This is very bad news. I've been reading Scientific American since I was 7. It has informed and delighted me, and its staff have defended scientific truth always. This is blatant union busting and a direct attack on scientific integrity. WHY is this regime so afraid of science?

It was my patriotic duty to write this piece. www.sciencenews.org/article/alga...

Just heartsick that a bunch of salesmen called LabX Media purchased the venerable Scientific American. Not just a great science magazine but well written, thoughtful and entertaining. Please take a look at Meghan, Kate and other great SA alum if you want to produce a quality publication.

It REALLY pisses me off when Dem and progressive groups engage in sleezy campaigns ala GOP/MAGA. So @impactfund.bsky.social that revolting mailer you sent out attacking Marlene Galán-Woods in AZ CD1? It just moved her up on my list. And any candidate or cause you support is now questionable. Idiots

This is really, really bad. The most venerable voice in American science publications is swallowed by salesmen. (Should have expected it when Spring Nature started buckling to jerks like fascist Jerry Singal.) But it does provide a great opportunity for someone to hire the talented Kate Wong.

Someone is pretending to be me to scam others and it’s so upsetting thebloggess.com/2026/06/23/i...

What a beautiful story- and what a wonderful gift for Father's Day.

The delightful, relaxing break we all need. 😍 (Open sea, for me.)

Holy moly. Heap is a deeply corrupt Republican who slithered into office by keeping a low profile- even though he was caught selling access for contributions as a state Rep. 🤦 Replaced the last marginally honorable elected Republican in the state. What a mess. www.azcentral.com/story/news/p...

Officially an oligarchy with all safeguards destroyed. Almost every day I think about the title of Alan Paton's 1948 book on the coming of apartheid. Cry, The Beloved Country.

It's happening!! 😆👏👏

Great simple, fact-based local reporting with links to pretty much everything. Valuable info for everyone in the Valley of the Sun. Took a lot of work and is very well done.

So is it just me or did all the tech bro get together and decide to make every single thing they touch difficult, or even impossible, to use? Things that used to take seconds take forever, don't work or malfunction. Like they plugged in AI and everything broke.

Still one of the most entertaining accounts around. (And I firmly believe there IS a "group chat of public service-oriented social media people making each other laugh at public utility jokes like a bunch of NERDS.")

Note the last post in the chain- link to the actual budget document. I love this. Whenever possible reporting should include links like this. This is real journalism.

This story made news all over the country.

Has anyone seen or taken a photo of the Reflecting Pool today? Also looking for a current photo of the blue floor, assuming the sides are still uncovered by water. This is for a quick aside in a video today. Will give credit!

Thank you, Rep. Stanton- and to all of your colleagues who also step up and demand accountability.

This is wonderful! I've been wanting an alternative to Google but what do you do? Google "alternatives to Google"? And you have options to block AI images and limit AI involvement. (Plus, I like ducks.)

SB1105, “Protect California Rights Acts” is under attack by CA Police Chiefs and unions. Call your CA state senators and tell them you need this to pass to protect our communities from ICE using local police against them. SPREAD THE WORD

Muslim pilgrims have begun arriving in Mina, near Mecca, ahead of the start of Arafah Day during the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Pilgrims described feelings of peace and gratitude as they prepared for one of Islam’s holiest rituals.

link to E-Qual is a little buried so (Julie Read is the only one I would consider for District 2 city council. The other two sound more like blame game Republican mens and we already have an actual one.): apps.azsos.gov/equal/

I remember that time vividly and disagree with "originally conceived in the interest of unity and harmony". As we reeled from the horror of 9-11, many jumped into fascist mode. And many Americans warned against putting so many units under one department. But xenophobia won over common sense.

Have it recorded but haven't watched it yet. No metter how good it is, I will be sad. 😔

This is truly great, detailed reporting from an independent newspaper (they will always be "newspapers" to me) Just wish we had it before the '24 election when Judge Valenzuela was retained. His comments and reasoning are horrifying.

this Elon Musk plot to steal your 401(k) money is really going underdiscussed

Sadly apartheid Elmo and the other tech bros are pouring millions into PACs specifically for AI supporting candidates. And by and large, people are just breathtakingly stupid and will fall idiotic ads rather than being suspicious.

Join us for a lesson in ʻŌlelo Hawaiʻi, the indigenous language of Hawai’i. 🌺 In Hawaiian culture, many ocean animals are revered as aumakua, ancestral guardians that protect the ‘ohana (family). (1/3)

OK- seriously. What is the allure of cruises? A giant hotel, crammed with people and if you try to leave sharks will eat you. Book luxury suites at nice hotels with an ocean view if that's your thing. Even with airfare it will be cheaper and you can, you know, LEAVE whenever you want.

This Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we’re celebrating the communities whose traditions, knowledge, and connection to the sea continue to shape how we care for the ocean today. Stay tuned for content that showcases this strong and beautiful community. 😍 🌺 💙

Fascinating though some of it is too complex for my brain. Solidifies my belief that Elmo is a simplistic and childish thinker. (Will always believe that his wealth is from work bought or stolen from others.) PS Why is no one is talking about fusion anymore? PPS Subscribe to Scientific American

ICYMI- This administration has turned our country into an especially evil criminal enterprise.

Today's reminder that independent local news is especially critical right now. Billionaires and "investment groups" are systematically destroying much of our traditional news sources so watch for and support the journalists in your area.

notably his cure is from CAR-T therapy, which is so new I didn’t even learn about it in med school THIS is why we invest in science

This was incredibly informative

And there you go. More evidence that Federal law enforcement has been corrupted and can't be trusted to investigate serious matters. We must have congressional hearings with testimony under oath covering every aspect of this event. @gallego.senate.gov @captmarkkelly.bsky.social @wyden.senate.gov

Ou my god. The insane man really is trying to destroy our country and send us back into the Dark Ages.

I’d urge media to begin reducing how often they show the scattering & running from last nights correspondents dinner No one in the room was hurt These images are seen by kids & survivors of shooting sprees … and are scary The images amplify what the attempted gunman dId. Not a good thing

Hey Phoenix people. Long shot but anyone on southbound 51 before Camelback this morning (4-22) around 8:15? Evidently an older white SUV was trying to run a woman off the road, nearly causing several accidents. Hope someone caught the plate number/reported as it was happening.

Wait...what? Someone is saying it's "impolite" to call the GOP Nazis?? Screw that. They have been openly following the Nazi playbook for years. They are most definitely Nazis and failing to call them out is dishonorable.

McClatchy is now literally in the business of publishing fake news- and stealing journalists' names and work product to do it. I don't support thieves and robber barons if I can avoid it. Really hate to see The Miami Herald and KC Star go. (List of publications in replies.)

This is amazing. (And more than a little frightening.)

Is this app glitching for anyone else today? Slow, weird messages (ie, not found, rate limit exceeded (wtf), etc)
