NEW: A lot of bad has happened to American science over the last year but nothing comes even close to what’s about to happen if we don’t speak out in opposition to the OMB rule changes and I hope @aaas-socsci.bsky.social @apsphysics.bsky.social and others will launch public campaigns about this. 🧪🔭⚛️

What is it with the month of May that all it knows is death and allergies?

Sometimes you just have to throw a bunch of stuff out there and see what you get close to landing

What? You didn’t know that?

tl;dr

As usual, Cole’s got the goods

Loose board shooting across the parking lot

science and space travel are best done by people in love with the science not people in love with profit

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

🧵What happens when libraries can't preserve the knowledge they collect? 📚⚠️ @Brewster.Kahle.org warns that the systems connecting libraries, readers, and cultural memory are becoming dangerously fragile. Read Preserving the Library System in VANISHING CULTURE ⤵️ archive.org/details/vani...

On this day in 1830, President Jackson signed the Indian Removal Act, forcing Indigenous people who had lived in the southeastern U.S. for centuries to migrate west in brutal and dangerous conditions.

💰$1,000 for being accused of stealing Vaseline 💰$2,500 for being accused of stealing dish soap 💰$4,000 for being accused of stealing vitamins & reading glasses When we say bail keeps people trapped in a cycle of poverty, this is exactly what we mean.

All that money that is now spent on Data Centers - imagine if it was spent building hospitals, training nurses, and buying medical equipment. How many lives would be saved? Anxiety reduced knowing healthcare is more available. We need a better economic system than we have now.

This is so spot on

I’m not usually this gutted by the passing of someone I don’t personally know. No man is an island and any loss is a loss to us all. Everyone will rightly highlight MJ’s style, tricks, clothes, music choices. I’m realizing the big influence he had on me as a kid was the sense that being curious 1/3

Fuck, man. First, Sonny Rollins. Today, Marc Johnson (skateboarder). He was my guy during my formative years. He should’ve gotten to be one of the really old guys.

It's a huge mistake to "adjust to" or "adapt" to generative AI. There's rarely been a more clearcut situation to reject vehemently for so many reasons. One reason beyond those that apply now is the future capacity for proactive manipulation and distortion. We need less outside interference not more.

This is pretty great www.instagram.com/reel/DYznRos...

"Would you have been against the industrial revolution?" is not the gotcha that you think it is. IR led to an era of unchecked corporate greed, robber barons, immense wealth inequality, environmental disasters, & worker deaths. It was only reined in by union power and government regulation 1/2

Name the bridge @mayor.nyc.gov

And now they are all gone. RIP Sonny Rollins.

Take: It’s a shame Suski will be remembered for a wack trick. There’s been a bunch of Suski stuff on insta lately and he was sick. I remember seeing the sequence in TWS when it came out and thinking he should’ve tried again and gotten a back tail or 5-0

Rest easy, Colossus

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

Kids are people, actually

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

I think about this all the time.

Just saw a kid in the grocery store in Knu Skools with a Zero bleeding skulls deck and I was suddenly in 1998

I renounce all confidence.

We’ve been told a skateboard is a deadly weapon. So…

Ronnie Kessner is a BPSW-era skateboarder name. Like he should have a short part in Da Deal is Dead or Planet Earth’s Animal Farm.

One more try and I’m going home

Canetti: “I have constructed a library that will last for a good three hundred years, all I need now are those years.”

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

"...if we continue to let our most experimental and interesting institutions fail in favor of administrative scale, we will find ourselves with a higher education system that is larger, more efficient and entirely devoid of the vibrancy that so many other countries are struggling to emulate."

if i had a dollar for every time Éireann said something extremely smart that is ALSO extremely skateboarding, I'd be able to build my cabin no sweat.
