WOW! ✨ 3I/ATLAS is only the 3rd interstellar object we've ever observed but by PURE chance NASA's Europa Clipper will fly through its tail and sample it.. The first time EVER humanity will directly sample material from outside our solar system! Mind officially blown! 🤯 Flyby ~ 30th Oct – 6th Nov

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

No Kings day in Beverly Hills.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

Mind-blowing science fact of the day: 800,000 years ago the ancestral species of modern humans almost went extinct. That species, our forefathers and foremothers, lived on Earth on the precipice of extinction for over 100,000 years.

Anyone worried he’ll end up ceding Alaska to Putin next week? 🙋🏻‍♂️

True, but will they just keep reelecting him? These people just keep voting against their own interests. SMDH

If a military parade marches down a street and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

With the $45 million being spent on the president's parade here’s what that money could do for veterans instead: House 3k veterans for an entire year in transitional housing Provide full PTSD treatment for 3.75k veterans for a year Deliver job training to 9k veterans through 12-week programs

We will not stand for this.

The brain drain will be when scientists are forced into other careers/jobs so that they can keep paying the bills. They will never return. There aren't enough science jobs in other countries to absorb even a fraction of those laid off.

Make no mistake. This is an extinction level event for American scientific dominance.

This should be amplified across all media outlets. They have no understanding or care how much damage this bill will do if it does in fact become law. All the millionaires in congress cannot relate to 'food or meds', not to mention the loss of services. It is the Murder Bill.

Well, this could very well mean the end of the flying phase of my life. How grotesque.

Trump: I'm going to give you this tiddly wink for $1 million. Billionaire: Why would I want that? Trump: You can cash it in for a favor. Billionaire: I'll take 100. This is not a hard concept.

Tulips are in full bloom all across Boston. ❤️

Also one of the things about a lot of intersectional research is that it helps a large swath of people or provides insights abt a broader scope than the particular people/groups studied. The classic example I know of is disability studies where design for disability turns out to help the gen pop +

She was a friend and I've just learned about this and I'm entirely heartbroken. variety.com/2025/music/n...

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Tonight the news about the disappearances to El Salvador prisons reminded me of the Holly Near song, Hay Una Mujer Desaparecida. “And the junta, and the junta knows And the junta knows where she is And the junta knows where they are hiding her, she's dying Hay una mujer desaparecida”

On my quest to read every book she ever wrote since discovering her last summer, I just finished reading another Ursula K Le Guin book! This was a short one, and is a very obvious allegory for the Vietnam war. Her writing was once again infectiously good, and the concepts in the book are amazing.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

“This politicization of US science … will, if left unchecked, create a vacuum to be filled with junk science, insider dealing, junk discoveries [and] wasted spending”. Joshua Weitz speaks up. 🧪 joshuasweitz.substack.com/p/whats-goin...

Welp, i got halfway through the RPPR and then received notice the MOSAIC program, and thus my MOSAIC R00 has been terminated. Thank you to those who made this program. Thank you to the other #NIHMOSAIC fellows have supported me through my faculty journey and continue to inspire me.

This week, my Somerville constituent Rümeysa Öztürk was abducted in broad daylight by DHS officials and sent to Louisiana to be locked in a detention center. She has not been charged with any crime.

If you want some insight into what’s going on in the US now:

Update: currently smashing some fantastic, borderline amazing, vegan dumplings and veggie-tofu stir fry.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.
