You Go Jasmine Crockett 👏🏻......

Crazy that there's three impeachable/corruption stories on just one current news screen...

The EPA got info on the toxicity of GenX in 2006, when DuPont sent it the 1st of 16 reports showing the compound causes cancer 20 years later, the agency is rolling back drinking water limits on GenX and other PFAS chemicals citing the need for more research 🤯 theintercept.com/2016/03/03/n...

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

The world’s largest sand battery got through Finland’s harshest winter in years. 2,000 tonnes of sand, heated to 500-600°C by cheap power, feeding district heating in Pornainen. And it worked. Result from one install: oil down 100%, emissions down 70%. Industrial process heat is the real prize.

Artemis II: the video captured by the solar array wings camera 3 during the Orion Crew Module and European Service Module separation has just been released in ultra-high resolution. One of the most fascinating video from the Artemis II mission! images.nasa.gov/details/_art... #Artemis 🧪🔭

The lack of public bathrooms in Seattle costs people money, time, and dignity. This restroom is super exciting -- when do we get #2?

i’m sorry that this world is cruel and that you had to see its ugliest face i’m sorry that those who knew you as a poet, a singer, a friend, wont get to see you anymore i’m sorry that you werent given the chance to see all that you’d become rest in peace, Juniper Blessing 💜

Wow... Just posted by NASA Artemis: high-resolution video capturing the separation of the Orion Integrity spacecraft’s crew module - carrying the astronauts - from the European service module. #Artemis

Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse. I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence. Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

Yet another CDR paper using thermonuclear detonations.. arxiv.org/abs/2511.17174 - gosh, what could go wrong ?

For those outside the Seattle area, the current area drama is that wealthy residents of a mansion neighborhood are complaining to the city that helicopters that carry children to the Children's Hospital are too noisy. I cannot say my thoughts publicly :)

They're not going to stop with trans. They've realized that they can get away with just about anything if they claim to be protecting "the children." If they roll back gay marriage, they won't stop there either. There is no fucking accommodating these people, they must be defeated & marginalized.

The Laurelhurst neighborhood in Seattle is on a mission to limit helipad access at the Seattle Children’s Hospital due to noise complaints. Helicopters have to land a mile away and transfer the child to an ambulance. Some kids didn’t make it. All because Laurelhurst doesn’t like the noise.

This striking oil painting is titled "Tango-Jazz" and was created in 2017 by the Russian artist Georgy Kurasov. Kurasov is known for his unique, contemporary style that blends elements of Cubism and Art Deco, distorting human figures into sharp, geometric planes with mathematical precision.

What a cool idea! Keep the pressure! @redactedreadingroom put all 3.5 million pages of the Epstein files bound together in 3,437 volumes of books, on display in a new exhibit in Tribeca. David Garrett, one of the organizers, says the goal is to push for the release of all of the files. #Pinks

A sad day. Jorge Sarmiento, one of the greats in ocean science, passed away today. Jorge was a model leader; thoughtful, compassionate, and an excellent scientist. His leadership of @soccomproject.bsky.social transformed @bgc-argo.bsky.social into a global system.

New paper by John Bistline et al finds that US emissions will decline over the next decade even with the partial repeal of the IRA (and the passage of the OBBBA). But rate of decline puts us on track to get to net zero emissions economy-wide closer to 2100 than 2050. https://t.co/AQissNrM3Y

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

The helium shortage is now unavoidable. Another wonderful follow-on to the Iran War, and if you think helium doesn’t matter much, think again:

At its current funding level, $50 billion wasted on bombing Iran would fund the National Science Foundation for nearly 6 years.

Excited to share our discovery of a new programmable RNA-guided DNA-targeting system hiding inside bacteriophages that predates CRISPR. We call it VIPR (Viral Interference Programmable Repeat), and it uses an entirely new logic to find its targets. Thread + link below.
