“What more is there to say about the character of this petty, hollow, squalid, overstuffed man? — sometimes the point bears stressing: We are led by the most loathsome human being ever to occupy the White House.”

The holidays can bring things up. There is always someone to listen. In Ireland, & the UK, call the Samaritans on 116123. In the US call 988.

Listening; even in silence, being there. Everyone goes thru something. If you are in a different country, feel free to share my example with your helpline.
I heard a conversation about adult sex abuse, where the belief was if the victim didn’t react, it wasn’t abuse!

As someone who experienced abuse, being groped at a funeral by a priest, I can tell you that shock, disbelief & embarrassment play a massive part in not reacting*.

Believe survivors.

The 6 richest men in the world are all Trump allies.

They control your algorithms and data on X, TikTok, Twitch, Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, and YouTube.

Just in case you’re wondering why more isn’t done to stop right-wing bots and misinformation on social media.

IUPAT President @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social is right:

Temporary Protected Status recipients are rigorously vetted, pay taxes, and do work in critical industries. They are part of our communities and our unions—they deserve respect and protection.

America’s unions will keep fighting for them.

If your house of worship is silent about the cruelty and the attacks on your neighbors by ICE, you’re at the wrong church, mosque, synagogue, temple, or gurdwara.

In other news, "No shit" and also "Sherlock"
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

It can be exhausting. But hope isn’t passive optimism; it’s a daily discipline.

You show up, again and again, and refuse to accept a world that harms people by design.

That’s how transformation actually happens.

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints.

Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

How you know Australia's gun control works? You can reference "the Australian mass shooting" and there's no confusion. You couldn't reference "the American mass shooting" without a city and a date (and, on a few days, an address).

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
