Enjoyed a riveting performance by Bereishit Dance Company from Seoul!

we're organizing to help folks in astronomy + planetary sciences who've lost their jobs without warning, or have important initiatives that suddenly lost funding, due to the recent executive orders. please share with your networks!! #extragalactic #exoplanets #astronomy #cosmology

UPDATE: This request has been docketed at SCOTUS (24A790), and a response has been requested. It is due on 2 p.m. Wednesday.

Happy love day ❤️

As an IRS agent, Tigran Gambaryan was perhaps the most effective crypto investigator in history. Then last year he was charged in Nigeria with money laundering and thrown in prison. Throughout, he was texting with me from a secret phone. This is his full, untold story. www.wired.com/story/untold...

The WTA continues to lead on protecting and properly respecting female athletes. They do so much good. www.nytimes.com/athletic/603...

Just a reference for anyone interested in audits: The US Treasury, Office of Management and Budget, and the Government Accountability Office produce a financial report for the federal government's finances. Anyone can read it. www.fiscal.treasury.gov/reports-stat...

MW coup def.: " a sudden decisive exercise of force in politics and especially the violent overthrow or alteration of an existing government by a small group." This seems like alteration.

Heartwarming, chill protest today. People discussed things and gave out food. May the better side of humanity persist.

#PPOD: This Hubble Space Telescope image shows the planet Jupiter in a color composite of ultraviolet wavelengths. Though the "Great Red Spot" appears red to the human eye, here it appears darker because high-altitude haze particles absorb light at these wavelengths. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬

Nicely done playing it straight CNBC.

Happy Lunar New Year!

Never get tired of Muir Woods.

May we become better as collective humanity at retaining lessons learned.

Love this so much! There is kind of an economic story behind Thailand's government moving in this direction, but that doesn't lessen the beauty of it.

I finally have capacity to make small charitable investments and in light of the critical importance of good journalism, I went with PBS, APM Marketplace, and The Economist.

Yesss! I'm going to buy some extra stuff there this weekend now.

In a memo obtained by NPR, acting health secretary Dorothy Fink forbade staff from public communications on most matters until Feb. 1, unless they get express approval from 'a presidential appointee.'

I'm currently on day two of a workshop from the NIH. We're in the middle of a presentation and we're now being told that the remainder of the workshop is cancelled. 🙃

I would love to see leaf circuit boards gain traction. This is so cool! www.science.org/content/arti...

Seeing a lot about the Andreesen Douthat interview today. Similar vibes to the Zuckerberg Rogan interview. Getting the impression that under Trump the broader public will see and feel the effects more keenly of how insanely disconnected many legacy VCs and big tech founders are from reality.

Terry and Chris are best friends. They just finished holiday shopping and are contemplating what to do with the rest of their weekend.

Some exciting news from @economist.com. All American service members—all 1.3m active duty, and those retired—now have free access to The Economist's website, thanks to a deal with DoD. If I'm not mistaken, you can access it through DoD's library pages: www.dodmwrlibraries.org. Happy reading.

Anytime a scam organization gets taken down it's good news, but this particular operation is also a very interesting snapshot of the political and militia situation in Myanmar. www.rfa.org/english/myan...

I find joy watching musicians randomly mess around with new instruments. These kids played pretty much the entire Guitar Center inventory including banjos. youtu.be/ePu8Udc2tQ4?...

Mind refresh! My favorite feeds on here so far are birds, astronomy, gardening, and science art.

Both things can’t be true at once. Perception is quite different than reality. And disinformation is a helluva drug.

Great but extraordinarily confusing data.

Deactivated my X account and deleted the app. I've been wanting to do that for a long time and I finally saw a critical mass of good journalists and news sources to follow here to feel free to do it.
