With only the slightest apology for my language: Who the fuck actually wants these damned data centres?

Just a friendly heads up for tech companies: I don't care how much you've spent on ai, I still don't want to use it.

I can’t watch launches. 🚀 I am of the Challenger generation. The trauma is real.

It’s funny how, for decades, when we discuss the power of the presidency, people will say “the president’s words can move markets” and how presidents would often go to great lengths to avoid doing that. Now we have a daily market-moving president — sometimes several times a day!

Fantastic thread.

Trump has not “given” the USPS special control over mail ballots because that is not a thing that is his to give. PLEASE STOP PRETENDING THAT THE CARNIVAL BARKER HAS MAGIC POWERS JUST BECAUSE HE SAYS HE HAS MAGIC POWERS.

Wait. You can just say "we might infringe on your rights" in your Terms Of Service?

This. It should be the easiest 9-0 opinion in U.S. history. It's literally stated explicitly in the 14th Amendment. Justices that vote against it will be adding their name (yet again) to the list of worst Supreme Court justices.

Conversion therapy is discredited junk science that inflicts harm on LGBTQ youth. The Supreme Court’s decision is disappointing and puts vulnerable kids at risk.

The people upset over our opposition to this stupid war in Iran are claiming we "don't support the troops" and yet, they're completely silent about ICE agents being parked outside Marine Corps graduation ceremonies ready to detain the undocumented family members of new Marines.

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️‍⚧️🫂🫶

He started a war with no reason and no plan, sending the world into a crisis solely of his own creation, and now he's angrily bitching that other countries need to clean up his mess.

"Conversion therapy" doesn't work. It never has and never will. All it does is teach a young person to feel shame for who they are and that repression later manifests into unhealthy behavior. Today's Supreme Court ruling will result in a generation of shame and subsequent harm.

For #NSF and #NIH watchers, Grant Witness now has interactive data on numbers of grants and total funding obligations, broken down by institute and directorate, new awards and non-competitive renewals. The stranglehold on new awards is still a disaster. grant-witness.us/funding_curv...

The whole thing about Democrats searching for a winning message for the midterms is infuriating because it is staring them in the face: Rule of Law — People who do illegal shit should face consequences. For insider trading. For illegal wars. For ignoring court orders. For being a pedophile.

go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred million dollars

The NWS is discontinuing the Max/Min Temperature and Precipitation Table (RTP) product in May. A headache in the Bay Area where a lot of climate sites are co-op sites. There will be no way for the public to access co-op data until the following day unless NWS issues a record report.

“The state dept. today acknowledging a setback to operations when the iranians painted a fake strait of hormuz on the side of a cliff, with unofficial reports of ‘significant’ damage to u.s. naval & commercial fleets in the area.”

For you scientists out there this goes without saying But for the non-scientists: once you slam the break on Science, like Trump is doing, you can't just restart from where you were There are literature searches to help determine whether some other lab is now ahead of you. 1/4 #MedSky #GreenSky 🧪

People talking about how AI will disrupt our field. That would to nothing compared to adequately funding it, replacing retired personnel with new people, and--dare I even say it--*expanding* the number of positions would!

reopening the thing that was only closed because of the dumb war is now a top priority of the dumb war, follow me for more world-class military strategy

Hey, this stupid war was a really dumb fucking idea and it’s only going to get worse. Be sure to take notes on the clowns cheering it on right now, so you can remember to disregard their takes on foreign policy later.
