Does anyone want to be coworkers with me? 🫣 We're looking for THREE (3️⃣) new teammates to join @scientistsorg.bsky.social and make us really good at AI policy and turning great policy ideas into even better policy realities.

2✌️updates to our Nuclear Warhead Inventories chart that nuke nerds will love 1. We wrapped STOCKPILES in grey to delineate from total inventories (which includes retired warheads awaiting dismantlement) 2. I fixed the y-axis so DPRK isn't cut off anymore Thanks @nukestrat.bsky.social as always

going to the children’s hospital. it’s a hospital where all the doctors are children. not the special children who graduate high school early. the normal kind. they are operating on me. appendectomy. unlicensed. my insurance covers 100% btw.

working in policy right now is trying not to say “i don’t know about that one” every time a coworker says “… when the shutdown ends”

🚨Call for policy proposals If AI adoption is not slowing down, policy governing safety and security practices needs to speed up. This is where you come in.

the good news: i started writing a new blog post yay the bad news: you have to write poorly to eventually write goodly and guess where i’m at

I opened the wiki article on Jeffrey Hudson, the court dwarf of the queen of France, hoping to learn more about the time he jumped out of a pie, only to learn about the time he doubled his height while enslaved for 25 years in Africa

sometimes a 3.5 is the best rating a movie can get

I love when my husband is away so I can watch movies the way got intended (in black and white and on an edible)

good things come to those who play crusader kings 3 for 4 hours a night while their partner is out of town (me)

Charles II: Did you finish that statue of the Archangel Michael defeating the devil? Luisa Roldán: Si y yo hice la Diablo real fucking sexy, just like you asked

I’m not autistic because my mom took Tylenol when she was pregnant with me. I’m autistic because she listened to too much Andrew Lloyd Weber.

double scheming. just in case.

it is crazy how highly normies rate Shawshank Redemption. might be the most overrated movie of all time. it sucks!

I can’t stop thinking about the 4th century woman who (as far as I’m concerned) invented the Recurring Bit

If I’m ever elected president, in my first 100 days I swear to create a new mascot for the IRS, a friendly axolotl named “Taxolotl” Stay tuned for more!

sad! I wasn’t hungry for lunch but I ordered fajitas and now I have like 90% of an unfinished fajitas

Miss Bigelow please call us we love Point Break and know a lot about nukes

very good sir, no one will notice that the skies are red and they can't breathe and they are getting insane lung cancers if we stop measuring pollution

Yesterday, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed revoking its 2009 “endangerment finding” that greenhouse gases pose a substantial threat to the public. The Federation of American Scientists stands in strong opposition.

this is what you're missing when you don't hang out on wikimedia commons

shoutout to the wikipedian who posted a photo of her full and juicy diva cup on the article for menstruation

really lovely blog post down to the image captions. perfection.

At FAS, we’re proud to back efforts like the Investing in Children Before Missiles (ICBM) Act, which shifts our national priorities toward education, communities, and a safer future with orgs like @livableworld.bsky.social, @fcnl.bsky.social, @ucs.org, and @winwithoutwar.bsky.social

The Sentinel program is $60 billion over budget – 81% over anticipated costs – and years behind schedule. Mismanagement and unchecked spending burden taxpayers while urgent national needs remain underfunded. It’s time that we invest in schools and communities instead.

@markey.senate.gov, @sanders.senate.gov, @senjeffmerkley.bsky.social, @vanhollen.senate.gov, and @rokhanna.bsky.social just introduced the ICBM Act of 2025, a move to redirect billions from the over-budget, delayed Sentinel nuclear missile program to public education.

Make no mistake – when the guys who make chemicals are excited that no one will be researching their chemicals anymore, we should worry. If the Trump Administration’s latest move is a commitment to anything, it’s a commitment to MAHA: Make America Hazardous Again.

Private companies and government agencies alike have long relied on EPA’s objective scientific research to design safe products and create policies that protect American health and wellbeing. That can’t happen if the research branch, and the dedicated scientists who staff it, go away.

The Trump Administration claims a commitment to “Restoring Gold Standard Science.” Last week, the Administration demonstrated that commitment by… eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency’s entire scientific research division?

Eighty years ago, we witnessed the start of the atomic age. Every year at @scientistsorg.bsky.social we mark the anniversary of the Trinity Test -- that was the very moment that began the nonproliferation tradition into which our organization was born.

If you were RIF'd this weekend, we invite you to tell us about the work you did, why it mattered, and why it made the world better off ⤵️

🥵🥵Trump is making this summer HOT HOT HOT by... - deleting the interagency National Heat Strategy (oops! have fun sweating!) - firing NWS staff who monitor extreme temps - canceling FEMA funds for heat resilience + mitigation - dismantling OSHA regulations that protect workers from excessive temps

[not a joke] pleased to announce that i have been promoted from personality hire (comms manager) to valued member of the team (SENIOR comms manager)

‘You can it from me that any man who slanders the female sex does so because he has an evil mind, since he’s going against both reason and nature. Against reason, because he is lacking in gratitude. Against nature, in that even the birds and beasts love their mate.' Christine de Pizan, b. 1365

An administration that claims to be obsessed with eliminating waste should look no further than the Sentinel ICBM program. @mknight.bsky.social and I have done a deep dive into the system; we explore why the program is so behind schedule, over-budget, and poorly managed. 👇 fas.org/publication/...

“In my technical assessment, attacking a nuclear reactor is really, really, really, really dumb,” FAS's @jonatomic.bsky.social tells @wired.com

we'll be "celebrating" this week's heatwave by posting urban forestry memes until every sidewalk is shaded and every urban heat island is eliminated
