Please reset the “Days since UF embarrasses itself nationally” counter back to zero.

BREAKING: Judge denies NSF's 15% indirect rate plan. Like the DOE and NIH attempts, it too has now been rejected by courts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pairing rank bigotry with edgelord thinking produces ideas like "restricting the pool of talent will actually increase our quality and competitiveness"

Was about to do the same but was beaten to it. Read for both “they are so bad at everything” and “I learned a lot about how big events are put on” reasons.

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

I assume Senator Collins is going to be very troubled. Deeply concerned. Worried, even, by the manhandling of a fellow US Senator.

🚨 New paper, led by Cristina Barber. We used high-resolution aerial imagery to study tree mortality in a tropical landscape. Large, isolated trees were most likely to die--alarming finding! @ecologicalsociety.bsky.social esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

You think this is new? 30 years ago, students from Bowie High School in El Paso TX got tired of being harassed by the Border Patrol (now ICE) so they sued their asses in federal court & won. www.elpasotimes.com/story/archiv... La Migra has always sucked. They always will suck. Don’t back down.

Stephen Miller just said “This is proof mass migration unravels societies” about… <checks notes> …El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río de Porciúncula.

1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America

Que vivan Los Charros, el alma de mi tierra. Y que viva América!

Days like today I miss @ScientistTrump. “The pre-print is abomination and must be rejected by Science” “He got his faculty job and all those grad students because of me”. “He won’t release the Crowther files because he’s in them”. Then I remember he was supposed to disappear Nov 2016

Tomorrows pre-market trading in Hawaiian banana futures is going to be through the roof.

Amazing. Respect the lede.

Oh my god, they're asking the kids to choose.

When people gushed about bluesky my reaction was typically “stop trying to make fetch happen”. Until today. Today is the first day that reminds of fun twitter. This is the cathartic snarksplosion we all needed. Keep it coming.

Dude, read the room.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

“Kafka name-checked three words in” feels like the lawyer equivalent of noticing a small red dot appearing between your eyes

OMG. “According to LinkedIn, the bulk of Fugate’s leadership experience comes from having served as secretary general of a Model United Nations club.”
