It’s a girl! Yesterday, 25-year-old Nasalot returned to Ithumba with her family — which included a notable new addition! Nala, as we named her, is Nasalot’s first daughter. We have no doubt Nala will be able to hold her own among big brothers Nusu and Noah.

“The best way I can put it is it feels like we’re on a hijacked airplane.” The CDC’s new autism page reads like an anti-vax blog, and the agency's employees are not happy about it.

That didn't last long

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.

“Meta shut down internal research into the mental health effects of Facebook after finding causal evidence that its products harmed users’ mental health, according to unredacted filings in a lawsuit by U.S. school districts against Meta and other social media platforms.”

I’ve snuck into the Kentucky Academy of Science meeting to cheer on my students. Starting off the session is OAKS student Trevor Butrum. Adroitly dealt with finicky projector too.

People were arguing in my mentions today about whether the Earth is "round" when it's technically an irregular oblate spheroid and look "round" doesn't mean "absolutely perfect sphere" it means round. A soccer ball is round, a cantaloupe is round, a fluffy borb in winter is round, just go with it.

Only 13,000 gray whales remain, the lowest since the 1970s. They can’t wait. @NOAA must act now! #ProtectWhales #ExtinctIsForever bit.ly/4gQuPDu

Those Dems are correct. He is wrong. And he is dangerous. Resist.

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given. The same is true for everyone who swear their oath. Hope that clears things up.

Wishing our dear Joe Biden a very Happy 83rd Birthday💙🎂

TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE. For shame, Mr Johnson and the team you pretended to lead. Preventable deaths on your hands. They will not return to us. You live on, rich and vainglorious. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Peek-a-boo with an octopus and her eggs 🙈 MBARI researchers used ROVs to study pearl octopus (Muusoctopus robustus) mothers nesting near warm seafloor springs. Unlike other deep-sea octopuses, their eggs hatched in under two years. The extra warmth boosted metabolism of the moms and their broods.

In an unhinged dissent in our Texas redistricting victory, a GOP appointed judge seems to believe that George Soros and I did...well, I'm not sure what...but he is very mad. Bigly.

Pro tip: With Chief Judge Boasberg moving full steam ahead on finding which US officials were responsible for ordering defiance of his order... And whistleblower most likely to testify... Here's where this is heading in significant part: www.justsecurity.org/116777/bove-...

The government's October jobs report, which was delayed by the federal shutdown, will not be published, removing a crucial data point at a time when a stagnant labor market and sticky inflation have raised fears of a broader economic slowdown.

German Armed Forces special unit trains in Berlin underground A total of 35 soldiers in combat gear and armed with assault rifles are rehearsing in the middle of the night a defence scenario at the Jungfernheide underground and suburban railway station in Berlin-Charlottenburg.

Massive fire in Saganoseki in Oita, Japan, has spread to over 170 buildings with over 100 people forced to evacuate, per NHK.

100% true! On a bike, we're more equal as a family than in a car, where we, as parents, sit in the front seat and direct contact with our children in the back is much more superficial and functional. Cycling together creates memories; driving together doesn't!

As the federal government works to strip affordable health care from millions, California is awarding $145.5M to expand access — supporting 153 community organizations across all 58 counties to deliver local, specialized, whole-person care.

Screw it, I’m going to stop reading the news and watch a knitted frog make a pie, read a book, and go to bed.

Public schools are for education, not evangelization.

Whoa: A federal court just barred Texas from using its new congressional map, drawn by the GOP to target Dems. "Substantial evidence shows that Texas racially gerrymandered the 2025 Map." Court says the old map must be used in 2026. Appeals are certain. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
