How to Think (and Act) Like a Dissident Movement AOC, solidarity, and people power.

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

When you embrace pseudoscience and cut funding to legitimate science, this is the inevitable consequence. 75% of US scientists who answered Nature poll consider leaving

Hundreds gather in front of NOAA campus in Boulder to protest recent federal firings Former U.S. Congressman David Skaggs organized the protest in front of the research center building that bears his name

“What I’m upset about is that half the country thinks we’re villains because we’re federal workers. We’re people, we have families. It’s awful.”

Hundreds gather in front of NOAA campus in Boulder to protest recent federal firings.

Experts sound alarm over 'ticking time bomb' that could rip through Texas: 'We're sitting here waiting for [it] to explode' The only state subject to more wildfires than Texas is California.

Which US state has the most billion dollar weather and climate disasters?

It’s not California and it’s not Florida - it’s Texas.

As this article explains, the only state subject to more wildfires than Texas is California. Texas even leads California in acreage burned.

The week-long Amazon boycott starts THIS FRIDAY. (Although forever is better...)

CSPAN Caller from West Virginia: I’m a diabetic and I’m on Medicare. When Biden was in there, my insulin was $6 for a 28 day supply. I just went to CVS, it went back up to $80…

Wise man in a sweater in his home library 📚 contemplating: I don't know what word in the English language --I can't find one-- applies to people who are willing to sacrifice the literal existence of organized human life so they can put a few more dollars into highly stuffed pockets. The word 'evil' doesn't even begin to approach it. ~Noam Chomsky

Wise man…

U.S. early-career researchers struggling amid chaos Uncertain funding, government firings, and distressed universities hit vulnerable groups especially hard

A whole generation of early career scientists and physician-scientists, including colleagues and myself, are particularly vulnerable to these funding freezes and cuts, with jobs and careers depending on federal grants.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.

H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

Physics History August 1856 Well over a century later, female historians rediscovered Foote’s work — and were themselves overshadowed.

A little reminder for everyone who says, "It takes more time to prove or disprove manmade climate change".

The greenhouse effect has been experimentally observed ...

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

Creepy ugh

Rest In Peace, Jules Feiffer. Died just shy of his 96th birthday, but he was still as vital as ever, plugging away on his next book. The way 2025's been going, I'm not surprised we lost our greatest living cartoonist less than a month into it.

Just 57 companies linked to 80% of greenhouse gas emissions since 2016 Analysis reveals many big producers increased output of fossil fuels and related emissions in seven years after Paris climate deal

57 companies are responsible for 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions since 2016.

These companies include fossil fuel giants like Chevron, Shell, and BP, who have been raking in record profits.

The profits of Big Oil should not be more important than the future of our planet.

Yes!
