Christ when he’s done with a two year “reno” on the Kennedy center it’s just gonna be a giant golden Olive Garden.

Not sure about you but when I play "doctor's office" with my toddler, we break out out all the baby Black & Decker tools: table saw, circle saw, hand saw, fire torchy thing, you know... the essentials. #SteamPunkToddler #BackToBasics #EverythingButTheLeeches

Academics vying for a spot in Epstein‘s world. There are so many. I feel the need to make a thread, so I don’t keep confusing them. 1/

They are not “like the gestapo.” They’re slave catchers. The nazis learned from the Jim Crow south. This will never stop until we, as a country of immigrants whose success was built on that legacy, reckon with that. #TruthReconciliationReparations

Kudos to non-political influencers who are fed up and using their platforms to express outrage re: execution of #AlexPretti. They’re right #youreNotMadEnough wapo.st/3Z1VTra (gift link)

If you’re trapped at home in the snow losing your mind about MN, there’s loads you can do to support from afar. Those communities need money to keep up their #mutualAid. I just gave here: www.wfmn.org/funds/immigr... #Hope #resistance #nothingtoosmall #dowhateveryoucan

If you haven’t figured out how you’re going to play a part in the resistance, you’re complicit. If you’re a wealthy, educated, legal immigrant who isn’t paying attention or raising the alarm, ur complicit. There are no model minorities. Just where you were born, how you sound and what you look like.

Philly upon news that ICE is coming to town…

This is what happens when you stay disciplined and don't give up. #StayInTheFight #DefendResearch #StandUpForScience #DefendResearch

Amidst the madness (✊to our MN friends), it's easy to lose track of the impact of #censorship on #science #STM #R&D. @defendresearch.bsky.social kicks off 2026 convo series w/ experts @penamerica.bsky.social @ninajankowicz.com @jeremymberg.bsky.social. Sign up for Feb 12 - SHARE!

My quote of the day Where you see wrong or inequality or injustice, speak out, because this is your country. This is your democracy. Make it. Protect it. Pass it on. Thurgood Marshall

#researchsoftware makes modern science possible - but sustaining it is hard. That’s why Open Science NL partnered with the @esciencecenter.bsky.social and awarded it €5.4M to execute the Research Software Sustainability Programme: www.openscience.nl/en/news/open... #foss, #oss, #opensource

@mattyglesias.bsky.social what is the better deal that US can offer Greenland? Universal healthcare? Cities free from occupation? Endless corruption? Cold hard cash I guess but I’m not sure what else we have… #Greenland #FFS

#academicsky #sciencesky @defendresearch.bsky.social is kicking of this terrible year with new webinar series on the dangers of #censorship in #science. We start Feb 12 with @penamerica.bsky.social and their report "America's Censored Campuses" REGISTER and SHARE: tinyurl.com/437aybub

Joint statement by the eight European countries targeted by Trump’s 10% tariff: 🇩🇰🇫🇮🇫🇷🇩🇪🇳🇱🇳🇴🇸🇪🇬🇧 “Tariff threats undermine transatlantic relations and risk a dangerous downward spiral. We will continue to stand united and coordinated in our response. We are committed to upholding our sovereignty.”

This is a HUGE win…and one that happened because we ~collectively~ said “NO!” But AAAS coming in and saying on record to the NYT “Science is doing ok. Things are not bad at all…” is baffling. If things are hard for you as a scientist, please share in the comments. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/10/s...

Take it from a political theory nerd, there’s irony here. Plato’s most famous text - the republic - is fundamentally a very conservative approach to how “the polis” should be governed. Admittedly the symposium is much much spicier but still…. #ReadABook

i don’t think the intention of noting the victim’s citizenship is to imply that one life is more valuable, but rather to shake anyone out of complacency and apathy if they assumed their passport would shield them from the violence and brutality of their own government

So much for #AmericaFirst and #NoForeignWars… 😮‍💨

This is 2026 for me. You might see a little less activity, a little more reflection. Wishing everyone here more rest and recovery as we enter winter. New year is MARCH, not now! Keep resting or you’ll crash out in September. (Trust me, I know) #happynewyear

#palantir ads have a real “we’re not evil I promise” energy…

Still up. Glad I posted here and not YouTube. This is what Bari Weiss and CBS tried to hide from us.

Giving boomers and Gen X smart phones will be the downfall of all of us…

@amtrak.com - I am 2.5 hours into a (2 hours delayed) train from NY to DC with no heat in my car and not a single comment from staff that OTHER CARS HAD HEAT. Now 15 min away from DC w/another hour drive home and can’t feel my feet. @amtrak.com - make it right #Acela2196 6pm from MYN —> WAS

I got sucked into a convo with a guy who calls taxes "evil extortion," and I'm deeply regretting my choices as I sit here in a super safe neighborhood with great schools and great services... paid for by taxes. #TFP

I’m in the Starbucks like watching a non-boomer pay in cash. What is this rare animal??
