Contrary to some reports, you don't have two brains
A bad press release makes a good excuse to look at how developmental biology works.

FUN FACT! A ton (if not most!) Indigenous languages don't have a word for "wilderness" because that's such a colonial concept

There's only words for "home" and "the land (a living being)". Land is always doing what it's meant to, unless something like us is preventing it

Se habla mucho de la gestión en seguridad de Bukele en El Salvador, pero de lo que apenas se habla es de que está provocando un desastre económico y social: recortes, pobreza, deuda pública récord, y fracaso absoluto con el Bitcoin

"trans rights just aren't that popular"

Neither was the civil rights movement

"Oh but that's different"

Do you think that trans people aren't just a type of person that exists?

"But it's different tho"

In some ways, but civil rights leaders broadly saw LGBTQ rights as the next step, so...

Its weird to know that if we got rid of needles bureaucracy & administrative bloat accross the board, the average person would only have to work like 10-20 hours a week & most things would cost like 1/10 of what they do now

"Besides being deeply cynical, Chomsky’s supposed pragmatism has not stood the test of time...We may have manufactured consent once upon a time, but America has long since transitioned to a post-manufacturing economy."

Very harsh but worthwhile read.

Chomsky After Epstein - Strange Matters
Noam Chomsky – friend of Epstein, defender of dictatorships – was no model anti-imperialist. Can we do better?

Watched The Monolith Monsters (1957) yesterday and it blew me away. Alien invasion / giant monster movie where the "monsters" are inanimate rocks from a meteor. Everytime they get wet, they grow into towering monoliths, fall over and shatter, and then the cycle repeats, multiplying. Ingenious.

En España las bajas laborales se han disparado desde 2020 y se sitúan por encima de los países vecinos. Pero en vez de culpar a los trabajadores por vagos como hace la derecha, hay que preguntarse por las causas para poder así abordarlas. ¡Y ojo que algunas son positivas! 🧵

I'm proud to join over 100 economists in calling on the US to lift sanctions on Venezuela and unfreeze its assets following the June 24 earthquakes.

Venezuela must be allowed to recover and rebuild.

Israel doesn’t control the us outright and the us doesn’t control Israel outright but the agendas and intelligence on each side absolutely influences the decisions the other makes and I don’t think this should be controversial

Today is the International Feminist Day of Struggle. In 1910, socialist feminists around Clara Zetkin called for 8 March to become a global day of action for women’s rights. Today feminists take to the streets worldwide — the fight for real equality continues. 🌹✊
