Since Barack Obama, Democratic presidential candidates and "dark money" groups have raised more money than Republicans--often doubling them. So much of the Dem money is wasted. Publishing a piece on this Sunday explaining these graphs and much more. I need your help to make the piece viral. Thanks!

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

And here's what happened when we tried to find out where a specific generic—atorvastatin, one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in the US—was made, and the steps we took to try to figure that out (spoiler alert: it's a journey): www.propublica.org/article/fda-...

This is fucking reckless. Tech bros need to be checked hard

I told my editor this winter I felt we were seeing a lot of murder-suicides, more than I'd ever reported on in my career. He told me I should look into it. I'm sad to say that hunch was accurate, but it turned into a 3-part series on domestic violence homicides in NC. (1/6)

Young men online are not okay... neither are people posting for official government accounts... and neither are Republican staffers... In this deep dive @franifio.bsky.social explores how all these incredibly online worlds intersect in the deep dark bowels of the "irony-coded" internet.

I am writing this because it has swiftly become crystal clear to me that many people have no idea what is happening or how this works. Here is a thread for non-academics to put into context what just happened to Dr. Mark Bray, a fellow historian.

This seems an eye-catching finding. H5N1 flu viruses - like the avian influenza H5N1 virus infecting dairy cattle in the US – can persist in cheese made from contaminated raw milk. Raw milk-cheeses include Cheddar, Comté and Parmigiano Reggiano, to name but a few. 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

If any of you fine folks are planetarians in (or want to be in) mid-Michigan, the Abrams Planetarium is hiring a full-time-staff position for the first time in 11 years!! Come work with the astro, scicomm, and informal ed folks at MSU!! 🔭 🧪 (reskeets welcome) careers.msu.edu/jobs/educati...

Saw Godspeed you! Black emperor tonight. They put on an excellent show as always. If you ever get a chance you should see them 🎶🎧 #musicsky

I want to chime in here to explain why something like "Chemistry BA" probably appears on this list and why it's a bad and stupid thing to cut. Only guessing at the Syracuse-specific details but I know the big picture. Thread: 🧵

Check out this scatterplot of health spending per capita (x axis) & life expectancy (y axis) in OECD countries (lines = averages). The United States sits alone in the bottom right area due to its very high spending rate and below-average life expectancy. More www.oecd.org/en/publicati... 🧪

@caseynewton.bsky.social man these AI dudes, doomers and hype men, always talk fast and gish galop. You should have pushed back on his base assumptions like that it will become intelligent and that it will be able to kill us

Aneurysm just played and it took me back to when Kurt died and the local radio station (89x) played it for 24 hours straight (or maybe it was a whole weekend) as tribute 🎶🎧 #musicsky youtu.be/AE3ynTXTm_8?...

@androidlust.bsky.social still got it I see :)

Wikipedia's resistance to enshittification is fascinating to me.

While the firehose of MAHA disinformation continues, @franifio.bsky.social does an excellent job at looking at the man's first few months in power. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhr6...

My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

20,500 workers, or ~18% of the HHS workforce have left/been pushed out. Food and drug inspectors are buying their own supplies to test for pathogens. Some labs can't purchase the sterile eggs or mice needed to replicate viruses to test vaccines. 🧪🔗 projects.propublica.org/federal-heal...

Why do treehoppers look so weird?! Our latest paper, out this week in @pnas.org, suggests a perhaps unexpected reason - static electricity ⚡ We show that treehoppers can detect the electrostatic cues of predators and that their crazy shapes may boost their electrosensitivity! doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

i hate myself for making this one and if you retweet it you suck

Finally got a chance to watch the @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social routine about Trump and Epstein that came out a few days ago. I am blown away that he managed to put together a full hour of stand-up about breaking news and it's somehow polished and funny as hell. Give it a watch and share it.

Do not stay at a Hyatt hotel. They're running fake "smoking detectors" specifically as a revenue-generating scheme and arbitrarily fining guests $500. threadreaderapp.com/thread/19459...
