Okay obviously US trying to take over Greenland is a farce and a horrible idea. But also, Greenland's flag is amazing and that alone is reason enough to oppose the takeover.

Wow! Yay! The Senate just rejected Trump’s proposed science cuts, voting 82–15 to boost funding for NOAA, NASA, and the NSF. The bill already passed the House 397–28. Strong bipartisan support for science still exists.

AGDQ is a great example of how an organization of some kind can simply choose correctly and chase out stinky transphobes and misogynists and bigots and be 500000% better for it. they raise more money for charity like, every year. excluding bigots = more success

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

I read Slaughterhouse V in my undergrad history course, taught by a Kennedy assassination conspiracy theorist. Totally life-changing. Breathtakingly tragic and hilarious.
when i was 15 i was convinced i wasn’t good enough for my very pretty girlfriend so i did all her homework for her, which eventually included reading “slaughterhouse-five,” which immediately led to me ignoring the fuck out of my very pretty girlfriend as i read kurt vonnegut’s other 13 novels.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

If you're an academic talking to a non-academic audience, the goodwill you build by either not using jargon, or explaining any jargon you do use, is incalculable.
Correct use of jargon is about gatekeeping. But you're not here to show your credentials, you're here to engage with other people.

Very pleased to see James Watson's homages in the press being roundly roasted in the comments for crediting him with Rosalind Franklin's discovery. #jameswatson #science #DNA

In case anyone is wondering if Watson was really THAT bad, @lpachter.bsky.social compiled a list of quotes that are absolutely not for the faint of heart.
