Atul Butte died yesterday. The world lost a giant. A big bear of a man. With a huge smile. With love for everyone. With energy that could power a room. I loved everything about Atul. I loved how he was always happy. I loved how excited he was about science and helping people.

Good news!! They have extended the public comment period until June 7th! So you still have time to submit!! The proposed rule could have huge negative impacts for the federal government, particularly the more technical agencies.

I guess if you can’t be bothered to learn what the science actually says about vaccinating pregnant people and kids against Covid, you probably also can’t be arsed to learn what your argency’s formal procedures are for changing vaccine recommendations, either.

The #NHLJets are huddled around Mark Scheifele in the middle of the ice. One by one, they're hugging him. What a heartbreaking ending to a more-than heartbreaking day for No. 55.

It was a great season of hockey from the #NHLJets. Fun to watch

This is the goalie duel I’ve been waiting 6 games for. The two best American goalies, standing on their heads.

Scheif ❤️

Been thinking of Mark Scheifele, his dad and his family all day. What he's doing tonight takes courage. It's important. Whatever happens, he's always going to have that.

This kid is 15, and so has a moral clarity and uprightness that no adult elected official would or could ever have. There aren't really and never have been two sides of this issue, but if it has to be argued as a binary thing I don't see how anything less than this could seem like the side to be on.

Sucker punch, what a coward Benn is. Wouldn’t expect anything else from that guy.

Bizarre sequence. Don't think I've seen someone poke a ref with a stick for a non call before.

You’re gonna be hearing the MVP chants cause Connor Hellebuyck just made a ridiculous save….. Dear Mama. Also Josh Morrissey with a big assist to knock it away from danger.

Joel Quenneville helped cover up the sexual abuse of one of his own players. He's not fit to ever coach again at any level.

Stars were making a line change right before their goal, and Appleton seemingly stares at the puck the entire time and just covers what he thinks is the lane for the cross ice pass, and no one takes Dadonov at the backdoor

Chef Tristen on an all time Top Chef run. We are blessed to be witnessing greatness.

A game for the ages. The Jets made a seemingly impossible comeback and Hellebuyck redeemed himself after a very shaky start. He ended with basically 0 GSAx this game. You really can't get any better than this.

The captain ends double OT Winnipeg is going insane as they advance to the second round. Join us to discuss on the IC Post-Game Show. www.youtube.com/live/Jhdqzpr...

I am deceased. That hockey game killed me. But it was so so worth it

The lack of pushback from #NHLJets is so demoralizing. We have to carry the label of perpetual loser, then fight off all the talk of playoff chokes. With you to the end, but this is just awful.

US science crumbles in real time.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

Ugly, gritty win for #NHLJets. They need to rethink the bottom pair and put some lines in a blender. Because that effort won't win Game 6.

I agree with Murat. The narrative is all about Helle (deservedly) but at the end of the day, Jets won’t win unless secondary scoring shows up. Anyone outside 55, 81 and 91.

The counter exhibit was so deeply impactful and affecting. Dismantling these exhibits sanitizes the past. blackpressusa.com/the-smithson...

I think that's a goal but not conclusive enough to overturn.

Worst period of Jets hockey this year.

Hagel should have been kicked out for that hit.

Stars now with more wins in this series than minutes spent leading

Kiddos concert, playoff OT hockey, and a Switch 2 pre-order confirmed. Not a bad night!

I love playoff hockey

It was 4-0.

Puck over glass video challenge in EDM @downgoesbrown.bsky.social must be so thrilled.

Jets!!!!!

Can’t beat this environment. #nhljets

Things can be fixed.

I can’t believe Ovie tied the record. Never thought anyone would get here

Hey, folks! I know the world is REAL weird right now, but my book comes out today! It's silly and stupid and goofy and hopefully fun for you, the reader. Buy it now wherever books are sold!

Killing off our research facilities and talent pipelines is perhaps the biggest, dumbest self-own in American history.

#New: Huge crowd gathers for #StandUpForScience2025 rally in San Francisco:

holy John Gibson

before trans participation in sports was banned in utah in 2022: • 4/75,000 school athletes were trans • 1/75,000 was a trans girl not that it’s ever been about sports or numbers and not that the number matters even a little but tuberville’s bullshit is *so* outrageously untrue.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org
