"If we lose hope, we're doomed." We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.

A really enlightening discussion! Especially the idea that the US is *already* undergoing a revolution - it's just that it's a revolution from democracy to authoritarianism.

The moment where Hegseth ends his speech and not a single officer claps is the most hopeful thing I have seen in a long time.

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

Stopped doomscrolling, took myself on a walk with the amazing new episode of @ologies.bsky.social and learnt about revolutions - and even for someone who's done a fair bit of activism, there were vital new things to learn. Feeling grateful for all the other people who give a fuck and make it count.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

another day, another headline "Who is [full name]? What we know about the suspected [mass shooting location] gunman"

Listening to @alieward.bsky.social interviewing "the revolution guy" on @ologies.bsky.social and very impressed that she's able to keep the flow of the episode focused on the violence that's actually happening rather than leaving it in a centrist academic sandbox

Look who came by for a chat! Maybe you'll hear what we talked about in a couple of months... Thanks @ologies.bsky.social and @alieward.bsky.social for a great conversation and visit to California State University, Long Beach

Feel free to check out our episode “Garology” @ologies.bsky.social to learn lots more; and also this year’s #GarWeek Nov 3-7👍 www.alieward.com/ologies/garo...

I am so so scared of spiders and @ologies.bsky.social actually did help me out with the spider episode. I was walking my dog and I thought "ah! I dont want to be near the spider." And then i thought "the spider doesn't want to be near me either." And that kinda worked?

Hurricane season has been pretty quiet in Mass so far this year, but we still have a few months left to go. For folks interested in learning more about hurricanes, how they work, and how to prepare for them, I *highly* recommend this episode of @ologies.bsky.social: www.alieward.com/ologies/temp...

Y'ALL LIKE REVOLUTIONS? Storming the Bastille. Facing off with tanks. Canceling a streaming subscription. Here's a breakdown of why they happen -- and how -- with the world's foremost expert in revolutions and social change. (And yes there are tips.) www.alieward.com/ologies/revo...

"History: it's just gossip that matters." Enjoyed this @ologies.bsky.social episode on revolutions and social change www.alieward.com/ologies/revo...

here comes YET ANOTHER recommendation to listen to @ologies.bsky.social Revolutionology with @jgoldstone.bsky.social “Revolutionary times are intense & tiring” “Ask yourself: do they keep you fighting a culture war to prevent you from starting a class war?”

WHY DIDNT YOU TELL THEM. Don't make me make guest-specific merch that says "Quick aside: I was on Ologies." People, if you met someone in an Ologies shirt, wouldn't you want to know they were on the show?

MY VERY FIRST TV STUDIO INTERVIEW IS ON @pbs.org TODAY! This PBS KID is on PBS!! 🤯 Catch me TODAY on @wgbh.org News Rooted talking about #TheDoubleTax and why we cannot afford to ignore the costs women of color face. #blacksky #news Tune in: www.pbs.org/video/why-th... Get your copy: annagifty.com

OK here’s a secret* I was really into turtles before I was into gars. So this will be a randomized thread of some turtle encounters over the years. *I did tell @ologies.bsky.social, so I guess it’s not THAT much of a secret. She did use the “I like turtles kid” sound byte, which was cool 🐢

ICYMI: Three weeks ago, we were featured on the "Trolleyology" episode of @ologies.bsky.social. Since then, hundreds of Ologites have collectively directed an astounding $445,000 toward combating extreme poverty and climate change, supporting 230+ of their favorite nonprofits, and much more. Bravo!

Let's hear it for #MultipleSclerosis doc & medical hero, Dr. Aaron Boster! Send his vids to those affected by MS: www.youtube.com/c/AaronBoste... follow him at @aaronbostermd.bsky.social and listen to his Ologies ep here: www.alieward.com/ologies/neur... This ep help you? Would love to hear.

Hi! Do I know anyone in biotech or medical engineering who’d be up to chat with my niece for a writing assignment she has?

Hey, Evan! Lmk if you finish listening — we do discuss the many limitations of EA, and even how people misuse it to justify fraud and bolster their image. We also discuss @givingmultiplier.bsky.social at length, which helps people fund community PLUS global charities, instead of either/or

The Trolley Problem! A hot philosophical debate. Who gets spared? Where should you donate? What is "harm?" What would a monk do? W/ Dr. Josh Greene of @givingmultiplier.bsky.social. Also: neurodivergence & moral decisions, religion + your new fave skeleton. www.alieward.com/ologies/trol...

Fantastic new episode of @ologies.bsky.social! An insightful (and often hilarious) discussion on navigating difficult moral decisions and Josh's applied research projects for expanding the circle of "us". Podcast: pod.link/1278815517/e...

A two-part Ologies episode from last week can answer all (or close to all?) your questions about hurricanes! :) (Check out that first point!) bsky.app/profile/olog...

I have thought about this a lot. At this particular moment, we have to be all in on explaining in the clearest terms possible what is happening, who is responsible, & the consequences to anyone who will listen. What we are losing is too great not to do everything possible to save it.

Hitler's path: he exploited political & economic instability in Germany to gain power & dismantle democratic institutions. He ignored laws, outlawed opposition, suppressed civil liberties, established a personality cult around himself and took control over all aspects of German life.

Just wanted to say that @ologies.bsky.social is one of my favorite podcasts I listen to with my wife & I was so happy she got a couple of rock ⭐s in our field to talk about #Hurricanes etc. Just listened to parts 1 & 2. Both are great episodes & totally accessible to the general public. Bravo 👏

Re: sci-comm you ingest: how much open condemnation of administration & anti-science American culture is helpful? I debate this constantly, *trying* to inform & not alienate the people who need to hear it MOST but I have also fucking HAD it. Frog pot is at a roiling boil & some ppl won't listen

Who do I know in LA?

Part two of @ologies.bsky.social is out with @mattlanza.bsky.social and @drkimwood.bsky.social Give it a listen, and thank you for bringing tempestology to life podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

The CDC shooter was fixated on vaccine conspiracy theories. He shot at the CDC and killed a police officer. RFK Jr., through his antivax group, funded the pseudoscience propaganda film PIandemic, a key driver of false vaccine claims. It is beyond inappropriate for him to remain in office.

My Ologies shirt has sparked two conversations already this AM as I wander about. One with a barista who said “I love that podcast!” and another with a guy who was simply drawn by all the images on the shirt surrounding the title and hoping to see a vinology image. @ologies.bsky.social

How do you feel about AI? How *should* you feel? Don't ask a hallucinating chatbot; get your info from a living person who studies the ethics of AI, Dr. @abeba.bsky.social Birhane: www.alieward.com/ologies/arti...

My dream came true. At a cafe & my FAVORITE bug is harassing 2 people swatting it w/ their purses. YES I leapt up & YES I tried to catch it & YES I told them it was gorgeous, harmless, loves fruit, & is like a flying bumbling puppy. NO they didn't care but the beetle & I bonded #cotinismutabilis

@drkimwood.bsky.social @mattlanza.bsky.social These hurricane eps are soem of my faves!!! You both are such legends! Quick question: someone asked why Alfred would be retired as a hurricane name and I assumed it was because of another hurricane named Alfred but starting to wonder if you meant Adolf?

Well this is just the best, @misslikes.bsky.social. Everyone: you never know how long we have. Cut the bangs. Text the crush. We're all gunna die.

WE GOT HURRICANES 🌀 Stellar weather folks @drkimwood.bsky.social & @mattlanza.bsky.social chat: -“deadlier” femme-named hurricanes -anatomy of a cyclone -the eyes have walls -do we need a category 6? -bonkers history -Hurricane Hunters -tracking the big ones -cows www.alieward.com/ologies/temp...

The news is out. Not only did I have a chance to appear on @ologies.bsky.social to talk about hurricanes and temepestology with @alieward.bsky.social, the episode is a twofer with the inimitable @drkimwood.bsky.social!! www.alieward.com/ologies/temp...

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Hello, can anyone update me on how Congress is doing with those NOAA and NWS and climate research cuts? Are we waiting until September for that? (Don't mind me, just working on a hurricane episode.) rollcall.com/2025/08/01/f...

Did half of these! www.alieward.com/ologies/tard...

Done 50% of 'em! www.alieward.com/ologies/opos... www.alieward.com/ologies/amby...

Donald Trump took away your Medicaid to build himself a gilded party room two acres in size.
