New York Times story about how NASA's largest library is closing amid staff and lab cuts and many of the unique materials are just going to be thrown away.
The Library of Alexandria was burned. The Nazis burned books. Lenin destroyed Soviet science. This is no different.
Trump and the GOP are coming for both science and our libraries.
So much for a White Christmas

A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

Now it has become clear why the Defense Department is being rebranded "Department of War" to appease the warmongers. He didn't really want Greenland, he just wanted to inure people into normalized the takeover and explotation of another country's resources.

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.
We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally β almost certainly incomplete β includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

Pentagon reporters walked out of the building rather than sign on.
The freedom of the press has never been more crucial. Kudos to these journalists for protecting it.

01.10.2025 01:31 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Speculating on a person's health without clinical evidence can cause harm.
The discussion is politically charged and controversial. The topic of Donald Trump's health, including speculation about his cognitive state, is a highly politicized and controversial subject.
and doing so from a distance is inappropriate and unethical.
It avoids spreading misinformation and harmful content. AI systems are designed to prevent the creation and spread of harmful stereotypes, bias, and misleading information, especially on sensitive topics like health.
