Sir, allow me to point you to this extremely important quote: bsky.app/profile/jona... I ask you to look at the words "...so I'll ask an LLM." then think on the facts that 1) LLMs are not search engines and 2) using commercially-made genA.i./LLMs IN ANY CAPACITY severely erodes our trust in you.

Trust, I’d argue, is the most important thing we have as scinece communicators. People come to us because they trust that *we* have done the work to figure out what is true and what isn’t and we can explain it to them. Once that trust is broken, it’s really hard to get it back.

Drusilla is back with another special #caturday message. 🖤

Please do not apply to Shortbox Comic Fair. Here's a thread:

i do think its funny how the city of chicago is actively advertising that PTO must be provided under the new ordinance meanwhile CERTAIN city employees still dont have pto...

if you want to see normally sclerotic do-nothing local governments suddenly snap into action, do some quietly beneficial tactical urbanism type thing like this and watch how quickly they race to remove it

The DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.

“What I loved about Senator Lindsey Graham is that we belonged to the same social class”

Elizabeth Warren@warren.senate.gov · 4w ago

I got to know Senator Lindsey Graham traveling with him abroad in Afghanistan and Ukraine. We had just met to renew the fight for our Big Tech bill. Even though we disagreed on much, he was always willing to negotiate, with humor and wit. My heart goes out to his loved ones.

I- Klobuchar you didn’t have to say all that “Friend” friend????? FRIEND?

sorry we can't afford to pay workers to make videogames, we threw all our money into a hole . no one likes or wants to use the hole and the hole also makes video games more expensive. the hole also drinks all our water

Sick. Awesome. Thanks for that. Really preferred this to funding a Blade game by the Dishonored people or people at Obsidian having jobs.

theres this thing where i notice a lot of people say that adult friendships tend to be "you dont talk to each other in months but when you do its like no time has passed" that I've never been able to wrap my head around-

if I see one more post describing Platner as "working class" I'm gonna scream. plz stop. he's a RICH GUY. he went to a BOARDING SCHOOL. jfc

Rev. Dr. Derek M Ballard PhD@derekmballard.bsky.social · 2mo ago

ok so I'm pretty sure it's an undeniable fact now that the vetting process for a nazi tattooed blackwater merc creep to run for public office is FAR less rigorous than the food stamp or TANF approval process for poor ppl. clownish.

There are jobs that do this, yall are working in the wrong fields 💅

Getting to go on a fun educational trip should be a regular thing at companies for mental health reasons

someone should hire me to draw their nature education books. thatd be neat

Was anyone going to mention that Tallamy is a neo-Malthusian antivaxxer? Combine that with his “the answer to everything is private property” and you end up with some *serious* libertarian vibes

if you have the capacity to be a ride-or-die fan of a politician in the year 2026, i don't think you should be allowed to drive a car

i do think its interesting when someone u were in a situationship with encouraged u to take a class theyre teaching (and call you the best student in the class) and then later they marry a student who attended the school they teach at like oh i sense a pattern. just interesting

glad congress isn’t alive to see this

There were two entities: America 250, a bipartisan organization chartered by Congress, and Freedom 250, a Trump-backed group. Companies intending to donate to America250 were supplied routing and account numbers that directed their funds to Freedom 250. wapo.st/4fe4Whs

honestly its all so hilarious but i kinda wish karma was a harsher mistress

wow this week is making me feel kinda insane and remembering a lot of things i haven't thought about in a long time

you have to know that this statement, by focusing so hard on Tillie Walden’s queer status (when Cleves is also queer) is painting an implication of homophobic motive. It’s really off topic to bring up Trump and it’s going to create severe misunderstandings . you must know this
