Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.
“Go talk to a librarian”
“No, it’s too slow.”
Who needs to think about topics or actually do research when you can ask an LLM to give you an answer plausible enough that you feel satisfied regardless of the actually truth?
(A lot of very smart people, sadly.)
Same!
On the one hand, this is massively dystopian, foretelling an end to all of our livelihoods. But on the other (more important) hand, I could not have invented a better anecdote to illustrate my book’s thesis.
My platform doesn’t just include Medicare for All, but the addition of a more robust public health network. Public health is my specialty and it’s all too often overlooked. We have to invest in public health along with Medicare for all so that we can treat people today and prevent diseases tomorrow.
Elon Musk has already started plans to launch a million satellites.
Yes. A MILLION.
This is a colossally bad idea, and it's not too late to make your voice heard. I explain everything:

MANDATORY TIMELINE CLEANSE
Two white nationalists I exposed in a recent article showed up to try to intimidate me in person last night.
This is a press freedom issue.

Also, not for nothing, but the more places that use them, the harder the make it on actual reference chat staff who then get treated like bots on chat and even sometimes phone because people will refuse to believe we’re real and treat us like humans. Infuriating every time.
I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.
My pal, former Star Trek RPG developer @rossisaacs.bsky.social, is still struggling with horrible health issues and could use your help. Please share and chip in if you can. \

I don’t even like hot sauce, but I will place an order! Who doesn’t like hot sauce as a gift?! Thank you!
A simple test for America's law firms and universities: Will you show as much integrity as Waffle House?
Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs.
Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.

“Fish” can be both singular (one individual) and plural (multiple individuals of the same species.) “Fishes” is multiple species.

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle.
Our trans friends and family don't deserve this discriminatory subjugation and neither does anyone else (but the GOP will definitely do it to whoever they feel like punishing, if they're not stopped).

tonight's fundraising goal let's go.
The sensory stuff was always real hard. WHERE IS THAT BEAN, or chip, or corn kernel… is a thing I said with some frequency.
Nooooo 😭
Haven’t warn a bra in a while, but goodness do I remember that feeling.
The war against Americans continues on many fronts. Gift article.

I don't think people's problem with, for example, the paper's decade-long crusade putting a big ol' target on trans people's backs can be accurately described as NYT doing "reporting that doesn't always 100% accord with what advocacy groups want."
How to turn off Gemini in Gmail without turning off tabs & other innocuous "smart features." In the general setting tab you'll see a check box to turn on smart features. You don't want to uncheck that. You want to click on "manage workspace smart features" and toggle the features off in the popup.

I just did this. Please, please do it too.
For anyone that feels a little nervous, like I did (first time calling the switchboard), it wasn't that bad, and it felt good to record my thoughts on this matter.
My community has the best men. Can't find a better man than a trans man.
This guy jumped into freezing water, barely able to swim, to save a baby.
That is who we are. Don't let anyone tell you different.

Gender critical folks also don't believe us when we tell them "sex-based rights" is an idea they themselves made up in just the last handful of years.
Calling your reps and senators can feel really nerve racking at first. We actually did an episode about this on How to Save a planet which I cannot fucking find but an easy solution is to do it with a friend.
The more you do it the less stressful it gets.
