For decades, the US government has painstakingly kept American science #1 globally—and every facet of American life has improved because of it. The internet? Flu shot? Ozempic? All grew out of federally-funded research. Now all that's being dismantled. 1/ www.technologyreview.com/2025/02/21/1...

Apparently there are two special elections in Florida and one in the summer in New York which could flip the House majority? If you are able to vote in these elections, please do so, and tell your friends! 💙

I really enjoyed the new season of Castlevania Nocturne. @kempob.bsky.social and I binged it (his hand is okay even though I squished it 1000 times!) It was so cool to learn about other cultures too - Went down a rabbit hole reading about Ogun. Can't wait for season 3!

If he had a shred of any moral compass, he'd choose not to exploit the system. Here we are because all Niccol cares about is his next mansion or yacht. There's a circle of hell for billionaires and it includes living like their lowest paid workers.

This is honestly one of the hardest things to do. I have someone I know who lives in Berlin and we were TIGHT, but... yeah... when you're even tighter with someone who hurt me unrepentantly for years, nah.
