People have no idea what it's like to be poorer than they are. They THINK they know, but until they've lived that life they think they'd have to fall a very long way (on drugs and bad decisions) to be homeless. No, it's like a one inch fall. Once you know that, you can't unknow it and you have PTSD.

Very excited to finally have this out in the world! The first paper from my PhD (and my first first-author publication) makes the case for a new entrant to the world of long-lived animal models: Heliconius butterflies. Out now in @natcomms.nature.com www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/10)

While a lack of anonymity doesn't stop them, I'm so glad these billionaires are finally getting outed as obsessive and hateful little weirdos.
Queen_Potato@queenpotato.bsky.social · 2mo agoAnd there you have it. The anti trans campaign in Maine was never some "grassroots movement." It was bankrolled by billionaire Richard Uihlein, who poured over $800,000 into targeting trans kids over sports and bathrooms.
These fucking demons told me that my neighbor wanted to eat my dog and now they want to talk about social trust evaporating
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2mo agoFerguson: "Just this weekend, I was shopping at a big home improvement store to buy a drill. I had to hit a call button and wait 15 minutes for an associate to unlock a padlock. Social trust has evaporated and people are taking advantage of it, and the same is true of our federal benefit programs."
im fucking enraged lmao these ai companies offering shortform video creators $40-$50k just to make one (1) nice post about them, telling them they don't have to disclose that it's paid-- lifechanging $$ for most ppl & they know it. most creatives hanging on by a thread & they know it.
Keeping this false narrative alive is a corruption of public office. Audits and lawsuits have already answered this question.

was searching for something sciencey in the nyt archives and found a form of eugenics i'd never even heard of www.nytimes.com/1927/03/27/a...
this is the secondary essence of Reacher, besides Being Large Reacher arrives, Reacher is Large at the bad men who run the town, Reacher leaves may the show continue forever
Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 3mo agoA kind of tv show they don’t make anymore is “Guy Comes to Town, Then Leaves.” Kung Fu, Incredible Hulk, Highway to Heaven, things of that nature. We need more Poker Face, that’s all we have left.
baby i’m the boss of my parents haha and there is nothing you can do about it
ELON MUSK: every woman should have at least two of my children. well, every white woman. only native-born white people and billionaire white South Africans should be able to vote. let's drown trans people. EZRA KLEIN: guy's just monomaniacally focused on accelerating the EV revolution. admirable.
how it feels to report to Census Canada that someone in your household said Bonjour at the airport this year
I've said it before, I'll say it again: Justice Jackson was easily President Biden's best appointment. She already counts among the few truly outstanding justices in my lifetime. And this tweet is exactly right.
Bill@bill-of-lefts.bsky.social · 3mo agoThey have created this entire mythology around Justice Jackson being stupid, where her stupidity is refusing to accept the ascendant conservative legal norms

I'm fairly certain this is illegal under election law, right?
James O'Malley@jamesomalley.co.uk · 3mo agoThis is grotesque on multiple levels.
I've published a critique of the recent Finnish study which alleged that gender-affirming care worsens psych needs: doi.org/10.1111/apa....
Learned from my 101-year-old grandfather that one problem of being a centenarian is that airlines apparently only have a 2-digit age variable, meaning that every time he shows up at the airport, the data in the system at the check-in counter thinks he's a 1-year-old unaccompanied child.
I'm sorry, but if your kid is a fan of Andrew Tate you are failing big time as a parent. That whole Kimberly Guilfoyle marriage thing is making a lot more sense now.
The Serfs (youtube.com/theserfstv)@theserfstv.bsky.social · 3mo agoGavin Newsome has said his son is a fan of Charlie Kirk Andrew Tate and now Clavicular. You should probably stop running for office and spend time with your son
here's the Trump DOJ's strategy: • pretend SPLC using paid informants to dismantle hate groups is "money laundering" • but it isn't ML unless it used proceeds from a crime, which is why DOJ also has to... • pretend using donor money to dismantle hate groups = defrauding donors
