β€œMany of their commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in 100% accordance with fundamentalist Christian end of the world eschatology.”

Met someone who spent their career building programs to support underrepresented scientists at all career stages. We asked what he wished he knew earlier. He said he wished he knew how to make these programs sustainable, so that his life work didn't crumble with a change in leadership.

How come β€œHow are you going to pay for it?” is never asked about endless war?

There are two wolves inside you. One will only eat while in your arms, and the other will not move an inch until you have exited the premises for at least an hour.

That’s actually two cats. And they’re inside my apartment.

I feel like it's almost too obvious a point, but we all heard plenty from fascists in the 1930s and 40s. They got to make the case to the whole world and you can't say they didn't get a fair hearing. Anyway, in the end we decided to destroy them.

β€œWe didn’t vote him in! He cheated!” - the US political system allowed for that man to win power either way. I’m sorry but American power monopoly has been a scourge on the world for a LONG time. A country that has been at war for most of its 250 years of existence is not innocent.

Trite but true: If you ever wondered how German’s reacted to the whittling away of rights for Jews, Roma, gays and lesbians . . . you’re watching it happen in real time.

We canceled research training for undergraduates because America needed the money for this instead.

They've monetized and incentivized committing crimes against humanity.

It's a scandal on par with Pete Rose betting on baseball, if Pete Rose were undersecretary of defense, and baseball was murdering civilians with bombs.

UNC-CH Will β€˜Scrap’ New Recording Policy, Chancellor Says The move comes less than three weeks after the controversial rules were enacted.

Congrats to @ncaaup.bsky.social & all who fought against this surveillance policy that would've allowed admin to hijack microphones in the classroom for secret recordings.

This move would've chilled classroom discussion & suppressed students' willingness to ask questions & take intellectual risks.

There are several ways a dictatorship can transition to a democracy. A foreign power assassinating the dictator in an unprovoked war isn't one of them.

We are the ones who trained AI. Our data was fed to it. Our public dollars also funded the R&D. Universal basic income NOW, not only to create a floor that the displaced can't fall below, but also to universally share what we all made possible. UBI is a dividend. It's just. It's rightful. It's ours.

I continue to be fascinated by the phenomenon whereby an expert engages with any of the LLMs on their field of expertise and is instantly horrified by the wrong answers, and then goes on to use it for things they are not experts in as though it won’t be just as bad for those.

Comparison of (a) a simplified cartoon of the modern Earth marine P cycle with (b) a conceptual model of a possible pelagic planet P cycle. Due to anoxic conditions in the ocean and the absence of subaerial continents, the P cycle of a pelagic planet must differ from that of Earth.

Pospurus is one of the building blocks of life, and how much and how fast it gets to the ocean has dramatic effects on marine productivity. It comes mostly from mineral sources, and not every planet will have the reactions to mobilize it. πŸ§ͺ

We genuinely need a revival of virtue in the United States.

In my view, that’s almost as critical a project as any other structural reform project necessary in the wake of trumpism. We should become a society that actually values human life such that we would feel shame about this.

What happened in Kansas is *exactly* why you need to get rid of Newsom at the primary.

He will not protect trans people.
He will not protect homeless people.
He will not protect anyone.He considers outside of the cultural norm.

... that's Republican shit.

Growing up, I never heard a woman described as a β€œgenius.” Not even Madame Curie. β€œGenius” meant β€œmale.” I never noticed this as a child. We weren’t meant to notice.
