The Trump administration will not rest until every elite institution has purged itself of black people. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I would like Democrats to come out and say that anyone receiving assets from this new slush fund, or profiting any of the other corrupt acts from this candidate, will have 100% of their assets seized the first chance we get. Even if they get pardoned.

Still feel like "Musk and his crew of incels destroyed a bunch of stuff they didn't understand and thereby hastened the deaths of millions of children" did not get the public attention it warranted.

Jay Bhattacharya pulls a study because he doesn’t like the conclusions. I cannot explain how bad this is and how it reeks of the stench of ideological zealotry and has no basis in science. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Yeah, I'm real tired of this narrative that disabled people "enjoyed" lockdown. Lockdown sucked. It just sucked less than dying of COVID, a thing the abled world doesn't care about anymore. I'm also tired of abled people mourning their time in lockdown more than they mourn the 1.2 million dead.

“No one ever discouraged the girl from North Carolina that had a dream to become an astronaut, and I think that was the most important thing.” www.ncrabbithole.com/p/how-christ...

Where on the Democracy Index does it fall when the government bans entire fields of education?

You'll never get magic like this with AI.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has been gutted in Trump's proposed 2027 budget. It's not Groundhog Day. It's just happening again. Here's what you need to know and what you can do to take action right now. bookriot.com/2027-imls-bu...

One of the things that is just maddeningly grotesque about the current situations in Cuba and Iran is that Trump imposes mass suffering as a means of ego gratification

Segregationists did memory hole slavery for about 100 years and then integration meant that white students would learn about it honestly in school and they've been trying to memory hole it again ever since.

ARTEMIS FROM SAILOR MOON WAS AT THE ARTEMIS 2 LAUNCH AND IM VERY EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT www.reddit.com/media?url=ht...

Someone at NASA mission control is a Sailor Moon fan www.reddit.com/r/sailormoon...

A few people have replied to my Artemis posts with links to Gil Scott-Heron's "Whitey on the Moon." Here's a story from Space.com about Artemis II pilot Victor Glover, currently en route to fly around the Moon, and his connection to that piece. www.space.com/space-explor...

Reminder that the moon that orbits the Earth has a name in English and that name is the Moon. There are lots of nicknames and names in other languages (Luna, for instance) but technically in English it is just the Moon. The concept of a moon is uncapitalized; our moon is the Moon.

“go back to the moon but this time we have really good cameras” was a fantastic idea

The whole-Earth-at-night photo from the #Artemis II mission was brighter than many expected. That was mostly due to camera settings; here’s another pic taken just before with diff settings. Digital photography is always subjective—even before processing! (HT @swapnakrishna.com @jasonc0.bsky.social)

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

Someone sent me this.

The problem with waiting for the courts to push back on Trump is that the damage has often been done before any resolution.

Also want to remind everyone that North Carolina hasn’t passed a budget in 260 days.

Excuse me, what did you just say? WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY??? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

Chuck Schumer likes to imagine how his politics play with an imaginary middle-class middle-aged couple on Long Island, but I don't think he realizes that couple is currently constructing a guillotine in their suburban backyard and stockpiling Molotov cocktails.

Seriously though, I want to really note my appreciation for Tim Walz’s specific, by-name defense of our Somali neighbors. “Your great-grandchildren will still be here when this administration is dust” hit me harder than every other speaker combined

There's a long, bad journalistic tradition: All conservative grass-roots political movements are fascinating heartland phenomena, all progressive grass-roots political movements are ineffectual bleating. This one is written off as powered by white female college grads--the wine-moms slur, basically.

Sandra Wong, the great granddaughter of Wong Kim Ark, is preparing to march at the #NoKings Rally in San Francisco. Today is the 128th Anniversary of the SCOTUS decision affirming birthright citizenship.

If a secdef violating the 14th amendment rights of US servicemembers by denying promotions based on race isn’t impeachable then I don’t see what is. The man would rather the military be racist than effective.

Remember when conservatives said Obama was a narcissist because he used the word "I" a lot in speeches

The hacks working furiously to rationalize Trump’s desire to end birthright citizenship serve very much the same function in law that the Discovery Institute does in biology: To create the illusion of a scholarly debate that in fact does not exist.

if Wikipedia, an org with a shoestring budget and volunteer workforce can ban use of llms, what excuse do large orgs and universities have

Every I.C.E. victim in these clips is a U.S. citizen. These are the Kavanaugh Stops™️ that that human frat paddle assured us would last only momentarily and cause only minor, if any, inconvenience. All lies. Rule of Law is dead and buried. There is no coming back from this. Sorry, folks.

Y'all know that Indiana tried to do this to Illinois last year and Iowa, this year, right? Red states are trying to steal counties from blue states, and they're counties that have been gerrymandered or suppressed enough to read "red." Stealing and lying is the only way the GOP gets elected.

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

This is every digitization archivist's worst nightmare when realizing AI has definitely mined all of our digital repositories and online collections.

I agree 100% with Steven Vickers that authors will be falsely accused of using AI in the coming years. In particular, authors like myself whose works were stolen to train AI systems are at risk. When we write in our own unique styles, AI trained on us will quite likely flag us as using AI.

You shouldn’t have to “go through a bunch of hoops” to exercise a fundamental right www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The next time a career politician says Universal Healthcare isn’t a right because it would “bankrupt” America, I hope all of us will remember these past few weeks and the $200 billion PeteHegseth and @POTUS want for their Iran misadventure

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Here's your moment of zen: A "holy" cat named Coco stands at the entrance of a church in Mexico, seemingly blessing everyone who walks in 🐱
