VICTORY! After over a decade, a federal court has declared that warrantless backdoor searches of US person’s communications collected under Section 702 of FISA is unconstitutional.
You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.
We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.
It's great, I love it.
New from 404 Media: hundreds of subreddits, including some of the most popular, are considering banning all links/content/screenshots from X/Twitter. r/NFL, r/hockey, r/baseball, r/nba, r/formula1, r/ComicBookMovies, r/MadeMeSmile, so many more. Some already have. www.404media.co/hundreds-of-...
I'm auditioning as the designer of the 2028 election campaign logo, what do you think?
Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.
I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.
I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.
No offense, Mark, but you have influence and power most of us don’t. Why don’t you speak up to those in DC you have connections with? Actions speak louder than words as you well know.
Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
Everybody look at me and think about how great I am.

Attempting to instill manners in the 4yo: “What’s the magic word?”
“You say ‘please’ is the magic word but it’s not. It’s ‘abracadabra’. Everybody knows that.”
Had a full blown panic attack today for the first time in more than a decade, so suck it haters, this bitch still has the body of a 20 year old
Honestly, I feel like there are more people with this account on Bsky at almost 20k followers than when I had 79k on X.
People are talking here.
The impact of an algo is insane.
Since joining here in August (and dumping all the other social media apps) I've noticed my blogging and reading has increased, much more time to do both now that I'm only on one social media space
Far more relaxed and less likely to snipe at someone as an automatic response
Went to an insect museum this week. Kinda miss being so close to the Natural History museum down in San Diego. Rad exhibits there.
Idk what's crazier, TikTok making an IDE or the IDE actually being pretty good. New video up now youtu.be/hqJDKTqCESE
Today, Winter learned about Ball-goina-circol. I love when kittens discover what this toy does. It blows their little minds when they figure out how it works and they just do this for hours.
ok if we were to add drafts… what are the tablestakes parts of that feature. i don’t remember how it worked on twitter
Looks like the Clips will probably lose this but man, Ty Lue is a hell of a ball coach. Just maximizes what he has it seems like every single night.
For patrons: I found my ancient, handwritten brainstorming notes for what would become the Noumena books. Gibberish ensued.

as an urbanist, of course I'm against filling the roads with private taxis for your burritos
we should be transporting burritos via light rail!
