Calling AI Super Intelligence is dumb. I think we should start calling it Four Seasons Total Intelligence.

Russell Vought cannot be given the power to decide what science is funded. He knows nothing about science; in fact, he seems to hate it and everyone who does it. And he has all of the worst characteristics of humanity. The Republican Congress is a fucking disease.

Russel Vought will reportedly be given veto power over all NIH grants
Pending move comes over the objections of the NIH director.

you think it's a coincidence that the most evil and corrupt people alive want you to believe that trans people are the real problem?

China Miéville On The “Completely Defining” Book It Took 20 Years To Write | Defector

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
