Healing is possible. I know it’s even harder in this world we live in. Do it anyway. You deserve it. 💙

I saw a social media post with British women talking about the recent events in the US. They were incredulous and one said "I can't believe they still let these people vote". They all laughed. It made me really sad. Elections have consequences.

Exactly this!! How many times will we need to bail out the American auto makers because they don’t keep up with the times!

This is a must read! Thank you Sarah for the clarity!

One person’s “dreadfully cold day” is another person’s “perfect opportunity to read Agatha Christie and eat scones in front of the fire” Life is what you make of it.

Tabby and I have been married 54 years today. It's all good.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

I may have misheard--is it true that every committee in the House and Senate in 2025 will be headed by men? Isn't this macho shit getting a little ridiculous?

In Iceland, on Christmas Eve, people give each other books so they can spend the evening drinking cocoa & reading. It’s called, Jolabokaflod, the Christmas book flood. I’ve never been more in love with Iceland than I am right now ♥️♥️

I do astronomy for a living, and images like this *still* take my breath away. What a beautiful universe we live in. Even in the midst of trouble, grief, & anything you might be struggling with (like we all are) - try to seek out the beauty. It helps ❤️

I was just reading Stephen Hawking’s response about the future of AI. This is perfect!

I've seen a child with tetanus, I've treated near fatal infections after chicken pox, and I've pronounced children dead from COVID whose parents refused to have them vaccinated. We have lost our minds... and are about to lose so many of our precious children.

This is so spot on. As a climate scientist and public intellectual, I see or experience these often

I am testifying tomorrow against Intro 606-2024 - Bob Holden's Bill seeking to register e-bikes. It is a bill born of false equivalencies & false choices that will not make our streets safer, will result in discriminatory enforcement & won't solve the problem it claims to. @nyc.streetsblog.org

This is truly the best legal advice we can give.

•Billionaires don’t pay into this economy. Their cash is overseas. •Corporations write our legislation when they pay our elected officials. •Our healthcare is attached to our employment. •Workers don’t make enough to live. •WE KEEP LETTING IT HAPPEN. #EndCitizensUnited

if this is true, the continued takeoff of Bluesky would be a matter of world-historical significance: the contrived decline in referral traffic to news sites from social media platforms is a load-bearing aspect of our currently screwed up information ecosystem

WATCH: People celebrating after South Korea's parliament blocks martial law and soldiers withdraw

I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet. Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment
