In the 00's, a car company made this commercial that accidentally exposed how much space is wasted by car-centric road design. What’s crazy: The most unrealistic part of this video is how it shows *too many people* — because the average car on the road has just 1.5 people in it.

I’ll be there!

It’s my colleague!

Is he part of the club yet? He promised to be a dictator on day one. He’s sure acting like one. #uspolitics #worldpolitics #trump #dictator #fascism

That'll be this gorgeous cover from @jarrethartnell.bsky.social !

read trump's new executive order on domestic military dplymt + vigilante "portal." one of the reasons i am happy to be an independent journalist is so I can say that this is crazy, fascist, brownshirts shit without getting pulled into a meeting with PR for "opening us up to criticism from the right"

Please help spread the word!

The White House's memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize. “What you have is this desire to get people to buy into the fun of sadism,” says Jason Stanley, an author who’s leaving the US because of “concerns over fascism.”

Going to the library fucking rules. You can walk in and pick your favorite things and then walk right out without paying anything. It's unbelievable and 100% the kind of thing that won't exist in the future unless you recognize the goodness now before it's too late

A year after its breakout public health moment, 'miracle drug' lenacapavir has been approved by the FDA and recommended by the WHO. The drug is a long-lasting shot that provides almost 100% protection against HIV infection. buff.ly/E5zOvGl #ShareGoodNewsToo

Shout out to the colleagues who ask why I bother studying a settled issue like women’s suffrage.

Slowing of Atlantic ocean currents could dramatically shift rainfall globally. New research in collaboration with BAS scientists shows that a slowing of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could cause significant changes to global precipitation. 📊 : DiNezio, et al., 2025 🧵1/2

RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH. These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures. How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?

I will indeed be talking with @kangsanee.bsky.social at 7pm today.

This is how insane people sound when you tell them why A.I. is bad

“fig trees store calcium carbonate in their trunks—essentially turning themselves (partially) into stone... The team of Kenyan, US, Austrian, & Swiss scientists found trees could draw carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere & store it as calcium carbonate 'rocks' in soil”😮 phys.org/news/2025-07...

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

In a sane world, this would be the biggest, most important news story in the world. ‘Tipping points’ experts issue urgent message to world leaders. “Every fraction of a degree above 1.5°C matters. And every year of “overshoot” matters too.” “It’s ultimately a matter of survival.” #ClimateCrisis

“Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost.” — A. Whitney Griswold

“The best way to avoid being physically inactive is not join to a gym, but to begin with the radical act of walking. The good news is a well-designed city can give us all the regular physical activity we need, without access to expensive equipment and trainers. It’s all about the built environment.”

This came to mind after I saw this video. I admit: I wouldn't have known this band was AI-generated unless someone told me. Very scary time for musicians. IG danmanganmusic

In honor of this year’s Independence Day, carefully read the Declaration’s charges against George III and notice how many eerily echo what the Trump regime is doing.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Correction: in the US. Spoke with Pauline, who stayed up until 5AM finishing the installation for today. She described an emotional experience pulling together the research of the missing. Family members still don’t know where some folks are being held. They were grabbed at work and on the street

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use 2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use 3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them
