Again, I imagine most Americans don’t realize just how badly you have to *#^% up, as an 🇺🇸 President, to get a 🇩🇪 Christian Democratic Chancellor - least of all <Friedrich Merz> - to say stuff like this. Epic, needless squandering of the goodwill of another essential ally. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

"Fair or not, trans people are angering MAGA. Is their style hurting the democrats?"

This is actually a distraction. What hurts science is ineffectual record keeping and documentation, which leads to an unreliable and unusable scientific record. Papers alone, even when freely accessible, cannot give us a usable and reliable scientific record. #OpenScience ≩ #OpenAccess

Jane Fonda à la Screen Actors Guild : "Ne vous y trompez pas, l'empathie n'est pas une faiblesse ou un truc woke. Et d'ailleurs, être woke signifie juste que vous en avez quelque chose à foutre des gens autour de vous." Cette dame est le fer de lance de la résistance à Hollywood et l'a toujours été.

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

Yep I think so too, and America will be shown to have joined the Axis instead of the Allied.

Now he’s deporting students that are here legally. Homan & 45 are evil, racist j3rks. #ProudBlue

I recently wrote a blog sharing my reflections from a NASA open science training we (@DUTC) held at Johns Hopkins University (@jhuartssciences.bsky.social). Researchers from diverse disciplines joined the training.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center say results of a Phase I trial of an mRNA vaccine aimed at preventing pancreatic cancer show promise. The vaccine PREVENTED the cancer from coming back in patients who had already received treatment for MORE THAN three years. 🧪🧵⬇️

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

The breadth and scope of cowardice amongst our scientific leadership is staggering.

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

Right-wing coups sweeping through the West are diminishing possibilities of emancipatory change. Books, scientific journals are being censored to reshape people’s subjectivities, produce docile population The world needs critical thinkers, not foot-soldiers for corporations and the ultra rich.

Meet 11-year-old Jocelynn Rojo Carranza, a young girl from Texas whose life was tragically cut short. She died by suicide after classmates threatened to call ICE on her family. Stop dehumanizing immigrants. That is not America.

We all know science is a disaster. That means we have two choices: 1. Whine and complain. 2. Imagine and implement the solutions we imagine. There is no third option. #OpenScience @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n... Rebecca Marodi, a California fire captain who was targeted by the right-wing as supposedly being a “DEI hire” and therefore blamed for the LA fires, has been found stabbed to death in her home.

On this day in 1942, Executive Order 9066 authorized the internment of thousands of loyal Japanese American citizens. This act was a betrayal of our most sacred values as a nation. California stands for our fellow Americans, regardless of national origin or immigration status.

Brazil shows that it can be done. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

This UNBELIEVABLE 15-year-old with college and masters degrees is in medical school working on a doctorate,,, but federal funding has cut off her research and scholarships. We NEED more doctors,,, especially little black and brown girls to grow up believing they can be anything. gofund.me/1549247a

National Science Foundation is being gutted today. Please support these folks and make some noise about this. 🧪

Okay I am sorry can we not just print Elon Musk marketing copy that says "smartest AI on earth" when it really should say "large language model that is better at the benchmarks tests they made up specifically for LLMs where they can literally train on both the questions and their answers

Jeff Bezos’ Washington Post would not run this ad. This is the power of oligarchy.

Finally published: This paper is the first to come out @drlearnasaurus.bsky.social's and my Levelt Innovation Award project where we combine our expertise on speech errors, repair, and word learning. Because competent learners have to do both!

🚨#BREAKING: Tens of thousands of Americans are gathering from coast to coast to protest the unconstitutional actions taken by this fascist regime. #NoKingsDay #NotMyPresident #Resist

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

An attack on women’s access to paid work.

Another example of appalling media bias. This German story makes a big play that an attacker was a Syrian immigrant and totally buries the fact that the big hero of the day was another Syrian immigrant who rammed the attacker with his food delivery truck to save lives. A far better story.

Department of Education FAFSA changes are open for public comment. The changes include requiring trans students to misgender themselves and removes the nonbinary option on forms. Note: comment period is 60 days, and comments are publicly visible. Form here: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Now is a time we need to support each other in academia across disciplines, across universities: Those in fields not under attack, need to help those who are under attack Senior faculty need to support junior faculty Privileged faculty need to support marginalized faculty #academicsky

1/29: First plane crash in 16 years in DC 1/31: Crash in Philly 2/5: Delta flight struck in Seattle 2/6: Flight wrecks in Alaska 2/10: Crash in Scottsdale 2/12: Military jet crashes in San Diego 2/16: Crash in Covington, GA 7 crashes since the WH congratulated itself for “restoring aviation safety”

This whole US-Russia convo about Ukraine without Ukraine is too reminiscent of the UK-Germany convo about Poland without Poland.
