ok but…what does dark matter smell like?

if you’re out protesting elon/tesla with a sign with a sw*stika on it, you have lost the plot. you’re not protesting n*zis you’re marketing for them. in “protesting elon” you’ve screamed in the face of a Jewish woman while waving a hate symbol in her face. fuck you.

Members of Congress were just denied entry to the Department of Treasury. This is a 5 alarm fire.

I feel like we don't talk enough about how many lives have been saved by accurate, publicly available weather forecasts

Chris Murphy: "We don't pledge allegiance to the creepy 22 year olds working for Elon Musk. We pledge allegiance to the United States of America."

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

I think this means that I might be……Gohded with the sauce…

Sometimes when Katherine is ignoring me I dribble a little marinara on her until she’s annoyed enough to take action. Goaded with the sauce.

idc if this is some ill-conceived movie marketing, making ppl feel even less safe in a city that’s on fire is insane. -100/10

thankfully safe in LA but snapped some photos of the smoky, sunset sky

Dogged journalism at its best. And love @sphillipsab.bsky.social's take: "If I don’t pay my mortgage...the bank takes away my house. If oil companies don’t pay their monitoring fees, which are a condition of their approval to extract the resources that belong to Albertans, nothing happens.”

Three years later, the Alberta government has finally released names of 16 oilsands companies that allegedly flouted rules requiring them to pay for independent environmental monitoring by scientists. @mikedesouza.bsky.social obtained the data.

Nobel Prizes Overlook Black Scientists Because of This Quiet Bias

The way scientists recognize one another’s work overlooks the seminal contributions of Black scientists. The Nobel Committees need to recognize how this excludes Black scientists from awards

The beautiful thing about the movie Galaxy Quest is that I’m only somewhat sure Alan Rickman was acting and not just deeply irritated to be in the movie Galaxy Quest

as a little kid my family went to a theme park and they had a live animal planet show and i got chosen to go on stage and hold a giant snake while bats were released overhead. I think they were hoping for funny scared kid but it was magical, and now I do scicomm and am in grad a ch pool for biology
