Misled is another word for lied.

"The fact is that Trump deserves to be impeached and convicted for his behavior in his second term. The misconduct of Trump, in terms of his corruption and that of his associates, is unparalleled in our history. His abuses of power leave Nixon in the dust." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Wow!

In terms of direct impacts, & as a political decision, it's definitely up there. What I'm wondering is whether our congressional representatives will start showing some backbone & stand up for our constitutional rights, or will they take the coward's way out and just resign? (like you know who)

"It’s a bright spot on the moon,” CSA astronaut Jeremy Hansen said, his voice breaking up, “and we would like to call it Carroll.” The crew all shared a hug after. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/s...

"take a podcast or news clip recorded in a noisy environment. A generative model (like Adobe Enhance) may “fill in” or modify parts of the signal to improve clarity. Our approach doesn’t introduce new information—it isolates what was actually captured in the original recording." & it's done legally!

"He can only carry out a coup if we decide to obey in advance: to pretend that wartime pretexts for coups are never used, although history instructs us that they are; and then to offer our surprise to Trump as the unique political resource that can transform his weak position into a strong one."

Really need it as soon as possible.

I can see the advertising campaign right now: Nutella, unlike Peanut Butter its out of this world!

The Astor Place Riots of 1849 resulted in “the greatest loss of life in a civic insurrection in American history up to that time”. And they were incited over the “wrong” actor playing Macbeth.

So if this press conference is accurate, the US strategy is now "We come in peace, shoot to kill?"

When Altman was fired, OpenAI was on the verge of closing a large investment from Thrive, a venture-capital firm founded by Josh Kushner, Jared Kushner’s brother, whom Altman had known for years. The deal would value OpenAI at $86 billion and allow many employees to cash out millions in equity.

This is the type of #physics I like. Superhyrophobic tubes were "inspired by a spider that holds an air bubble when it swims, the material could one day be used to design ocean sensors."

I forget who said that women should always be in charge of war, because men get too emotional about it, but somehow it’s been coming to mind recently.

"The one fundamental fact about Donald Trump is, as Wayne Barrett famously put it, "he’ll say whatever he needs to say to wriggle through the next 10 minutes. He said what he said about wars to get elected. Period. Anyone who believed otherwise was, frankly, an idiot." (about 69 million Americans?)

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved Pacific Gas & Electric’s application to extend the operating licenses for Diablo Canyon nuclear power plant’s two pressurized water reactors by another 20 years. Read more on Nuclear NewsWire: www.ans.org/news/2026-04...

Remove Trump Now

‘He has two traits that are almost never seen in the same person. The first is a strong desire to please people, to be liked in any given interaction. The second is almost a sociopathic lack of concern for the consequences that may come from deceiving someone.’”

This needs to be investigated as a murder

This is not a joke, but they probably should have added "As he is a republican, we will instead post an edited, sanitized version of what he wrote"

It was vital that the media report on the fact that Joe Biden was tested for Parkinson's disease. Here's why the media is right to ignore the fact that a clearly incapacitated Donald Trump disappears for four days each month only to reappear with severe bruising on his hand.

#Fusion energy has 'only' been 25 years away for at least 60 years now. #Stellarators are another look at this problem that might get us an inch closer to fusion than Tokamaks.

“The public is interested in what a science research career looks like,” says Do Ó. “They had so many questions: How long did it take? What will you do next? And they liked that I showed my personality and my femininity. I realized that I could take those two aspects to broaden access to science.”

I was reminded earlier today that there's a #Project2025 tracker, in which you can see how successful they have been in destroying the country.

Inside certain #quantum systems, where randomness was thought to lurk, researchers—after a 40-year journey—have found order and unique wave patterns that stubbornly survive.

Journalists are but one of the professions that have lost credibility since they whitewashed Trumps insanity and paved the way for his return to office, but they are one of the loudest about how unfair they think it is.

Sometimes it's the perception of kindness that can have the biggest impact on your life. i.e. It wasn't said as an an act of kindness but it became one.

“She realized that life is short and fickle and delicate – and you can’t want a family and then when it comes not put your elbow into it.” Even if that elbow is best known encased in a Givenchy evening glove and cradling a bag of doughnuts outside Tiffany’s on Fifth Avenue at dawn."

Now even more urgent than when I wrote it last week: presswatchers.org/2026/04/are-... Journalists should be asking:

"Chinese authorities found at least 200 cases of defective construction or trouble at the country's #nuclear plants between 2011 and 2024, prompting them to instruct the industry to boost safety measures" Question is, did the AP1000 piping defects turn up in the US-built versions Georgia?

Some are asking whether Trump is pulling a Praetorian guard in upping the defense budget to $1.5 trillion; the suggestion being this will be used to pay them off to help install a dictatorship. Hegseth is meanwhile purging the highest officer ranks of people of principle. It's worrying 1/2.

There's always an assumption that you need some insanely high-tech #prosthetic to improve someone's life, but sometimes it's as simple as building low-cost, 3D-printed limbs and digits. This club at UMD, currently led by Jesse Martin, is working exactly on this. #TheKidsAreAlright

Plan C seems to be the most realistic way to open the straits without Trump blowing his stack (plus it's a bribe. He understands bribes). But it also relies on sensible advice been given to Trump, so maybe not. Plus if anyone could screw up a simple plan, this lot could.

You have to get to the sixth paragraph of this story before you read the disgracefully-phrased sentence: “Attacking civilian infrastructure risks violating international law”

An article by Barton Wilson (who has never interviewed the subject of his article, Dick Garwin) upset a lot of people in the arms control community. You can understand why by reading this response.

Maybe the legacy press wouldn’t be dying if they… knew how to appropriately respond to this fucking moment in American history.
