Babka just jumped onto my shoulder, from the ground, and stayed there for half an hour. I didn't know that she could do that, nor that she wanted to...but it sorta seems like she knew what song was playing when she did. #cats #catsky

Big news coming very soon....

New meme featuring @adambecker.bsky.social just dropped

I'm way behind on posting links to the podcast interviews I've done, but I'm trying to catch up. First up: this one from last month, which was particularly fun. Cathy is a friend and we had a blast with her co-host Jake! mathbabe.org/2026/03/09/a...

This is tonight, New Haven! See you there! #booksky

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

Spotted this sign in front of an empty lot with a dumpster in it, and I can't recall ever seeing a prestigious university put an entire nation's art on blast like this.

A lovely thread - thank you for this, @shannonvallor.bsky.social! #booksky

If you're anywhere near New Haven, come see me speak at Yale on Tuesday night! It'll be a particularly fun one, I think. Also they made a great poster for it! frankeprogram.yale.edu/event/more-e...

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this

A couple months ago the @nytimes.com asked me to review a book for them. It turned out to be one of the worst books I've ever read in my life. Today, they published my review: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/b...

This is just perfect. "Marc Andreessen is even shallower than our standard philosophical zombie — but still, I think there is a strong case he should be hunted and captured by the Stanford philosophy department so they can try their thought experiments out on him in real life."

Taxation is the compromise. The alternative, as history shows, is that the ultra-wealthy get dragged out of their homes. They should be taxed for their own good as well as ours. We can't maintain our democracy when these unelected and unaccountable kleptocrats hoard wealth on these scales.

hoooo boy it is strange seeing what my face does when @emilymbender.bsky.social and @alexhanna.bsky.social read me this particular piece of insanity

Astrophysicist @adambecker.bsky.social dispels the ridiculous idea of data centers in space on our latest episode of Mystery AI Hype Theater 3000. This was such a fun conversation. Check out episode 73: "Data Centers in Space!?” (with @emilymbender.bsky.social)

This was an especially fun conversation! Link in the thead below.

Hey @aedwardslevy.bsky.social, what do you make of this poll? manhattan.institute/article/the-... I ask because it's the source of this terrifying statistic that showed up in the NYT today, and I want to know how seriously I should take it. (NYT article is here: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/o...)

Found @adambecker.bsky.social's book sitting in an auspicious location in my local bookstore / bar / cafe, Nook & Nowhere! It's such a good book, y'all. So helpful for understanding what is happening the world right now.
