Gotta love that the list is getting long enough for that kind of slip up to happen - allowing for all of the issues still remaining!

Vermont?

Now this is a project I can get behind...

Showing our corporate overlords how to do things the right way!

and hoping against hope!

The Scientific Revolution of Interstellar Objects Recently, I was invited to attend a NASCAR car race on October 25, 2025 in Bakersfield, California, where one of the racers, Alex Malycke…

I am becoming increasingly concerned that the gravitational mass of Avi Loeb’s ego could perturb 3I/ATLAS right out of its orbit.

I wish Bluesky had a feature where if one person reposted post X and you already saw it, you dont also see the same repost from other people too.

I know you can hide posts, and i do, but i only do it once i had already gotten actively annoyed by seeing the same post over and over.

It’s like when medieval artists try to draw, say, an elephant from a verbal description alone, obviously having never seen one… but for banana “trees”!?

Who are the private donors funding the disgusting demolition of the East Wing of the people's house for Trump's $250M gilded ballroom?

There's a magical place above the clouds where TROLLS, ELVES, PIXIES, GHOSTS & GNOMES all live, according to SCIENCE.

Let's talk about the magical world of transient luminous events (TLEs), when our upper atmosphere becomes one big neon light.

Our perspective on lightning has been ground-based...

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.

Will the guy who imagines himself shitting on American civilians ever direct the military to start shooting them (again)? A total riddle.

The most dispiriting thought experiment is to imagine the wall-to-wall coverage if the MAGA fever dream of violent, rioting protesters happened anywhere yesterday.

Why do we pretend that the "they" here are not real people with names? The managing editors @nytimes.com are Carolyn Ryan and Marc Lacey. THEY are the terrible journalists who made this decision. They do not deserve to be anonymous.

Good on you - but that sign is a mile off the mark.

Down with kleptocracy!

He’s done a lot to dislike, but I think racking up catastrophic failures one after another has got to have severely given pause to anyone considering trusting one of these things with their life - moonshot or not. It’s going to take a *lot* of good launches to push the odds beyond suicidally awful.

They’re making solid progress on a plan that involves far fewer technological challenges than the US one.

The entire American economy is being held hostage to the whims of a guy who doesn’t understand how the economy works

Is now a bad moment to remind everyome that shipping volume in September was similar to that of 2020

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

1 in 100 children is born with a congenital heart defect. But there is no “artificial heart” device that exists for babies or young kids. The FDA has even identified this as an area of critical medical device need.

The Trump administration just canceled funding for clinical trials of such a device.

Also against publish or perish. IF the caliber of reasoning in his high-profile comet-as-UFO papers is representative, his 1000 some other publications cannot but degrade the journals they so profusely litter.

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

Review | To Steven Pinker, human knowledge is just a game In ‘When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows...,’ the best-selling cognitive scientist writes about an interesting subject but gets sidetracked by hobbyhorses

This review of Stephen Pinker’s new book is delicious: wapo.st/46TNpWq

Trump plan would limit disability benefits for older Americans Trump administration officials are considering eliminating age as a factor in deciding whether someone is capable of working.

Working forever wasn’t on my MAGA stupidity bingo card!

They’re days away from experimentally bombing some stateside trailer parks ‘cause meth.

Ah, they’re working on the commemorative collectibles for the year the country croaked collection!

Looking forward to what else they have in store for the survivors to grimly laugh about when they find them scattered and worthless in the post-apocalyptic wasteland they’re ushering to post haste.
