Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth have repeatedly ordered mass murder.

Yet again, USA:

Require that your members of Congress do their jobs, end all of this, #ImpeachHegseth, and #ImpeachTrump.

Do not give them any choice otherwise.

We know that Trump is at least interacting with the most outrageous conspiracist "AI" slop nonsense being posted to his personal social-media echo chamber.

So it need not even be the opportunists he has surrounded himself with feeding him slop - just not calling him on it.

"Mille Lacs"

(Bde Maka Ska being pretty close to phonetic.)

For those of us in higher education this company has snaked its way into our institutions—and this is the kind of care and thought they put into the risks of their products.
Do you imagine our students are safe with these people?

I got a copy of Caskey Russell's "The Door on the Sea" from
@bookshop.org this week.

the endless warm drizzle of spring—the ice of Antarctica, falling softly on the heads of the children of those responsible for melting it.

Cool science. Not aliens.

🆕Researchers combed through images from ESA's #MarsExpress & #ExoMars spacecraft to find 1039 swirling dust devils 🌪️

Using these dust devils to track raging winds on Mars, their findings include that the strongest winds blow much faster than we thought!

Miyazaki: In this movie, environmental destruction as the result of unrestrained technological expansion & consumption nearly destroys a community and everyone living near it.

AI Bros: "We want all of the computers, all of the water, and all of the electricity to steal Miyazaki's style."

We could have eradicated measles by now.

But Andrew Wakefield lied and tortured children for money. And then far too many other people promoted the same lethal quackery.

Hold them all accountable.

My city government is sending community health workers begging people whose children have not been vaccinated against measles to get them their shots.

Yet again, #Minnesota:

Require that the state permit only verified medical exemptions to vaccine mandates.

And yet again, USA:

#ImpeachRFKJr.

I learn that as a result of the government shutdown, the FTC is not taking reports of fraud: reportfraud.ftc.gov

Meanwhile, upwards of 90% of inbound calls I receive continue to be robocall spam.

Trump and the Congressional GOP are actively enabling every fraudster trying to take your money, USA.

If the Catholic Church in the United States should schism right down the middle and kick out the JD Vance contingent, I would have no objection.

But I am just a former-Catholic atheist.

I have been re-reading Discworld lately; but I am currently in between the Witches and Rincewind sub-sets.

#ThingsActualScientistsSay

Today seems like a great day to re-up my slides from 2017 about the Nazi takeover of German physics, in part because in my estimation, a lot of American physicists in 2025 are confused about whether "agreeing to work with them" is resistance (it's not) and whether it works (it doesn't) 🧪⚛️

#HeraMission

Yet another lethally wrong appointment to tell your members of Congress to reverse, USA.

And hold the 51 GOP Senators responsible accountable.

#ImpeachMcMahon

This accounting of what's been going on at NASA is a gut punch.

It describes the preparations they're making for upcoming disastrous (AND ILLEGAL) cuts in funding, and the first losses of priceless facilities, hardware, and staffing.

Burning our investment.
Dismantling our future.
#saveNASA

Well then maybe we let the industry die? Just saying

Watch Claire Magone, MSF General Director, share the harrowing reality of hospitals in #Gaza, from inside #NasserHospital.

We call for an immediate halt to the violence and concrete measures to protect civilians. Israeli authorities must ensure safe access to humanitarian aid.

Absolutely true. And I’m glad he’s saying it.

Yet again, USA:

Require that your members of Congress do their jobs and end all of this.

And require also that they #ImpeachHegseth and #ImpeachTrump.

Thanks. I was trying to decide if I was seeing a pixel-scale color pattern or not.

The TESCREAL Bundle The array of utopian ideologies that power Silicon Valley's elite is ultimately bleakly eugenicist.

for those of you who are serious about understanding the eugenic lineage of the whole AGI movement, on the other hand, you can peruse some of the resources at www.dair-institute.org/projects/tes...

Is this deBayered or not?

I understood that reference.

Libraries Can’t Get Their Loaned Books Back Because of Trump’s Tariffs Libraries have shared their collections internationally for decades. Trump’s tariffs are throwing that system into chaos and can ‘hinder academic progress.’

The Trump administration’s tariff regime and the elimination of fee exemptions for items under $800 is limiting resource sharing between university libraries, trapping some books in foreign countries, and reversing long-held standards in academic cooperation.
