It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

The Brookings Institute found that Charlie Kirk was the 2nd largest misinformation spreader among podcasts they analysed. "Mr. Kirk, a conservative activist and the founder of Turning Point USA, ranked second, with 17 percent of his episodes containing an unsubstantiated or false claim." Gifted:

Oh man, the kindest way to describe this cake is “claggy” 🤣 I can only assume the original would have been a solid oatmeal block with chunks of apple.

Sooooo…. he just wanted to feel important? That’s what I’m getting here.

I found a “healthy” recipe that sounded tasty, but as soon as I started measuring I realized I needed to add the salt, fat, and sugar back in.

I love the way science used to be written. Is it necessary to know that the author was pushing his baby in a pram while making observations of insects? Perhaps not, but it provides delightful context, while assuming the reader is familiar with his previously published baby-wheeling-related work.

Fake drawstrings on children’s clothes should be a crime.

I made tasty baked macaroni and cheese knowing that neither child would eat it but hoping anyway, and yep. Neither child ate it. Sigh 😑

With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREAD🧵 Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

gotta remember that no one likes this shit

Led by teachers & reporters! Ehehehehe 😈. “The purpose of the so-called books and records demand is to investigate potential misconduct. Depending on what they uncover, the investors could file a shareholder lawsuit.”

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR ON MY POSITION HERE You're a fucking asshole if you tell an individual, who has no real power to affect change, that you're going to do a thing to hurt them to punish the big bad. This is screaming at the cashier because you can't get breakfast at McDonalds at night.

I do a comic about ornithological vocabulary for every issue of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's wonderful Living Bird magazine. Here's the latest one, featuring the American Bittern.

Happy (rainy) Tuesday, #Boulder. I've got a new story for you all about a new temperature-stable, single-injection rabies vaccine developed by @colorado.edu researcher Ted Randolph. www.colorado.edu/today/2025/0...

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

man it is just so humiliating to watch this demented old coot lecture the world like this total national embarrassment on every level

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

It’s likely that this happened to them, in which case, again, this should be much bigger news. We can’t just disappear thousands of people without notifying anyone www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This is RAD. Another result of changing climates is population overlap and hybridization. I’ve always wanted to see a Steller’s jay x blue jay hybrid. Now I need to add this to the birdy bucket list! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

This is ADORABLE 😍

An overcast day all day today, waiting for the rain and storms that arrive tonight. Raven flight path, cheering up a very grey day. #birds

I would love to see what the D+ subscription rates look like this week.

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.
