Big thanks to @blindeke.bsky.social for talking to me about my silly project, and for raising more attention to the serious lack of lighting along the Greenway! www.minnpost.com/cityscape/20...

Nothing for California or North Carolina after natural disasters, instead Trump is sending money to a long-haired libertarian in Argentina who already blew through $20 billion from the IMF.

Murder, but with a car so no biggie! So much justice under your watch @ag.state.mn.us and @governorwalz.mn.gov Another judge in Minnesota who decided not to follow sentencing guidelines due to terminal car-brain. Heckuva job, fellas!!! www.startribune.com/1-year-sente...

Carl was prescient, wasn’t he? We’re there. Damn it.

Kimmel: "He might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from this now."

Jacob Frey's is Crocker Jarmon and RCV123 are Bill McKay #RCV123 #MPLS

Jesse Watters just called for the bombing of the UN on national television. FCC? Nothing? Crickets? Got it.

Sen. Classidy Clown on his sh$t again. #autism www.huffpost.com/entry/bill-c...

An interesting thing about the Kimmel show. I’ve never watched his show. Hubbard broadcasting owns both KSTP (Twin Cities) and KAAL (Austin). They’re running the show on KSTP but not KAAL. Next time the @startribune.com or others say that city folks “other” rural folks, point to this.

Summer’s long tail coming to an end.

New research is constantly confirming variations of the same basic fact: bicycling for transportation is an incredible way to fit a little bit of low intensity exercise into your daily routine (oh, and also to save a ton of money, and reduce carbon emissions, and improve your mental health).

Great overview of how these cuts will make it harder for local governments to implement traffic calming and promote car-free transportation. Drivers have always been a protected class in the U.S. but this administration is taking it to the extreme.

Just took a couple of Mucinex with acetaminophen to preload for the rapture.

Finstad is a bully and an ineffictive Congressman. He has failed his Ag district, the Mayo Clinic, small businesses, educational institutions and just about everyone. But, he has time to pick on a professor. What a petty, vindictive, little man. www.startribune.com/finstad-minn...

Anttonen et al. Zebra finches produce soft laryngeal whistles during thermal panting that are not adaptive vocal signals www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #ornithology

This is truly a solemn day Because if it hadn’t become clear already, the Tylenol press conference should’ve crystallized this fact: The world cannot trust the American government’s policies or pronouncements in matters regarding science or medicine Which renders everything else we do compromised

nice composition!

Pretty sure this rapture is a #nft

American Psychiatrist Association Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

they’re putting Kimmel back on the air. I would now like to see the same amount of outrage for the firing of professors for their statements

Who can guess where this passage, relevant to this moment, comes from? “When the end of the world doesn't occur on the predicted date, Jack decides to seek psychiatric assistance.” #rapture

Since Tylenol is being demonized by the regime, this seems an opportune moment to draw attention to some actual *research* by a fantastic former colleague of mine, Dr Erin Krebs. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

They gave up on pseudo-science, now it's anti-science. They no longer try to make it look like authentic science, instead the hook is, "this is not what the scientists and doctors tell you, and that's how you know you can trust it." Depressingly, this view controls the whole federal government.

Rank in any order you choose: Davis, Fateh and Hampton (I've listed them alphabetically).

There is a long history of blaming mothers for autism. It's total bullshit and we should call it out every chance we get. Shame these anti-science thugs into a corner. journalofethics.ama-assn.org/sites/joedb/... #autism

If you, like me, are the parent of a neuro-atypical child dreading this autism press conference, please remember: These are the people hurting our kids. Not us. They are the ones stigmatizing and pathologizing them. They are the ones peddling untested science. And we should be very, very angry.

It is representative of a *profound* failure of a country that this group of people are up there talking about medicine and science at all

Re-posting this again right now because the president is currently doing a press conference lying about Tylenol.

On this historic National Tylenol Causes Autism Day, the "RFK Jr makes some good points" people have been officially upgraded from assholes to extra-strength assholes.

This is public now so I'm sharing for anyone in West Central WI who might be able to show up to help locate Riley. Folks in Menomonie are getting alerts on their phones now and everything.

PSA:

New: The Trump family is now worth an estimated $10 billion, having nearly doubled its net worth since last year’s election. @danalexander21.bsky.social, @kylekhanmullins.bsky.social for @forbes.com

I do try to come out of my silo and listen to people like @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social but let’s acknowledge he celebrated the overturning of “settled law” when SCOTUS trashed Roe v. Wade. This has directly led to increased pregnancy-associated and infant deaths. @mprnews.org

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

Just checked this again - only 85% funded. Please donate and/or share again! Being in the hospital for weeks generally means A LOT of work and PT/OT after. Let’s help make it a little less stressful for someone who gives so much to our community 💜

Now with comments... Lots of comments (A long thread) 1/n

"Reader, be honest: Do you know what the N.I.H. does, beyond, well, health stuff?" Both @markhisted.org and I, along with many people on this site, know what NIH does–and with far more accuracy than the author (read the 🧵). I'll just add to the 🧵 that every problem…

This is the part of "Abundance" that I think we urgently need: our bureaucratic agencies/systems are not up to the task. They end up being small c conservative. And I think progressive mayors/govs/etc seem unwilling to think about what it would be like to explicitly reshape bureaucracy.

Zebra finches can not only distinguish the full range of their species’ vocalizations but also organize them by meaning—similar to what humans do, according to a new study in Science. https://scim.ag/4psyElY

This is what I would like media to ask the new CEO and new owners. What are they going to do to get the Lynx from 9k-10k a game to 15k+ in attendance. @terryhorstman.bsky.social @hansen13.bsky.social @randball.bsky.social @jonkrawczynski.bsky.social @cassidyhett.bsky.social

Big Tech's embrace of President Trump has left many of us wondering: What the hell happened to Silicon Valley? In our new politics issue, we're getting into it. Also, we're taking this cover across the US in billboards, posters and a mural. Clues to find us in the 🧵: www.wired.com/politics-iss...

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

hey political scientists, wake up, wild new country-pair just dropped.

For last 10 years - we have worked with thousands of organizations around the world helping support them in integrating foldscope programs. To bring in a new cohort of organizations - we are re-launching “fast and curious” 2025 edition - apply and get a Foldscope trainer and Foldscopes for free!

I like bugs! Took a break from sleeping to get these in the yard. #insects #bugs #Monarch #MPLS

As CNN offers daylong saturation coverage of the podcaster’s funeral, I went back and checked to see how CNN covered Melissa Hortman’s memorial on 6/28, where Walz spoke and Biden/Harris attended. It got about four minutes during the hours it was happening—less than Jeff Bezos’s wedding that day.

I admire my governor so much. It's time for all of us to speak up in the face of authoritarianism

EXCLUSIVE: Tom Homan was investigated for accepting $50,000 from undercover FBI agents. Trump's DOJ shut it down.
