SCIENCE POLICY NEWS: During Yom Kippur, all the members of the High Energy Physics Advisory Committee (HEPAP), myself included, received a letter thanking us for our service and telling us essentially that the almost 40 yo standing federal advisory committee was no more. ⚛️🧪🔭 Why that matters 🧵

Someone in the crowd: “Go Cubs!” Pope Leo XIV: “Han perdido! They lost!”

This video made me so nostalgic for my brief but wonderful stint in Chicago—and not just because I was broke af at the time so most of my touristing consisted of taking the el somewhere to admire the architecture and see what there was to see.

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:

It was pretty terrifying tbf. Who knew that Darth Vader could use the Force to play the bagpipes and unicycle AT THE SAME TIME?!

Much to consider here. I can only hope they’ll let Cambridge in on the plan www.reddit.com/r/boston/s/r...

I cannot believe people were losing their jobs for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk and the president of the united states just went on tv and said "skill issue loser, RIP but I'm different"

Since last fall, sheriffs in MA have been accused of misusing campaign funds (funneling cash to their personal business, one sheriff purchased a $700 course to start a podcast), drunken driving, and extorting a cannabis company, respectively. They have a $162M deficit on their $737.2M annual budget.

The US continues to use its military to murder foreign civilians from a country the US is not at war with and who pose no imminent threat that could conceivably justify a claim of self-defence, based entirely on allegations of criminal activity for which the penalty, if convicted, is not death.

RCV is great but it requires so much voter education every year. It seems like this person thought you had to rank 15 candidates. Because I have a hard time imagining there’s someone out there who thought, “Well, I really liked Dan Totten but Joan Pickett would also be great!”

We’re firing up the HONK Bike Bus again, on Halloween morn! We need volunteers! If you’re local to #CambMa, click thru if you can tote a musician, lend a cargobike, help out with publicity or marshaling or whatever! Or just come out the morning of and cheer us on! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Me: I just don't understand why I can't just out-think my anxiety and emotions and simply react and respond in the most ideal way every single time and never feel bad My therapist of eight years: *audibly loading gun*

This is why the em dash thing fucking kills me. Writing isn’t AI because it contains punctuation you don’t know how to use! Most people can barely be trusted with commas.

A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

I love when they blame protesters after they indiscriminately pepper spray each other

Over the weekend ICE abducted an NIH contractor when he showed up to a courthouse for his green card hearing. He is documented. His wife is a citizen. He is also member of the skeleton crew of animal care staff that works through a shutdown, to ensure the health and wellbeing of research animals.

What could 10,000 ICE jackboots each cost to recruit, Michael? $3,000,000? Wait, that cannot possibly be right *checks math* "The [ad] campaign... is part of ICE’s $30 billion initiative to hire 10,000 more deportation officers by the end of the year." Oh wow oh fuck jesus christ what the shit

Store bought ravioli almost always tastes better raw. Lightly blanched at most if the edges are a little crunchy.

I fetched cold meds for my housemate because I feel bad about spreading my shitty cold from last week and before he took them he asked, “Is this Tylenol?” Bro, you collect typewriters. It is way too late for that question.

Absolutely no credit to her and I’m not sure how much of this is an act, but sometimes MTG reacts to issues as though she’s only just been made aware that there is a possible alternative to the right-wing party line and it’s just so strange to me

Massachusetts Health Connector? That's what we call the Affordable Care Act. MassHealth? That's Medicaid and CHIP. Trump and Republicans are attacking the millions of Massachusetts residents who rely on these programs to survive.

Borscht was slightly just too close to the back of the fridge, I guess :/

Is it just me or does this article bend over backwards to act like American evangelicals invented religious hierarchy in order to skirt around the fact that the content of their beliefs is the odious part?

Yes to this whole thread and: the point of understanding this context isn’t to diffuse blame but rather to impress upon all the breadth and depth of reform and repair needed. Simply putting Dems back in charge doesn’t fix it. We did that twice already!

I’m bleeding a little bit but I can’t move

Wow, they did all that and got *two* suspected gang members? Suspected? Wow. And two of them? Wow. Plus a guy with a previous charge of marihuana possession? Wow. Wow, that is impressive. Wow, when are we throwing these heroes a parade? Wow.

"Has had such a good life in this country," yes, ever since she was granted the privilege of coming here from her birth nation, Brooklyn.
