Important editorial in @nature.com. As I said a decade ago in an op-ed in the @nytimes.com (back when they were publishing stuff like that), "If You See Something, Say Something" (www.nytimes.com/2014/01/19/o...) www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Something lost a bit in the amazing images released earlier: Vera Rubin Observatory is a steely-eyed asteroid hunter! It's already found thousands of new ones in just a few nights, and is predicted to find *3.7 MILLION* more. THREE POINT SEVEN MILLION badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/vera-rubin... šŸ”­šŸ§Ŗ

New article ā€œSo many moving piecesā€ by @billmckibben.bsky.social for @resilience.org: www.resilience.org/stories/2025...

Kinda feel like I should go check out the tanks.

Reminder that the whole clean air movement started because of smog literally killing dozens of people and sickening thousands within a month. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1948_Do...

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: ā€œEither he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.ā€

This is the most beautiful music I’ve ever heard!! šŸ˜

This is a really important science and public health story. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/fashion/2025...

Good time to chat with your commander buddies about how they are duty bound to reject illegal orders. "…preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

Getting trolled by gringos who are upset by my use of the word ā€œgringoā€ is in fact very funny because it is the most gringo behavior lol

Exactly šŸ’„

At no point in this entire article of 16 paragraphs does ABC mention that another cop killed this cop by shooting her in the back. Nor does it mention the name of the cop who killed this cop. Nor does it mention that the civilians involved never fired at them. ABC might as well be state media.

I hate having to hand it to Gavin Newsom

Trump treats and thinks of all the democratic voting states as enemies! Keep this in mind, in his twisted mind all blue states are worse than Russia or North Korea, because the overwhelming people voted against the convict!

ā€œHow the public at large views this is critical to the future of the country and Trump’s whole effort to create a Putinized, autocratic presidency. Everyone should be choosing their next moves with an aim to having this play out so the public views these actions as illegitimate, unAmericanā€¦ā€

Remember in Trump 1 he had some sane people around him.

ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

ā€œStrongmanā€ politicians project their supposed strength by attacking immigrants, people of color, and the LGBTQ+ community. But these groups of people aren't the "threats" we should be worried about. Who is? The oligarchs who earn their keep by exploiting the rest of us.

The prominent areas of surface ocean warmth (relative to average) continue in the midlatitude basins of both hemispheres. Marine heatwave conditions have continued for quite a while now in the north-central Pacific. ENSO is neutral. Data from @noaa.gov OISSTv2.1 at www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/opt...

Even a disgusting pork-filled abomination like Elon is embarrassed of the MAGA Murder Bill.
