👀 Solar’s the cheapest form of energy and new batteries are cheaper than new gas plants.
Yet here in NY, corporate dem Hochul is pushing Trump math to pretend that high energy costs due to high gas costs and legacy maintenance issues are the climate law’s doing. 🤬
The legislature must stop her!
If someone is going to get queer bashed if they show up as their full selves in public. If someone is going to get COVID (and become futher disabled) if they show up in public. I mean-- what is it that you expect THEM to do? Maybe YOU are the one who needs to do something to make things accessible.
"“The victim who is able to articulate the situation of the victim has ceased to be a victim: he or she has become a threat.” -- James Baldwin
One of our main goals at The 51st is to make D.C. an easier place to live. One way to do that is by explaining stuff that is otherwise confusing, mystifying, or intentionally opaque! What do you want to know more about? What can we help you understand? Let us know!
It's always "trying to bring about the rapture" and never the part of the bible about eliminating all debts.
If they were really serious about biblical teachings all loans (including credit card debt) would be wiped at the end of seven years
I have seen a lot of cursed stuff in my time in academia but this is among the *most* cursed.
Grammarly is generating miniature LLMs based on academic work so that users can have their writing ‘reviewed’ by experts like David Abulafia, who died less than two months ago.
I've probably photographed Brad Lander more than any other elected in NYC because the dude shows up. He's everywhere, he's incredibly accessible, and he genuinely loves New Yorkers. You can literally go up and talk to him whenever he shows up. Go ahead, try it!
(I have NEVER seen Goldman ANYWHERE.)
Every time Goldman shows up to Federal Plaza it’s a big event. Every time Brad shows up it’s a Wednesday. They’re not the same and I wholeheartedly believe that the guy who just does this and has been doing it since for longer has his heart in the better place.
Goldman refused to endorse Mamdani, closed his Brooklyn office on 9th Street, presumably to insulate himself from constituents, and is just... never around. Yes, he's done better on civil rights this year. But Lander would be a MASSIVE trade up.
CNN mentions none of this, of course.
Now that he’s started a war, I’ve completely forgotten that he’s a pedophile.
Sup chat this is Slouching Towards Bethlehem with your boy The Rough Beast, and it looks like today’s stream could be a big one, as some of you might’ve already seen there are rumors going around social media that the hour has come round at last, so we’re gonna get right into it
A meme of Alysa Liu based on Da Share Zone reading: JUST WALK OUT work social thing movies home class dentist figure skating too fancy weed store cops it your quick friend ships IF IT SUCKS... HIT DA BRICKS!!! Real winners quit You can leave!! Da Gold Zone
I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

WOKE IS BACK BABY
MAKE OAKLAND CALIFORNIA THE US CAPITOL NOW!
NWS forecast that shows Brooklyn getting an unholy amount of snow on Sunday and Monday.
I am going to hunt down Punxsutawney Phil. I will find him and then I will grind his bones to make my bread.
Bitch better have my money
Bitch doesn’t see you in our invoice system
Bitch is wondering if you ever sent in a W-9?

So I kind of figured it’d be amazing to watch but man this really is different. She’s so relaxed. She’s visibly having so much fun. She’s not fighting for a medal here. She’s just playing her favorite game
So if you were getting around paywalls via archive dot today (or dot is, dot ph etc) uhhhhhh guess that's no longer an option
I'm a law guy, not a politics knower, but "Trump illegally taxed/stole $175 billion from Americans" seems like good messaging.
We also have to consider that LC covers a massive range of post-viral symptoms, but the image of LC is largely the Fatigue/Brain Fog types. But do you know anyone who didn’t get their sense of smell back? Suddenly developed heart palpitations? Seems weirdly sick all the time now? Guess what.
can confirm—and it stands in considerable contrast from the fact that people with long covid have build strong networks together in spite of this
"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology"
No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.
A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.
I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion
People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it
If the "I don't like politics" people in your life aren't horrified by surveillance pricing, they are part of the problem.
This is reason number eleventy-million why tech and business need to be regulated by public-minded, independent bodies with big teeth (when pigs fly, I know).
Getting long covid will make it much harder to do organizing or mutual aid work. If you want to preserve your ability to help, wear an n95 when you share air.
One of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is surrounded by what is very obviously paper cutouts of fairy pictures.
Another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy.
Yet another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. Once again a little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy.
The final Cottingley Fairy photo. This one is supposed to be maintained as real. Again, very clearly paper cutouts. If you go look at the wikipedia page about it you can even see the original drawing from the book they were from.
Whenever people gush over AI I'm going to think about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being utterly convinced that he'd discovered real scientific evidence of real fairies because he saw these pictures
the people who spread the “female brains are bad at math and spatial reasoning” lies should be tried at the Hague
I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
With Congress preparing another vote on the SAVE Act, advocates warn its documentation requirements could make registering to vote more difficult for millions of women—threatening both access to the ballot and progress toward gender parity in political power.
I'm stoked that the Humble Bundle of my and @annaleen.bsky.social's books from Tor has raised nearly $5000 for the TGI Justice Project and Miss Major/Alexander Lee Black Trans Cultural Center.

Let me tell you about when I went to the TGIJP's anniversary party
