Historian from the future, readinge thrugh the March 2025 posts on thys site, Ich hope wyth all myne hearte that yower tyme ys bettir than these dayes we now endure.

Among all the utterly insane stuff going on, this ranks pretty high on the insane scale. mRNA vaccines are one of the great scientific advances of this century. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/bill...

This is a serene and peaceful space that should be open to all who respect it.

NOAA doing essential science. 🧪

Defunding the world’s leading scientific community is akin to a performing a prefrontal lobotomy on the nation—you are effectively severing the connections between the most innovative ideas and its citizens. Cutting support for science harms everyone! www.powerofusnewsletter.com/p/a-national...

I find it ironic that the best thing Trump could do for the economy is leave it alone, but he won’t because he is a child with matches.

Large federal workforce firings began at the National Weather Service on Thursday. The weather service budget is roughly $1.4 billion, about $4 for the average taxpayer. According to a 2024 report, weather service forecasts provide an estimated benefit of $102.1 billion to the U.S. public.

This is a disaster, and will be particularly bad after a weather disaster. People will die and there will be vast economic costs from this. It's not about saving taxpayers' money. It's about disassembling the government.

Finding the karaoke at the local pub therapeutic tonight.

@noaa.gov saves lives, protects the economy 💙 @noaa.gov 🌊 www.newsweek.com/doge-noaa-na...

Now no one can really say there's not a really good reason to join BlueSky.

Went with the alternate laces.

I would like to buy more GMO food.

Pleased to hear about Tina Smith’s no’s on confirmations. The two people least connected with reality.

Holy shit this cartoon.

Vaccinate your kids you weirdos or keep their asses home

Elon's incels are gonna have the nuclear codes by the weekend

Not happy that Elon’s Hitler Youth have my banking information.

Happy to be in the era with bread bowls. And vaccines.

The war on intelligence. We are a country in regress. arstechnica.com/science/2025...

The most iconic figure in the environmental sciences is the Keeling Curve, the CO₂ record from Mauna Loa, Hawaii. @noaa.gov had a wonderful site where you could visualize and download these data, and now it's just gone. These data belong to us and we should not let this happen!

Holy shit! Democrats, if you’re looking for a fighter, you found one— @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social for DNC Vice Chair.

Bernie Sanders grilling RFK Jr for selling anti-vaccination onesies is the energy I needed today.

He is by far the biggest clown in the clown car administration.

Posting for posterity.

The price of eggs in the US is spiking, mostly due to #H5N1 bird flu. Solving the problem requires urgent, important communications from the CDC & FDA* and rapid development of research by the NIH** * Currently paused by Executive Order ** Grant reviews now all canceled www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...

As the second Trump Administration brazenly bulldozes the vaunted wall of separation between church and state, such destruction will also erode precious individual liberties which depend on keeping dogma out of government. progressive.org/op-eds/trump...

47 degree difference. If we had some sun I’d be in a t shirt.

Trying to explain to my 12 yo the complexities around gender and sexuality. Wish me luck.

Nooo! Not Jewel!

Science sciencing, despite ivermectite maskaphobians. We have so much capacity to improve the world, as a society.

The Bible shouldn’t even be involved with political swearings in.

Hell is empty, And all the devils are here.

I don't think we're prepared for just how stupid the next 4 years are going to be. Horrifying and stupid at the same time.
