I'd be curious how US trends compare to global/ROW trends. Is this really an American only phenomena? @alexsammon.bsky.social @slate.com

Coffee didn’t cause cancer. Tylenol does not cause autism. Here’s why confounding matters 🧵

A snapshot of Silicon Valley in 2025 is Mark Zuckerberg, now a MAGA-friendly mixed martial arts fan who doesn’t worry much about hate speech on his platforms and complains that corporate America isn’t masculine enough.

My heart breaks for this community, bureaucratic victims in a senseless culture war

Red flags: how to avoid falling victim to a ‘money mule’ scam

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

Thank you @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

it is not *just* that federal officials legally shouldn't be using signal, it is not *just* that discussing this kind of thing using a consumer messaging app is wildly illegal, it is *also* that they talked a ton of shit about people who are supposed to be our allies

Also, for my remote sensing peeps who teach, Palisades Fire offering an excellent example of VIIRS saturating in the IR and bleeding over into downpath pixels. Neither the Pacific Ocean or central Santa Monica are actually on fire (right now anyway). #remotesensing #NASAcanyoufixthis
