I admire Rep McBride, and this is (in part) why. I know that many trans people and activists disagree, sometimes harshly, with how she has chosen to deal with the attacks on her, and I am in no position to judge. But she does always deserve credit for willingly putting herself in the line of fire.

This is bad news.

In related news, the claim ‘the Tooth Fairy does not actually take lost baby teeth from under pillows’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that magical beings are secretly thieving teeth in the dead of night…” www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

WTF is this? Remind me again which side has an antisemitism problem?

Way to not burry the lede.

This is chilling. I hope Damphousse is prepared and willing to stand up for our faculty.

Yeah @rhettallain.bsky.social congratulations!

Finally—FINALLY—I got around to framing this and hanging it in my office @stellerarts.com #robotart #iteachphysics 🔴🤖🚁

So they ARE willing to limit the possession of firearms. 🤡 www.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

Y’all, I have a book coming out. I edited and summarized the great work for my friends and colleagues. I’m so proud of their work on this. And so thankful that they submitted such great chapters. dannycaballero.info/iop-book/ #iteachphysics #iteachcs #iteachastro

@physicistdanny.bsky.social are faculty unions able to push back against state imposed constraints (eg the make-up of a faculty senate)? #askingforafriend

@gillianlynnryan.bsky.social the soft serve is broken at summer camp

This is such an insightful and incisive conversation about advocating for trans rights in a way that moves the ball forward. I was very impressed with what Rep. McBride had to say.

@aapthq.bsky.social really wish the SM25 hotel block pricing extended through the #PERC

@gillianlynnryan.bsky.social you’re not attending the slice workshop? Now who will I send silly gifs to?

Have you questioned your entire career today? 😭 Decimating STEM education in the US makes no fucking sense.

🧪 Data update on NSF grant terminations Including last Friday's terminations, STEM education grants now account for... 54% of terminated NSF grants (751 of 1381) 75% of terminated NSF funding ($590M of $783M) The next generation of scientists is being targeted. #WithoutNSF #SaveNSF

Our community flourished because of 3 NSF grants we earned 10 years ago. We were awarded another one to grow the community and move us to sustainability without federal support. Each day that passes brings worry that we won't be able to do so. #iteachphysics #physicsksy #astrosky #SaveNSF

There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security. Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."

@josephlaycock.bsky.social what’s the TST response to the tx state legislature adopting the blue bonnet curriculum incorporating bible verses in k12 education?

How was your Yom Kippur, EVERYONE? It must be so boring for people who don’t atone to have nothing to do but eat Chinese food and go to the movie theater while EVERYTHING else is closed for the #federal #holiday. #MedinatAmerica

I was about to purchase tickets to go see the anniversary showing of #JurassicPark in theatres when I realized it was in 3D. 😩 My new plan is to just pop in the DVD tonight.

@ladyknightthebrave.bsky.social excellent Andor video! That show was so good!
