OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Nitrobacter NOB respond to environmental conditions by modulating their nitrite affinity, which highlights the importance of pre-culturing on experimental observations.

Soviel zu einseitiger Förderung der Regierung: „Dass ein Verein direkt eine institutionelle Förderung erhält, gilt als ungewöhnlich. Üblicherweise beantragt er zunächst eine Projektförderung.“ Auch sind 250.000/Jahr richtig viel bei Förderung ThinkTank. www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/staa...

Mittlerweile sind 7 der 9 kritischen Belastungsgrenzen des Erdsystems überschritten – 1 mehr als im Vorjahr. Auch wenn mittlerweile rauf und runter gesagt wird, Klima- und Umweltthemen interessiert die Leute nicht: Lasst euch nicht drauf ein. Schauen wir weiter auf die Daten, so wie hier. 1/x

Trump's second term has been filled with chaos and dysfunction. But none of it is random. It's part of a plot to spread cynicism and get you to check out. Oligarchs don't want you to keep paying attention. That's how they win. Don't tune out. Don't let them win.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

Autism has gone up by a factor of five since 2000 but acetominophen use during pregnancy has been going down. Sorry but the math just ain’t mathing.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

These attacks on vaccines, tylenol, fluoridation of water, masks, etc is to keep everyone so distracted that nobody has the energy to ask - why are so many lacking access to medical care? - why is gun violence #1 cause of death in kids? - why is life expectancy falling? - why are meds unaffordable?

Who fixes carbon in the dark ocean? A new study in @nature.com, led by @barbarabayer.bsky.social @univie.ac.at shows that ammonia‐oxidizing microbes contribute much less to dark carbon fixation than previously thought – leaving room for unknown players.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

In a UN speech today, President Trump said that "all of these [climate] predictions were wrong". Back in 2019 I led a research effort to digitize old climate model projections and assess how well they did. Turns out they got future warming pretty spot on!

To be clear, there are no data that provide a link between short-term use of Tylenol during pregnancy and autism. In fact, one of the best prospective studies w/ sibling controls, if anything, pointed to a protective effect for use less than 7 days acamh.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Der große Kettensägen-Mann Javier Milei braucht jetzt übrigens US-Steuergeld, damit er weiter seine anarchokapitalistische Schock-Therapie fortsetzen kann. Nachdem er schon Milliarden von IWF und Weltbank bekommen hat. Klassischer Fall von Sozialismus für oben und Kapitalismus für unten.

American Psychiatrist Association Statement on White House Announcement on Autism

OLIVER: “In Russia, when Putin rose to power, TV satirists were among his first targets… Putin was driven to madness by how he was mocked on a puppet show… the lesson is it’s not safe to let one show slide because there are currently others.”

BREAKING: Donald Trump is planning to hand over major shares of TikTok to his billionaire pals. Understand this: Trump-friendly billionaires could control even MORE of what you watch — all while lining their own pockets.

Many studies have shown that there is no relationship between MMR vaccine and the development of autism. Here are two of the best. This one followed every single child born in Denmark from 1991 through 1998 (n=537,303). There was no association.

We are in an all-hands-on-deck moment for women across the world. I spoke to the @nytimes.com about the strong forces trying to turn the clocks back and how we can all fight for women's rights and futures. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/u...

Trump donor Larry Ellison’s Oracle will oversee TikTok’s algorithm. His media company owns CBS News and is plotting a bid for Warner Bros., which owns CNN. When billionaires take control of communication platforms, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for oligarchy.

Antifa-Meeting

Eine Organisation, die gar nicht existiert, soll überall verboten und ihe nicht existierenden Mitglieder verhaftet werden. Bis vor wenigen Jahren wäre solches politisches Personal ausgelacht und zum Psychiater geschickt worden. Heute bekleidet es Präsidenten- und Ministerämter.

Vote with your dollars.

Habe auch gerade mein Abo gekündigt. Und ihr könnt das auch.

Der Sinn „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten ist es übrigens nicht „die AntiFa“ zu verbieten, sondern Mittel in die Hand zu bekommen gegen jede einzelne Person, die einem nicht passt, vorzugehen mit der Behauptung sie sei Teil „der AntiFa“.

Die SZ schreibt: “Würde ganz Deutschland auf Mineralwasser verzichten (also nur noch Trinkwasser aus der häuslichen Leitung trinken) könnten anderthalbmal so viele Treibhausgasemissionen eingespart werden, wie der gesamte innerdeutsche Flugverkehr verursacht.” www.sueddeutsche.de/projekte/art...

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Die Wissenschaftsfeindlichkeit in den USA hat alle Hemmungen abgelegt: Kennedy hat nun Susan Monarez gefeuert, die Chefin der CDC, weil sie sich weigerte, seine Impf-Reformen ohne Blick auf wissenschaftliche Evidenz zu unterschreiben. Außerdem hätte sie Impf-Experten ohne Grund feuern sollen.
