These are shells of dust coming off a pair of tightly bound stars, newly imaged by #JWST. There is such beauty in the universe.

Anyone would be lucky to work for @oliviamesser.bsky.social she is one of my all time favorite humans. And she runs an amazing team and an amazing paper. 👇

NYC strong baby

This all-male panel is deciding whether South Carolina women can be charged with murder for their pregnancies — and whether birth control and pro-choice websites stay legal. This a real thing happening today. Don't look away.

"things happen"

Is it a threat to free speech when the President of the United States threatens to yank the broadcast license of a channel whose reporters are asking him challenging questions? I ask because I feel like there used to be tons of pundits worried about free speech. Where'd they go?

The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose 29%. (Published May)

If any AI companies see this:please stop offering me jobs or money to train your programs on how to tell stories and write better. I would rather eat a worm. I would rather get a tooth pulled. I would rather get a really nasty paper cut. I am morally and creatively against everything you stand for.

In a win for polluters, the Trump regime proposed a rule to limit the EPA’s authority to regulate pollution in wetlands and waterways. This would strip federal protections from 55 million acres of wetlands (85% of all wetlands nationwide!), threatening lots of people's drinking water.

You know that scene in Raiders of the Lost Arc where the Nazi’s face melts off? I think about that a lot.

When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.' people.com/donald-trump...

I'm sorry, but what — and I cannot state this loudly or angrily enough — the flying f––?

I love my editors and am forever thankful for them.

So, like, are our technolords capable of reading to the end of the wikipedia article before they pick a name?

The NY Times literally had evidence from a highly trusted confidante that Trump was a sexual deviant and sat on it while hounding Clinton about her emails Where is the outrage about this? Where are the Telegraph and the talking heads harping on about BBC bias? theintercept.com/2025/11/14/e...

The parenthetical is my favorite bit of the article

what the actual fuck

What’s interesting is that human brains are hard wired for empathy—it serves a very important social and biological purpose as connection is vital for our survival—to lose empathy for most people, it must be trained out of you, systematically and consistently

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

Wow, great for aurora bad for telecomms

trump made the prosecutor who gave epstein a pass the secretary of labor!

This is essentially the theme of the movie Minority Report. Again, please stop taking what he says seriously. He’s now mixing movies with transformer references. This is delusion with a publish button.

scoop: one of the largest renewable energy projects in the u.s. is quietly getting killed say goodbye to leading light, the latest casualty of trump’s war on offshore wind (also means there is essentially no more offshore wind in progress at all for new jersey)

What a time to be alive with all this free dystopian comedy

The climate crisis is one of the top most severe threats to human existence, alongside nuclear war and a massive asteroid. It blows my mind how many leaders choose to just whistle past the grave. This isn’t some event on some obscure future date—it’s already happening.

It’s really important that people who hold high office are educated and read books and know basic things about basic things. This is what happens when that doesn’t happen
