Adam Conover got famous for promoting critical thinking in his show “Adam Ruins Everything.” Now he’s getting paid to promote an orb that scans your eyeball in exchange for crypto currency, which was trained on poor villagers in Africa and Southeast Asia. Yes, really. skepchick.org/2025/05/adam...

Just saw @drerinmac.bsky.social give her talk on science, Star Trek, and her life journey to having the coolest job in the world combining those two things! I only hope I've inspired a quarter of her passion into my own students.

I keep hearing about all these cuts but I haven't heard anything about our taxes being slashed since we no longer pay for this stuff. I wonder where all that extra money will go then? Huh.

Just because 99/100 scientists agree that it's bad to open a portal to the hell dimension doesn't mean we should immediately discount the opposing views of the scientist employed by Open A Portal To The Hell Dimension Inc.

Yeah no solidarity is definitely something you can demand. Especially if you're a marginalized group being harmed by the majority.
