RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.

Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research

President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

"you're unhappy because you spend too much time on your phone" speak for yourself i'm posting this shit from desktop like a true lunatic

you’re living in it, baby

xAI has disabled Grok, deleted a slew of its antisemitic and neo-Nazi posts, posted a statement, and are evidently rolling back the prompt that made it identify as "MechaHitler," but this new low for Elon Musk's chatbot will live in internet infamy:

Elon Musk's Grok Chatbot Goes Full Nazi, Calls Itself 'MechaHitler'

Elon Musk's Grok chatbot has unleashed a slew of antisemitic commentary and praised Hitler after apparent change allowed to be 'politically incorrect'

don't think that's going to work

For more than a week, conservative media and politicians have worked themselves into a frenzy over a spectacle manufactured by a fencer who refused to compete against a 19-year-old trans woman. Here is the target of that hate campaign, finally, in her own words.

'My Entire Life Is Political': Trans Fencer Attacked by Conservative Outrage Machine Speaks Out

Red Sullivan, a fencer targeted by the anti-trans outrage machine after an opponent refused to duel her, says it was all a media stunt from the start.

In his first big flex of power on Capitol Hill, Elon Musk shitposted a bunch of misinformation to kill a bipartisan spending bill that would have averted a government shutdown, threatened reps supporting it, and demanded Congress stop working until Trump is in office. Awesome stuff

Musk Kills Government Funding Deal, Demands Shutdown Until Trump Is Sworn In

Elon Musk went on a posting spree on X to block a congressional funding bill, saying the government should shut down until Trump becomes president.

oh well, onward and upward

arguably funnier than a permanent ban

RIP big dog

My privilege to share some lovely stories from the science community about what Sam Neill's timeless performance as Dr. Alan Grant in Jurassic Park meant to them—and why it will continue to inspire kids to chase their own discoveries for years to come.

Sam Neill Inspired a Generation of Scientists

The actor, who died at age 78 on Monday, embodied a passionate approach to research and positive masculinity in his role as paleontologist Alan Grant in the 1993 blockbuster Jurassic Park.

i must not quote-skeet bad content. engagement is the account-killer. dunking is the little-death that brings total obliteration. i will face the bait. i will permit it to pass over me and through me. and when it has gone past i will mute. only my feed will remain

had the idea of collecting the most ominous or threatening images of MrBeast but fear nothing can top this

Trump goons discovering that "the Epstein files" are a MacGuffin they made up themselves and now have to blame each other for supposedly withholding is a marvelous development

well well well look who’s afraid of memes now

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social

CNN: DHS officials have come to FEMA staff and told them to limit the use of the word ice…they are worried that by posting something like, watch out for the ice, that it's going to become a meme….

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.

He Grew Obsessed With an AI Chatbot. Then He Vanished in the Ozarks

Jon Ganz committed a terrible crime in his youth, but he survived prison, fell in love, and started over. His new life unraveled in a way nobody could have predicted.

this remains the greatest synopsis of incel culture one could ever ask for

may have to update my banner

if you ask a white person how it’s going and they say “it’s going,” they are having a rough time. but if they answer “livin’ the dream,” they need an immediate mental health intervention

do you know how stupid you have to be to get community noted with a link to project gutenberg

It's so funny that even Florida, after five days of Andrew Tate living there, is like "you're going to jail buddy"

Andrew Tate and Brother Tristan Are Under Criminal Investigation in Florida: Attorney General

Andrew Tate and brother Tristan are the target of a criminal probe, according to Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier.

very proud to have pitched this headline lol

Man Afraid to Ride Subway Named Head of NASA

Trump has tapped Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy as NASA administrator.

strong contender for the funniest sentence of this entire election
