Now if we could just get people to view US prisons through the same lens they view CECOT.

Found the actual men in women's bathrooms assaulting women.
ICE agents illegally break into a woman's bathroom in a NY nutrition bar manufacturing plant. "Pull up your pants," says a male agent. The agents only had a warrant to review employer documents. They didn't have a warrant to search for, detain, or arrest anyone there.

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

And now you’re either going to get reactionary airlines swinging the other way because we don’t want people getting help they “don’t need”, depriving people who do need it, or some ableist full of righteous fury is going to start shi.

Because you couldn’t use your platform to EDUCATE.

If Karen grumbles at the gate about someone, that’s ableism on her part. For the Wall Street Journal to run this headline? That’s journalistic malpractice. It’s misinformation designed to make people more ableist. It’s ableist rage bait.

41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

41 minutes is a long time to sit in your air conditioned office watching men struggle to survive as you decide to kill them.

The perfect color for painting the interior of your home so that banks don't have to do anything after seizing your property and selling it to a predatory private equity investor after you foreclose.
Pantone’s 2026 color of the year is technically not a color at all — meet Cloud Dancer, the first-ever white shade to receive the designation from the world’s color authority.
Pantone makes a surprising choice for its 2026 color of the year

Moevember 2025 is complete! I hope you enjoyed what has, once again, been a really stupid Moe-nth. Thank you to anyone who has took a Moe-ment to appreciate Springfield’s favourite bartender. Keep the Moe spirit in your heart all year round.

The extra layer to this year’s Moevember - titled “Ani-Moe-tion” - wasn’t as impactful as last years, but it was really fun to do! I’m interested in projects that stretch and challenge my skills, and trying to adapt some into all these styles was a delight.

One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

You'll notice that there are certain demographics in society - the poor, immigrants, disabled people - who we are constantly told live on easy street with the government lavishing them with riches, and even after decades of policy designed to stop this, still have it way too good.
No, I'd say it's racists and those pandering to them.
