This seems like good news. I hope this is good news for some of you, specifically. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/04/c...

THE $168 BILLION WAS TAKEN ILLEGALLY AND THE GOVERNMENT DIDN’T WANT TO GIVE IT BACK. Kill me I’ve wasted my life.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 19h agoBessent: "Here at the Treasury, I had $168 billion of tariff revenues that we're gonna have to refund. So when the Democrats scream, "Oh, the refunds should go back to the American people!', well, the American people had it, it was in the Treasury and it was paying down the debt."

Donald Griffin, discoverer of bat echolocation, was born OTD 1915. I imagine “small mammals enough like ourselves to feel that I could understand what their lives would be like, and yet different enough to make it a sort of adventure and exploration to see what they were doing.” 🐋🌱🧪 #HistSTM

A few days ago, someone replied to one of my posts with a bunch of video game soda machine screenshots. I bookmarked the posts so I could go back and catalog them later, but it looks like they've been deleted. If you're out there and reading this, would you mind posting them again? Thanks!
This short-term funding bill blocks a corrupt policy that would allow Trump to hold even more federal grants hostage—and it closes House Republicans' loophole to pull funding for other agencies to give to Border Patrol. My full statement.⬇️

Daniel Lakens@lakens.bsky.social · 4d agoLet's take Zenodo - the platform we will all use in the future to share our data (sorry, OSF). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zenodo A major investment from European science funding. John Arnold and the OSF is small potatoes compared to just this single infrastructure.
Update: Google just sent me a statement saying it is “rolling back” this AI feature that let anyone make completely bullshit satellite images. Comes after our demos of the tool and those from OSINT researchers. One of the worst AI tools I’ve ever seen bsky.app/profile/jose...
Joseph Cox@josephcox.bsky.social · 5d agoNew from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...

charjaebug@jael.bsky.social · 5d agoPennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro now says “hell no” to part of a giant data center outside of Philly This comes after I reported emails exposing talks between his administration & the developer, real estate magnate Brian O’Neill, about Amazon being too scared to invest in it
I wrote last year about the US Administration's plans to eviscerate Optional Practical Training, America's largest single source of global STEM talent: www.piie.com/blogs/realti... That came to pass. The White House is sharpening its tools to shatter OPT, and thus kneecap many US universities.

Sarah Lazare@sarahlazare.bsky.social · 6d agoThe former Pittsburgh Post-Gazette workers who went on strike for 3+ years, only to have the owners sell the paper and fire most of them, have started their own cooperative news org. Important reporting by @maximillianalvarez.bsky.social
This is more than the NSF social sciences division - now on the chopping block - awarded in grants last year. Think about that: a single AI company has the money to fund more social science research than the US govt.
