Removing race from kidney function algorithm helped more Black patients access transplants Removing race from the eGFR had a big impact, resulting in 5.3 more kidney transplants per 1000 Black candidates.

“A new study found the change had big results, impacting 27% of Black patients and resulting in 5.3 more transplants per 1000 Black candidates.”

yeah what the fuck is that last sentence?? lmao

clown event still possible

oh whoa that's me, Vivianne

I hate how "unc" has been appropriated. It's to the point where non Blacks also use it as a slur

I get people telling me to write to my (Labour) MP lmao. I’ve written to him every week for 11 months now and he’s ignored every single letter. My local (Labour) councillors also wrote to him saying he should meet me and he’s ignored them too!

Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor."

I have, multiple times.

I don't think people understand how averse the NYT is to publishing a trans person.

It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.

Must read: xAI is poisoning Mississippi, captured via thermal imaging.

The Singularity is upon us: Apple's AI summarized a text message that read "I'm still down to clown if you are" to.... "clown event still possible."

“AI chat bots contain the sum of all human knowledge”

NO they fucking DO NOT! Like not even remotely close. *The sum of all human knowledge?* Did the New York Times let the AI Chatbot write this sub headline for them? Irresponsible as hell

Salvador Dali’s The Persistence of Memory, featuring a landscape with melting pocket watches

“Human art often includes errors of physics. Here, Salvador Dalí has accidentally painted these pocket watches in a semi-fluid state, when in fact pocket watches are necessarily made out of solid materials. Current GenAI image models have evolved beyond such trifling mistakes.”

"Looks like you guessed, out of a perverse defiant impulse, that some pathetic meatbag made a bunch of these quotes by looking for primitive and vestigial elements like 'a distinctive style,' which our perfect machines have sanded down to a smooth, homogenous word slurry" go fuck yourself!!!!

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

it's basically like when you're on drugs and see a bunch of weird wiggling detail in a towel hanging in the bathroom

EXCLUSIVE: Secret ICE Detention Facilities Exist Around Colorado, Data Shows Just west of downtown Glenwood Springs, perched between Midland Avenue and Interstate 70, a strip mall houses a gym, a chiropractor’s office, a tax accountant, and on the far end...

And people kept saying this was hyperbole to think they would use secret prisons.

when you are close enough to a whale to get a close view of his spout, he is in a prodigious commotion, the water cascading all around him

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.

I don't know but time to find out

I am hereby offering to purchase Bluesky and the ATmosphere for a tidy sum of $1000

Hey @toni.bsky.team what do you think can I have it

I cannot find this on xcancel, so i have to assume it isn't real or was deleted unless someone else has a link

i love following up. i love checking in. circling back. any word. would love a status update. lmk. i do not have an anxiety disorder fyi

"It seems I was mistaken — the princess IS in another castle. I appreciate the correction, and I'll be more careful next time.

But your adventure isn't just about finding the princess — it's about the experiences you have along the way, clearing large gaps, kicking turtles, and touching flags."

Watching a demo of how you can turn every NPC in your RPG town into somebody who says "That's right — you *are* the four LIGHT WARRIORS. You make a great point! The bridge to the main continent *does* need to be repaired, and you're just the person to do it."

yeah i got bitten by this same sort of thing once when i was learning guitar! very silly IMO

one of us

yesss

I think @jay.bsky.team's biggest accomplishment: she allowed the Bluesky engineering team to follow their hearts on what they saw as pursuing the best design. Not easy to do given all the other pressures in the role.

Best of luck with what's next, and I hope future leadership does the same.

injections are the best!! hope it goes well ^•^
