The Supreme Court stops Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship

Our boys Sammy Alito and Clarence "Uncle Tom" Thomas did the predictable thing and voted to revoke birthright citizenship, because you knew they would. Anything to make the world worse and hurt people is always their prerogative. Gorsuch also joined them.

In a rare move, the most corrupt version of the court actually ruled for the better thing, overall, for once.

Burial site of all-female extinct human relatives baffles scientists

Probably already posted because this is a couple of days old, but I only just got around to rewatching Lee Berger's presentation at Carnegie in 2022. I was super excited after watching this on a livestream[0] because I'm an evolution and history nerd.

These are our cousins. We used to think they (cousins, we didn't even know about this branch) were so primitive, but we keep finding evidence that they were more like us than we'd thought.

Were our user prefs reset?

I hope this is the right place to ask:

My inbox was reset to 9 months ago. I had a ton of unread messages that are gone. Are settings that I applied (subscribing to channels, blocking trolls (almost never cause I disagree with blocking), other customization) before the site went offline lost / need manual updates?

Let's go, Lemmy SDF!

Elon Musk Is Rolling xAI Into SpaceX—Creating the World’s Most Valuable Private Company

In a blog post, Musk said the acquisition was warranted because global electricity demand for AI cannot be met with “terrestrial solutions,” and Silicon Valley will soon need to build data centers in space to power its AI ambitions.

This dumb fuck. Unfortunately, his boosters will be all-in on this messaging. Whatever.

"How do you grow up listening to punk and hip hop and still end up a bootlicker?"

Dunno who deserves credit for this, but a friend sent me a link to an anti-ice video on someone's insta (Ice-T performing live with updated lyrics for his song "Cop Killer"). This was also posted there, so I'll link to that page. No idea if that's who made the image or if they borrowed it from somewhere else.

Meta’s Reality Labs cuts sparked fears of a ‘VR winter’

Yeah, that's it. It wasn't having your fascist, boot-licking CEO show up wearing the stupidest looking shades that made investors cringe and look for the door. Cause we all know Zuck looks cool and people want to emulate him, right? He's not a jackass in a curly mop.

Maybe next they should have Elon wear them. We can just go down the line having stupid-looking billionaires take turns modeling these things and suck the whole industry dry of any investor money by mid-year. Who should go third? Oh, I know! Sam Altman with his two popped collars. I can't wait. What a trio of clowns. And that's just who I thought of off the top of my head.

Jane Goodall’s death triggered the premiere of Netflix’s new show

Such a badass.

“Absolutely there are people I don’t like, and I would like to put them on one of Musk’s spaceships and send them all off to the planet he’s sure he’s going to discover … He’d be the host … Along with Musk would be Trump … And then I would put Putin in there. And I would put President Xi. I’d certainly put Netanyahu in there, and his far-right government. Put them all on that spaceship and send them off.”

– Jane Goodall

Apple accuses former Apple Watch staffer of conspiring to steal trade secrets for Oppo

I wanted to post this yesterday, but my instance was having issues the entire day. Apologies if this is a repost.

Shi allegedly sent a message to Oppo saying that he was working to “collect as much information as possible” before starting his job. And he searched the internet for terms like “how to wipe out macbook” and “Can somebody see if I’ve opened a file on a shared drive?” from his Apple-issued MacBook before leaving the company.

For someone who is presumably pretty intelligent, this is pretty dumb.

Scientists Find a New Moon Orbiting Uranus

It's amazing to me that we can still find new heavenly bodies within our own solar system in 2025. Not to mention the possibility that we have data that suggests there might be yet another beyond Pluto, but that's still speculative.

Science: one of the only topics that doesn't suck in 2025.
