seriously hope when dems get back in power they go after every single fuck involved with DOGE

if I had just read @dvaleris.bsky.social 's Bluesky posts I would have been far more prepared for my conversation with my dad tonight. (he loves Arsenal, win for him please)

Endless cycle

Remember when Dan Quayle misspelled a word and it was the end of his political career?

The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

One of our cats is like an inverse lap cat. Only underneath the knees and a blanket, no lap

I'm sorry, but WTF? Throwing aspersions on federal #climate scientists as 'politicized' during Biden admin with zero examples/evidence. Meanwhile this administration is dismantling key climate institutions & preventing scientists from using scientific terms in their work. Who exactly is politicized?

I really needed that hour but they stole it

FWIW absolutely no one I know who has expertise in spaceflight or planetary exploration thinks this is either remotely plausible or a good idea to attempt on such a timeline. The dominant reaction is somewhere on the spectrum between mockery and dismay. Real, important science was cancelled for this

Speaking of music, I saw @dessadarling.bsky.social Sunday night!! She is one of my favs. Her lyrics are the densest and the most filled with smart references, her & her team incredibly talented. www.dessawander.com Between her two new singles and Tori's new album, I feel not-alone in this moment.

If this new song that dropped is any indication, Tori Amos's new album "In the Time of Dragons" is going to go hard: genius.com/Tori-amos-sh...

OFFS. When Iran tried to interefere in 2020, researchers caught them and called them out. Then the Benz-Weiss-Taibbi-Musk-Jordan-Trump axis labeled those researchers "censors" ... and set about defunding them and dismantling their organizations.

Sometimes I am just so sick of dealing with people

no foreign foe has ever dreamed of being able to sack and pillaging this country the way Trump admin and its congressional and scotus enablers do every day.

Everybody knows that Pupper just won Downhill Gold

making tulsi gabbard DNI is itself a watergate level scandal

On Friday and Saturday, the Twin Cities were the center of global news. A day of solidarity. A horrific murder of a good man by masked federal agents. A city that rallied with peaceful fury. And then, as of Monday, a scapegoat sent packing. A neat story all wrapped up. Reporters all fly home.

My husband said this morning to me he had a million dollar idea. Bottle the incredibly dry air in the winter and then sell it in the summer. I've been thinking about this off and on all day. It is SO DRY, but we know the summer will be humid AF. OH THE HUMIDITY

Rome Guess they're reading Chekhov downtown, in their cruisers (about something earlier that's still going on) www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyFA...

In case any of y’all are wondering how cold it has been around here ❄️ 😕

On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the millions who were brutally murdered by Nazi terror and in concentration camps. Let today be a reminder for all people to confront antisemitism, fascism and race hatred wherever they threaten human freedom.

Literally knew a woman who did this as part of her job

As a social movements scholar, I absolutely love the diversity of tactics being developed by each city, reflecting their local flavor Portland kept it weird with inflatable costumes Chicago protected its street vendors by buying up their food each day Charlotte chased ICE agents into the woods

So far my most long-term treat for the new year is unsubscribing from a ton of stuff

What a beautiful day. Photo from my collection, 1912.

It is tragic that President Trump, who I do not support, and Nicolas Maduro, who I do not support, didn't join forces with Vladimir Putin, who I do not support, to form the greatest alliance the world has ever known, which I would not support. by Glenn Greenwald

The Grimmerie is an asshole

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty: My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media. Huh? When did I say that?!

I like big butts and I cannot lie, and this is my partner, who likes big butts and cannot tell the truth

I am seeing way too many posts saying “I will not vote for any Democrat ever again unless they promise to X.” I’m seeing this from people I know, people I follow, not just random accounts that are probably bots. But it’s getting louder every day, so it seems like a good time for a reminder. 1/

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now. Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers. Shameful.

I'm so tired of measles. I'm also tired of people using needle shots on stories like this. Show what measles looks like.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other. bsky.app/profile/us.t...

It’s so nice to have a little creature that climbs around on you and sits on you and purrs

Cats galloping around like a tiny herd of horses (dyad of horses?) is so cute because they are little and fluffy but still so loud

What it's like inside your head

Trying to not drop any balls in such a way that they smash. So trying to: --Nicely hand balls over --Make some balls smaller --Put some balls down gently

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

new Dessa song just dropped, powerful @dessadarling.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifXH...
