He has merely gotten 98.5% of what he wanted, it's been a divided court all along

Bone-Strengthening Discovery Could Reverse Osteoporosis A little-known receptor may reshape how scientists approach bone loss.

Amazing, potentially.

kinda fascinated by how the real big sea change with Claude etc is you can ask it a question how you would a person and then somehow you stop treating it like a person because I know y'all aint believing half of this shit if a person said it

thinking of the family next door to us in Chennai who had a grandma who spent like 20 years winning domestic fights by pulling out this one matchbox and declaring she was going to use it to burn herself and then one time her grandson and I stole it to light a cigarette and it had no matches in it

Beth worked as a doctor for years until a transphobe turned up. Now, she's had to leave her job, leave her home, move to the other side of the world and is still being hounded and harassed by the media and cult.

She did nothing but exist as trans in the orbit of Sandie Peggie.

Williams says that the bill wouldn't apply to "appropriate drag," and said that it's written in a way that obscenity could be determined by individual law enforcement.

Conservatives *want* the vagary inherent in the law because it makes them, and their police, the arbiter of morality. They don't like the idea of justice being blind.

"Of course we won't go after Shakespeare!" they say honestly, and they're correct.

They'll decide what drag is "appropriate."

Okay. Let's take a moment to talk about How To Be A Hugo Nominee And Come Out Of It Happy About the Honor. I realize this is relevant to like, twelve people. I don't care, those twelve people deserve my time. (You may have seen a version of this thread before. I do it every year.)

the answer is always "the chilly you're not used to" a habanero will kill an Indian, a bhoot will not because they attack differently

wow, they hired rowling as a contributing writer?!

This is a gross idea. Disgusting, awful, sad. Pathetic.

Happy National Library Week to whoever did this.

We fucking warned y’all that this was the goddamned end goal for those smart glasses.

This is a thorough history of rights-holders' influence over (mostly) film adaptations of Sherlock Holmes. For folks excited about Sherlock in the public domain and free to be gay, I HIGHLY recommend "Watson's Sketchbook," by @leeknoxostertag.bsky.social

everytime something like this is posted it's by someone who doesn't actually know any single men

Agreed entirely.

The ICE "detention facilities" *are* concentration camps - literally facilities concentrating civilians deemed 'unwanted' and 'enemies' of the U.S. state, in violation of their basic human rights.

The history of concentration camps is longer & more common than most people know.

I think people who think that way should probably be honest with themselves that delivering "hard truths" to people who didn't vote Democrat in 2024 is more about making themselves feel better, not about trying to get those people to vote Democrat in 2028.

This isn't perfect, but I love it and it is a single long-exposure shot, not a composite. Rarely for me, this show had a bit of a plan behind it or at least the idea of looking across the bow with a long enough time exposure to render bergy bits in the water with streaks. 1/

This is, no joke, one of my favroite ships in all of scifi. Ranks up there with the refit Enterprise and the Space:1999 Eagle. It's gorgeous, and really follows the already established Ancient design ethic in Stargate.

This is where Hinduism actually cracked the code, yes the gods have portfolios but they also have overlaps and mediating fights over jurisdiction was basically Indra's full time job as king of the devas

Hinduism is anime that looks at every cartoon ever drawn and says "you know that art is part of our mythos, right? you've always just been anime"

What A Shrink Thinks Martha Crawford offering workshops, consultations, and essays on dreams, death, contemplation, community resilience and psychologies of liberation

A thread to pin to my feed about the different kinds of work that I do around something central that feels whole to me:

Almost everything is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis

Upcoming events and workshops are a good place to start

You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

The Justice Department.

Glad for all the romantasy readers who're living in their golden age but when will fiction drenched in unsentimental cynicism starring women who give no fucks be on trend again (asking for myself and my career)

I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.

Sorry, I should clarify.

Instead of saying "homoeroticism," I should have just said "canonically gay."

I found some pretty fascinating incidents of Conan Doyle heirs and others trying to stop Sherlock and Watson from being a canonically gay couple.

Sorry for the vague earlier post! <3
