Lee Billings@leebillings.bsky.social · 9h agoNow on @sciam.bsky.social: Behold! These are the sharpest images of the sun's surface ever obtained, and they reveal something *wild*: never-before-seen whirlpools of plasma called Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities that are fundamental to solar energy flow. www.scientificamerican.com/article/spec...
i mean, to have 350 accounts is crazy and a sign of major financial shenaigans! I am trying to imagine what the press and GOP would say if this were Obama.
Vivian@mimorinsama.bsky.social · yesterdayCall me crazy, but if a Democratic president had 350 accounts closed by their bank for money laundering it’d be more than a blip in the media
to be a republican means you never have to actually make sense.

are these guys incapable of saying "I don't want Nazis or bigots on my platform"? They always end up saying they wish there were more.

Wurman is saying "behave and don't make me go Trumpy" as a blackmail threat. its abusive language.
Evan Bernick, a finite mode with a smol hooman and a lorg floof@evanbernick.bsky.social · 3w agoAt the risk of fanning the flames of this: IW appears to believe that harsh criticism of him personally justifies restricting the academic freedom of everyone. If not, I’d like to hear him say that newly minted academics should be free to say he’s trafficking in bigotry.
these two men are idiots and this discussion is, being polite, delusional.
Daniel Drezner@dandrezner.bsky.social · 3w agoWell let’s see if Ezra Klein and Danielle Allen say anything interesting….
i mean, its blatantly illegal, but Republicans don't have to follow the law anymore, apparently.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 3w agoNEW: Months after FCC Commissioner Olivia Trusty cast a decisive vote approving Paramount’s historic $8 billion merger with Skydance Media, she and a guest accepted Kennedy Center gala tickets from the company worth more than $12,000.

Michael Sheldon 🌎@michaelsheldo.bsky.social · 4w agoLooks like we need a national campaign in the UK to educate our footballers. Seriously. If lost young men want any extra validation / justification that crime, misogyny, rape, white supremacy, hate and cheating is okay, then Harry Kane who so many look up too, just gave them that. #HarryKane
