Turns out a supermassive black hole in a galaxy next door is firing potshots at us: it's flinging stars through our galaxy at SIX MILLION KILOMETERS PER HOUR. www.scientificamerican.com/article/hype... 🧪🔭

Need to shut down the bro weather streamers until we figure out what they hell is going on

In case you didn't already mistrust AI...

Republicans are saying that these cuts will be reinvested into Medicaid for people who "deserve" it. If that were true, the budget would stay the same. But that's not what's happening. Why? Because down the hall, they are trying to finance tax breaks for billionaires.

@hankgreen.bsky.social I want to know if you got purple first today in Connections, because I swear it was four yellow categories.

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Perhaps this is why DOGE wants to cut NOAA so bad. It seems like eventually it comes to light that every one of the cuts they made has the potential to financially benefit Elon Musk.
