"You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations ... There is no America. There is no democracy. There is only IBM and ITT and AT&T and DuPont, Dow, Union Carbide, and Exxon. Those are the nations of the world today." - Arthur Jensen (Network 1976)

Living under an authoritarian regime...who scrutinizes how universities spend money so they can steal more of it. Like we have noticed how democratic Tampa has bombed out highways, but just outside- red counties have brand new highways with millions in landscaping. www.newsweek.com/florida-doge...

Just imagine...it's barely even the 1st quarter of MAGA insanity. Next they want to prevent women from voting because JD thinks he can " replace the Karens with the endless Jose and Jamals. Trump= how to kill a country in 30 days.

GOP spent over $115 million just on riling up hated for transgender kids in sports. So much government efficiency.... for $115 million how many kids of all identities could have access to good sports programs? Unreal, GOP sexualizes children and ruins their lives, because they are pedophiles. Vile.

Sorry US, but the brain drain has already started. If it means not dealing with people who think the world is flat or the moon is an alien spy station (and will Argue to the death) or having stability, health care, quality of life, then as soon as I can, I'm OUT! www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Honestly if people want to be anti- vaxxers against proven medicine that eradicated several horrible diseases, I'm not feeling sorry for them. I feel sorry for the people who get the vaccine and still die from the stupidity of others. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

We are very mixed about AI in research... but it's getting more interesting. What role will humans have? I'm signed up for my GIS programming and other classes- wondering if AI won't be doing this all for us soon. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Seriously Iran, please just stay at home. Please don't even bother with this asshole. Even the silent tension is better than anything that could be achieved from meeting with the terrorist piece of shit who calls himself a President.

[1/5] Le phénomène d’îlot de chaleur urbain de surface (SUHII) progresse de 0.021°C/an à l’échelle mondiale. Ce réchauffement touche particulièrement les pays à faible revenu, où les villes connaissent une urbanisation rapide mais disposent de peu de moyens d’adaptation. #geography #UrbanHeatIsland

[1/5] Usama Kadri (Cardiff Univ) explore le potentiel des vagues comme source d’#énergie renouvelable. Bien que les vagues génèrent 50.000 à 80.000 TWh d’énergie par an, leur exploitation reste limitée. Son équipe montre qu’utiliser les ondes sonores sous-marines pourrait changer cela. #geography

I often thought about this as a dissertation if I'd gone into history, investigating the longevity of empires based on their internal inequalities or policies. Definitely more relevant after Peter Frankopan's amazing "The Earth Transformed". www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The axis of evil has won. And the democrats didn't help us much to fend off Donald and his goons of ignorance, bigotry, and catastrophe. I wouldn't be at all surprised if April 20th becomes a date of mass violence and devastating executive overreach. open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

Here goes the unhinged, demented Ron DeSantis again. I've lost more than half of my retirement and he wants to give us $1000? Honestly, I hate the GOP so much. I will NOT wait and see.

Today, some part of my shattered broken soul was repaired by the American people refusing the accept this treacherous, vile traitor as President. PLEASE. keep the revolution going until we win. He cannot go free. The democrats failed us. We MUST defend our country and uphold rule of law.

A bit late, but I'm tonight I sighed a heavy sigh of relief for my country. Keep up the pressure. The work isn't done until we turn their palace into their tombs. Better yet, nationalize their mansions: turn them into schools, libraries, and museums. #burnmaralago

Thank you Lithuania for having more decorum than the steaming bag of dog shit that we call a " president"... so- called

Hey Canada, we have almost 4,000 miles of border with very few unmanned stations. Don the Felon can try to squash our friendship, but don't tell me that your cowboy American neighbors don't know how to get around bogus tariffs and a refunded government. Prohibition didn't bother us. Don't give up.

Just a brief reminder, that before Trump’s tariffs the US farmers exported $124 billion dollars of soybeans mostly to China. American farmers are so hosed tonight.

I want to know, when you have 1,000 burns towards MAGA- how do you ever select just 1 protest slogan? Lol
