For those who sneer at this:
It doesn't fucking /matter/ if lawsuits like this are meritless. It doesn't matter if it'll get dismissed.

Missouri's AG Andrew Bailey is suing Starbucks, arguing that its workforce is too "female" and "non-white" and as a result Missouri consumers “pay higher prices and wait longer for goods and services" because its workforce is "less qualified"
This is a brazenly racist and sexist lawsuit.

Spent this Valentine’s Day with @vincip.bsky.social standing up for science! I’m very grateful that she puts up with my shenanigans - today this included designing stickers with a QR code to contact reps about the current attacks on scientific research.

Come early for *limited edition* shiny stickers (the rest are plain and the design will be improved on, so this is your one chance!)

In a nervous oversight, my dog (and the inspiration for my defense date) was the only one who had her own acknowledgements slide.

this is what long-time Elon watchers call "The Realization": when Elon stumbles into your area of expertise, and you realize everyone just gives the guy the benefit of the doubt because he talks about complicated things people don't pay attention to
I’ve been thinking about how monumentally stupid the Elon video game cheating thing is and I think it comes back to this post
there aren’t a ton of people who work in cars, or rockets, or even software
but everyone - everyone! - understands cheating at video games
