How many times does this have to happen and how many immigrants terrorized. Same result every fucking time. This country does not run without immigrants.

Save NASA Science Action Hub Updates and actions on the proposed cuts to NASA science in FY 2027.

If you’ve been moved & inspired by Artemis, NASA needs your help. Literally during A2, the president proposed cutting NASA science 47%, canceling 54 missions, including many already in-flight. To help stop these cuts, check out @planetarysociety.bsky.social www.planetary.org/save-nasa-sc...

People saying that student protestors were ineffective in protesting for Gaza really are missing that public sentiment has swung pretty fast and far on that, and they were absolutely a part of that.

I'm 40 been protesting and organizing since I was 16, I've organized a union consisting entirely of people in their late teens and early 20's, I professionally organized students for a decade.

I'm STILL around engaged young folks and families.

So here's my perspective (cont):

Uh, also many foreign students pay more, even unfairly more- essentially subsidizing locals to attend. (Like upwards of 80k vs 16k in-state for Cal)

VP is lying. Full of ignorant, disingenuous bullshit, playing on people's anxieties.

Title: Hunting for Easter eggs with Werner Herzog

Panel one: Werner goes out looking for eggs saying “I despise this idiotic sanitized ritual, and yet I am unwilling to return home eggless”

Panel two: Werner stands before an egg on the ground “The joy of discovery rings hollow against the monumental indifference of the universe”

Panel three: Werner carries an egg “what, other than regret, can hatch from this empty chocolate vessel”

Imagine being prejudiced against someone for saying "I volunteer for taxes and jury duty." The whole immigration debate would be over in a day if we had more of those dogs that only bite racists.

The White House just unveiled a budget with a 50% cut to NASA science (astrophysics, climate change, etc) and overall 23% cut to NASA

The goal: make NASA only for things like Artemis, which is explicitly a militarization and commercialization mission

I'm pretty sure Congress will restore NASA's proposed budget, if not fully, at least mostly, as they did with last year's ridiculous and devastating proposed cuts by Trump.

For those of you who love space exploration: we have robots exploring all across the solar system, and they can’t make anybody any money, they just discover cool stuff, so billionaires aren’t interested. Rovers and orbiters at Mars, orbiter at Jupiter, missions on the way to distant asteroids…

Everyone needs to just keep repeating this, over and over.

The politics of a case is NOT JUST ABOUT THAT CASE. There is a meta-game here too.

This case is surely going to be used as cover for gutting the VRA. And too many pundits are going to fall for it.

a sigil from the game fallen london which means "the vexing improbability which, nevertheless, is the result you got"

How do you turn a vast text game like Fallen London into a TTRPG?

We've spent a year working with @magpiegames.bsky.social to do exactly that.

In May, backers will get the first look at the full PDF of the game (and you can still back, actually).

What have we learned?

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape.

What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

This Company Is Secretly Turning Your Zoom Meetings into AI Podcasts WebinarTV hosts 200,000 “webinars.” A Zoom call you may thought was private might be one of them.

This is wild: a company is secretly scanning the internet for Zoom meeting links and turning them into AI-generated podcasts for $$$. Some meeting participants only found out after we told them. Included meeting on protecting kids from ICE, was supposed to be private www.404media.co/this-company...

The amount of skepticism I have for this spacecraft is colossal.

There's no mention of SR1 anywhere on NASA's site. Some news of advances in nuclear propulsion are on the site but nothing indicating they're ready to build such a rocket. Having one built and ready to go in less than 2 years? Huh.

Tea’s caffeine is modified by L-theanine, which acts like a modulator, the theobromine is another modifier,and the tannins grab the caffeine molecules and behave like time release technology. So coffee’s caffeine ends up hitting more like an excitant while tea‘s is more diffused.

This is now the LOST generation for all doctoral research, from engineering to public health, from literature to psychology, from religion to economics. Some programs will suffer more than others, but this is a tremendous loss to the future. This is ALL on #RussellVought #DonaldTrump #JDVance.

Something I didn’t anticipate about living under full Federal fascism is how quickly I would forget things. Things that happened a week ago are quickly memory-holed because we have to endure a daily firehose of bullshit.

Yesterday, I decided to watch/listen to Bruce’s Streets of Minneapolis again.
