BREAKING: The UN General Assembly has voted to allow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to address the annual gathering of world leaders next week via video after the US said it would not give him a visa to travel to New York. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/4nih6d

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya frames the agency’s decision to pivot from mRNA vaccine research as a response to a “crucial test” that mRNA supposedly failed: earning public trust. This framing conflates public trust with scientific validity, which is flat out wrong.

Also the number of AI generated posters this year? For an arts and culture festival it’s quite a slap in the face to see individuals using stolen, eco-terrorism drivel to market their shows. 😒 you know who you are

Fringe regularly puts out citizens of the city and costs the city massive amounts of money and puts a strain on local resources. When does Fringe plan to give back?

Even Glastonbury takes a year off to allow for the environment to heal the land where they hold the festival but Fringe never actually does an eco-approach to the work. And! Yet again the LLC in charge is in London so much of the Fringe money never goes back to City of Ed.

“Oh it’s so unbearably hot during the @edfringe.bsky.social now!” But we won’t have a conversation about how the festival has gotten way too big each year and is causing massive carbon emissions and does nothing to offset that. #climatechange #festivalfringe #cancelfringe

Yet again: Managers do not have to follow illegal orders.

back from vacation (a week ago) and about to make it everyone’s problem

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Does Pam Bondi also want to talk about how much money she has accepted from everyone in senior White House positions currently for her past FL AG campaigns and how she’s been a pay to play rep for years or no? Is that off the table?

That last line hits hard

“Your dog must hate fireworks” Does not care Does not give a frick frack He does have ear protection tho!

Even though the parents have been trying to murder me and the dog the past month I still am out here trying to make sure their stupid baby is safe 😒

Oh, you mean the gestapo? The Gestapo. The GESTAPO. Because that’s what this is. If you have any knowledge of history we are at the “establishing & bolstering private internal force to disappear our own people”

This is fucking insane. Closing these NOAA labs would obliterate our ability to observe, understand, and forecast the Earth System, from weather systems tomorrow to sea levels 50 years from now.

Just submitted my response! Make sure to get yours in before midnight tonight. Thank you to TransActual for providing guidance, it was so helpful!

Sure it would be great to go a day without being reminded that my existence at my school is not constantly under fire and that I spend more time in my PhD struggling to be here than actually doing my work but why would they allow that!!!

Ableism, discrimination, bullying, and harassment are alive and well in higher education! Don’t worry not a day goes by that I’m not subjected to absolute evil by my university but I mean thankfully I just print it out and add it to the file. Insane tbh.

Yes. I am right. I am seeing how Chat GPT is ruining students critical thinking and writing skills in real time. It is not the future. It is a tool designed to render the populace helpless, to make people doubt their innate intelligence, and to foster overreliance on technology.

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today. I'm so angry.

thank you for articulating this so well! this is exactly how I feel in HE!!!

So #PCST2025 is over and you have a few days in Scotland but don’t know what to do….. I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED ME! First off if you’re staying in Aberdeen some places that you can day trip to for a little adventure are the Cairngorms!

This is just a general observation but it’s hard to really feel connected at a conference about scicomm in a time when we have major push back and outright hostility towards science. And while there are mentions of it happening in a few places

An institution not supporting a researcher who is going through harassment? Gosh where have I heard of that before …… #PCST2025

Horrific

LRT my ghost science is that in 2012 we didn't get a NSF BI grant to take our ISE model out to be able to scale train best practice in museum education to science centres across the US even though the data was there that showed we were providing a completely new and fully engaging type of exp

Ghost science isn’t just the research never funded. It’s the fieldwork canceled when budgets got slashed. The deep-sea dives never launched. Data stuck on a hard drive because the grant ran out. It's all the science that could have been, and will continue to haunt us. What is your ghost science?
