Seth Moulton, I don't believe for a moment that you actually give a shit about the mental health of your constituents.

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria - the powerhouse of the cell - have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery… 🧵

mitochondria from bipolar patients are closer to the nucleus in these images; control patients' are spread out further

the idea that the only way we can have a primary is to run a 77 year old career politician against a newcomer is a sign of a tragically unimaginative politics

We need retirement from being an elected official to be a thing for politicians

does portland really need half a dozen armed security people standing around at their airport public transit station.

definitely makes you feel less safe to have these folks there

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

You procrastinate, and then you write the fucking paper the way the gods and nature intended. Several hours before it's due, high off either caffeine, nicotine, sugar, drugs, and PANIC.

Fuck AI.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

This has been my assumption and belief for many years - civilian control, whether it be from Mayors or Governors, over police is effectively limited to whatever discretionary control they have over the police budget.

Jane the (Scary) Ghost 🇵🇸🏳️‍⚧️ @janetheghost.bsky.social · 1d

Personally, I suspect it's both. Pritzker was never going to directly confront Trump in any material way. But at the same time, I don't think there is effective civilian control over the police at basically any level, in any state. They follow instructions and laws when they want to, and ignore/

this is probably right (the "we've decided to blame this thing for autism" is certainly eugenics), but it's still weird even for them

Look, Tylenol would probably never be approved today (difference between a standard dose and a lethal dose is too narrow), but like what is with these fascists and their obession with a drug that, taken as directed, is pretty safe, effective, and with limited drug interactions?

Put my laundry away and packed for my trip this weekend, but my cat has claimed one of my t-shirts and has been sleeping on it for an hour.

At least i managed to distract her enough that she didn’t attack me for doing laundry

Natalie Portman with a shaved head in the film V for Vendetta, which is a movie not real life, gazes at the masked anarchist revolutionary V, who again, is not real life but based on a comic book character.
