Did u know that when we blocked assholes instead of arguing with them Bluesky was cool and awesome and fewer people saw the assholes’ posts? now u know you are not going to convince them or make them feel bad and there’s no scoreboard You’re just smearing shit on the camera lens

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Science didn't turn partisan! It's been politicized & partisanized by conservatives whose cruel, theocratic, destructive policies (banning books, forced birth, climate denialism, gender essentialism) are all directly contradicted by scientific evidence.

An exchange on X; Marcia McNutt is president of the National Academy of Sciences. Incredible to me that anyone would construe defending science against attack by the government as "partisan politics." It would be equally worth defending no matter which party was in power.

In light of the news on my first day of sabbatical: gender is a social construct, trans women are women, no amount of complying with authoritarians who pretend they will only strip some people but not you of rights will keep you safe. And in 2025 university administrators should know all of that.

For the 1st time since slavery, people born in the US can be denied citizenship. And the states which will deny that citizenship are exactly the states with the worst history of genocide, slavery & apartheid.

"Learn to code" was always bad advice, unless you actually like to code. College students have the best chance of professional success if they major in topics that interest them. Today in @startribune.com. Please tell high school students and parents. www.startribune.com/what-should-...

BEGGING LIBERALS TO READ THIS

Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on: “We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Some people believe this because demagogues have blamed immigrants for taking their jobs and leeching public benefits when in fact the reason people struggle to get by in the US is capitalism and an utter lack of a social safety net

jamelle@jamellebouie.net · last yr.

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

When I was a student: existence of exoplanets was conjecture & I heard jokes that Dan Goldin (then-NASA Admin) wanted NASA to take images of beachfront property on exoplanets. The idea of a *photo* of an exoplanet was *absurd.* And here we are. No beachfront property yet, but we're making progress.

Paul Byrne@theplanetaryguy.com · last yr.

These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

I will continue the List as long as I am able, and I will do my best to support chemistry faculty job seekers in this small manner. Thanks for reading.

One attitude driving MAGA policy is the failure to accept the reality of interdependence. Slapping tariffs, shunning NATO, cutting USAID rely on disbelieving that we're connected across nations. Cutting FEMA, Dept of Ed, etc: we're connected across states. SocSec: we're connected across generations.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

Folks, exactly 5 years ago today I made this offer, & I'll do it again. Many graduate students are in danger of losing their one field season for collecting data- in March 2020 because of the pandemic, now because of Musk-Trump BS. This means that many won't be able to finish graduate school. 🧪🧵

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

There’s a brand new SFF bookstore in town, so of course I had to visit. Limited myself to just one book but I think I chose well with @melissacaruso.bsky.social and The Last Hour Between Worlds.

The labor movement and antitrust movements were both fundamentally correct: the size and amoral character of modern corporations make them a threat to democracy.

I cannot wrap my head around the fact that there were apparently many people out there whose greatest desire in life, barely containable, was not to provide for their kids or have a good life but to…be able to say out loud they hate Black people and women and gay and trans people and disabled people

If you have students who are trans no you don’t. If you have students of color who may be affected by ICE no you don’t. If anyone asks you gender or racial the makeup of your class you don’t have to tell them. Protect your class and protect your students by not complying in advance. They trust you.

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

love to remember what life was like before the internet because my wifi is out and damn i can just Read. they should advertise books like this

Beginning to doubt that wokeness is the biggest threat to higher education

Gotta love Republican logic…. Trans people are too weak physically and mentally to fight in the military, but ALSO too strong and too competitive to play sports. Yep…. That’s some logic there apple.news/Avm3GeCQjT8O... apple.news/AZfvTJ3uOQJi...

What Trump's Ban on Trans Military Service Reveals About His Plans — The New Republic

The rhetoric in the president’s executive order claims that trans identity is a form of dishonesty and moral weakness. It’s setting the stage for further legal assaults.
