Over on the other site Elon Musk said that DOGE stopped $50M of condoms from being delivered to Gaza which Trump the repeated several times but it turns out that was the number for all contraceptive support from USAID everywhere on Earth, of which none went to Palestinians.

how do you cope looking at your own parents knowing they support someone who wants you dead

putting queer phobia aside, how they with a disabled child think any of this is okay, especially with one working in special ed at a public school

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

I understand that ChatGPT is down and fortunately this is not a problem for me as I have spent considerable time developing a local language model that I am able to run autonomously, fueled by Coke Zero and snacks

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH**

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

just got home from rehearsal and so grateful for my ed staff making such a hard activity accessible to me. physical disability is rarely seen in the marching arts and my staff is a testament to how possible it is to make it accessible.

i genuinely can’t believe tiktok is gone. i spent over five years creating and finding community on there. i just hope i can find a resemblance of it on here.

going to try to make long form content on youtube but everything is going to be so much more work for so much less benefit.
