This is on all the Senators who turned a blind eye and voted to confirm. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/h...

Dear USA Deploying troops against civilians will not go well. Yours Great Britain and Northern Ireland

UPDATE: David Huerta was just released from custody!

This is the bris you never wanted to attend, the circumcision you would never be able to unsee. And don’t blame me for that metaphor, blame John Oliver. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-endl...

Please. PEACEFUL protests.

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

To me, as an Atlanticist and foreign policy guy for most of my career, that comment really stung.

For sure, the pharmacy benefit manager system needs to be seriously scrutinized and replaced with accountability and transparency.

😆😝

Hahahaha..., the girls are fighting, indeed, the "mean" girls.

A new report from @warren.senate.gov details Elon Musk’s reign of corruption in Washington, itemizing 130 dodgy dealings in 130 days. EXCLUSIVE ⤵️

How bad will it be? Catastrophic. Proposed cuts to #NSF, #NIH, and #NASA will set the US R&D landscape back 25 yrs+, cause economic and job loss now, and undermine innovations to come. But, this is the WH's *proposed* budget. Speak up now before it is too late. (inflation adjusted $-s below)

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

Well, just one more thing to worry about... www.theatlantic.com/science/arch...

I really have zero sympathy for them

Apple/EU tariffs, attacks on Harvard…all purposeful mis-directs, that will not stand, from the following: —GOP tax bill is largest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in history. Democrats/media being played.

Fear of speech in the land of the free, indeed. It’s already here.

“It’s pretty clear that this medication combination is reducing obstructive sleep apnea events. And it’s reducing the severity of oxygen drops during sleep." www.science.org/content/arti...

A new #ScienceSignaling study interrogates crosstalk between mechanical and biochemical signals in epithelial cells, illustrating how mechanical stretching activates a kinase that regulates cell growth, migration, and differentiation.

Indeed.

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

As fog blanketed Seattle, @knibbs.bsky.social's waited to meet @jay.bsky.team—CEO of Bluesky. Fittingly, just before she arrived, the skies cleared. It felt poetic. Her name, Lantian, means “blue sky” in Mandarin. And her mission? Clear the smog from social media.

Paul Dirac on the relationship between mathematics and physics.

If something can be destroyed by the truth, then it deserves to be destroyed by the truth.

SPRINGSTEEN, on tour in the UK: “.. "In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." @variety.com variety.com/2025/music/n...

That is in fact what this administration has done.

Who could've guessed joining a make-believe Resistance against an Evil Empire would ever happen in real life?

Trump is their child. F*ck 'em! #YouCannotSubjectUsToAntiCorruptionLaws #OffWithTheirHeads www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Have you ever wondered what radical conservation might look like? Edward Abbey helped me imagine that world with books like “The Monkey Wrench Gang” and “Desert Solitaire.” He is an #AltCitizen. It will take #AllofUs. What will you do?

"The new pope, like the old pope, does not support MAGA’s christofascist nationalism. MAGA, confronted with the fact that they do not control everything or everyone, responded in their usual fashion — by wailing and gnashing their teeth." — @nberlat.bsky.social

It's a bribe. It's blatant, daring us to challenge it. And it's normalized. This is what's so pathetic about our time. The shame is on all of us, Americans.

Next week, we are hosting an international scientific workshop focused on the pathogenesis of #LongCovid at @yalemed.bsky.social. Please join us on May 15th to learn about what we know and what we need to investigate next to get to the root causes to accelerate therapies 👇🏼👇🏼

Tonight, President Trump fired a patriotic public servant. The Librarian of Congress, Dr. Carla Hayden, has spent her entire career serving people—from helping kids learn to read to protecting some of our nation’s most precious treasures. She is an American hero.

Wait til they hear about some of the stuff Jesus said

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

I don't think it's fully appreciated just how much Trumpism is a celebration of ignorance. Trump not only never learns but proactively avoids it. It's a braindead movement from the top down.

Carl Sagan, my hero and idol. Not merely a physicist or a scientist, to me, he's a great philosopher. His book, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark, is one I want to have with me when I leave this demon-haunted world.

Aaaarrrrrrgggghhhhhhh

They're dismantling (what remains of) the social safety net and replacing it with a dragnet instead.

The real King, forever.
