One of the people fired from NOAA today is the director of the Ocean Acidification Program. That program also leads the U.S. government's effort on marine carbon dioxide removal (mCDR). The destruction of American science is incomprehensible.

The only thing more delightfully hilarious about getting an email from a former co-worker asking if they can name an asteroid after me is to have to respond by telling them that I already have an asteroid named after me! If you want to know more, the most fun way to learn about how asteroids […]

Trump views the aid to Ukraine in a one sided way. Putting aside the fact that that 'aid' has been unreliable, always stop-start, always delayed past the point where it would've been most effective, America undervalues what it has got in return. Ukraine has taken the weapons it has received and […]

[satellite doom post] Just had a meeting with my group of collaborators working on calculating collision timescales of satellites and junk in orbit. I keep convincing myself "oh I'm exaggerating it can't possibly be that dangerous." But uh. It's really bad, guys. I'm not going to say any […]

Watch the oligarchs move into their new roles. Jeff Bezos started out selling books. Now he's a multi-billionaire. He bought one of the best newspapers in the US: the Washington Post. But Trump publicly threatened his business, and Bezos is willing to suck up […] [Original post on mathstodon.xyz]

Not to brag, but the UK has given shelter to so many Russian oligarchs for so long that our capital has been nicknamed Londongrad.

"Afterwards I asked Matt Clifford, Starmer’s AI adviser, about this, and he claimed ignorance of the biggest copyright theft in history, which seems a strange knowledge gap. Perhaps Clifford was trained on a different dataset." Had missed this utterly damning sketch by @roberthutton.co.uk

If the West had been really serious about helping Ukraine, the EU wouldn't be spending more money on Russian fossil fuels than on financial aid to Ukraine. Now that the US government has abandoned Europe and is siding with Putin, it's time for the EU to get serious. I'm glad Merz sees things […]

Honestly EU, it's long overdue for states to block and thus shut down X. The US is actively interfering in elections in plain sight. Shut the offending platform(s) down whilst you still can.
