@radiofreetom.bsky.social Nice Exorcist reference on The Bulwark podcast! 👏🏻

Today at 3 PM, members of the Erie County Historical Commission, Buffalo Maritime Center and U.S. Lighthouse Society will hold a remembrance program on the 50th anniversary of the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald. While the ship was not based in Buffalo, it docked in local facilities often.

Very excited to join the cadre of folks monitoring and imaging plankton with a #planktoscope . We’ll be sampling in the Chesapeake Bay to support an effort to predict algal blooms. #masternaturalist .

Let my gravestone read "PUNCTUATION GOES INSIDE THE QUOTATION MARKS."

Nobody in the press gets a medal for Charlie Kirk coverage, in my mind. His statements have been grossly distorted, the purported motives of his killer hastily ascribed, and public statements from officials swallowed whole without much verification, some of which turned out to be wrong.

It’s every parent’s nightmare, isn’t it? you check your child’s bulletproof backpack and find a picture book about gay penguins

this statement was made just yesterday

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Neighbor.

Warren. Finally.

As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance. In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites." But this is unequivocal fact.

One of the most clarifying things I've seen in the past few weeks is "de-escalate all conflict that is not with the enemy."

#copyediting "moreso" is not a word

“This is a crisis,” said Jim Kirkland, state paleontologist with the Utah Geological Survey. “And one of my jobs is to attract attention to this so we can save as much of it as we can.”

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Protecting the ocean has always been a bipartisan effort, in Congress and across multiple White House administrations. In the face of ill-conceived attacks on @noaa.gov, it's time to raise our voices. My thoughts in defense of NOAA and #OceanScience: mbayaq.co/4k8vEsx

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

The acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration left her job this weekend after a clash with Elon Musk's DOGE over their attempts to access sensitive government records. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

It’s about having red hair and freckles FFS and how to be cool with that when other kids make fun of it. By that twisted logic, you’d have to ban pretty much every children’s book, old and new www.cnn.com/2025/02/17/e...

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Justice Brandeis said, “Crime is contagious. If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law. It invites every man to become a law unto himself. It invited anarchy.”

What a thing to brag about.

if I were writing stories about the gov "firing thousands of probationary workers" I would probably rewrite as "firing thousands of new hires -- who are often on a status called "probation" --" because I think the general understanding of "probation" is "in trouble for something they did"

You know Kate Winslet in Contagion? Where she runs into a hot zone, risking her life, so Americans could be safer? She was an EIS officer. That’s who was just fired at CDC today. EIS officers. And many, many more public servants fighting every day for your health.

In announcing the Fort Bragg name change today, the U.S. Army's official X account tagged Elon Musk directly. This is not good.

This is where you go to tell the National Park Service to restore the word "transgender" in its entry on the Stonewall monument. (Scroll down.)

The artistic purging begins at the Kennedy Center. This from Michael Kooman, one of the creators of the Helen Hayes Award nominated children’s musical “Finn.”

You know who else played themselves? White women. They thought they were beyond DEI and often used their whiteness to punch down and pull up the ladder behind them. They thought they were exempt. They thought they had more power than they do. Now look at them. They’re the DEI hire too

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Who are you when it counts?

Pete Hegseth tells reporters he welcomes Elon Musk and DOGE to the Pentagon, because there is waste that needs to be addressed. Like DOD climate programs. "The Defense Dept is not in the business of climate change, solving the global thermostat. We're in the business of deterring and winning wars."

Does the Times regret its contributions to those attacks?

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
