“we reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and completely ignored it all because we are fuckin dumbasses who want millions of people to die”

Honestly, I don't think you are being belligerent enough.

Sorry about the rat though. Sounds awful.

White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.

Call HHS and tell them it's a bad idea & to restore the program, & call your reps www.hhs.gov/about/contac...

Let’s Look at height!

In this sample of 693 elite athletes, the shortest athlete was a man!

The difference between the shortest and the tallest woman is in the area of FEET, but the average differences between M & W are measured by INCHES.

This is true for all characteristics.

RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775.
I'd also call your senators/reps as well.

University of Oregon worked on somw efficient & contained field burning machines a while back.
The one designed by my grandfather used the exhaust from the burning to power the mobile burner & it was a great alternative to other methods of weed control. It was considered too slow though.

I've only been able to start working on Abolitionist Toyery in earnest since this past weekend. Stop by on Sunday. Open to people aged 5 and up. Spread the word far and wide! www.eventbrite.com/e/1467839370...

August 1, 2025 Dr.Julio Frenk Chancellor Jniversity of California -Los Angeles 2147 Murphy Hall Los Angeles, CA 90095 Ref: Updated Notice of Award Suspensions Dr. Frenk: I write you with an update on our prior letter of July 30, 2025. This letter supplements our previous communication. Pursuant to 2 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) $ 200.339(c), and our previous communications, UCLA is officially notified that the National Science Foundation (NSF) is hereby suspending the attached list of grant awards to the University of California Los Angeles UCLA). UCLA should immediately cease all activities on these award numbers. The purpose of this action is to address concerns reported and observed in UCLA programs and ensure compliance with applicable Federal statutes and regulations, and the terms and conditions of these Federal awards. This action is effective 7/30/2025. Noncompliance: NSF has identified the following specific examples of noncompliance: . UCLA engages in racism, in the form of illegal race-based preferences in admissions practices; • UCLA fails to promote a research environment free of antisemitism and bias; . UCLA discriminates against and endangers women by allowing men in women's sports and private women-only spaces.

‼️ Trump's NSF is demanding UCLA violate CA law and ban trans women from college bathrooms, dorms, and sports, in order to restore illegally withheld NSF grants.

After other universities capitulated to these ridiculous demands, UCLA students and staff must ensure UCLA doesn't follow.

Yeah, but they might be like those tech bros that had that school where computers & phones were banned.

I'm looking for a good way to help out w/o stepping on folks toes. So far I've been donating to some community organizations & boycotting Texas beef seems good too.

We can't eat our way out of a creeping bellflower invasion. But we can chew through other tough problems, like shaping food systems around consumerism. Or thinking it's weird to pull a weed out of the park and eat it. My latest for the @startribune.com

Seize the Press was a huge inspiration for Typebar Magazine so please throw them some $$$ if you can!

Aragorn is a cautionary tale.
& very well cast because he's cute, but that doesn't mean he's not a traiwreck.

In my book, I show that an eviction can ruin someone's life *even if it never happens.* A mere eviction FILING—even one dismissed in court—can destroy your credit and lock you out of housing for years.

That's why I say people aren't "falling" into homelessness. They're being pushed.

She’s an icon, she’s a legend and she is the moment. Now come on now.

Shocked, shocked at this wholly unexpected turn of events.

If only someone had made a free downloadable comic which explained why this might happen and why his tariff policy is a ticking bomb.

I know just what you mean. Hopefully it stops soon.

I tend to automatically check for rock slides.

Engineer restores pay phones for free public use In a rural Vermont county, spotty cell phone coverage is the norm. But a local tinkerer is using old technology to help his community stay connected free of charge.

This is a cool project. Free public phones.

This article reminds me that these stories are excellent & more people should know about them.

International students should go elsewhere for the foreseeable future. This is absolutely ridiculous.

Big retro vibes.
