- Is Sean Hannity now to the left of dem leadership on immigration reform?
- I don’t think I can name a single software product I use that was made better by the rush to incorporate AI. But I can name a bunch that have gotten worse
- Why does “minor” now mean <19? And I wish these articles would include data on the number of surgeries actually performed on “minors”. In 2019, of 151 breast reduction procedures performed on minors nationally, 97% were for cis boys. www.latimes.com/california/s...

- I don't really know how to interpret this other than the Republican party is now pro-fascism. 86% of Republicans support "Trump sending the National Guard and Marines to respond to the L.A. protests" Marines doing domestic law enforcement is illegal! How is it so popular? wapo.st/4e5mhr2
- Reposted by Kyan Lynch1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid! A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors."

- Let’s imagine that @brucespringsteen.net and Taylor Swift were putting together a protest/Americana album. Who else would you want making an appearance?
- I’ll go first: @tracychapmanonline.bsky.social
- Apparently April is Stress Awareness Month and good job everyone - I am very aware. #StressAwarenessMonth
- Wait, what about that plush tiny screw gig I was promised by Lutnick?
- CJ: Sam, I’m going to need you to remember I’m a very smart and sophisticated woman who graduate summa cum laude from Berkeley Sam: I *do* think you’re a very smart and sophisticated woman CJ: Good, because now I need you to explain tariffs to me as if I’m an idiot …
- Actually *being* trans is a less significant part of my personality than having once competed against a trans woman is for these "influencers". And yes, I played D1 (pre-transition) so I get elite competition. Being a former D1 player is also a less significant part of my personality ...
- And even if I did think trans women in sports was an unsolved problem (I don't b/c it isn't), it would still rank way behind things like sending innocent people to notoriously violent prisons in other countries and refusing to bring them back. For example.
- This might be the most terrifying thing I've ever read. Truly, this reads like the prequel to a dystopian novel set a few years later, in which all speech, movement, relationships, task completion, and interactions are tracked and used by a vindictive, malevolent govt. And yes, we were warned.
- NEW: 404 Media has seen parts of a Palantir-powered ICE database that allows for highly specific filtering of people, which allows for searches of students, people with tattoos, from specific countries, by visa status, etc: www.404media.co/inside-a-pow...
- How is MS Word still SO BAD when it comes to CV and other formats? Trying to update mine and it's like a comedy of errors. I delete one entry and suddenly have 2 new blank pages inserted. Try to add a bullet point and suddenly the margins are all over the place. So frustrating
- Way to go, Rochester
- Chris: CJ, why isn’t POTUS receiving the fallen US soldiers from Lithuania? CJ: The president doesn’t like to use our troops as political props Danny: But he’s ok with hosting a Saudi-backed golf tournament instead? CJ: ok, anyone but Danny Danny: C’mon CJ… CJ: That’s a full lid, everyone
- Donna: my cousin says it gets worse every time he looks at his portfolio Josh: tell him to stop looking Donna: but Joooosshh - Josh: I don’t know what to tell you, he should’ve voted for the other guy Donna: he did! Sam: Josh! Drudge has a pic of POTUS playing golf while the market crashes
- Toby: (bursts into the room knocking over a coat rack) on my goddamn day of jubilee! CJ: guys I’m getting killed out there. Did we really tariff penguins? Sam: well we didn’t *technically* tariff the penguins, just their exports CJ: (eyes) Sam: ok yeah, it’s not great Josh: he was golfing?!?
- So THAT'S why it's called Standard and POOR
- Thank you, @booker.senate.gov
- Jeepers
- I’d be fired if I started a group chat with a bunch of colleagues and sent protected patient information they didn’t need… and accidentally included the hospital’s HIPAA Compliance Officer. And I’d deserve it.
- This Signal story is a good illustration of what happens when the dog finally catches the car. Which is to say, nothing good.
- Avg life expectancy in 1776 was 38. Maybe that’s why the founding fathers didn’t anticipate that old dudes overstaying their welcome would ruin their whole project
- Reposted by Kyan LynchToday I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
