My pledge to a better future:

I pledge allegiance to our shared earth and all who inhabit it, and to the values for which we stand: one world, indivisible, with dignity, compassion, justice, and opportunity for all.

Maybe they just aren’t following users that discuss other things like mud and slime 😅

Discovering computer as an adult makes you go crazy. Discovering computer as a baby makes you go crazy. In all of human history, there will only ever be one generation to discover computer at the correct age: 13

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

I love shopping for women's pants because sizing essentially boils down to "If you were a size four between the months of May and June on an odd-numbered year, you're a size 10 on even numbered years, unless you want jeans, in which case you're size 250, fuck you AND your giant calves"

it is impossible - completely impossible - to square the idea that conservatives ACTUALLY believe in "fiscal responsibility" with their behavior when they are in office and it has been for decades

from that you can, correctly, intuit that every other professed value is also a lie

The core problem with liberals' efforts to prove that they believe in the same values conservatives do is that conservatives are lying about what values they believe in.

This might be weird but I make sure to note time and steps I took in my lab notebook even if I’ve done the protocol dozens of times. This helps me keep track of time, make sure I didn’t skip any steps, and help me plan my day around an experiment for next time.

Here's the #InverteFest art book August 2025 cover posted in full - how many species can you identify in this piece? I'll post the answer later when I have the time to annotate the image.
A vertically long white drawing on black. the main figure is a wave of white, flowing from the bottom to the top composed of various invertebrates swimming and flying in unison - a sea slug, a bristle worm, a remipede, mosquito, jellies, and so on. lighter on the background are rough sketches of geometric pattern complementing the fluidly moving animals.

you'd think the governor of illinois basically going "we're being invaded by an authoritarian" would be something you'd see real easy on the front page of most everything an hour later

If you've been following any of the terrible data-related news coming out of the administration but haven't been able to step back and get a sense of the big picture, I have good news for you, which is that we just published a timeline compiling soooo many wild stories and events at @unbreaking.org
unbreaking.org
Since day one, the Trump administration has recklessly exploited Americans’ sensitive data in efforts to deport immigrants, restrict access to critical benefits and services, and gut the federal workforce. Here’s what we’ve learned so far: unbreaking.org/issues/data-...
Data Security — Unbreaking
How the administration is breaking the government, and what that means for all of us.

And yes, I am off Substack and on beehiiv now, apologies for jankiness.

Very telling

It's really telling how much of the conversation around AI boils down to, "Is there any value in humans being able to think?"

"Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought: You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another thought… the process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts [and] crystallizes half-formulated or unformulated thoughts"

While I think people have a right to do what they please with their money, that kinda stops at "funding the destruction of our democracy."

(2/5)

For decades, EPA scientists have worked to protect our water, air, and health.
Now, under Zeldin, their mission is unraveling.
A faux-news graphic titled “Under Deadly Threat: People and the Planet.” Text explains that EPA workers have long protected clean air, water, and community health, but under Zeldin, protections are unraveling—due to deregulation, slashed staffing, weakened science, and sidelined environmental justice. Below, a torn image shows a person in protective gear kneeling at a polluted water source, symbolizing the fracture in environmental oversight.
