Have a friend who headed up iOS security for Apple.

Govt. asked him to build such a tool. He refused to build the tool for reasons that we are seeing now...

Yes, please.

I love this from @aresluna.org on Flickr URLs: unsung.aresluna.org/unsung-heroe...

For many years, I copied Flickr's URL scheme for Jonesblog as it was beautiful.

Their science takes them outside In pursuit of their questions of interest, some researchers head into the very hot or very cold.

Love this page by @vivienm.bsky.social on PhD student Maria Papadimitraki's field work in the Arctic. Don't miss the 3 minutes of quiet transit through Barents Sea ice: communities.springernature.com/posts/fieldw...

So... A friend was supposed to give a PURELY SCIENTIFIC talk at NIH within the next couple of weeks and it was cancelled because of a "new process" where all speakers/talks have to be CLEARED BY A POLITICAL APPOINTEE.

You've heard people say that Trump is a poor person's impression of what a rich person looks like?

Well, Hegseth is a weak person's impression of what a strong person looks like.

It's all swaggering and show. And reality TV has done us all wrong, in the worst ways possible.

Say it again!

OMG!!!!

Also, $550 billion is a decade of science spending in America (NIH and NSF).

Just completely unconscionable.

Was that in a skit?!??

This is an absolutely bonkers statistic.

Yet this administration is trying to spend $500 billion on the military (that the Pentagon did not want and is having trouble spending) and the Trump administration is now asking for $50 billion more.

While teachers are having to do side hustles…

When my sister was 5, she was talking in her sleep, and said “Heeeeere fishy fishy fishy”.

I am sorry.

Oh, nooooo. The coming out of both ends virus.

Appropriations - 3/4/2026 YouTube video by Michigan House of Representatives

At 9 AM ET, I’ll be testifying before the Michigan House Appropriations Committee about their legislation establishing a state digital service. Watch live to learn along with me whether I have caught my son’s norovirus.

It’s almost like the Sec of Defense has no idea what he is doing, and everyone in the Pentagon hates him so much, they are doing everything they can to avoid advising him on what needs to be done. And/or that he is so toxic that people are afraid to interact with him in almost any capacity.

Angry burrowing owl.

Good morning! 🪶

No lies detected.

OMG

This is an epic little hotrod. EPIC

Know what water fluoridation is correlated with?

Fewer cavities.

Lower heath costs.

Increased equity as a universal heath benefit.

Likely lower rates of heart disease by reducing rates of Streptococcus mutans in the blood stream.

Which again, lowers heath costs and increases equity.

One block in Noe Valley is covered with these incredible crocheted creatures. I'm not sure who the artist is, but I love this. #SanFrancisco #NoeValley

Heh heh heh…

We went there the night I proposed to my now wife.

I am sure the food was great, but can’t remember the details. Just that the kitchen sent out snacks and champagne and the waitstaff thanked me for not proposing during dinner.

It was perfect. I was so sad to read it had closed.

I ❤️ that story.

This whole thread is really important to read and understand.

Those of us that have been warning about Christian nationalism for many years now are feeling kinda angry that we are now here.
