The far-right has always been about protecting girls and women... Unfortunately, it's also always been about protecting "our" girls... That is... The ones they feel they own and are entitled to.

@gurpreetnarwan.bsky.social if you're going to write an article about adhd... At least get it right: it's a neurological condition; not a mental one. Awful job, @skynewsrss.bsky.social!

The most frustrating thing about the #LocalElections2025 is that I've no doubt that @teamlabouruk.bsky.social will take ALL of the wrong lessons from this and tact further right wards.

I swear if I hear one more person talk about "common sense", I'm going to throw something at their head. (This is in response to the recent news regarding Ice Hockey England's decision on the participation of trans players)

The Trump administration can't understand the difference between "transgenic" and "transgender".... We're all going to be wiped out by a bunch of fucking idiots, aren't we?

Having lived in Germany for the last 3 years, I can easily sum up what Keir Starmer needs to do: Actually do something and abandon neo-liberalism. Simple

Has anyone else's Facebook timeline become a cesspit of far-right material lately? Or is it just me?

Welp, it's finally happened! I hit "reply all" in response to an email to my entire research group 🥲

It's crazy how much the production quality of music has changed since I was a teenager. I'm seeing Trivium & BFMV on Friday on their Poisoned Ascendency tour... Those albums are 20 years old. I love those albums to this day, but the difference between them and recent releases is night & day!

I'm proud to be a scientist, but at which point can I just have my own private lab without having to deal with people? 😅

As a scientist, one thing that angers me is when there are needlessly dragged out meetings that could have been emails. I think it often surprises people when I try to ensure that meetings I chair run exceptionally short and to the point.

On a serious note, how does one engage with people from rural communities when it comes to anti-intellectualism and anti-science stances? It's anecdotal, but it's difficult to engage when facts are dismissed as "opinions" and "arrogance".

Deeply, deeply frustrating that my hometown have co-opted a staunch anti-vaxxer and conspiracy theorist as a councillor. That's it... That's the post.

"That threat... remains... we also see acts of extreme violence... young men in their bedroom... desperate for notoriety... " Just call it for what it is, Keir... Male entitlement and misogyny. www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...

At first I saw a photo and thought someone had taken it out of context... No, no, they did not.

“I know you are just said you are what am I then? Ner ner.” Elon Musk is what happens when a 12 year old still gets whatever he wants despite being an irritating little shit.

Fact checking is not censorship. It's an essential public service. Disinformation kills. Period.

Now they're going after VPNs. *Pay attention* to what's happening in places like Turkey, India, Russia and China — and how tech companies are complying, or not, with state surveillance. As we've seen in the past month, they'll do the same when prompted here.

Headline from PCMag:

Apple, Google Pull 6 VPN Apps From App Stores in India

Subhed
Indian law now requires VPN apps to maintain customers’ names, email addresses, IP addresses, and transaction histories for five years.

Welp, might as well jump on this trend... Let's be mutuals if, you love... - Horror - Sci-fi - Video games - History - Left-wing Politics - Ice hockey - Metal, dubstep or dnb - Cooking - Animation - D&D - Microbiology! And, especially if you're an immigrant in Germany! #Promosky

I love it when Nature hides a 5 year old paper behind a pay wall that's completely inaccessible to my Birmingham or Charité credentials! It's like it's sending me on a side quest to access the paper!
