Fox News uses old clip of Trump after he wore hat while saluting slain US soldiers

What in the absolute fuck is this.

"They combined a telescope, a periscope, and a high-speed UV camera and mounted the device on a 2013 Toyota Sienna. Then they spent the summer of 2024 chasing storms from Florida to Pennsylvania." 🌩 www.science.org/content/arti...

Religious loonies in charge of the US military “urged us to tell our troops that this was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.” … Yikes.

"Dept of War, FAA, and CBP are working together in an unprecedented fashion..." The military is shooting down CBP's drones, CBP is shooting at party baloons, and both disrupt air traffic – so yes, cooperation between these federal agencies is unlike it's ever been before. apnews.com/article/mili...

If you’re at #BPS2026, go look at Poster B49. Caroline Cannistra has some very detailed all-atom simulations of HIV capsid protein, and SHE CROCHETED A MODEL OF IT to demonstrate the dynamics.

“In light of this apparent failure to grasp the basic requirements of the ambassadorial mission, the minister has requested that [Kushner] no longer be allowed direct access to members of the French government” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/f...

With immunisation rates declining and outbreaks of infectious diseases like measles increasing, the consequences of vaccine hesitancy in Australia are becoming clearer.

In line with the history of alpine navigation, cross-country skiers now have the motivation of being chased over the finish line by a wolf.

mom they’re roasting the US economy on mastodon again

Unconscionably destructive behaviour, burning the safety of the country and people they're sworn to protect (and likely the world) for venal vanity.

“Maybe a better way to look at this is ‘people preparedness’. One way for people to be prepared (for the next pandemic) is to be healthier, eat better and exercise, so you’re less likely to get sick or have a poor outcome,” Powers added. Right. This will protect you from a novel pathogen.🤦‍♂️

I didn’t realize being a pedophile was an actual job requirement. The entire Trump regime is staffed with partiers from Epstein Island.

They'd find more criminals by just screening the people who apply to be ICE agents. But, of course, catching criminals was never the point.

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Scientists show a bonobo can play make-believe; sign him up for the lab #D&D night ;) www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adz0743 OK, the experiment was more like LARP, but still.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

RIP Dr William Foege, who understood what the CDC is for (before it became just CD). Stamping out preventable infectious diseases should be a duty a priority for every nation. The US should be proud of leading the eradication of smallpox and (very nearly) polio.

While they're at it, might as well rename the CDC to just CD.

Considering nobody has given me a shiny gold prize for being a decent human being I no longer feel an obligation to be a decent human being

Trump and his son-in-law are setting up their own (not USA's) East India Company to rule and plunder Gaza, with some of the worst people imaginable paying $1bn each (again, to Trump, not to the US) to join in.

Okay, here's the story of George de Hevesy vs the Nazis! I really do love telling this story. First, some background: George de Hevesy was a Hungarian-Jewish chemist, but he spent most of his career post-1920 attached to the Niels Bohr institute at the University of Copenhagen, in Denmark. (1/n)

Reuters' recap of #StarWars includes "the popular character Baby Yoda", then goes on to talk about upcoming movie 'The Mandalorian and Grogu.' 🙄

"Investors in xAI’s most recent public fundraising rounds—the latest of which, announced during this #Grok enabled sexual-harassment spree ... include Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Fidelity Management & Research Company, ..." Shame on all of these vultures.

Haikus are harder to spot when they're not written in three-line format.

The fire burning in north-east Victoria near Walwa was so fierce it generated its own weather this afternoon, including a substantial pyrocumulonimbus cloud with lightning and thunder.

It's a base map. You already have it. Why was AI involved at all? futurism.com/artificial-i...

This is a thread of major media outlets falsely anthropomorphising the "Grok" chatbot program and in doing so, actively and directly removing responsibility and accountability from individual people working at X who created a child pornography generator (Elon Musk, Nikita Bier etc) #1: Reuters

Not enough young men are getting vaccinated against HPV, and it's undermining the elimination of cervical cancer. If more boys receive the vaccine it will save numerous lives from HPV-associated cancers, including cervical, anal, penile & oral cancers. www.sciencealert.com/vaccinating-...

"But what if..." No. I do not want the AI scam I do not like it, Sam-Alt-Man I do not want it stealing art It shouldn't touch my shopping cart I do not want it my meetings Or to compose my Christmas greetings I do not want it in my car It can't replace my dead grandma ... [Add your own verses]

I wouldn't want to be in their shoes

How is this different from saying 'We want poor people to get less healthcare'?

Me at the end of the day

Astonishing statement from Victorian Attorney-General to @thesaturdaypaper.com.au – Essentially, 'We know it's bad for kids, bad for society, and breaks our own rules; we're going to do it anyway.'

“The way people consume information has changed enormously in the last 10 years but the way politicians and MPs communicate with their constituents hasn’t as much.”

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity. [Not just Matt, but the whole CR team give me hope for the future of humanity]
