Nobody has ever needed to pay for a lot of what this guy wants people to pay for, because they can do it themselves. So these people have to decay that functioning by force, and then they can sell people a sorry substitute for it.

Rep. Joe Neguse is calling for a federal investigation after a whistleblower alleged Trump administration officials discussed transferring part of NCAR’s space weather program to a private company. boulderreportinglab.org/2026/03/09/n...

Go home everyone, this is the best one

This is depressing but there was also a general cultural backlash to disco as a genre at the same time it was popular that continued for a while after. I think this was more about "cringe" than "old" (I say this as a disco lover)

I too have fond memories of the happy innocence of america when I was a child (a meatgrinder war in Vietnam, huge constitutional crisis with watergate on the horizon, gas shortages, inflation, political assassinations, etc etc)

The war in Iran has taken one-third of the world’s helium supply off the market. And if the conflict continues for more than 2 weeks, disruption for helium users could take months to resolve. #chemsky 🧪

Now I'm not sure why Politico uses "Chang" there because the next sentence clarifies.

O'Neill, an investor in anti-aging technology who worked on HHS policy, would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead NSF. His background will be a 'major concern' to the science and technology community, former NSF director Neal Lane told me. @maxkozlov.bsky.social and I report:

One of the first things I learned as a professor is that accommodations don’t make the class/assessment easier — they just make it inclusive. Doing a moral panic on accommodations is just gross and ableist.

I just want to say this isn't universal. When you find an editor-journal combo who manages to avoid this situation for most papers... Keep submitting your work to them

Additionally, I want to speak directly to Iranian New Yorkers: you are part of the fabric of this city — you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here.

if zohran mamdani would like to appear on sesame street first of all i think he should insist on a return to the tone of the early show (urbanism for children) and second of all i think he and big bird and oscar should sing "the mayor is a person in your neighborhood"

Really NYT, did she "grow irate"? Do people usually speak in full eloquent paragraphs when they do that? www.nytimes.com/2026/02/26/u...

But it's not just that MORE coal was burned last year. Coal was being burned DIRTIER, with more air pollution per amount of electricity produced—because operation of installed air pollution control equipment was being reduced or turned off. As my colleague, Amanda Levin, explained to the WSJ: 6/

"The rise in sulfur-dioxide emissions last year was driven largely by more coal being burned to generate electricity. Coal generation increased 13% in 2025, compared with a 3% decline for natural gas, according to the Energy Information Administration." Coal, not beautiful, definitely not clean. 5/

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Incredible story that is worth your time to read. It exposes the ways in which the Trump admin is turning the legal immigration system into yet another arm of the mass deportation machine, transforming a benefits agency into a trap for those seeking legal status.

The FAA has abruptly lifted its unprecedented ten day closure of El Paso airspace. Previously, no advanced notice was given and no justifiable explanation had been provided. This rash decision will erode trust in public safety.
