Honestly RFK Jr. banning NIH scientists from publishing in top journals would be a massive rake-stepping exercise. A complete self-own.

In reality, Tor is easy to use for anyone. It helps not only journalists and activists, but anybody who seeks […]

How come?

I recently moved across to my own self-hosted single-user server (using GoToSocial.org). For a bunch of reasons, including visibility across the Fedi, it would really help out.

“The important thing about FB’s carelessness is that it wasn't the result of the many grave personality defects in FB’s top executives—it was the result of policy choices.

The idea that autism is some aberration that can be cured is typical of a movement that celebrates simplistic thinking and loathes human difference.

RFK’s statements prove autistic people and their families everywhere should fear Trump and his allies […]

Columbia: Here you go. (He'll leave us alone now, right?)

Bully: Gimme a year's lunch money, Columbia.
Columbia: OK, here you go.

Bully: Hey Harvard, gimme two year's lunch money.

Why isn't the world going insane at Republican politicians visiting concentration camps and posing in front of people who will likely be dead within the decade.

This wasn't even normal in 1942. It's not even normal in North Korea - Fascist regimes usually […]
