I am old enough to remember the arrival of the truly global and astonishingly useful worldwide web. I really did not expect to witness its death, poisoned by carelessness and greed.

Ultramafic rocks are so pretty when fresh, but weathered they turn this shocking orange color. (Oxidation, amiright?) For comparison, here's mantle peridotite obducted onto western Newfoundland at the Tablelands, Gros Morne NP. ⚒️

I said this to some friends the other day - we've shifted way too far into online-only, and it's cutting into things that really are best purchased after you've touched/measured them. Fabric is one of them. Not to mention everything is 3x the price. Thrifting and cheap supplies are expensive.

To understand why a cut of 50 or 75% will devastate science, whether it’s to support a lab or a ship, imagine a restaurant that’s open and fully staffed seven days a week but only has customers for two of those days. It’ll soon be forced to close because it’s not sustainable; the same with science.

That tens of billions of dollars in funding, people’s jobs, and the general safety of everyone in the country is tied up in a personal spat between too maladjusted rich guys is a sign that the United States has already failed. We were supposed to have a government that wasn’t susceptible to this.

So then Elon goes "Kill the Bill!" and Trump goes "Elon has TDS!" so Elon goes "I'm the reason Trump won!" so Trump goes "we waste billions on Elon!" so Elon goes "Epstein!" and a corpulent flunkie goes "Deport Elon!" and Elon goes "Impeach!" And THAT'S why women are too emotional to be President.

The failure of the National Academy of Sciences USA to make a clear and unequivocal statement about the disastrous Trump administration science policies — it lets all of us down and dooms them to eventual irrelevance.
