A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

Trump has basically conceded our scientific and technological supremacy to China without a fight. I will not live long enough to see the damage reversed; that is, if it’s ever reversed.

If I see any of you fuckers trying to rehab Musk because he said something you agree with just because his ego is currently as bruised as his eye, I'm going to shit directly onto your teeth.

1 in 4 pregnancies ends in miscarriage. If people do this, emergency services won’t be able to keep up. If every miscarriage is investigated, every woman will be a potential criminal. Travel will be restricted, felons can’t vote, and police departments and prisons will have to expand— Oh.

The way people are talking about the current demolition of research funding and HE legitimacy reminds me of the early days of COVID when I (and others) said it would be at least six years before any normalcy. Rage, despondency, rejection…eventually voting for a dictator just to feel alive.

Nobody ever learns, ever. The Washington Post has some of the best reporters in the business, in particular their tech desk, and every single move like this weakens the hard work they do. Utterly stupid, the Business Idiots are out of control

I encourage everyone to read this, ChatGPT is "a symptom of a totalizing cultural paradigm in which passive consumption and regurgitation of content becomes the status quo." A few select are the "content creators" while the rest are shunted to the "creatively bereft role of the content consumer."

Not only are parks profitable, they inject billions to local economies and welcome 300+ million people a year. This is yet more wealth extraction to private interests not just from all of us as a nation but hundreds of communities and small businesses.

i dont want to be so skeptical of fbi statements on acts of terror but then i have to remember that the current fbi director literally spent years writing donald trump fanfic for children, so yes, im skeptical of everything these days.

Dear Members of the Press. P0TUS bragging that his tariffs are "already" bringing TRILLIONS of $$ into the US. Beyond the fact that it's not true, will you please ask him, "If that's so, then there's no need to even discuss cutting social services, medicine, education, air safety, etc etc. Right?"

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Deporting a gay man to Russia is beyond horrific, and yet this admin is happy to do it. And the verbal abuse he describes is abhorrent; and not new. Guards at detention centers, jails, and prisons get away with crap like this all the time. It’s appalling, it’s not new under Trump, just worse now.

I always tell up-and-coming novelists to use Locus to make sure they're up on the latest SFF news -- deals and deliveries, which agents are worth your time, forthcoming blockbusters, etc. Essential for writers and anyone else who needs to know. Check out their fundraiser and donate if you can!

While we’re on founding fathers, I think people actually underrate the Gothic horror of Jefferson and Sally Hemings. She was his slave, she was also his dead wife’s much younger half sister as a result of Jefferson’s father in law raping his slave.
