Twitch did an oopsy this month and paused some subs for people on my channel. Apparently affects your "sub streak" as well if you don't renew within 20 days. I have no clue which subs or how many subs it was, but it seems like subs have to check it manually.

The BMJ journal Archive of Disease in Childhood has just published the epidemiological study done by York university that was commissioned as part of the Cass review into gender clinics in the UK. It contains some STARTLING (and yet, unsurprising) revelations. 1/n

12/n 4. It is staggeringly incompetent that the Cass review failed to put this data front and centre. This undercuts many of the key recommendations of the review. It should be page 1, not published a year later with no fanfare.

It’s shocking how few people know about the #Tuberculosis outbreak in Kansas. Why? Because the CDC can’t issue notifications to alert healthcare workers about it. #PublicHealth

it's just depressing as fuck that a bunch of men who have more money than they could ever spend in 20 lifetimes are willing to destroy *pretty much everything society has every accomplished and kill millions of people* in order to get more.

There are days when it seems there is no hope, that the world is falling into an abyss of injustice and despair. Do not let those days end your resolve. Rather let them strengthen your drive to overcome, to undo those wrongs, to stand on the righteous side of history. It is not easy, but it is just.

I'm just going to keep shouting it: TRUMP TOLD PROSECUTORS TO DIVERT RESOURCES AWAY FROM DRUG TRAFFICKERS TO GO AFTER IMMIGRANTS.

WOW. Elon’s former friend, NeuroVigil founder Dr. Phillip Low, absolutely WRECKED him on Facebook. It’s long but you have to read every word of this. Holyyyyyy 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Major news: Donald Trump has just issued a trans military ban, with much of the details left to Hegseth. It states that being trans is incompatible with "an honorable, truthful, and disciplined lifestyle" I know many military trans people who have served admirably for decades. Shameful.

Doing a little extra overtime at the Factory! twitch.tv/zollton

Was hoping I wouldn’t have to dust off this gem again.

The Tuskegee Airmen were the first African American flying unit in the U.S. military. Altogether, 992 pilots graduated from the Tuskegee Air Field courses, and they flew 1,578 missions and 15,533 sorties, destroyed 261 enemy aircraft, and won more than 850 medals.

Really thankful to all of the scientists who made themselves available to talk to me about the unprecedented situation at NIH. I've never had so many people reach out to me for a story like this. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

From Eric Koch on X: "A friend of mine has skin cancer and was about to start a clinical trial"—treatment now canceled, thanks to Trump. x.com/EricDKoch/st...

WHAT UP BLUESKY?! WE HEARD Y’ALL LOVE TIDDIES AND THE GREAT CITY OF PHILADELPHIA 🔔

Trump's AG nominee withdrew due to charges he was a sexual predator, while Trump's DoD nominee may survive charges that *he* was a sexual predator, as we learn multiple House Republicans texted a 1/6 witness asking for "sexual favors" and, uh, maybe Dems could draw a bright line around all this?

Tune into Joy Reid now. Mike Fanone and his mother will be on and Danny Hodge, Sgt Gonell and myself will be joining them!

It's too bad "employment lawyers" aren't an investment class, because those people are going to be earning some serious bank over the next few years. If this happens to you, in writing, 100% walk straight to an employment lawyer.

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining. We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines. It's great, I love it.

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

I wrote about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau yesterday. They updated their site today See, Trump ordered removal of all DEI programs from agencies' websites by 5pm DEI page? Gone Replaced with extensive explanation why the law mandated they have an Office of Minority & Women Inclusion

Fellow scientists, please consider speaking w/ media about what this means for "regular Americans." The link below is to contact a reporter who's collecting stories about the unfolding NIH situation - pls share anonymously or on record. @anniewaldman.bsky.social www.propublica.org/people/annie...

PHOENIX — Arizona's top education official is opposed to a new Trump administration directive allowing immigration officials to pursue students in schools.

For Star subscribers: Jose Contreras, chef-owner of Amelia's Mexican Kitchen, with two Tucson locations is up for the national culinary honor. And Bisbee's Bakery Patisserie Jacqui is among 20 bakeries

We spoke with queer Flyers fans on why Pride Nights like last night, truly matter. From @leafylane16.bsky.social :

This is important.

FYI - Wolfenstein: Alt History Collection has a Game Pass discount. The Alt History Collection takes players on an adventure through a grim alternate history where Nazis have achieved global domination. Forge new alliances & rally fighters to push back the fascist war machine.

Boy I don't like the phrase "internal checks on Musk's access to intel unclear." www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is an amazing quote, from a Jan 6 prisoner who is refusing Trump’s pardon. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

You do NOT have to speak to ICE without a JUDICIAL warrant. If they attempt to enter your home or your workplace, ask for a warrant. Sometimes they will try to use other, non qualifying paperwork. They need a warrant. (2/3)

Former chair of the Libertarian Party of Tennessee 👇🏽

Honor is important. Look no further than the hateful antics of those who have none to see why.

Sitting Congressman calls for *deportation* of clergy member for daring to include in her sermon a plea for Trump to show mercy to immigrants. Totally normal, well-adjusted human being stuff here. Truly.

PARDONED: This disturbing video has always stuck with me. Albuquerque Head of Kingsport TN was sentenced to 90 months in prison for using a stolen riot shield to attack police officers. Thanks to President Trump, he will walk free.

Why should you fight injustice, if it affects only others? Why should you defend rights that don't affect you? Because it isn't justice if you only care when it applies to you. Because rights apply to all, or nobody at all. Because you are a true warrior, and honor demands it.

trans people are always welcome in my space your existence is not a threat to anything but the frail social constructs that restrain self expression and self love

Don’t just say “calling them illegal is dumb.” Say what we SHOULD do, then, to resist illegal orders. It’s easy to say “that’s dumb.” But also not helpful. And for the record, think it’s all’s wrong: saying “they’re illegal” isn’t SUFFICIENT, but likely a useful political PIECE.

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?
