Here’s what Jimmy Kimmel said that prompted the threats made by the FCC chair: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

Education is the enemy of fascism.

They're treating the discourse about Kirk in the same way they treated the discourse surrounding genocide in Gaza.

There. Is. No. Such. Thing. Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries. "Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.

It’s hard to get someone to understand something when their salary depends on NOT understanding it.   Well, the Republican Party depends on fossil fuel money.

8 of the top 10 (13 of the top 20) are now in China. The US is in decline, and that includes our basic and applied science, scientific publications, and knowledge mobilization. 🧪

The MSM whitewashing of Kirk is in full swing. They talk about his advocacy for civil debate, but they won’t play anything he said to stoke incivility. They talk about his opposition to violence, but nobody talks about his role in J6. We are watching Kirk’s history being rewritten in real time.

Can video games help advance #archaeology? By inputting their 3D model of South Africa's Sterkfontein Caves into the Unreal video game engine, researchers made this key site in human evolution research more accessible than ever #NationalVideoGamesDay Learn more 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺

It is quite simply dishonest to describe TPUSA as a “free speech” organization and not even mention the “Professor Watchlist,” as NPR just did. Reporting on a crime does not entail adopting the victim’s views.

Students were eating lunch when they heard the gunshots. It’s yet another horrific school shooting, and every time my heart breaks for the kids, parents, and communities shattered by gun violence. We can’t stop demanding change. Congress can and must pass gun safety legislation.

All college/university students should be required to take at least one course on human evolution. People should know how and where we came from.

We need this, but from a scientist.

Archeologists used near-infrared images of mummies’ tattoos, and partnered with a modern tattoo artist to analyze inking techniques from the Iron Age in Siberia.

There’s plenty of disinformation trying to blame the nascent offshore wind industry for whale deaths without evidence. Not only is that misleading, it also takes the focus away from solutions that might actually address the leading causes of death — vessel strikes and entanglement with fishing gear.

People keep blaming the rise of fascism on the books women are reading but you know what I think the real cause is? Giving stupid people's opinions the same merit and consideration as the experts.

So they’re just allowing the boosters to crash into the Gulf now?

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...

The fascism is here. "What would you do if fascism came to America?" You're doing it.
