'nothing is sexier than sustainable farming' 20s
Yes, this is 100% about censorship in general, and the current anti-sexual weirdness that’s going on. But a paragraph near the end of the article is especially telling… ASMR is primarily created by women. Women doing anything will always be perceived by some as inherently sexual (excerpt in comms)
a bunch of popular ASMR artists lost their channels forever this week, after YouTube cited them for violating terms against "sexually gratifying" content: www.404media.co/youtube-asmr...
Heroes indeed. But there are villains too: the fossil fuel companies that knew where their products would take us and are still doing all they can to keep us hooked.

first part of being good at something is being really bad unfortunately

Here's a meme: I want uglier games that are harder to understand made by people who've never read a TTRPG, and I'm not kidding. I have written a manifesto against understanding. Against bullet points. Against it all. www.patreon.com/posts/152873...
Bug people: This construction vehicle in my neighborhood was reminding me of something, and I thought it was some insect's proboscis, but maybe it was dragonflies mating? Please weigh in. 🧪
This is my dog Gertrude. Idk what breed she is but I think she's got a bit of those fucked up ones in her like Pugs or English Bulldogs
Although CRISPR–Cas first made a splash in gene editing, scientists now use it to precisely target epigenetic editors to any DNA sequence. Nature reports on companies exploring epigenetic-editing technology and a handful of early-stage clinical trials. 🧬🧪
Epigenetic editing makes its mark
Researchers are rewriting the chemical tags on DNA and chromatin to tune gene expression.

No, they used the yeast naturally present on the grapes, no control. Every year and even within batches could be radically different. Louis Pasteur was tasked with figuring it out by the Fernch govt and he discovers yeast is what ferments the wine and that leads to standardized strains in the 1890s.
part of the reason i’m so defensive of mamdani is that he’s actually an example of what a good and competent and effective politician looks like and he really should be the standard by which we judge politicians and i hate how often the criticism of him seems to flatten him with his lessers

this is me, I am the friend and now I’ve got Katie watching She-Ra 😎
over the past week i've watched a friend progressively get more and more hyped about finally watching she-ra, so i guess i should watch that too???? she went from "these animated lesbians got me feeling feelings" to minutes-long voice notes screaming about the universe-saving power of homosexuality.

I was speaking with Mitch McConnell by phone for twenty minutes when he said, "hey, what's Lindsay Graham doing here?"
Lindsay Graham died before we knew for certain if Mitch McConnell is dead. I love that we have so many geriatric senators that multiple just die off at once. Jesus Christ, just fucking retire and die on the fucking beach somewhere instead of making us all miserable.
If you have time to browse bluesky this weekend, you have time to submit your comment on the proposed OMB rule to politicize science funding agencies. This one is important. Here's my comment if some inspiration will help. 🧪 scienceforeveryone.science/submit-your-...
Submit your OMB comment this weekend.
This one is important. It's due on Monday.

the thing about trying your best is that sometimes your best fucking sucks, but crucially, trying your best entails doing right by the people you failed via learning everything you can from those failings, regardless of whether they stay in your life. important to take lessons however they come imo.
I actually don’t care what the founding fathers would say about the present and I don’t think you should either
