@occlupanid.bsky.social There appears to be an active attack on the HORG site. I raised this issue in the FORC Discord and in an email a few months ago. I can provide more details on what I know through email or another method

Pedaled on 6 Portland bridges and had breakfast on a few too. Amazing how huge interstate infrastructure actually is, and how many cyclists can move through that space without traffic (busy moments not pictured cause I forgot) #bikesky

If your critique of an action, effort, or movement to protect more people boils down to, “But I want to protect what I (or even other people) already secured for myself,” don’t be surprised if we part ways.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago:

—Pioneering cancer researcher;
—*Arrested* at airport in Boston;
—Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana;
—"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research.

Read it.

New images could change cancer diagnostics, but ICE detained the Harvard scientist who analyzes them
Without scientist Kseniia Petrova’s expertise, no one can fully unlock the data’s potential, putting crucial advancements in early cancer detection at risk.

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

paris proves it: when we stop designing cities for cars and start designing them for people, the air clears, the streets come alive, and life gets better. less smog, more green. less noise, more joy. fewer fumes, more kids playing safely. this isn't some hippy dream, it's a choice.
