I’m not even mad. That’s hilarious.

Holden Thorp is an institutionalist. He's been a university chancellor, provost, now EiC of Science. When institutionalists pull the fire alarm, we listen, because the call to action he issued this week exposes the dire nature of the threat we are facing. 1/ www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Didn’t really need a study to know this

The money was always there for the good things.

As a Jewish New Yorker, fighting antisemitism and hate is top of mind. But on the issue of Israel, Dan Goldman and I couldn’t be further apart. #NY10Debate

The Trump administration plans to drop its controversial $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund the president sought to compensate alleged victims of prosecutorial conduct under his predecessor, 2 senior administration officials told Axios.

Remember this thread every time some GOP elected uses a scientific study out of context to kill funding with a "$5 million dollars to study geckos feet? Not on my watch you wacky scientists!"

My view of the Statue of Liberty not blocked by wind turbine parts, fortunately. Note that she only looks at Brooklyn. Side-eyes Manhattan. Backside to Jersey.

They are assembling sections of wind turbines and they look like rocket segments from KSP

For this paper we took 1760 samples from 44 farmhouse yeast cultures, and found 577 unique yeast strains. www.garshol.priv.no/blog/440.html The question of how many strains there are in there that we never found has bothered me for years. By chance, I found a way to get at the answer. Thread.

I do not care for soap with added smells. I want soap to remove things from me, not add various perfumes I have to deal with the rest of the day. Anyway….

Damn they’re on to our speakeasy

An unapologetically angry post about what’s being done to US science:

Do you have Flock cameras in your neighborhood? Check here: maps.deflock.org

Can you smell this?

Welp- looks like everyone has moved on from The Epstein Files

Again, straight from Delaney Hall in Newark NJ: ICE just tear gassed Senator Andy Kim.

Goddamn So Cal can’t catch a break. This is not the chemical tank.

The main public-facing thing the Department of Homeland Security did for years after it was first established was to tell everyone exactly how scared to be at all times

Just saw a Fox News ad selling something called "Super Beta Prostate Advanced*

Ah well, nevertheless.

Tulsi Gabbard is resigning because she finished downloading all US intelligence to Putin & has nothing else to do

I’m coming up on 10 years in Brooklyn & I have a confession- I have no idea where “The Berkshires” are. And I don’t want to know. Actually, I don’t believe they exist. If they do I assume it’s all filthy hobbits.

Jasmine Clark will become the first Black woman with a science Ph.D. to serve in the U.S. House of Representatives. https://scim.ag/4dDZe6P

I gave it up last year. It’s slightly harder to buy my toothpaste in bulk

Everyone knows "1776" was *the* battle cry of the January 6 insurrectionists, right? I wrote a book on the armed rebellion Trump incited, and if you missed that his Terrorist Slush Fund is $1.776B *explicitly* to signal its aim of making MAGA terrorists rich, that's... a big miss.

You can’t say “I’m sorry, the talk radio banter is so inane I can’t take it. Can we turn it off?” to an Uber driver without sounding like an ahole

Schlitz to brew its last batch of beer Saturday

How does this get challenged & end up in front of SCOTUS? Not that they won’t just agree with it. I mean, I’d like to be surprised.

I feel that one way of expressing the combined effect of growing up, becoming socialized, getting an education, and having a personality is: not needing “all-day help… spoken into your ear privately” by Google

You can just shout “My baby! My baby!” and the subway conductor will open the doors for you.

Just STFU

I saw Drone Empire open for Squarepusher in ‘09

A new Dogma ‘95 of content that declares it used no AI in its creation. What are we calling this? (Also the director cannot be credited)

Oh we back! New load screen downage!

Me in 2016: “OMG people aren’t going to vote for Trump just because they saw a F’ing Facebook meme give me a break” How wrong I was.

This is insane. The terms of DOJ's slush fund appear to transfer control of $1.8 billion beyond US government entirely. Unless I'm misreading this, that would circumvent Congress *entirely* and put the money outside of *any* constitutional and/or legal constraints ofany kind. Straight up theft.
