Nolan Wells was a beloved son, student-athlete, & a Black boy who deserved to grow old. Though true justice would mean Nolan would be alive today, we’re pushing for the accountability his family deserves. I grieve for his loved ones & join their demands for an independent investigation.

Recently, the WH abruptly fired 22 members of the National Science Board, an entity that oversees the NSF. This group operates w/o partisan interference. 1500 members of NASME penned an open letter. We cannot afford to watch our science entities get hijacked by MAGA. 🧪 archive.today/6mCrG #SaveNSB

Today, a lot of people will be talking about the manifesto that Palantir released. In addition to pouring over what those words mean, I invite you to ground the conversation in what Palantir has already done. Its work with Israel and ICE show us exactly what it stands for.
Thinking about the 62 million views, and then thinking about how marital rape was only made illegal in all 50 US states in the summer of 1993. I can remember 1993. I can remember what was on the radio at the time. I had just been in my first movie. It was not so long ago.
I'm deep down the rabbit hole on FROGFISH, 60 species of anglerfish in family Antennariidae. They are deeply, utterly WEIRD & MARVELOUS. Most walk on modified fins. Others use jet propulsion. Some are capable of air-breathing. Some are "hairy", others blend perfectly in sargassum.
Weeks: “To tell us that we should reconstitute ourselves seems a hard road to follow. What’s kinder is to say: We are who we are. What we want to do is to change the rules of the game so that we can become otherwise over time. It’s about embracing the politics that would destroy you as a subject.”

She left her agent because he was in the Epstein files, and just like that, there’s a bot-driven smear campaign. You fell for it with Amber Heard and Blake Lively, stop fucking falling for it.

🧵 Trump administration AI policy is widely described as deregulatory. This description is misleading. What's happening is not the absence of governance but its rearrangement--intensive state intervention operating through mechanisms we don't typically call regulation. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
The mirage of AI deregulation
One of the most interventionist approaches to technology governance in the United States in a generation has cloaked itself in the language of deregulation. In early December 2025, President Donald Tr...

This interview with the great @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social was a "wow" moment for me. Thanks, New York Times and David Marchese. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/07/m... I couldn't help noticing the question that seemed the most Times-like to me.
The New York Times published an extraordinary study of the role of billionaires in politics earlier this week, that naturally got lost in everything that is going on, including in Iran. Here is a gift link to the article, and a few select quotes: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

There are many evidence-backed strategies for managing ADHD including cognitive behavior therapy with a trained professional & lots of free resources. LLMs are not one of them LLMs are human constructions, therefore incapable of transcending human capabilities & their output is 💩 🗑️
Fluffyscruff expert, EITCA certified@bloodfaggot.bsky.social · 5mo agoI'm actually all for using LLMs as personal therapists. Unlike humans, they are not biased. You will not be judged for your appearance, age, background, gender and overall how you are perceived physically. An LLM won't take away your autonomy. LLM will never be as bad as a narcissistic shrink
The FBI claimed Kash Patel didn't spend $75,000 in taxpayer funds to fly on a private jet to watch the Olympics. Today, Patel was spotted partying in Team USA's locker room.
It’s a plan for a plan with a speculative drafty draft budget from imaginary sources. Similarly, the district says it’s an “equity NOT budgetary driven process” but it is and isn’t about money that we don’t have but might get from various philanthropy & govt sources 🤦♀️

(1/11) If you live in NY, you’ve probably started seeing a new warning: “THIS PRICE WAS SET BY AN ALGORITHM USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA.” This mandatory disclosure went into effect late last year, and it’s the first attempt by a US state to grapple with a new generation of surveillance pricing.
