Republians are always so eager to demonstrate how hateful and disconnected from reality they are.

Moreno to Fauci: "Who the fuck did you think you were?"

Should be a bigger story— “Alexandra Bravo, prosecutor investigating 🇺🇸 strikes on 3 Ecuadorian boats and survivor accounts of torture/kidnapping, shot dead… hitman on a black motorcycle opened fire… Bravo’s sister jumped to protect her, also killed…” www.dropsitenews.com/p/prosecutor...

This can’t be reformed. It’s not a training issue. The agents who murdered Pretti and Good, and who shot Sosa-Celis have been agents for more than 8 years. I’ll be voting for candidates who support dismantling DHS and abolishing ICE.

"Tonk" is a Border Patrol slur that refers to the sound a metal flashlight makes when used to beat a migrant in the head. And that's the word that Border Patrol agents under the direct command of Greg Bovino were using when bragging about their arrests in Los Angeles last year.

The double pendulum isn’t random and it is not broken physics. It is deterministic chaos, a system governed by precise rules that can still behave unpredictably. It’s one of the most iconic and widely studied examples of chaos theory in physics, mathematics, and engineering. IG: @quantumdigest

People with money are never held accountable in this country. If the laws don't apply to everyone,you don't have a country. You have a country in which poor people have to obey or else.

We need to return to a country that believes in science and higher education

Congress seems quite prepared to let him destroy America

Welp, another friend left NASA today. Day by day the harm to science increases. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Trump administration concedes that it canceled research grants in blue states

The Trump administration conceded that 284 research grants were canceled because they were in states that voted against President Donald Trump in 2024.

Thanks to the "Art of Planetary Science' for the first and second place awards! Leaving my faculty position to pursue art and music from physics was/is very risky but it is wonderful to know that others appreciate my work. #sciart

Atmospheric CO2 levels may directly kill us before the rising temperatures do.

So much in this paper. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good. I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Another sunset. Not everyone has grass to touch but we all have the sky.

The GOP party that plotted to send fake electors from 7 states are telling us how important election integrity is… So fucking laughable, isn’t it?! 😎✨

Jon Ossoff sums it up: “This is the cruelest & most arrogant group of people who ever ascended to high office - their cruelty & arrogance are only matched by their incompetence."

NEW: After ProPublica and @texastribune.org revealed Ken Paxton repeatedly voted while registered at an address where he appears to no longer live, Democrats called for an investigation into whether the Texas attorney general committed election fraud.

Texas Democrats Ask for Investigation Into Ken Paxton After Our Reporting Found He May Have Violated Election Law

The complaint asks the Texas secretary of state to examine whether Paxton committed election fraud by voting in the May primary runoff while registered at an address where he no longer appears to live...

Whoopsie daisy. 🤣😂🤣😂

Guidestars.

One of the quiet bright moments of lockdown was Sam Neill serenading us on the ukulele. This type of tenderness feels rare nowadays, how lucky we were. Thank you for everything. ❤️❤️❤️

Physics allows us to see the world how it truly is, rather than what we think it is. 'Polar Flowers' shows us how the Earth's magnetic field unfurls for the magnetic poles in the same way a flower opens. #sciart

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! As of July 13th, the global ocean sea-surface temperature has set a daily record for the 42nd day in a row. Yesterday's global sea-surface temperatures is 0.10°C hotter than any previous July 13th on record. Here's the breakdown, by decade:

Grilled some fajitas last night and got a great sear on the outside. Jut the right amount of crunch.

Mr. Frog visited earlier in the day so there was more light for a photo. Still haven't figured out where he calls home.

BREAKING: the Judge in the bogus Trump v IRS case that resulted in the $1.7b slush fund has SANCTIONED the attorneys, referred Blanche, Woodward, & Brito to the Bar, nullified the “settlement”, and awarded monetary sanctions! More to come… storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thou shalt not whitewash a Senator’s lifelong racism and warmongering. You will all be remembered accordingly for your words and deeds.

'Pinnacle' explores the impact of brightness on our perception. Technically this artwork is a landscape of the Earth when viewed from space. In practical terms though this piece will literally brighten your day. #sciart

This is the "Dawn of Space". This piece emerged from my breakthrough physics in understanding the distribution of electric fields and potential around the Earth. The problem was so complex that the community considered a solution impossible. I not only solved it, I created art from it. #sciart

At this point I’m really just grateful I can still draw and write. I’m very, very disabled, and I can still do the two things I’ve always wanted to do with my life. I can’t do it on any sort of schedule, and I can’t monetise it in any consistent way, but I can do it, and that means a lot to me

"Blink and You'll Miss It" celebrates the surprises that come with science research. The artwork isn't just an interesting picture, it emerged from my research into plasma physics. Experience the Earth from Space as only physics can reveal. #sciart

So over on FB I have a U.S. Congressman accusing me of being a paid agitator because I post on his page 2-3 times per day. For a psychopath who insults people on a constant basis he sure has a bunch of crocodile tears that I'm not nice to him.
