One of my neighbors was murdered in the streets today by ICE agents motivated by this sort of race science propaganda.
Incredibly important story that everyone should read.

These are not disorganized lone actors, but well-funded and powerful networks to be treated as serious threats.

They are using our work to push a eugenicist and racist agenda that is scientifically invalid and morally reprehensible.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

An excellent, bone-chilling story about a cadre of online racists who stole genetic data from studies on children so they could make specious arguments for the innate inferiority of non-white people, it's embrace by Elon Musk/twitter & how the Trump administration might make it easier to do again.

Those shitheads on Twitter teamed up to steal kids’ data from NIH and then pretended those data into published proof of their “hereditarian”/racist beliefs.

I’m at Times Square, where an emergency “No War On Venezuela” protest just took to the street. Easily a thousand people here in real-feel 20°F weather.

“No more coups, no more wars, Venezuela’s not yours!”

“No boots on the ground no bombs in the air, U.S. out of everywhere!”

“For now, given all we know and don’t know about how bones grow, sex differences in height are reasonably explained as an accident or a by-product of estrogen’s role in our evolved reproductive system.”
There’s nothing wrong with common sense until you dig a little and learn that common sense is wrong. Thanks @profgalloway.com for providing a great example of common sense that I’ve gotten a kick out of doubting. Thanks @prosocialworld.bsky.social for hosting.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

The claims by AI defenders are always alarmist projections: *they* are running out of good ideas, so they say *we* are running out of good ideas. They find the humanities useless so they tell us that *most people* think humanities suck.

They are the issue, and these machines are their bad therapy.
Lmfao every AI defense piece is like "AYY I FUCKIN SUCK BRO HOPEFULLY THIS FUCKIN STEAL YOUR SHIT MACHINE WILL MAKE ME SUCK SLIGHTLY LESS OK"
