Mostly complaining about politics and structural biology. At the end of everything, hold on to anything.

Behold: The US Defense Intelligence Agency has released a report on challenges to security in space, including an NEI image of China’s spaceplane from Maxar, taken in 2024.

i have an agent that posts negative comments about Bryan Johnson the longevity influencer and owner of www.bryanjohnson.com until his agent gets fed up and emails all of my friends and colleagues about the fact that i have highly negative sentiment towards Bryan Johnson who i do not like

oh my fucking god we are not going to do "democrats are about to lose 2028" a week before an election in which people are incredibly fucking enthusiastic about voting for democrats why are we (everyone left of center) like this

No thanks, don't think I will.

things are slightly better but not entirely fixed, this is basically the same as 1000 years of fascism if you've got undiagnosed major depression

politics is rolling a rock up a hill forever and you have to fucking at it it and maintain some degree of positivity because you need people on your side to also keep rolling the rock. There's no single moment of permanent victory you just need to keep doing it

ladies, is your programming - a field dominated by rich white men - driven by fashion trends - practiced as a demonstration of status - funded by vanity projects for failsons - filled with queers trying and failing to break even that's art, sorry

Nyek London@stupidhoroscope.bsky.social

I don’t know how people could say that programming and art are completely different disciplines when both workflows involve going ‘This will never work, I’m a failure’, changing one thing, then thinking you might be the smartest person alive

I think you can make the case that Eileen Canon is single-handedly responsible for Trump staying out of Federal prison in the docs case.

I Nied braaaaiiiiins 🧟@nied.bsky.social

That plus Eileen Canon's repeated fuckery are more responsible for Trump staying out of prison than anything Garland did.

I would love to live in a world where "President faces new rape allegation" isn't treated like a dog bites man story in the major media.

there are tools like this for code review and they can be extremely helpful in reviewing complex code changes if your brain works well with the tool. mine doesnt but some of my coworkers love it

this report is not the product of a democratic party that is in the mood to just turn over a new leaf and let things go

NEW: "Donald Trump was an active participant in Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse of young women during the mid-to-late 1990s," per new House Judiciary Dem report. Report has new allegation that Trump raped a 24-year-old and then promised the victim a visa & NYU admission, demanding she stay quiet.

Now that’s what I call a sentence

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

I live in a rural town and, like, I don't know how to tell you this, but the girls play on the boys team and vice versa all the time because otherwise we don't have enough players for a game and it's literally always fine so stop being weirdos about kids sports and just let trans kids play.

I think Sarah McBride's presence in the caucus has been extremely important in preventing Labourization because most of these people are kind of dumb and she can explain what's going on in small words.
