The Short and Ridiculous Trial of a Protester Arrested in an Inflatable Penis Costume An Alabama cop who confronted the No Kings protester claimed she posed a risk to public safety. The judge was unconvinced.

Ridiculousness.

A city atty actually stood up in court w a straight face & said: "while there is no constitutional right to dress as a giant “erect penis,” this case had nothing to do with the First Amendment. [It] was about public safety."

In any case, yay for BS charges falling apart (again).

I'm fascinated by how the people talking about how their algorithm is going to become god are supposedly not hysterical but the ppl saying no it isnt are

Sounds like the problem stems from industrial water use vs individual household or small community use:

“While city pools and splash pads consume almost 2 million gallons of water over the course of a summer, a single Exxon plastics plant consumes 13 million gallons per day.”

Corpus Christi plans to declare a 'water emergency.' What does that mean? City leaders intend to make unprecedented cuts to water use in September, but they aren’t sure exactly how.

Corpus Christi, Texas, appears to be on track to become the first modern American city to run out of water

I hope the way corporations punished people for getting a pandemic check and triggering the great resignation + higher pay will be studied. The combination of layoffs, forced AI, RTO policies, and never ending sickness is pushing people to unimaginable levels of burnout.

The dam has broken. This is horrifying.

BREAKING: We're joining over 120 organizations issuing a travel advisory to warn anyone visiting the U.S. for the 2026 FIFA World Cup of possible civil and human rights violations.

FIFA must pressure the Trump administration to protect the people traveling to and working at the games.

You know when you read those historical accounts of indulgent masquerades and hedonistic parties the aristocracy threw while all the peasants were starving, and then after the fires and rioting died down the survivors were all “but who could have seen it coming??”

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it.

Anyway: fund basic research.

"But all of these reforms require constitutional amendments..."

This is nonsense, and I wish people would stop repeating it

The Judiciary Act of 1789 wasn't a constitutional amendment. It was a statute enacted by Congress and signed by the President.

It can be amended like any other statute

Haha man I was having enough trouble concentrating today before my computer screens started shimmering and moving 😅

Zwicky was so disliked by his colleagues that other scientists in the building would start international collaborations on topics that Zwicky was working on down the hall from them on because they would rather have the delays than interact with Fritz

my fav Zwicky factoid is that the guy was so batshit his literal collaborator on the dark matter paper(who did all the maths because Zwickys speciality was big ideas and doing angry push ups as protest when anyone disagreed with them) Walter Baade, refused to be alone with him in the lab

Okay, so I know this will not stop the spammers, but:

The fake "book club" emails have gotten so bad that I've deleted a few legitimate invitations that were "punched up" with chat GPT. So I have two requests:

1. Don't do that. If you're asking me to do something, respect me enough not to use AI.

There's no reason why this man should still have a driver's license

"our friends across the aisle" is fundamentally a denial of reality (they aren't your friends if they're actively working for your death!) and it is enabled by a lack of comprehension of power structures and dynamics.

One of the reasons we all need at least some de/postcolonial theory in our lives is that power structures are fucking everywhere and we need to be able to understand, at least some, what we're seeing and how we all live within power structures.

i have really come to the view that partisanship is to be embraced wholesale. partisanship and principle but not purity.

When the president is a heinous abuser, when many of the most popular celebrities are heinous abusers, when the richest people in the world are heinous abusers, when the people developing new technology are heinous abusers, well that’s how you get a culture that incentivizes abuse
