Pilot on my flight: “Air travel is not fun right now. Please be nice to each other. I don’t want to be on CNN. Let’s just go home.”

Genuinely not sure many people realize this. I would have to petition a court in North Carolina just to *try* and get mine. And I still might not.

Some of you never had to make peanut butter and jelly on leftover hot dog buns and it shows.

Climate science is having to pioneer new statistical language to communicate the sheer craziness to the public. Here, a "once-in-a-4,433-year event." Certainly beats, "Rejects the null with p<0.0002" or "3.5 sigma." heatmap.news/climate/marc...

Robert S. Mueller,III, a great man and role model for all America, has died. This country is better for his lifetime of dedicated service. May his memory be a blessing.

$200 billion could fund the National Science Foundation for 20 years.

A must read for anyone who cares (and these days, worries constantly) about American science and medicine. Credit to Prof. Will Mair for sharing his story. There are many more stories like it.

This article tells the story of what researchers have been going through over the past 14 months. As funding dries up, professors struggle to keep people employed and to keep doing the work. The Trump Administration is destroying so much science in this country. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

#gfe2026 @gfeev.bsky.social PhD Award goes to Tatiana Lebedeva 🎉 for Tatiana's thesis investigating the role of β-catenin in specifying germ layers in one of my favourite organisms, the starlet sea anemone, Nematostella.

Former Middle East adviser at the US Department of Defense, Jasmine El-Gamal, has it exactly right.

This is what happens when oligarchs control the *news*

I still can’t believe we have a Fox News host running our military.

It’s really crazy how much I’ve been agreeing with Rep. Thomas Massie recently!

This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

Congratulations to the U.S. Men’s and Women’s hockey teams, Alysa Liu, Breezy Johnson, Mikaela Shiffrin and all the amazing Olympic athletes representing Team USA.

A tech CEO says AI is about to do to everyone what it is doing to coders. Is he right? sfstandard.com/2026/02/14/a...

Read and share all over..he nails it

So true.

Impunity - I’m interested and excited by this one too!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but listening to an audio book absolutely counts as “reading” a book. In fact, I’d argue that listening to an author read their own work aloud is an exceptionally magical and even holy experience. I love it so much. Especially as my eyesight gets worse.

Terrible regression.

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I remember this day vividly…it was so shocking and sad…we watched it unfold on live TV!

Amazing new protest song from The Boss!

I hate when I agree with Rand Paul…but this is the upside down world we live in!

Just think about what would be happening in the US right now if Kamala had been elected.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

Just imagine what this country will be like when ICE starts spending the extra $75 BILLION that was approved last year:

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

To be so relentlessly ignorant (and shameless about being so) is also a superpower.

Even on here, I’ve noticed a distinct shift from people outside the country that’s essentially, “This isn’t funny anymore, fix your shit America.” I just wonder if our congressional invertebrates are feeling that at all.

We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.

An absolute disgrace.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

Someday corporations and technology companies will pretend they were always against this

This is how “ Democratic Socialists” work - they use the power and resources of government to help people and keep them safe. That used to be The American Way!

My thought exactly! 🤩

Will there be any ramifications - for anyone! - for this egregious misconduct?

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

I know in my heart that the Siege of Minneapolis will go down as one of the biggest political blunders/grossest abuses of federal power in American history. Just a matter how long that consensus takes. Next week? Next year? Next decade?

Everything is fine! 🤦🏻‍♂️

It is unbelievable to many Americans too! The Europeans aren’t “laughing” at us any longer, they are scared to death that we are destabilizing the entire world order in places like Ukraine, South America, Middle East, Iran, and Greenland. They think we are crazy for not doing something about Trump.
