Things are unraveling and they know it. Expect a lot of bags of shit to be thrown around.

To Pam Bondi and Kash Patel: We demand a full investigation of Renee Goodโ€™s killer, Jonathan Ross. Stop investigating her widow.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Hi. Hello.

If you don't "believe" germ theory, you probably shouldn't be the head of HHS in 2025.

We said what we said. Send skeet.

Researchers developed an all-optical method based on optical excitation for krypton-81 atom counting for dating ice cores up to 1.5 million years old, opening a window into Earth's past climates.

Host a teach in. Share science with your community....protest style! Calling back to the teach ins of 1965, we are taking to parks, pubs, & churches to tell our neighborhoods about how the budget cuts will impact them.

Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30.

We know, it's a big goal.

If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform *your* community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

It is the government's responsibility to protect the lives of We The People, whenever possible.

The NWS and NOAA have developed and maintained an effective, lifesaving system. It benefits ALL PEOPLE in the US to continue to fund weather alerts.

The attack must stop!

Tyrant Philosophers Series The Final Architects, Shards of Earth, Eyes of the Void, Lords of Uncreation by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Wanted to vent about how the world is horrible, but instead I'm just going to spread the joy and recommend all fans of fantasy literature check out @aptshadow.bsky.social's The Tyrant Philosophers series.

Highly recommended if "darker, less whimsical Discworld" sounds like your jam.
