“According to Visit Oakland, which is hosting the event with the city, Liu opted not to have a parade and instead asked for ‘a celebration that shines a light on Oakland’s vibrant community and talented local artists.’”
I JUST LOVE HER 😭

in honor of a certain surgeon general nominee’s hearing today, here is the story of (among other things) the time I tried to take her advice about milk www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

Not so sure. Bin Laden had been a focus of the Clinton admin, but famously when W Bush came in he downplayed it and sent the analysts packing IIRC
Omg
Good one

Why tape sounds like that
Psychedelic poster featuring Hallucigenia sparsa. Text is the species name and current affinity (Panarthropoda, Lobopodia, Hallucishaniids, Hallucigeniidae), age (middle Cambrian, circa 508 MYA), and locality (Burgess Shale). The full animal is on the right, rotated 90° counterclockwise, with its name in a wiggly arc above it. Another illustration of the front of its body, seen from above and with no spines, curves in from the bottom left, tentacles swirling around the text. The age and locality text is upside down. The art is black and white with turquoise spots.
The same piece, flipped around so the age and locality text are now right side up. The black bits are a dark red-pink in this version.
Reviving an old series of Wes Wilson-style posters for Cambrian weirdos! This is Hallucigenia, whose anatomy is so odd, it was originally reconstructed upside down and backwards. To pay homage to that, the art can be hung either way, even sideways if you just want the species name right-side up! 🐡🧪🎨

(Btw I personally would be glad to stand firm on the ICE shutdown; removing my shoes vs funding concentration camps is not a tough choice, people)

*flags down waiter* more of this please
“As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that.””
Oops
AI presents a fundamental threat to our ability to use polls to assess public opinion. Bad actors who are able to infiltrate panels can flip close election polls for less than the cost of a Starbucks coffee. Models will also infer and confirm hypotheses in experiments. Current quality checks fail
