Timeline Cleanse: Please enjoy this photo of a praying mantis that was sitting on top of my car windshield, but the angling and lighting were so weird it looks like a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field in Iowa.
What appears to be a giant praying mantis wandering a corn field is actually a normal sized praying mantis that's actually sitting on my windshield

Offit told me that Kennedy is a "liar" and a
"terrible human being." I asked him to explain. "It doesn't matter what I say," Offit said. "He thinks the medical journals are in the pocket of the industry, he thinks that the government is in the pocket of the industry, he thinks I'm in the pocket of industry, and he's wrong." Offit continued: "If he has data showing he's right, then fucking publish it. He can't, because he doesn't have those data."
I asked Offit if he saw a way to reverse the public's rising distrust in science. "I don't think there is any way to regain that trust other than have the viruses do the education, and the bacteria do the education, and then people will realize they paid way too high a cost," he said.

The Christian persecution bullshit is so irritating because no one gives a shit who you worship until you start telling other people who they have to worship, too. Gee, I resent you telling me what I can or cannot do based upon shit I don't believe in. Who'd have seen that coming.

The advice on protests isn’t because we expect the protests to do anything illegal. It is because we expect the cops (writ broadly) to do so.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

I can’t find the lie in this.
Venom is an example of a villain who evolved into a hero because he was popular with readers and writers decided to rehabilitate him. By contrast, Magneto evolved into a hero because every decade since Reagan it's harder and harder to pretend he's wrong

Saying this again: there is a scammer out there targeting newbie authors, claiming I'm one of their clients. They use different names, and I'm already pursuing legal action. But I have never worked with a PR company, editing service, or book packager, so anybody saying so is lying, period full stop.

Hey @ultimateguard.bsky.social are the marginals on these boxes post-licencing worth directly funding anti-trans policy? Or do you just generally hate queer people? Asking for my audience, & those of my other creator friends xoxo
LGBTQ+ nation article headline:.
"J.K. Rowling is personally funding attacks on trans women’s rights with her Harry Potter money"

Subheading:
Her fund has been bankrolling anti-trans activism for a year now.Article body: "I looked into all options and a private fund is the most efficient, streamlined way for me to do this,” she wrote in a May 24 post. “Lots of people are offering to contribute, which I truly appreciate, but there are many other women’s rights orgs that could do with the money, so donate away, just not to me!”

According to its website, JKRWF “offers legal funding support to individuals and organisations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces.” Its goal is to bankroll cases that will “make legal precedents” and “force policy change.”

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

I don't understand how parents can support harm to *anyone's* children, ever. How that does not become an absolute, uncrossable line the second you hold a child in your arms and recognize that vulnerability and dire responsibility (if not before). How you don't generalize that protectiveness.
