starting the ASO (anarchist standards organization). it’s the same as ISO but all freely available and also purely by coincidence our standards all end up the same as theirs

We have now reached the part of the gangster movie, where they are fighting over who gets what share of the money from the bank robbery.

Thread: How fascist policies are destroying the research that's been studying my brain for 8 years

I've been part of a Stanford adolescent brain development study since I was a kid - 8 years of my life contributing to science. Yesterday I saw firsthand how Trump's authoritarian bullshit is literally erasing scientific knowledge.

For years, this study included questions about gender identity - because, you know, that's actually relevant to understanding how adolescents develop. This year? Completely gone.

The researchers explained that Trump didn't just gut NIH funding - he made it illegal for any federally-funded research to even mention gender identity. They can't use the word "gender" at all. Only "sex" with binary options.

I watched these scientists - people I've known for years, who've dedicated their lives to understanding human development - have to explain how politicians are literally censoring their research. They called it "awful" but they had no choice: comply or lose all funding.

This hit me hard because this study has been part of MY life for 8 years. Watching authoritarians destroy scientific knowledge that includes my own data, my own contribution to understanding adolescent development - it's personal.

And this is happening everywhere. Universities across the country are being forced to choose between scientific integrity and keeping their research alive.

What we need to do:

• Demand Democrats restore NIH funding WITHOUT ideological restrictions when they're back in power
• Support scientists and research institutions fighting these restrictions
• Recognize this as part of the broader fascist assault on education and knowledge
• Keep sharing these stories - people need to see the real impact

This isn't just about research funding. It's about whether we'll let authoritarians decide what scientists are allowed to study about human beings.

Fascism doesn't just come for marginalized people - it comes for knowledge itself.

This "We simulated what it would be like if LLMs ran a vending machine biz" paper ends up with the same kind of insane emails that I sometimes get in my inbox, maybe they have emulated the true mind of the average vending machine operator after all

Instead of storing my data in the cloud, I just store it in the bush. It's the same thing, only palette-swapped. More accessible, too.

There's an old lady who uses a wheelchair on our street and she always has dog treats with her. This has Odin convinced that the purpose of a wheelchair is to store dog treats. Today he gave a different lady in a wheelchair quite a fright when he plopped his head in her lap to beg for treats.

Maybe the best thing to do about not being dependent on US clouds is to normalize hosting at home, including ISPs being less shitty about it

You noticed how google search became unusably shit a few years ago?
Turns out that was on purpose

Did you know that David Zinn's little creatures even make waffles using the things they find on the pavement? I feel like I'd enjoy one this Sunday morning 🧇

Nice to see that everyone is referring to the new pope by his chosen name.
