Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

"Palantir CEO Alex Karp says his AI technology will lessen the power of “highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men."

Just saying it right out loud now.

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

California has had about the average amount of rain expected for this time of year, but snowpack is half of normal and melting fast.
This is absolutely evidence of #climatechange.

For comparison's sake, the entire National Park Service costs $3 billion - a year.

If any news outlets are covering this and want to talk to a trans Genomics PhD who specialized in human genetics and the evolution of sex, please reach out to me

This is complete nonsense scientifically. It's fascist eugenics, not biology

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

175 are dead. Most were kids. Hegseth should be fired.

Ah, I had forgotten that the split occurred before the start of the story. I vaguely remembered that the shibari class caused the split, but I thought it was, like, earlier that week or something.

You know, I should just reread the whole damn thing 😁

Two months!?! That’s gotta be a new speed record for Stede blowing up his life and rebuilding around Ed. Genuinely impressive.

Even though I'm an economist, I wish there was more focus on the human suffering from this war and less focus on the economic consequences. Hundreds of little girls are dead, and we're worried about oil prices.

Our government keeps telling us America can't afford universal health care or expanding Medicare for ALL. There's a reason for that.🗽

How Congress can restore the independence of US science Members must go beyond reinstating US government research spending and re-establish decentralized governance at the National Institutes of Health and other agencies.

The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed.

For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music

Several dozen folks did

Some even dubbed music over the original clip.

I haven't been able to get this out of my head.

So I give you

I have been trying to get this for months. I live in a red state that stripped all my civil rights, just passed a bill bringing back conversion therapy, no longer counts my ppl in education stats ... I am disabled as well. I really need access to community, too. #MutualAid Thx so much for shares.

A handful of Republicans in Congress & Supreme Court can end this nightmare any time they choose, and history will remember them as saviors of the republic, no matter what terrible things they did to US in last 10 years: insane we cannot find a few volunteers for this plum deal!

I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
