Here are some slow motion videos of marsh wrens losing their shit this morning, with audio from the same moments. Been around hundreds of these birds and this is the first time they've put on a show. Take some time to enjoy it! #birds

This is the kind of callous assholery that makes my blood boil. That it comes courtesy of a chain gang of inept DOGEbags makes it even more infuriating. www.wired.com/story/lenaca...

"It’s shaping up to be the worst flu season since 2009, according to data from the CDC, with a “very high” level of spread in a number of states. The CDC says there are so many cases that this season is now classified as being 'high severity' for all age groups." 16,000 lives this year 💉😷🧼

I’m an infectious disease epidemiologist, and it’s not great when we’re super busy, and man, we’re SUPER BUSY and it doesn’t look like it’s gonna let up anytime soon. #EpiSky #IDSky

Why not?

This is outrageous. US should not destroy $500 million in COVID tests! Hundreds of people in the US are still dying every week from COVID. People are still getting COVID and then Long COVID and other serious health issues from COVID. COVID wastewater is high. COVID is not over. wapo.st/42VLGQh

We are still in an official COVID Pandemic. 409 million have long covid globally. Lack of testing in care homes led to the death of a relative and family friend. This is evil. It needs to be called out. Antiscience ideology!

REVEALED: we identified the operator of an overtly racist X account, "GlomarResponder," as ICE Assistant Chief Counsel James Rodden, based on an overwhelming number of biographical details matched through publicly available documents, other social media activity, and courtroom observation.

Rush that shit, Boeing.

I never dreamed that our post-fire soil study with Duke University would be so personal. Collecting samples has been archaeology- & tear-filled. More photos from 16? Of 22 houses sampled yesterday x 3-4 sites each & 2 samples each. More photos 🧵… #PalisadesFire #EatonFire #LosAngeles 🌱

Great reporting from Pittsburgh on rise of Cookbook clubs in public libraries! "Eager to make friends and try new things when she moved back to Pittsburgh after retiring, Jan Haltigan turned to what’s always been a welcoming space to connect: her local library." www.post-gazette.com/life/food/20...

Nothing else to say.

If my calculations are correct, fingers crossed, I should be able to retire at the age of 94 and live QUITE comfortably for the 2 days I’ll have left

Another way the dictatorship might kill you. This is from a friend who is a retired air traffic controller.

Does anyone know if this is sufficient for like- outdoor proofing wood? Or do I need to do some kind of finishing on top?

Dude believes the overwhelming sentiment among warfighters is that the guy who murdered children for fun and posed with their corpses was good and representative of American values, and the people who reported and testified against him are traitors.

Trump is doing to the U.S. what Putin did to Russia. It’s not a totalitarian regime. For that, you actually need a huge bureaucracy. Instead, he’s running the State as an organized criminal syndicate where all money and financial rewards are routed to those in charge.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
