As others have noted, the life of Carl Bosch is worth a look in these times. Fritz Haber demonstrated that nitrogen could be reduced to ammonia, but Bosch’s work turned that into a technology that changed the world with sudden new supplies of fertilizer (and of explosives). (1/8)

Why Kennedy’s “just asking questions” act on vaccines is so idiotic and disingenuous:

Serious #bjj question. How does one deal with getting claustrophobic when rolling? It never happened for the first few months when I started, and now it's happened 3 or 4 times in the last month.

The anti-CRT/DEI/WHITE movement predates the American education system. But don't take my word for it... Read the primary sources Hurry up. It might be illegal soon.

Went to a card show this weekend. Scored a butch of 1988 Donruss track packs for a buck. The dealer also had a couple of packs of year sweet ass 1988 Topps coins. Bought a pack for nostalgia and had a hell of a pull. #cardsky #junkwax

So, you may ask, why do I get so angry about the new liberal spin on RFK Jr, as in, "he gets some things right, so let's collaborate on those" or "we have to work with him because he has a huge following we need to reach"? Because I've seen this movie before. 1/

Fraser gave me a chemistry home when things were at their lowest. I'll always remember how he could distill complex ideas down to be digestible. His style of technical writing (and knowledge of grammar) is something I leverage to this day. Rest easy. #chemsky

In my book, any doctor who praises or normalizes this man in any way should be disqualified from serious conversation. If they can’t reject Americas #1 anti vaxx liar, a low bar to pass, why should I take them seriously about anything?

Anyone who is anti-vax is pro-death. Period. The science and data do not lie. And they don’t care about your podcast.

I feel like not enough people know that Elon Musk first became wealthy by being so awful at running a company that his own management team mutinied when he went on his honeymoon; his own board of directors then fired him; and his replacement then turned the company into PayPal. 1/

As a Christian, I remind you that Jesus was a gun loving nationalist who opposed abortion, liberals immigration, labor unions and gay rights. Oh wait, did I say Jesus? Sorry, I meant Hitler. Jesus did none of that. That was all part of Hitler’s agenda.

This explains why conservative fear-mongering is such an easy play in America. — Ppl believe trans ppl make up 21% of the population (Real number: 1%) — Ppl believe Black ppl make up 41% of the nation (real number 12%) — Ppl believe Jewish ppl make up 30% of the nation (Real number, 2%)

In the Battle of Thermopylae (480BC), a small force of Greek soldiers fought valiantly against a mighty Persian army, knowing they could never win. Their task was to slow down the Persian advance until reinforcements across Greece could be mustered. ...🧵

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.
