The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything.
Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

Q: On the Venezuela vessel strike, what legal authority were you guys working under?
JD VANCE: The legal authority is there are people who are bringing -- literal terrorists -- who are bringing deadly drugs into our country

CNN’s Van Jones urges “progressives” to “get on board” with bombing Iran:
“I think progressives underestimate how dangerous Iran is. Iran is not a normal country,” he said on air.
Jones did not share whether he considers Israel—an apartheid state currently committing genocide—a “normal country.”

When I saw @booker.senate.gov was starting last night, I thought it was a nice symbolic gesture. When it became clear he was going for the record, it got *much* more exciting. Take it over the finish line, Senator!
Booker is set to erase the record for speaking that was held by Thurmond
AGAINST CIVIL RIGHTS
as multiple state and corporate entities roll back to segregation
And people are wondering why this important

Booker is on track to erase and replace a historical record (from segregationist Storm Thurmond) at a time when we have an administration trying to erase the real history of this country. Lots of things matter. Symbols among them.

Imagine thinking people will jump at the chance to trade their careers in science and the arts for slobbering all over the AI boot for $10 an hour - until the AI is deemed well-trained enough to lay all the humans off.
Everyone who suggests such things is a perversion pretending to be human.

The greatest sin of capitalism (and potentially other systems too) is equating the value of a person with the value of their labor.

An important part of going fast is knowing when to take it slow!
Hard work alone is not inherently virtuous, and anyone who tells you otherwise is a victim of capitalist propaganda or is pushing it themselves!
I agree with @pearlmania500.bsky.social!

It's hard to fathom how it's physically possible to spend that amount of money on a wedding, short of just lighting it on fire--literally. Based on the numbers I could find, that's roughly what it would cost to build the Texas A&M football bonfire out of $1 bills.
That amount could house everyone on LA’s Skid Row for an entire year. He could have an extraordinarily expensive wedding at half that, and still pay to house everyone for 6 months. This is just digusting. www.thedailybeast.com/jeff-bezos-t...

Seconded. Any "argument" that doesn't start with the assumption below is wrong and not worth engaging with.

This would be great. Embroil him in a fight with a powerful company, in which nothing bad (I think?) happens if he wins, and hopefully it'll distract him from doing other stuff.
I suppose the potential downside is making people actually like him.

I've got three:
1. Something weird will happen, of which the absolutely wild early-vote turnout will be either a symptom (like a massive polling miss due to broken likely-voter models) or a cause (like a major network calling a state incorrectly).
