Hello Tucson

We (The School of Earth and Space Exploration at ASU) are looking for a new director! Come be my new boss! apply.interfolio.com/176991

Noted racist and Nobel Laureate James Watson, who stole Rosalind Franklin's data to try to deduce the structure of DNA first, has died at 97 as an unrepentant eugenicist and misogynist.

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

huh, blue states, you say?

really was hoping he would go by getting shot in the face by a friend, but I'll take it. Buh-bye Dick.

Huh, what president might have signed that into law in 2019?

Do people in Nice call Salad Nicoise Salad Nicoise?

Congratulations to the Artful Dodgers

(9/9)This article details the administration’s ongoing destruction of NASA science. Here Press Secretary Bethany Stevens clearly violates the Hatch Act, as Acting Administrator Duffy has done. If they’re not held accountable, NASA’s integrity may never be restored. www.space.com/space-explor...

A personal reflection on the destructive erosion of ethics, norms and respect for law at NASA: 🧪🔭 🧵

Walking out if a restaurant, overheard a 20-something woman say "You know who I have a crush on?...Alan Alda!" Crickets from her companions. "You know, from MASH!"

Post a perfect album from the 90’s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam,Soundgarden or Alice In Chains.

So in the course of migrating my website, I managed to compile pdfs of all of my peer-reviewed pubs going back 31 years into a single folder. Compressed to a zip file, they take up 666 Mb of disk space 🤘😈

I had to do some googling to figure out what everybody is on about on this website and for the 1st time in many years I found out who's playing in the world series before the whole thing was done.

Have they had a front page article about the pain felt by immigrants? By research scientists? By librarians? By trans people?

The White House needs to update their website- that WH image is out of date

Proud of my PhD Institution. Hope I can soon say the same about my employer.

He's going to demolish the MLK monument and replace it with a golden statue of himself, isn't he?

Who robbed the louvre? Right answers only

I dunno, man, losing both Ace Frehley and Susan Stamberg on the same day

Every time you start our microwave it plays a 3-note motif that is the exact start of Tony Bank's synth solo in the Colony of Slippermen, so that weird song is stuck in my head *all the time* youtu.be/jyNKjAUd_HQ?...

When I was a teenager I decided I hated both the Eagles and Hall & Oates. I stand by the Eagles opinion, but wtf was I thinking with H&O?

Holy crap. This is terrible. The article states it's "not related to the current U.S. government shutdown". But of course it is: they are both connected by the GOP destroying everything good about this country from the top down and the bottom up.

And the fraction of women among Physics Nobelists drops from 2.21 to 2.18% (5/229). For reference, women have earned something like 15% of Physics PhDs over the last 50 years

Maybe he could preemptively call them up himself and send them to some rural MAGA town to harass white racists.

Fun fact: more people voted for Trump last year in Chicago than in the state of Wyoming.

Thousands of NASA employees to bid farewell to the NASA they knew Yes, NASA science is being destroyed, and the NASA we know is actively in the process of being gutted. Here are the receipts. bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #astro #nasa #usa

OK, sure, let's add a program that can't do basic arithmetic to Excel. OTOH, maybe it can add "1-2" to excel without it instantly turning into January 2

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

If you are going to have a power failure on the NanoSIMS, I recommend it not be during a weekend -long bake of the vacuum system

Fuck, and I mean this most sincerely, Ohio State University

friend of my daughter's made this working QR code embroidery

A leading Democrat in the Senate just released an important report documenting how NASA has been working to implement the president's proposed budget, not Congressionally approved funds, in slashing missions. Read more ⬇️

What if you grab a federal officer by the pussy? I hear Republicans are A-OK with that,

You'd think the regime would consider Portland an ally, seeing as they refuse to fluoridate their water

Wtf are these "flapjacks"? #gbbo

Announcing such a major change to NSF GRFP this late in the cycle is incredibly cruel. 2nd yr students (mine included) have been working so hard on their proposals despite ongoing uncertainty. They are driven and passionate about being outstanding scientists and helping those coming up behind them.

Subtly downgrade a band: Slightly Tricky Straits

I hope the next Dem president turns it into a homeless shelter
