Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

President Obama served food at soup kitchens on Thanksgiving.

The orange felon shares staged propaganda photos of himself with troops from 2019 on Thanksgiving because he’s a 5-time draft dodging traitor lying criminal.

How far we’ve fallen.

To be clear, the only reason the orange felon and fascist republicans are suddenly in support of releasing the Epstein Files is because bribe for hire Pam Bondi and lunatic Kash Patel spent months scrubbing all damaging info about him. The cover up is what they were waiting for.

Donald Trump Snaps at Female Reporter Who Asks About Epstein Files: 'Quiet Piggy' Donald Trump Says 'Quiet Piggy' to Female Reporter Asking About Epstein Files

Why did it take several days for Trump’s “Quiet, Piggy” insult of a female reporter to gain traction in news coverage? Because it happened on a Friday night, when many journalists had started their weekend. And because, sadly, he's trained the media to think accepting his insults is part of the job.

What a fucking ass. A fucking coward. A fucking horrible human being he is.

Why the fuck didn’t any other reporter on Air Force One that night call Trump out for his disgusting remark? Why the fuck didn’t any other reporter on Air Force One defend this female reporter? And why the fuck did it take 72 hours to hear about Trump’s disgusting & cowardly insult?

WATCH: Trump Is the Real Pig Spread this far and wide. Please.

If I was on Air Force One, and I heard Trump address a female reporter as “piggy,” I’d have gotten in his face and demanded he apologize to her. Why did no one say anything to Trump? I’m pissed off about this. Have a watch.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...

Any man who calls a woman “piggy” is a fucking pig. Any man in a position of power who calls a woman “piggy” is a cowardly, misogynistic, weak, fucking pig.

Very thrilled that The Cellar Door: Phantom Worlds dropped today, edited by Aric Sundquist through his Dark Peninsula Press--with my story "Saguaro Motel" in it. Many very cool writers in this anthology!

I'm beyond thrilled that The Rack II, edited by Tom Deady, dropped today--a very cool anthology that has my story "The Wash" in it. So honored to be among so many amazing writers!

Donald Trump and his lapdog Republicans just shut down the federal government after refusing to protect Americans from an imminent spike in health insurance costs.

This is what the GOP stands for.

This is the cringiest MF on the planet. He’s actually saying this to our most senior military officers from around the world.

Because the current administration is lying once again and hurting women and children, do this as much as possible (I'm getting my sticky notes ready):

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.
