Canada's Grave Threat #cdnpoli A warning, Canada. Maple MAGA is gaining speed. It's a group of separatists & traitors built around the oil interests in Alberta - desperate to cut backroom deals with Trump. Trump's Canadian influence will be a cancer on the entire country.

Your annual reminder that in this day and age, posting hoax paleontology (and other science) "discoveries" on April Fool's Day **will be misinterpreted by MANY people** unless the discovery is incredibly absurd.

“I was expecting an attack on climate science,” @drkatemarvel.bsky.social said. “But actually, who they went after 1st was pediatric cancer & Parkinson’s research, and childhood vaccines. I was completely unprepared for an attack on science, because it’s a means of finding out & telling the truth.”

WhoWhatWhy: Trump is confused why Iran won’t allow him to dictate terms to them. Hey Trump, here's a peace plan, get the fuck out of Iran! #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

just this week: -- OpenAI killed Sora -- Disney subsequently cancelled its investment in OpenAI -- Wikipedia is now banning LLM-generated content ...tell me again how this is all "inevitable" and you have to "get on board or get left behind"?

Oh look, an effective legislator.

Whenever a news story about something Trump is doing declares that it's "a first for a sitting president" or "a change from tradition," replace it with "yet another authoritarian move from the president," and see if it sounds more accurate.

Trump's adding his signature to paper currency, according to Reuters.

If Paul Marshall of GB News says the planet "is currently in a gradual warming cycle" and thinks whether or not climate heating is being caused by human action is “still subject to debate”, he is ignoring decades of hard climate science. 🧪 www.theguardian.com/media/2026/m...

Sperm whales have been recorded headbutting for the first time by drone! This behavior has often been hypothesized (think Moby Dick) but never captured. Exciting news for the headbutting world! 🧪 doi.org/10.1111/mms....

As @drkatemarvel.bsky.social explains here, when the US admin ended the NASA climate modeling group's office lease, they were kicked out of their building -- and "have been kind of couch surfing at various NYC universities and libraries" since then. Unbelievable. Read more here:

This story checks out. The insider trading is about as obvious as it gets at this point. When will the DOJ and the FEC begin their investigations ? Or better yet issue some indictments ?

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.
