We need a labeler here that lets everyone know.

ACTUALLY WENT TO THE 2026 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER

Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s Effort to Force Hospitals to Halt Trans Youth Care The judgment overturns the Kennedy Declaration, which has forced 40 hospitals to drop gender affirming care for minors.

A federal judge has issued a blistering 49-page written opinion vacating the Kennedy Declaration, that threatened to revoke all federal funding, including Medicare and Medicaid, from any hospital that offered gender-affirming care for transgender youth, a virtual death sentence for any hospital.

Sounds like Kevin Warsh has some pedo investments

Telling people about the good, useful use cases for AI is kinda like telling people about the 30-50 feral hogs you need your AR-15 for

It is entirely true and yet so completely divorced from the lived experience of your audience that you sound ridiculous

This Is Just To Say

I have turned off
the AI features
that were in
the update

and which
you were probably
hoping
to monetize

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

Cool. My electric mixer stirs faster than my finger

Where U.S. science has been hit hardest after Trump’s first year The Trump administration has slashed the number of grants from the National Institutes of Health, with far fewer focused on women, cancer and mental health.

Those of us doing research related to women’s health have been hit particularly hard by the govt’s sabotage of the NIH. I spoke to WaPo for this piece, as painful as it was to discuss the reality my lab is facing. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2026...

Techbros have always been eugenicists interested in reinventing the Galton wheel and creating ‘designer babies’, but congrats on framing it like they’re doing the world a favor by seeking eugenicist ‘fixes’ to the AI problem THEY THEMSELVES HAVE CREATED

whoa, Kent State and Wright State are eliminating their chemistry BS degree programs #chemsky

UC Berkeley professor Kwabena Bediako under investigation for sexual harassment allegations Since the allegations were publicized, nearly every graduate and undergraduate student in the Bediako Lab has left the lab.

I'm struck by the bravery of this student and the fantastic way the union handled this allegation. What a model for all of us to follow in terms of how to show up for our members.

clearest sign he's going to run for President.

“Narrative paragraphs summarizing committee discussion will not be used. Instead, summaries will have a sentence describing the degree of consensus in the committee vote, plus bullets listing the main score driving points.“

Why not just give the score distribution and be done with it?

Over the past week, the president posted an image of himself as Jesus, the vice president challenged the pope on Catholic doctrine, and the secretary of defense quoted the speech of a fictional hit man and presented it as scripture.

Past me is the worst!

🧪 Me responding with vitriol:

There’s a reason biologists refuse to be empaneled with “creation scientists.”

There’s a reason climate researchers refuse to share podiums with climate deniers.

And it’s the same reason why platforming those destroying science is terrible. Hint: It’s not popularity.

I hope more people focus on the import of this turnout last year. Not least bc standing up to bigotry can itself be a rallying cry.

It’s interesting to see the media roll out of the new Lena Dunham memoir juxtaposed with the media reception of the Lindy West memoir

JD Vance is heading to the US and is ready to offer his assistance to any candidates back home.

Kick ass!!!

I'm a WNBA player. Don't use athletes like me to exclude trans women. IOC's policy invites unequal scrutiny. We cannot choose our genes or chromosomes, but we can choose whether we protect the dignity of every athlete.

Pros like Brianna Turner have made it abundantly clear what women athletes need — attacking and excluding trans and intersex athletes isn't on the list.
