Disappointed to see some of the AI ads in nyc completely defaced. It should be all of them.

fossils are so cool 🧪

realizing I need the knicks to sweep tomorrow so that The Boney Awards (The Oscars for Fossils) isn't competing with a Game 5 I think @fossilslablab.bsky.social is going to give a great interview, but would still rather not compete with B-Ball! 🧪

The nominees are being revealed! Who will win next week at The Boney Awards - the award show for fossil records! 🧪🔭

My kingdom for a tech ecosystem that will stop smothering me with apps and devices that constantly try to engage me in conversation against my will

If you didn't know, Betelgeuse is my nemesis star. It's been cool seeing it near Jupiter and Venus this spring, but with alter sunsets its harder to see and sets sooner. On Monday I invited friends to "send it off" with me until it returns in the winter! 🧪🔭

Make it fucking stop

I'm putting on an award show for fossil records 🔭🧪

Roses are redde Violettes are blue Narratyves of inevitable acceptance of technologye Are an ideological tool

My high school mentees have decided to theme their research project video on Memento, which came out when they were -10 years old

My science comedy talkshow is throwing a B-Earthday party for the Earth! 🧪🔭

The planets are throwing a surprise B-Earthday Party! 🔭🧪

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

It’s such a crazy coincidence how the people in Hollywood advocating for use of AI are the ones who already have enough resources to exploit it for personal financial gain

Earth Day! Stream and IRL options! 🔭🧪 www.caveat.nyc/events/scien...

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

You are invited to the Earth's Birthday party! My omedy talkshow Science Tonight! is throwing our pearl of a planet a B-Earthday Bash on Earthday, Apr 22. Now at 7pm, save $5 with code "EARTHBDAY", stream option available too! 🧪

Hundreds of millions of people live close enough to data centres used to power AI to feel warmer average temperatures in their local area

work has been tough lately 🔭🧪

Before I became an American, I was Lebanese. Parts of my family live in Lebanon. Anyway, you don't need those bona fides to feel this way, but what is happening in Lebanon right now is a complete outrage. The people there, who mostly are just trying to carve out a living, don't deserve this.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

i like this plot so much I made it a bread 🧪🔭

Favorite class of the year is when each student plots a handful of the closest stars and a handful of the brightest stars. You don't fill out the HR diagram unless you draw from both 🔭🧪

"nobody is doing anything" remains a lie meant to soothe the person saying the words. It's not true. YOU may not be doing anything but a lot of people are.

I did this yesterday! It a silly number of steps, but worth it if it protects the skies for future generations!

Comments close today, the Time to act is now! Then, next week stream my science comedy talkshow to hear all about how bad an idea it is! 🧪🔭

It's the worst, so bad, you might even plan a whole episode of your science-comedy-talkshow about it

can i just say how much i hate when i am having a magical moment looking at the stars and then boom there is fucking starlink and now i am thinking about how much i hate elon musk

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

This week's cover @thelancet.com

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

This is such a bad idea you could make a whole episode of a science comedy talkshow about it. 🔭🧪

Science Tonight! LIVE: From the Heart was incredible, we defeated RFK jr's Misinformation Brain Worm! 🧪🔭

This article is incredibly damning of RFK Jr., as every single thing about him including his own actions and speeches and existence is.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

The next epsiode of my science comedy talkshow is tomorrow, and it is LIVE: From Inside the Heart! 🧪🔭

BREAKING: Over 680 members of the National Academy of Sciences, Medicine, and Engineering have endorsed articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. (1/2 🧵)

turns out when Bezos suggested "democracy dies in darkness" it was a goal, not a slogan

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely
