Women are more likely to defend other women in public than any of the guys who swear they wouldn’t stand it for a minute if it were *their* wives.
Once I was dealing with harassment from a colleague and a prominent baseball player you all know pulled me aside and said he couldn’t believe it because if someone did that to his wife he’s beat his ass.

I’ve thought about that comment a lot over the years!
I want to ask those men what they would do if someone said those things to their wives, but I have a feeling we’ve already seen how they’d react.

I am a little tired of being yelled at for this but apparently not tired about: heroin addiction is not RFK’s problem. He’s a sociopath. Most addicts aren’t. Honestly, walk into an NA meeting, grab the first person with a few years to be head of HHS and they’d probably do a better job than Bobby.
This is what happens when you put a privileged, 14 year heroin addict in charge of health. Duh

Interviewer: “What do you say to trans kids who are starting their transition?”

People will die, and are currently dying, because RFK was granted one of the most powerful megaphones in the country. Two people who could have thrown barriers in front of his climb decided not to; there's a sex scandal here but it is not the biggest scandal.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a heteromultivalent nanogel capable of killing some of the most dangerous bacteria known to medicine- with over 99.9% effectiveness against P. aeruginosa. It also showed strong antibacterial effects against other major threats, including E. coli and MRSA.

When I moved here, people sometimes let slip that they saw a fresh immigrant with a tangled Irish name as more American than Asian-Americans born and raised here.

The mildest version was “But why can’t *you * get a Green Card?” while Desi or Korean-American friends got “Where are you really from?”
lol soon they’ll be deporting JD Vance’s wife

It hit me when I was looking up Nigella Lawson recipes last night.

Those weren’t @nigella.bsky.social recipes. I had to dig out her books to check.
One of the big tidal forces of the coming years is that the baseline reliability of things you see on a screen is going to decline.

I think this has not been adequately metabolized.

This is one version, but there are a bunch of them.
NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Let’s make hi-viz bike jackets that can Airdrop alerts to the approaching drivers who are looking at their phones.
Drivers are never not at it.

This guy was texting on his phone and managed to forget to turn. He ended up driving straight into the segregated cycle-lane.

But hey, remember folks, dress in head-to-toe HiViz when out walking or cycling.

More and more, I want to hear about all the female scientists, actors, researchers, journalists, doctors, athletes, cooks, engineers, filmmakers, policymakers, comedians, etc whose careers were derailed by all the #metoo *crimes.*

Who have we lost? What work have we lost?
Again, shout out to @variety.com writer Rebecca Rubin for mentioning it within the first paragraphs of their article.

The news sources, like @deadline.com which fail to mention this in their articles, are the ones to avoid

Current perimenopause symptom is being mad my female friends are texting me but not my partner about Thanksgiving menus, get-togethers, and play dates.

“Surely the men have the menu all figured out?”

In the all-gender chats, the dads are smiling and laughing, just out of the frame.
