(And I'm sorry, that's horrifying)
Is there public record of that anywhere? A news story? Would love to add it to my research file
some of you need to make like travis kelce and engage with a tailor swiftly
If you wanna argue "the science is still out!", that's your right. But do you think it's bad for a fascist administration to threaten doctors with imprisonment if they disagree w you on that and provide care in line with current standard medical practice? Seems like something worth clarifying
I'm normally not this petty but I checked the X acct of a prominent journalist who writes critically about GAC for trans kids and also posts daily about how Trump is a fascist. He didn't post about this. Unclear if he thinks it's bad to criminally prosecute doctors for providing GAC. Curious.
WTF Annalee you just blew my mind

Incredibly thrilled for @lisahanawalt.bsky.social and Raphael's new show Long Story Short, out today on Netflix www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/a...
This flew by my radar this week, but massively important: the 5th circuit court of appeals ruled that the NLRB’s structure unconstitutional. It is a huge blow to “American workers who hope to organize their workplaces without fear of retaliation. It represents a partial negation of the New Deal…”

Happy release day to Sword of the Sea, the latest game from Giant Squid, with ethereal soundtrack by @awintory.bsky.social :) I once again had the privilege of recording woodwinds, including this beautiful Mayan triple harmony drone flute. It has a haunting voice that's all throughout the score 🪈
Really good and infuriating listen. As a former military spouse I can absolutely corroborate how they are targeted. My antisocial tendencies saved me from falling prey to them.

As someone who has lived my whole adult life in cities deemed “dangerous”—NYC, NOLA, and SF—I think a lot about how dense cities require patience, calm, and tolerance in the midst of social difference, which are of course exactly the civic virtues that the right resents being told to cultivate.
Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.
Trump has done a shocking amount of damage to unions already. If they don’t rethink the way they wield power, soon, we’ll be rebuilding the labor movement from the ground up. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/fragile-mo...
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area. (15 in Manhattan btw)

Not organizing just for a contract. Organizing for power.
Horrifying. Trump is trying to break the back of American labor. If the movement doesn't fight back with militancy and massive new organizing, we're through. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/u...
This is quite enlightening. Adam Conover always delivers, and this one is no exception. youtube.com/watch?v=v0yG...

China Mieville's Embassytown was prescient. Humans respond to LLMs just like the Ariekei in the novel react to corrupted Language -- the uncanny novelty of experiencing the form of thought without a thinker behind it addicts us and drives us insane.

Her salary is $78,000, so based on the first piece of information I'd say yes she is not being paid what she's worth.
The design of that big bug says it all … just looks nothing like a typical SNES game! And the 50s B-movie references - like an SNES game from an alternate timeline

I think about this absurd New York Times headline a lot. Since this was published, at least 5 major gender affirming care clinics in blue states have shut down.
Tbh I teared up recording it
esse video do @adamconover.net está muito bom. Precisa entender inglês galera www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBkF...
Really kind of you to say. <3 It was from the heart.
I think this is the most beautiful video I've ever seen an ally make. Thank you @adamconover.net youtu.be/hBkFd8gyd3Y?...

We posted this prematurely - took it vid down because I wanted to re-edit some clips of Twinks vs Dolls towards the end. Going back up later today!
I feel overpowered at every moment in this game. Literally nothing is a meaningful threat to me. Any object I turn my attention to is instantly pulverized. Which makes perfect sense because I am fucking DONKEY KONG
This game has the easiest bosses I’ve ever encountered. Turn into Super Saiyan DK, punch them to bits in 30 seconds, battle over. And I love every second of it
really nothing better than being able to entertain friends with food and drink
This game is one of the best platformers I’ve ever played. Truly exceptional
Agree entirely, I’m blown away
Proud to be a member of a union that fights for free speech, for working people, and against billionaire oligarchs control of the media.

The gleeful doxing of someone cheating in public is bad even if they are a CEO and even if they are a Coldplay fan. It's bad because this kind of thing is happening to random people on TikTok for such crimes as "sitting silently on a plane" or "being attractive" www.404media.co/the-astronom...
The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

Currently listening to the Lina Khan interview with @adamconover.net During the election, I remember thinking the most important thing the Biden administration was doing was at the FTC. Now it seems abundantly obvious that the work of the FTC was the actual reason Tech Oligarchs backed Trump
Inbox zero is the literal “fight” in the fight-or-flight response to emails. Reminds me of @adamconover.net's aggressive gamification of email handling: “No, *I* need an update from *YOU*! *YOU* circle back with *ME*, mfer! Ball’s in your court, a**hole!” (But yeah watch “Unmedicated” on Dropout.)
I’m beginning to understand why certain corners of the internet are so obsessed with this game
Superman is the story of an immigrant who grew up in Kansas, landed a low-paying job as a reporter in Metropolis, and still had time for a hobby because urban housing was affordable.

All of that said - had I seen this FAQ before writing the video, I would probably have adjusted some of our language accordingly out of respect for them, so I regret that I did not. Thanks for sending along!
I'll also say - I understand why the researchers might balk at words like "dumber", because they use language scientifically and precisely. But as a comedian, it's hard for me to read conclusions like these and not translate it into "dumber"! (We also used their exact language in the piece as well.)
Thanks for sending! For what it's worth, we started writing the video (and had already titled it) before this study/preprint came out - we tacked on a mention of it to the end in the final days before shooting. I also hadn't seen this FAQ - it's undated but it may have been published after we filmed
I love the joy that working people feel about seeing someone who cares about them potentially leading the city. Popular control of government is a good idea, and it's beautiful to see regular people find such hope in the possibility.
This was a really fun conversation with @adamconover.net, although obviously it will be more interesting to those who like hearing me do the Tri-State Dumb Guy Voice and care about the mayoral election. headgum.com/factually-wi...
