Completely cancelled our Disney+ subscription. Will buy the boxed Bluey DVD set. That's all the kiddo watches anyways. Not only did they not give full support to Jimmy, they also are raising their prices. Know your audience.

House prices in Silicon Valley and Austin are going to drop quite a lot, is my guess.

Holy cow. This is gonna cause so much trouble.

So much for international faculty or tech workers. This is how you lose all the money invested in international PhD students. Just let them all go back home. Well done.

Converted our Disney+,HULU, Max bundle to only Disney+. My kids would murder me if I cancelled Disney also, but give it few more years and that will be gone too.

This isn't the way.

The biggest sporting event in the world is happening in our backyard. But most New Yorkers will be priced out of watching it live. Sign our petition calling on FIFA to put game over greed: zohranfornyc.com/gameovergreed

'mkdir Cycle5' ... here we go.

Bobcat hanging out on top of our chicken coop, hoping for a tasty snack and locking eyes with a coyote.

Here's what the third day of elementary school looked like in Mount Pleasant, Washington DC.

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Who's gonna be the first politician to offer thoughts and prayers on the murder of little kids while they were praying?

What's more to say?! LOOK AT IT!

At his confirmation hearing, RFK Jr claimed he wouldn’t take away vaccines. So far he has: Removed COVID vaccine recommendations Fired the CDC’s vaccine committee Replaced scientists with antivaxxers Cancelled vaccine hesitancy research Pulled $500m in mRNA vaccine research

As he ducks the Zohran question, worth remembering Senator Booker has gotten $900,000 from AIPAC. (He also voted for Kushner’s pardoned father’s ambassadorship)

Trump canceled the research grant for America’s — perhaps the world’s? — top mathematician (via @weakinstrument.bsky.social)

Loeb: we must stick to the facts, not judge things based on public opinion. Also Loeb: Look at how many likes and messages my ideas get! I must be doing it right.

For 40 years, Michelle Cournoyer has supported students and faculty, solved problems, and shown up with heart. As she prepares to retire this August, we celebrate the impact of a true Steward Observatory legend: bit.ly/3GWkAQv

💥Viktor Orbán’s demographic strategy is a disaster. Over the past decade, 37.8% of Hungary’s population decline was due to emigration to other EU countries. Hungary is losing the competition to retain its own citizens while birth rates tank. Read Direkt36's in-depth article on @vsquare.bsky.social👇

There was a Shuttle launch that I worked on console…STS-133 maybe? Anyway, Stephen Colbert was at JSC to tape a bit for his show. And after the launch I went to the building he was in. After taking a nap in the car, he showed up in an orange ACES suit. That’s me with the sunglasses on my head.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

Congress has decided to claw back previously approved funding for public media. This decision hurts people in communities across the country, but it has only strengthened our resolve to keep Americans informed and connected. (1/2)

Senate CJS bill is passed out of committee, with strong support for NASA and NSF (basically flat budgets) and strongly supportive language for many facilities. www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

I hope he makes fun of paramount every single night from now on. variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Despite having just 4% of the world’s population, the U.S. has won over half of all science Nobel Prizes since 2000. This success depends on a “brain gain.” Nearly half of U.S. doctorate-level scientists and engineers were born abroad. theconversation.com/your-data-pr...

So much for astronomy observing classes in Texas.

Remarks from Nobel laureate Adam Riess on the stakes in the fight to save American science: 🧪

Security camera at our chicken coop picked up a visitor today morning.

I stepped in a big old rusty nail in January while cleaning out our shed. I thought it would be a good idea to get a tetanus shot so I went to the nearest urgent care clinic. They didn't have tetanus vaccines, so they put a band aid on my foot and told me to go to a Walgreens. Just got the bill ...

MAHA strikes. NIH to not award grants that solely rely on animal testing (need to use AI or simulations also). This *may* sound like a good thing, but there are so many research programs that cannot do simulations. www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/healt...

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

10 days ago, somebody placed a plastic alligator with a beaded muzzle around its snout in front of my home. Nice try! You will not silence me. Threats, subtle or not, will not stop this campaign and my push to protect our democracy and freedom to dissent.

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

The details are not yet finalized, but the budget bill would devastate NASA science and the future of US exploration in space and astronomy. Among many other things. 🔭🧪 www.planetary.org/articles/nas...

As an undergrad I had the pleasure of working on calibrating commissioning data of the UKIDSS survey in the summer of 2004 in Leeds. Some amazing deep images. Sorry I never got to see it in person.

We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps

Marchers gambled with potential police intervention and fines to participate in the annual Budapest Pride, which was outlawed by a law passed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's right-wing governing party.

Oh, no ....

Apart from the obvious human toll, material devastation, and the weakening of our standing in international politics, a wide ranging war will further deepen the U.S. debt and crumble the economy. There is nothing to gain here.

NASA Goddard is pushing through a 48% staff reduction!!! This could impact the upcoming Roman Space Telescope and many other future Astro missions. News coverage seems not sensational enough. Are we really going to let NASA (as we know it) die quietly? www.space.com/space-explor...

Should have asked him to show Iran on a map.

By SCOTUS's logic, a law banning all treatments for erectile dysfunction would not discriminate on the basis of sex so long as it was applied to everyone.

Tonight, I'll go home and sleep in my bed. I have a lawyer, I'll get due process. But Edgardo, whose arm was ripped from mine by ICE agents, has none of those things. That's why I'll keep coming back to court, week after week, to make sure that people's rights are protected.

They want to sell Sabino Canyon. 🙃 And a bunch of the Catalinas.

What happened to Senator Alex Padilla earlier today was outrageous.  He identified himself. He asked a question—peacefully, respectfully, and on behalf of the people he represents. For that, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed by federal agents.

SHAME

Americans are soon gonna learn the word "defenestration".

If this were Russia, Musk would be falling out of a window about now.

I need you all to see the hype video that this person made to sell their 1994 Geo Metro
