I know you guys are interested in the non-ass-wiping scenario but I am still stuck on him fantasizing about shitting in the middle of a dinner party.

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

I HAVE BEEN SUBSIDIZING WALMART AND AMAZON STARVING THEIR EMPLOYEES FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

George Santos is such an icon for blatantly doing all the shit politicians do with 0 consideration of trying to cover any of it up

Mother Jones@motherjones.com · 2d ago

George Santos has been fined $35,000 for attempting to place bets on his own attendance at the State of the Union in February. He’s also been banned from the prediction-market platform Kalshi for 3 years.

Kinda weird to think about how much more illiterate our society will be in 20 years unless we dramatically alter course.

The chemists at my University are having a (chemical) meltdown because someone thought it would be a good idea to move the chemical storeroom out of their building to another building on the other side of campus. I love drama that does not involve me & one side is very clearly in the wrong.

To the person setting off fireworks in August for no reason: eat shit!

I think I'm going to take a bit of a bluesky break. I think I need a whole media break but that seems risky re: outbreaks, fall of democracy, racism, ICE etc. So seeeee you guys in a few weeks or something.

In my book, I talk about how we tend to act like the only worthwhile activism is the kind that is "successful" and even use occupy as an example of a so-called "failed" social movement to highlight that epistemic activism is a process that benefits from many modes of activism (including art!)

Anyone who thinks Occupy was a failure has really not grappled with what wouldn't have been politically possible without it. Elizabeth Warren is my Senator, for example.

The fact that this image is not of Matt Damon but of his lil ripped lady stunt double is 🤌

‘THE ODYSSEY’ is now tracking to pass $1 billion worldwide in its box office run. It is expected to become Christopher Nolan's highest grossing film ever.

hey remember when we could eat uncooked vegetables

I know you guys hate TSA or whatever but this is clearly a way to get rid of union jobs (regular TSA agents are under a union... even if Trump and Noem tried to undercut it) and a money grab. The need for screening won't change, it's part of the regulations now. But now it will be for profit.

Three airports plan to ditch TSA amid push for private security

Me blacking out in a lecture trying to explain the overlap between life expectancy at 75 vs potential life years at 75 and how they are calculated to medical students: You know what, it is just a way of standardizing mortality data in a way to cross compare, why am I explaining this to you. Lol.

Actually, it's only a retraction if it's from the rétractation region of France, if not, it's just LaCroix

Shahan Ali Memon@shahanmemon.bsky.social · 2w ago

Btw, the paper used as example here is our recent paper "Are Widely Known Findings Easier to Retract?" now published in @philscijournal.bsky.social Check it out here: www.cambridge.org/core/journal... bsky.app/profile/cail...

I do not want you guys to buy my book from Amazon* but it's very weird to see my book on Amazon. upcolorado.com/university-o... (TABL26 for 40% off) *obviously you can buy it from wherever works for you!

Our book isnt even out and we are getting these. Clearly an AI summary of the copy on the book. So lame

Since A Second Sight came out I've received about 2-3 of these scam emails a week. They are not only profoundly annoying but obviously prey on author's passions and attachment to their work. In some cases they impersonate real people at legit organizations.

Still thinking about how students during COVID figured out various faculty were married because they were recognizing the same pets appearing on zoom.

3 people from UW have died in 2 weeks and when I say I am anxious.

Ok I saw the Odyssey and like the cyclops part has me messed uppp.

The lack of care from you all is astounding. I could have died.

Maybe I am not resilient, I say after getting food poisoning/a stomach bug for the 4th time in 3 years

1. In an incredible new landmark review, the Health Council of the Netherlands has declared that gender-affirming care for trans youth works, reducing wait times is "morally urgent," and regret is rare. It is the latest of many Euro countries to advance care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Landmark Official Dutch Review Recommends Trans Youth Care, Call For Expanding Treatment

The review finds that wait times must be shortened, that few people detransition, and that trans youth care has enormous benefits.

As a parent who never posts my child, because of issues of his privacy and consent, this thought is pretty violating.

The Guardian@theguardian.com · 2w ago

Meta’s smartglasses mean any child can be covertly filmed. In the age of AI, how do we tackle that risk?

Every other month I'm like, wow we have enough papers on what/how clinicians should ask re: sex and gender and then you see the system doing dumb stuff like this and you go, idk actually we need a 30th paper on this.

Erika R. Shira, LMHC, MT-BC@erikashira.com · 5mo ago

So I've finally gotten someone to respond. They had a workaround for the broken code. But apparently to take Masshealth you must disclose your "biological gender." That's...not a thing. And pretty sure it violates MA laws as we can self-select three legal sexes. @massago.bsky.social @masstpc.org

I know we are rightfully focused on the batshit sex questions but like them asking do you look a little brown is also insane

I puked last night and couldn't sleep and am queasy today send help.

Pathologic 2

Actual faculty getting silenced and fired for their work from the right, and the big issue for a whole bunch of the commentariat is whether there is political discrimination against imagined faculty.
