Peer review is broken. Academia broke it with publish or perish, and AI is picking over the carcase.

Nuclear War Would Cause a Global Famine and Kill Billions, Rutgers-Led Study Finds

A TIMELY REMINDER:
THERE IS NO SAFE PLACE IN A NUCLEAR WAR

World War 3 kinda sucks, but you know, it was either this or pronouns

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Wir haben mal ein paar Fakten zum Thema Klimakrise und Überreichtum gesammelt und dann noch ein paar Vorschläge für eine gerechte Klimapolitik (1/11) 💚

As an indication of the upside-down we are now living in, a Ukrainian friend who lives in Kyiv under the daily threat of aerial bombardment reached out to me today:

“Are you doing OK? I’ve been following the news about American universities and it sounds bad.” 🙃

What we didn't learn from Depp v. Heard On the three-year anniversary of the verdict, the cycle of DARVO and misogyny continues.

On the three-year anniversary of the verdict in Depp v. Heard, I wrote about realizing the terrible truth that she was, in fact, the victim—and seeing the DARVO playbook weaponized against endless women online and in the courts ever since.

I‘m sorry you have to go through this! Please remember that all of this is the effect of the patriarchal indoctrination and that you don’t have to bow to it 💜

We despise immigrants for not putting down roots, even as we make sure that it is impossible for them to do so. We do this because we have no idea what we want.

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

REI Co-op members reject company board picks after union campaign The outdoor retailer drew criticism for blocking union-backed candidates from the ballot and for its initial support of a Trump appointee.

As a 40+ year member of REI, I am excited to see the membership vote to reject the hand-picked slate of candidates after rejecting putting two REI union backed candidates on the ballot. Put Tefere and Shemona on the next ballot!

This photograph captures Sir David Attenborough seated outdoors on the rugged terrain of Skomer Island. Behind him, the ocean and coastal cliffs form a scenic backdrop under a clear sky. Sir David, dressed in a khaki jacket and light trousers, looks towards the camera with a gentle expression, exuding a sense of warmth, calm, and wisdom. Around him, puffins can be seen flying and perched on the rocky ground, illuminated in rays of golden sunlight as the sun sets behind the cliffs.

Happy 99th birthday to the man who gave voice to the wild. 🎉

Sir David Attenborough, thank you for a lifetime dedicated to the natural world, and for sharing its story with wisdom, wonder, and grace.

You've inspired generations to fall in love with nature.
