In stores everywhere.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

You can either support the United States of America and our democracy, or you can support trump. You cannot do both.

Reading about the Rupert Murdoch family trust mess. My favorite anecdote is when Rupert’s lawyer cross-examined his son James, trying to get him to admit that his plans to make Fox News more honest would hurt its value because it’s business model was to just tell viewers what they wanted to hear. 👀

Having served as a Moscow correspondent in the early days of Putin's reign, this reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access.

If you’re siding with Vladimir Putin, you’re wrong.

From yesterday SCUL walk in Shirley

Climate change will increasingly impact the ocean around Antarctica, and the life within it, as it progresses. Read the new paper by the excellent Ben Fisher and colleagues on how this will happen, what are the implications, and how we can improve our ability to predict the key changes. 🌊❄️🥼🧪

The good news is i saved you 60 billion dollars. The bad news is that is a typo i saved you 600 dollars and also your plane is falling out of the sky

Sea ice in the Arctic and around Antarctica cool our climate, drive ocean circulation across the planet, and provide a unique habitat for polar ecosystems. Sea ice amounts have now fallen to their lowest since we started measuring them. This is not good. 🌊🥼❄️🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

New documentary about Martin Parr opens next week. I have tickets to the preview at the Curzon with Parr and the director Lee Shulman - should be interesting. https://www.wallpaper.com/art/film/i-am-martin-parr-film-director-interview

Looking forward to this upcoming exhibit at Palais des Vaches: Out of the Grey by Stewart Beckett, AROI Opening Reception/ evening drinks Thurs 27 Feb 5-8pm

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

My God, I feel this post as much as any I have read in the last month

A couple of (actually serious) thought-experiment questions on where we are and where we’re going: If a bunch of sociopaths are destroying the federal government from within, why should we pay federal taxes? And if they succeed, who’s going to make us pay those taxes?

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Nice walk with Scul in Southampton today… it was a #fuji day.

For my whole life, that has only ever been a Nazi salute.

Hey y'all, I'm still looking for photography people here on Bluesky. Please drop me a line if you dig pictures so I can check out your feed. Thank you!

Here's a little something to get you started this morning: My Big List of #Photography Videos. Enjoy!

I’ve posted this image to Instagram…. Do people care about cross platform posts? @flakphoto.news got an opinion? Should Bluesky get exclusives?
