North Korea has a trick or two to learn about the arts of ass-licking the Great Leader.

Maybe dumping poop on voters from an airplane is not a surefire electoral strategy

Hey, what's the life of a few thousand losers compared to sweet, sweet profits? The US is literally run by the Antichrist and his demons. If you voted for him and haven't recanted yet, you're either a moron or earned yoursel a one-way ticket to eternal damnation.

A Just Transition to Agroecology is needed to protect a livable climate and adequate food for all. IATP is co-coordinating a side event tomorrow at the Bonn climate conference (SB62), which sets the agenda for this fall's global U.N. climate conference (COP30). www.linkedin.com/events/ajust...

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not. An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

The anti-intellectual prejudices and destructive attacks on science by the Trump administration, especially on medical and climate research, will cause massive and needless suffering and loss of lives.

Obviously, in the Fascist States of America, studying the extermination of ethnic groups is a no-no.

Open access, too!

The Iraqi Information Minister got a new gig!

📣 #IPCC is calling for nominations of authors for the Seventh Assessment Report! IPCC’s Working Group Co-Chairs explain how your contribution as an author or review editor can help shape the global response to #climatechange. 👉 bit.ly/3XJOb4F Submissions close 17 April

No Bond villain was ever as villainous.

other silver linings: "The Great Depression won't seem so bad." "We'll look back at Herbert Hoover more fondly." "John Roberts will get lots more practice doing obsequious interviews."

President signs Exec Order to raise temperatures and sea levels, burn down homes, raise the price of food, make insurance unaffordable, make Earth unlivable. Oh, and poison your kid’s tuna fish sandwiches with mercury. #climatecrisis

No shit, Sherlock. Destroying the universities is a key fascist objective. Both because they believe these must be neutralised to control the country, and because that's what their Lord and Master, Putin, wants them to do: America, stupid, poorer and alone.

If you're still on X and are not a fascist, good luck to you.

🔍 Measuring the performance of food and agricultural systems is critical for their transformation towards a sustainable, healthy, and resilient future 📈 Take a look at this systematic review article by researchers from CIFOR-ICRAF, Stats4SD and CIAT 👉

This. This happens all too damn often. An agroforestry system is lovingly nurtured for decades, and some rank idiot who can't think decides getting rid of it would nicely plug a red cell in his (it's usually a "he") spreadsheet. So sign that petition please. Please? Pretty please?

How long before judges like that are beaten up by Musk's goons?

White supremacists are gonna be racist dicks.

There's an idea. Unlike the Stauffenberg plot, that might work.

Let me be clear: you can't INCITE an INSURRECTION, THREATEN your investigators, PARDON all your co-conspirators, FIRE all your investigators, DESTROY GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS and its ESSENTIAL SERVICES without *ANY* authority to do so, BYPASS Congress & IGNORE COURT ORDERS, without it being TREASON.

I linked DOGE staffer Marko Elez to a deleted X account that advocated repealing the Civil Rights Act, backed a “eugenic immigration policy,” and wrote, “You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity." He just resigned. www.wsj.com/tech/doge-st...

The rich twats who thought they would ride out Hitler didn't fare too well. If I were Bezos, I'd hedge my bets a bit more subtly.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

The Dept of Education may take down many sites soon including studentaid.gov Folks should go to the website and download all their loan data (under "my activity" on the "My Aid" page), including docs related to loan consolidation, payment plan apps, FAFSA forms, and PSLF

Canadians, Greenlanders and Gazans would have to be delusional to want to join a shithole country (©️ Donald J. Trump) like the US.

I'm looking forward to bridges collapsing, airports flooding, railway lines buckling and roads cracking up because contractors are not allowed to take climate risks into account anymore

Next up for Musk's woodchipper: NOAA, the world's premier institution for research into climate change (and into much else besides). www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

EPA, CDC, USAID and other data sites of federal government are all down or being scrubbed of long-term data that WE THE TAXPAYERS paid for. I teach with these tools! Why are our universities saying nothing about loss of access to information and research implications? I cannot believe the silence 🧪

Monstrous www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/h...

Keep your antennas tuned on Bluesky as well, people.

Ooohhhh, climate change is real when a golf course is involved but not when 8 billion lives are. Got it.

John Roberts is very upset that the public has lost confidence in John Roberts and the institution John Roberts leads following a series of confidence-cratering actions by John Roberts and his colleagues, and therefore would like everyone to know that this is not John Roberts' fault, it's yours.

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square. 45² = 45 x 45 = 2025 Also, 9² x 5² = 2025 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 My favourite? 1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025 #Mathematics #teaching #education

Sounds fair to me!

Mump. The one root word you will need for the next four years.

Preet Bharara, you rascal!

Restoring the vast landscapes of the Great Green Wall demands innovation. Do you love Africa? Are you passionate about land restoration? Do innovators set your heart racing? Then you may be who we're looking for! recruit.cifor-icraf.org/jobs/Careers...

IUAF, CIFOR-ICRAF and RAIN, Regenerate Agriculture in Namibia, are proud to invite you to explore how peoples’ incentives can restore drylands at scale. We’ll have examples from Niger, Zimbabwe, and of course Namibia. From fruits to livestock, wildlife to carbon, the possibilities are huge!

Twitter is evil, and that's what the science says.

Sir, you are not the left’s greatest fear. You have “alpha male” in your handle. Your bio insists you are “NOT a Homosexual” lol. You are probably an incel sitting in a basement and stewing in your own self-imposed toxicity. You are a cautionary tale, a test of the limits of our compassion.

A graphic depiction helps make clear that Trump has no “mandate.” One of the narrowest popular vote wins in history.

Soil biodiversity for kids ! In dozens of languages! Yippee!

These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.

In Namibia, "the bush" is a curse.    That impenetrable thicket of thorny shrubs covers thousands of km2. Gaze in any direction, and you will see the bush marching off, all-conquering. For an agroforester, Namibia is a shock: fewer trees is what's called for. www.linkedin.com/posts/pworms...

That's a great job opening for an early career researcher!
