For years, disruption has been portrayed as leadership. But moments like the Artemis II mission and governing wins are reminding people what competence actually feels like. Once voters start expecting real and valuable results again, politics changes. At this moment in America, that shift matters.

‪Prof. Eliot Jacobson‬ ‪@climatecasino.net‬ Your 'moment of doom' for Apr. 16, 2026 ~ a hard wind "... we now need a 'Category 6' rating for hurricanes with winds of 193 mph (311 km/h) or greater, because global warming is expected to cause significant increases in maximum potential intensity."

Oh: A 2022 study found that children in households that used voice commands with tools like Siri and Alexa became curt when speaking with humans, often calling out “Hey, do X” and expecting obedience, especially from anyone whose voice resembled the default-female electronic voices.

Massachusetts passed laws and joined lawsuits to protect access to gender-affirming care for minors. But faced with the Trump administration's threats, some hospitals voluntarily stopped care. n.pr/4tgo2YS

There were a lot of science policy efforts like this 10+ years ago — mistakenly seeing the scientific community as being responsible for declining public trust that was almost entirely driven by media and political factors outside scientists’ control. Just sad to see institutions still doing this.

Former NASA climate scientist, now Senior Scientist at Project Drawdown, Dr. Kate Marvel, has a fantastic piece in the New York Times today. This is a must-read if you care about science, the planet, and the future. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/o...

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

I watched that cringe-filled moment. On behalf of the people who share this rock with you, we’re sorry that HE had to be a part of any of your historic journey.

MY CAT SUPPORTS HIS GAY DAD AND THE ENTIRE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY

Thank you everyone who has shared in the joy of this book release day with me. I went through some very hard times while I was writing this book and worried about how that imprinted on the work. To get this warm reception is a joy, and I hope the book gives people joy and a sense of possibility.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

This may be the best skeet in Bluesky history.

Have you ever seen something so perfect in your entire life? #nasa #artemis

My new book debuts today but my excitement about this has been eclipsed by getting an email from my friend in Tehran, who is alive!!!!! I’ve been terrified for weeks. Thank you, universe!!!

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

[four people on] a spaceship, orbiting around the moon, with millions watching from Earth, geeking out about science & space. Just imagine what we could do if we can galvanize that kind of ingenuity & collective action to solve our challenges here on Earth. 500womenscientists.org/updates/2026...

It’s actually pretty fucked up that our tax dollars pay for the universal healthcare of our elected government officials who won’t pass universal healthcare…

You might know May Mailman as the woman who took on Harvard on behalf of the Trump administration. But Mailman, a Stephen Miller ally, is also the mastermind of Trump’s most sweeping anti-trans orders— an extraordinary effort to reshape our ideas about who and what men and women are.

I’m not surprised, but there are levels of depravity one never adjusts to. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/16/h...

It’s weird how much it upsets people when I talk about how the American apparatus has had and continues to have a genocidal attitude toward Black people and its not because they’re upset about the genocidalism, it’s that they don’t want to confront their own normalization of anti-Black violence

50+ Groups Condemn Trump Admin for Trying to Sabotage Independent Probe of Alex Pretti Killing www.commondreams.org/news/alex-pr...

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes. $9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst". Renee Good and Alex Pretti were unavailable for comment….

They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.

Over the past several weeks, as more and more Anthropic executives do interviews on a publicity blitz for Claude, one thing has gotten increasingly clear: Anthropic sure seems to think Claude is alive in some way, shape, or form. Read more from @haydenfield.bsky.social: buff.ly/bfZY4DD

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...
