They’re live-streaming the execution of the person they think they can get away with doing that to first. It’s a test. If they can do that, they’ll expand the margins of permission.

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

A lot of people are struggling right now. Including your queer and trans fam, and your artists friends, and the people who are both. The mental health pressures are real and the consequences are potentially devastating. Check on your people. Let them know how much you love having them around.

I guess I'm going to be that jerk and ask . . . how did a paper that makes really big claims about preprints while presenting no data in support of the claims get past peer review? And isn't it more than a little ironic for such a paper to be a complaint about preprints? 🔭🧪 arxiv.org/abs/2609.35787

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Tuesday past I saw my doctor for a check of my medications & supplements. He discontinued one medicine then asked questions about my eating. That produced a printed diet which he recommended, a 'longevity' diet to replace mine. When does longevity kick in? I'm 94.

La neutralité journalistique n'existe pas.
Texte complet : 

Ce qu’il vient de se passer en Allemagne est un signal clair : l’extrême droite avance, avec un programme raciste décomplexé , climatosceptique, anti sciences, etc.

Par conséquent, être incapable de dire clairement que l’extrême droite est un danger, c’est grave.

C’est valable pour certains médias « écolos », pour certaines ONG, associations etc. Ne soyez pas irresponsables et dites clairement les termes. Sinon assumez clairement de faire partie du problème.

Chez Bon Pote, notre ligne est claire et n'a pas bougé depuis le début : un média anticapitaliste et contre toute forme de racisme. La neutralité journalistique n'existe pas : nous sommes contre l'extrême droite parce que ce serait un cauchemar pour l'écologie, les humains, les animaux, et plus globalement pour la démocratie de notre pays.

A l'avenir, avant de soutenir un média ou une asso, demandez-leur de clarifier leur position sur l'extrême droite. Vous aurez quelques surprises…
