A rough beast? Slouching toward Jerusalem? In this economy?
Sam Altman is sad his actions are indefensible and people are mad.

I’ll be speaking in #Boston today.
See you soon, friends.
“Perfect” now must include “consistent with the president’s agenda.”
We’re entering a Stalinist/Lysenkoist period where political commissars are in charge. They must be obeyed.
Today’s the National Day of Action called by #SUFS

This was predictable, and we did predict it last summer when the multiyear funding policy first emerged.
This is how we know this admin is coming after science as a whole. Health equity, transgender health, mRNA vaccines… these areas are just the start.
I hope you will join me tomorrow at the #StandUpForScience rally in #Boston!

Trump desperately wants his own 9/11.
It implies who has the privilege to vote under the Trump regime. It ain’t us.
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
When you become aware of the evils and unfairness of the world, you also become endowed with the sacred responsibility to fight back.
Support nonprofit journalism!
And is ripping off my creative and professional work and throwing it in a cement mixer while reliably informing me that their business model simply won’t scale if they pay for my labor.
So merely hours after Anthropic warned the DoD that AI was not ready for life-or-death decisions in war, the DoD used Claude for life-or-death decisions in war that immediately led to the targeting and massacre of a hundred innocent Iranian schoolgirls?
We are in the darkest timeline.
twitter, as it existed as an imperfect but useable platform under Jack Dorsey, is as dead as the Washington Post. almost everyone still posting there is firmly in denial of that, but anyone who is honest can see it's a shell of itself
One thing I think is lost on folks who are not in the fight is how people like Ian raise thousands of dollars, covering rent for dozens of families, and STILL feel like it isn’t enough. I see it in everyone who is lending any amount of help. We are tortured by the thought that we can’t do it all.
An entire 5-year R01 grant costs ~$2.8 million
We could fund 357 of the premier research programs in the world for half a decade with the money being wasted every day on this treasonous war.
Sports that have blanket banned trans women—lack scientific justification, they ignore the diversity among trans women in body size, physiology.
Research suggests trans women perform worse than c1swomen in:🫁 function, efficiency of breathing, & fitness.

Who needs breakthroughs in cancer and aging research when we can bomb civilians?
A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.
May this set a precedent.
Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.
It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.
Maybe if we said the transphobes and ICE are coming for our Dunkin’ we’d get something done!
Shit is getting serious. You don’t threaten our Dunkin’. #Boston #MA
NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US
It's up to us to save science, protect health and defend this democracy!

Join us on the streets at rallies nationwide on March 7th.zurl.co/Rcwcl

What.
Schrödinger’s war.
It’s only war when it’s rhetorically convenient. 🤷🏽♀️
fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this

We learned the hard way over the past two decades that military intervention in foreign countries rarely creates sustainable democracies.
Supporting nonviolent civil resistance does. But the Trump regime just deleted that whole playbook and the agency built on it.
Because it’s a threat to him.
One of the (many) enraging things about the Iran war is the US had an agency specifically devoted to supporting democracy and civil resistance abroad… until Elon Musk and DOGE destroyed it.
USAID didn’t only provide humanitarian relief, it also supported activists fighting dictatorships.
Well this is a depressing thought.
