"Air-Borne shows us the ways seeing where we live means listening deeply — and being prepared to see what’s perhaps never been seen.“ Grateful for this perceptive review from Robert Sullivan in the New York Times Book Review. Gift link: nyti.ms/3XAWM9E

Hey @umeauniversitet.bsky.social how about taking this guy's hedersdoktor degree away. Assuming you don't want to be associated with right wing antivaxx proponents.

The US government will stop sharing air quality data gathered from its embassies and consulates, worrying local scientists and experts who say the effort was vital to monitor global air quality and improve public health.

New article by @angelagui.bsky.social asks why Sweden with its close relationship with Thailand has remained silent on the latter's recent human rights violations & complicity in deportations & disappearances of activists, including her father who was kidnapped & rendition to China in 2015.

Yes, Trump just rescued the Russian economy

So when welcoming the U.S. pause in military aid to Ukraine, Peskov pointedly notes in public remarks on March 4 that intelligence sharing continues. The following day, the U.S. announces that it will stop sharing intelligence as well. Attaboy!

The U.S. has stopped sharing intelligence with Ukraine, according to the Financial Times. Earlier, The Daily Mail reported that Washington had banned the U.K. from sharing U.S.-sourced intelligence with Kyiv.

After Russia attacked Ukraine -President Zelenskyy’s country stood as a barrier between Putin and all western democracies -Providing aid to Ukraine boosted the US economy -And Putin’s army has been devastated, greatly reducing his ability to hurt America Has JD Vance said thank you once

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

And Bush?

#HHS has canceled the March meeting of outside experts who were to advise #FDA on what next winter's #flu shots should target. The irony of this: Canceling #VRBPAC makes the US more reliant on the WHO-led strain selection process. www.statnews.com/2025/02/26/f...

Very tough day yesterday, with the US siding with Russia against Ukraine. But at least all of those people who told us for three years that Ukraine was just a US proxy will now admit they were wrong (no?)

This is such promising good news. Let's hope the anti-vax idiocy of the new regime doesn't affect this amazing research.

"No matter how many times Donald Trump openly parrots the Kremlin line, it’s never not going to sound wrong coming from the President of the United States." from @sbg1.bsky.social www.newyorker.com/news/letter-...

We were played by right wing libertarians on COVID. Everyone watch the Covid inquiry on YouTube (see one important interview below). They never should have abandoned the precautionary principle, we have a mountain of studies showing the risks. They knew that those who had SARS never fully recovered🧵

This is chilling. About a clear an example as you can find of ideology driving science, when the government is telling scientists in advance what answers they want them to find out. But that should also tell you the value of any findings in such a regime.

Good stuff from @nicktsergas.ca www.importantcontext.news/p/trump-whit...

This fall the president of Stanford had the opportunity to expose powerful misinformation doctors. Instead, he chose censorship and scolded people who tried to warn him. Now, like all universities, he’s got “issues” to deal with. My latest for SBM. sciencebasedmedicine.org/openletter2/

If United Europe has a leader -- not yet another mediocre politician trying to secure some cheap ad hoc political scores but a true historic leader capable of leading -- now is the time to speak up.

“Don’t be evil.”

I mean it's barely even worth mention anymore but everything this fucking guy does benefits Putin.

@charlesgaba.com is a hero and downloaded CDC’s entire website. A small group of us has come together to preserve this critical resource and make it accessible to the scientific community. More to come. These data are public and they are ours. Deletion disobedience is one way to fight back.

This post is such a good reminder of how perspective matters in the context of news.

Oh my goodness. Cochrane behaving badly. Worth doing the long read on this one. #medsky #healthpolicy #medtwitter #episky

We tried out DeepSeek. It works well, until we asked it about Tiananmen Square and Taiwan

In response to reports that left-leaning hashtags like #Democrats were being blocked on Instagram, Meta issued statements that the "error" affected hashtags "across the political spectrum" and the "issue" applied to "not just those on the left." Except _the vast majority_ were on the left.

Wikipedia is one of the last major bastions of verified information. Which, of course, is why the oligarchs want to destroy it. You can donate to them here. donate.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?...

@ashishkjha.bsky.social is a textbook case of Tim Snyder’s “obeying on advance”—in a quest to be seen as a very serious, reasonable person, he is giving cover to the Trump administration. Except it’s just capitulation. And if you want to talk about bungling the Covid response, look in the mirror.
