We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

Literally my alarm clock this morning.

This will help you find a public radio or television station that stands to lose 50 percent or more of its revenue:

The largest protests in US history being completely peaceful demonstrate pretty clearly who the violent agitators are

Authoritarians want you to feel isolated and alone, to feel like their vision of the world is the only one.

That’s why taking part in public protests matters. You connect with other people like you and you show those numbers off to the world. It’s a great feeling. Try it!

Scientists at Loughborough University create 'world's smallest violin' The violin is smaller than a human hair and has "laid the groundwork" for future research.

filling time on air until the new pope is announced is known as "pontiffication"

Your School House Rock moment......

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Promises, promises.

A screengrab from Twitter. HeatherLhaney @heather_l... asks: “Why do you think we have so many more kids with Autism” David Dennis Jr. @DavidDTSS quotetweets this reply: “Probably for the same reason there are so many more planets in outer space now than there were before the telescope was invented”

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

I’m watching Succession right now, and it’s as if every single Roy family member’s id has been concentrated in one person. But, like, none of the cunning.

… Is the mail delivered into the Easter bunny’s keister?!

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Pulling Stefanik nom is a sign of GOP panic. If they think her R+20 district would be in play were she to leave, they realize they are in deep political peril re: 2026. As they are.

“And then he ran into my knife. He ran into my knife *ten times*.”

If you can’t be trusted to admit when you are wrong then you can’t be trusted to do what’s right. This is about running. This is not about running.

(1) If it’s a statutory challenge: convince Congress to pass a law.

(2) If it’s a constitutional challenge: try to amend the Constitution.

(3) If that fails: rally voters to elect politicians to do (1) and/or (2).

(4) If that also fails: question whether he is wildly popular.

Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump). • Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges. • Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side. • A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush. • The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

the tesla protest might objectively be among the most successful in history already just in terms of immediate response, if you consider they forced the world’s most powerful person & its most wealthy to fully degrade themselves like used car salesmen on live TV while the whole world watched agog.

That’s Gold Team-level sass right there.

Something that’s very clear is that Trump is old and checked out. He wants to play the role of president but has zero interest in doing the job and is happy to outsource the real work to Musk, Vought and a crew of feral zealots.

To all my Bluesky friends, please join me in this effort to fight back and protect our democracy! 💙

REU = Research Experience for Undergraduates. It's a program where undergrads do scientific research with a faculty advisor and a small peer cohort. I know a bunch of people who've done one as undergrads, and it was formative for all of them.
