As awful as it is, it does seem like ICE, used to raiding anonymous Home Depots and farm worker buses, may not have considered the full political dimensions of conducting masked authoritarian-style abductions across the street from cafes and offices holding half the working journalists in America.

I live in DC and bicycle around all parts. I have not seen anything like that in over 20 years.

ANDOR is a stunning achievement (not just for Star Wars, but film/television in general). Tony Gilroy, Diego Luna, and company have crafted the definitive commentary on modern society and politics. The best Star Wars show of all time.

I know, I get so angry when I got to a French restaurant and the menu French words on it. I mean the only French I know is French fries!

I don’t think Trump cars about tariffs and only cars about the market and putting us into a recession. He wants us to quickly go there so he can blame the prior administration for causing it.

Then he and his “republican” cohorts can “be the saviors” to swoop in and to save the day.

Fascism 101

I see that the left think they got victory points on the protests this weekend. I do see it as a positive sign, but as long at the Democratic Party is not a United front, then it will not mater. We need strong leadership to bring the left together like Trump did for the right.

Gutting the US Centers for Disease Control & Prevention will cause irreparable harm. What RFK Jr. and the Trump Administration are doing to the CDC isn’t reform—it’s sabotage.

Read today’s newsletter for more on the catastrophic damage that will result from the destruction of US public health and science agencies:

When did human language emerge? Humans’ unique language capacity was present at least 135,000 years ago, according to a survey of genomic evidence. As such, language might have entered social use 100,000 years ago.

When did Human Language emerge? [via MIT] 🧪🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🗣️📜

"Our species, #Homosapiens, is [~] 230,000 years old. Estimates of when #language originated vary widely, based on different forms of evidence, from fossils to cultural #artifacts."

So you are saying essentially that if he is not prepared to quit that government job, he needs to go.

This diagram shows the orbits of 128 newly discovered moons of Saturn.

Things are a big mess around Saturn.

A new study has identified 128 more moons around the planet, bringing the total to 274. And a whole group of Saturn's moons seem to be shattered bits from a collision in the (astronomically) recent past. 🧪🔭

A photograph of the supernova 2025efa in the galaxy PGC 44317 with a bright "star" -- the supernova -- in the outer part of the galaxy which has a central brighter core.

🌟 Last night I took more images of supernova 2025efa in PGC 44317 (220 million light-years), again from the backyard. Data analysis using ASTAP shows the Type Ia supernova has increased in brightness by a factor of 3.3 over the past 3 days and is now at mag. 16.3V. 🔭 🧪

Wild bees thrive among diverse flower communities, Concordia study shows - Concordia University A mix of corolla sizes offers strong opportunities to promote urban biodiversity, according to Carly Ziter.

A nice write up on former MSc student Serena Sinno's work on urban pollinator conservation (that I missed - since Concordia is still over there tweeting on X 🤦). www.concordia.ca/news/stories.... Dedicated students measured hundreds of flowers to show the importance of floral trait diversity!

Kelly: I think it's probably the worst 50 days of any presidency I can think of in my life. It's been, you know, pretty much a shit show since day one…
