I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

my job mostly involves googling science things all day, and it's been terrible to see how much worse that's become over the last few years. but not being able to trust government websites for basic science information really takes things to a new low

We're at the next stag of the authors' lawsuit against Anthropic.

Check the link below to see which of your books they raided and then click through to file a claim.

Four of mine were in there.

The ocean has been hoarding heat. Now it is building up a massive 'burp.'
Even if humans cut emissions enough to reduce global temperatures, new research shows the Southern Ocean could kick warming back into gear.

OpenAI is requesting financial support from the government for its expansion, per Bloomberg.

OpenAI wants taxpayers to guarantee its debt. They’re asking the government to guarantee loans like a co-signer).

When private companies start asking for public funds, it’s a sign the bubble will pop.

As if it wasn't 'bad enough' already, climate models underestimate future Ocean Heat Uptake, because them get present-day Antarctic sea-ice wrong.

One more reason why climate change will be worse than models project..

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options:

-Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others)
-"It's your job to be informed"
-"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?"
-"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often"
-"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"
Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

This Anthropic settlement is weird bc yeah for sure pay up, but also if they’d asked to purchase the rights to use my books for their trash I would have said no, so doing it anyway and then paying in the form of a settlement is still slimy backdoor shit

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens?

You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate?

Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

I honestly think it's just that he doesn't talk down to people. His great innovation is to not treat the voters like contemptible idiots he has to deceive.
Zohran Mamdani is a trained performer who has an extremely disciplined and laser-focused ability to recite on-message talking points in response to any question, and yet voters overwhelming praise him as being especially "authentic" compared to other politicians. There's a lesson here!

Klippenstein: The memo says it considers as indicators things like anti-Christian sentiment, anti-government views, and anti-traditional family positions.

These are descriptors that would cover millions and millions of people in this country.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today.

The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly.

We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.
