This seems like a really really bad time to be undergoing post tenure review.

Behold the homemade tuna parm sub™️

We may be in a Great Depression by then.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Let's all say it out loud. These people are fascists & this is a fascist take-over of the United States. You can couch your words more carefully, but the speed and ferocity of what is happening now is part-and-parcel of a coup. The GOP in Congress has surrendered. The Dems are out of their depth. 1/

I would go instantly.

@davidmuirj.bsky.social what would Walter Cronkite do?

Tariffs are a tax on Americans. Trump’s 25% tariff on Mexico & Canada will drive up prices, kill jobs & strain relations with our allies. Meanwhile, China gets off easier with just 10%. Who is he really helping? Not us!

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

This study is remarkable and I will keep talking about it. Many findings, but the presence of SARSCoV2 in the skulls of patients who had recovered from infection but died of non-COVID-19 causes is a major. What if long-lasting viral presence is inducing chronic inflammation, for example? #NeuroCovid

Growth slowed in the the fourth quarter, inflation is rising again. Tomorrow Trump's tariffs will cause inflation to rise further, the economy to keep slowing down. Trump is causing a staggering amount of damage to the country and we need to keep fighting. bsky.app/profile/did:...

One of the vaccines we have—the one for pneumococcal disease—prevents meningitis in young kids. Getting that disease while young can affect your whole life. "The doctors told my parents that if I woke up, I’d probably never have a normal life." www.voicesforvaccines.org/how-meningit...

Are any lawyers taking up the case of NSF fellows pro bono?

“That paragraph was gone as of Thursday afternoon, as was the assertion that Rubin shows what can happen when “more minds” participate in science. The word “more” was replaced with “many,” shifting the meaning.” 🧪 🔭 www.propublica.org/article/vera...

Calling bullshit on their lies isn't censorship. Failed insurrectionists aren't heroes. Fighting racism and helping underserved communities isn't discrimination. Showing empathy isn't evil. Supporting trans kids isn't abuse. Don't accept their twisted frames as reality.

yes it can be pinned on him...

New paper led by @silvia-anderle.bsky.social Lifestyle matters for genetic Alzheimer’s disease risk: APOE4 reduces neurovascular function most in an already-stressed system,  when neurons are active and mice do less exercise. I'll tell you all about it! 🧪 #neuroscience #alzheimers rdcu.be/d74uh

Just in case anybody has doubts about what "Make America Healthy Again" really means, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. filed a trademark request to use the slogan to market supplements, essential oils & cryptocurrency. Scammity scam-scam scamming scammer. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Fuck "do not comply in advance." Do not fucking comply at any point! Ever! Fascism is bad even if it's technically "the law!"

How long before Stephen Miller exclaims "Ovens! What we need is ovens. Lots of ovens."?

Hi. Jewish person here. These are concentration camps and should be called that by everyone.

Absolutely batshit you can watch on live TV a rotting whale eating, bear corpse vandalizing, brainworm eaten, anti-science sex pest who drove an ex wife to suicide & looks exactly like corrupted Leland Palmer from Twin Peaks & sounds like Megatron auditioning to be head of America’s healthcare.

If those MFers gave me a free car, I would refuse it. I don't give money to nazis.

Guys, I hate to even suggest the possibility, but I’m starting to wonder just a teensy-weensy little bit whether maybe, just maybe, FFOTUS wasn’t totally upfront and forthcoming about Project 2025 during the campaign

If you're stupid enough to send an email with only the word "resign" with no codicils or conditions, I guess you get what you deserve from the scammer in chief.

Has anyone searched climate change, alternative energy, or woke ideologies (shorthand, not serious)? I wouldn’t be surprised if those searches don’t return results.

Anybody else notice that this guy Homan, is the embodiment of evil?

Trump's freeze of federal grants and loans could be devastating – less money for public safety, health care, and education. This is ripping off hardworking Americans and will raise the cost of living. Democrats will fight this illegal order.

U can only LOL. Stupid but I suspect self-awaredly so; Therefore, also brazen.

If you’re in the US and you’d like to know what projects and vital services federal grants currently fund in your state, you can search here: www.usaspending.gov And you can find the contact information for your elected representatives here: www.usa.gov/elected-offi... They need to hear from you.

Sue him.

You know what's funny about this? His own supporters believe he didn't (doesn't) know where the slogan came from (even though his father was at a minimum sympathetic).

Ditto

Anyone know where you can find a list of study sections you’ve been on? I’ve been bad about updating my CV.

Dude got into the Redbull and grew wings.

Should be but sadly won't be.

Remember, the cruelty is the point.

Good luck! They are impervious to bullshit exposure because they don’t understand the point you’re making. 🤷🏻‍♂️
