This was good, but it was so disappointing to hear John Stewart say that scientists aren't doing anything to counter RFK/MAHA. Just a remarkable level of ignorance and naivity about what "we" are up against. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Will Paramount Cancel Jon Stewart?

The “Daily Show” host talks with David Remnick about his contract with Paramount Skydance, the government’s attack on political satire, and how our institutions got so weak.

14/ Professor Kees Ribbens, senior researcher at the NIOD Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies, says that the removal appears to be the result of a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation, which is currently the focus of controversy over anti-Semitism.

This is Jupiter recorded by Voyager 1 in 1979. Note the difference in speed & direction of the zones of the atmosphere. This turbulence is erratic and makes it hard to predict when the red spot will appear over a period time. Named Blue Movie as it was built from blue filter images. #Astronomy

Glad to see the "Chicago rat hole" (rodent-body imprint) of January 2024 Internet fame was studied more, but just to add my $0.02: Many folks missed the tracks leading away from the body imprint, meaning the squirrel (not rat) fell & splatted in wet concrete, but then walked it off. 🧪🐿️🐾

Photo showing the outline of small rodent body as a negative (concave) impression in sidewalk concrete, with left two limbs clearly defined but missing the upper right limb (arm) and only part of the right rear limb (leg); a thin tail is implied by a pointed imprint behind the main body imprint. The photo is labeled with "Direction of rodent movement" and a red arrow pointing to the upper right of the photo, and a red circle is around a set of rodent tracks in the upper right near the body imprint, labeled as "Rodent tracks."

🧪Did I really have time for this story? No, I did not, for reasons I'll be sharing soon. Did I absolutely feel compelled to write it anyways? You know I did! A viral mystery solved by science. Read on @sciencenews.bsky.social Also, I have a new to-do for my trip to Chicago for #SciWri25 next month!

Here is your Saturday Spider. It's a twig spider (maybe Ariamnes sp.?) in Madagascar, at night in the forest; it has captured another spider, which is the soccer-ball thing near its fangs. About 1 inch long. (I've shared this elsewhere before, but I think not here. Sorry, if so.) #Arachtober 🐙🌿

A photo of a spider called a twig spider, standing atop a straight, thin, dry twig, parallel to it, stretching in a level line left to right. The background is pure black. The spider has very long legs and an extremely elongated, twig-like abdomen. It has captured a smaller spider and has it wrapped up in a silk ball; two straight strands of silk are visible, one starting at the spinnerets and anchored to the twig, the other attached to the prey and leading left, out of frame.

The D2282 partial cranium from Dmanisi, Georgia, found in 1999, is attributed to Homo erectus and is approximately 1.77 million years old. This specimen, now associated with the D211 mandible, is one of five individuals known from the site, the earliest fossil hominins outside of Africa. #inktober

Standing at the Cosmic Crossroads Will we choose enlightenment — curiosity, discovery, and progress? Or will we choose regression — prejudice, superstition, and a new Dark Age? History is watching. Our children are watching. The future depends on what we do now. 🧪🔭 🔗 medium.com/@shanil.vira...

Standing at the Cosmic Crossroads

Science lifted us to the Moon & beyond. But in this dark hour, will we choose progress or another dark age?
