It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot.

Farage built Brexit, and Brexit broke Britain. Nigel Farage is the cause of the mess we’re in - not the solution.

Left: Wow. We need gun reform. Right: Wow. We need to put the left in concentration camps. Media: Ok. It's time for the the left to bring down the political temperature here. Enough is enough.

"Why are sharks near the beach?" Another way of saying "near the beach" is "in the water, where fish are supposed to be." If a shark walks down Main Street, give me a call. But "fish seen in water" is not especially newsworthy.

For those who care about TB—and humanity—this is a terrific and well-referenced article about the death and destruction sown by the current U.S. administration. www.cidrap.umn.edu/tuberculosis... thank you @cidrap, for this comprehensive reporting. @tbfighters.org @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

I honestly don't think everyone talks enough about how amazing it was when the world came together to fix the hole in the ozone layer, so I wrote this: everythingisamazing.substack.com/p/lets-all-r... It's a good reminder of what we're capable of.

Next week UEFA is expected to meet and vote on banning Israel from International Football. Like if they need to be banned. RT if it is time to ban Israel from all international events.

Jim Henson would've been 89 years old today. Commemorate his life and legacy by celebrating creativity, diversity, imagination, peace, and just plain silliness. Walk with me a bit while I talk about Jim and his work--and leave your comments about what he means to you. Right this way. /1

The China Vehicle Collision Repair Technical and Research Center posted this video of their new battery ejection system for EVs for when they experience thermal runaway, and I cannot stop laughing. Good luck whoever is to my right! #cars

The space elevator project was founded by the world's billionaires, who were offered exclusive luxury tickets on the first ride up into space. After the launch, the project announced a second funding round, to start looking into the feasibility and advisability of installing a "down" button.

Meta HIRED the “chemicals are turning the frogs gay” guy to police AI bias against, presumably, complete morons: “He [Starbuck] falsely asserted that exposure to the pesticide atrazine turned amphibians "gay,” prompting male frogs to mate — a claim that has been repeatedly debunked.”

Farage & Trump logic: 1. Everyone born in 1900 is dead 2. Everyone born in 1900 drank water. 3. Therefore drinking water has a 100% fatality rate.

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists! www.bbc.com/news/article...

The escalator, the teleprompte…. How much more incompetent can they get, yet they keep on blaming everybody else…. Th current USA-administration is the biggest joke in the universe!!!!

Hell no, boycotting Disney now since they oppose free speech and support dictatorship

Authoritarians love "Gen AI" because it - Sounds confident even when factually wrong - Broadly conforms to & reproduces their biases, off the shelf - Lets them create bespoke realities (text, audio, moving & still image) which agree w/ their biases - Degrades trust in knowledge/evidence/expertise…

30 conservation organizations have urged wildlife agencies to take science-based actions to protect Mexican gray wolves after a new analysis showed a declined in the endangered species’ genetic diversity for the 4th year in a row. Learn more ➡️ bit.ly/4mlRmZJ

Yep, just yesterday I got an ad about it in my personal e-mail that was never disclosed to my spam-email account hat I used on Facebook and Twitter… Somehow they managed to track me down, and for me, that is a big FUCK YOU!!!!!!

Our new working group is tackling hygiene challenges that were previously taboo, creating practical solutions and mandatory training for the workforce. Moving beyond the stereotype to welcome diverse talent. Because polar science needs every perspective 🧊

Heard/read/seen plenty of stories of women doing field research… as a man, I can only imagine what it must be like, and hearing some men discuss it is just gross… I am glad some people are moving beyond the stereotypes. 👍👍👍

The monarchy may have rolled out fanfare, but the people of Britain weren’t fooled. They showed Trump the door with defiance. 🇬🇧 Read, share, rebel, and let’s remind the world: democracy belongs to us, not wannabe kings. 👉 open.substack.com/pub/demcastu...

🚨 POLICE TOOK OUR TRUMP & EPSTEIN VAN They're obviously terrified of THIS photo of Donald with the world’s most notorious paedophile making headlines while Trump visits the King. So whatever you do - DO NOT SHARE THIS VIDEO Location: Windsor High Street, UK #trump #epstein

Waiting for it to be like "We believe middle aged men should be able to inject cheetah blood, install a cybernetic second penis, upload themselves to the Cloud, or give themselves mechanical tentacles like Dr. Octopus, but we ARE VOCIFEROUSLY AGAINST TRANSSEXUALS."

🚨 ALL HANDS ON DECK, THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨 Here's a paper that will give you all the science-based ammunition you need to convince your higher-ups that they shouldn't just ignorantly jump on the AI bandwagon. Let's turn the tide around and stand up against all this nonsense

Nice short discussion of the evolving understanding of 3I/ATLAS as this interstellar comet continues its approach to the Sun and more observations come in from various telescopes, featuring a lot of the observing folks 🔭☄️🧪

#SciArtSeptember Day 5: Corridor Different species respond differently to forest fragmentation. While some animals use human-made paths, we’ve already fragmented this planet enough—restoring & protecting biological corridors is vital! 🐆🌳

Timeless humour! A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to: “I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂 Dated circa 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was recovered in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 Juan Jose Fuldain/MOLA #Archaeology

The weird new ant paper that shows queens laying eggs of a completely different species has me thinking that more species are probably cloning sperm in their spermathecae than we’d thought. After all, most queens only mate once and cloning would be a great mechanism for keeping the party going.
