Gonna spend the next two years spamming every elected Dem about the concept of "damnatio memoriae." Chisel his name off every inscription. Build over the various Trump Towers like they're Nero's Golden House. Remove him from physical memory, not to forget but as a sign of disrespect to the man.

This shows how far the carbon combustion complex will go to protect the fossil fuel industry. Basically rewriting the rules of SCOTUS.

I’m looking for an automated way to read others’s scientific data without giving credit or acknowledgement, and also claim full credit for insights from it. And I want it to have a fitting name
OAI: say no more
After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.
Basic workflow for community projection and adaptive dynamics analyses using R package adapt3.
Cool:
"Package adapt 3 is available on CRAN and can be used to study the nature and stability of ecological interactions, the mechanics of natural selection and even speciation."

The Constitution and a court order both say that the Everglades detention facility must allow people access to their attorneys.
Instead of complying, guards are cutting off people’s phone access and beating people who speak up.

This reality check by Rebecca Solnit grabs you right from the killer first sentence. Do yourself a favor & give it a read.
“I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,” Rep Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ) said, fighting back tears. The Tucson Democrat described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “It is frightening in there,” Grijalva said. “It is disgusting.”
And now...after the Artemis II success...this mess.
"March’s persistent heat was so intense that the continental US registered its most abnormally hot month in 132 years of records ... Not only was it the hottest March on record for the US, but the amount it was above normal beat any other month in history for the Lower 48 states."
Probably fine.
“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities..labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. And they’re replacing all of it..with fifteen political appointees”

@emorwee.bsky.social: “What really makes this story remarkable is not simply that oil executives got rich from a war. It’s how perfectly legal and normal it all is, and what that legality reveals about who wins and who loses when America goes to war.” open.substack.com/pub/heated/p...
All Republican members of Congress, no matter what other good and bad things they've done in their lives, will be remembered for choosing party over country and keeping this guy in office when it's clear that he's 100% unfit for office.
1/25 New paper out in PNAS! We show that the fitness costs of reproductive specialization, where somatic cells give up reproduction, scale inversely with organism size. Larger organisms can afford far more soma, removing a key barrier to multicellular complexity.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will.
The utter, horrid contrast
We’re in the incredibly short period where you can pretend to do news by AIing it. The modality is parasitic on real news sources, which it’s killing off. We’ll be left with nothing but hallucinated slop.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.
This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.
The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.
This is very very big. Like a big deal and massive cuts. These can’t even be seen as budgetary since you don’t get much savings in the context of trillions budget. They want the US out of R&D out of science research.
A newly discovered fossil site in southwest China has transformed our understanding of how complex animal life emerged on Earth, revealing that many key animal groups had already evolved before the start of the Cambrian Period

All but three (!) of the 1,651 refugees admitted into the United States in the three most recent months we have data are white South Africans.
For comparison, in 2024, the U.S. admitted 100,060 refugees. It's an explicit white supremacist project.

Our Military, the greatest and most powerful (by far!) anywhere in the World, hasn’t even started destroying what’s left in Iran. Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants! New Regime leadership knows what has to be done, and has to be done, FAST! President DONALD J.TRUMP
Trump is committing war crimes in Iran and is threatening more and worse ones. His entire war strategy at this point is war crimes. A functional Congress would be far down the road of impeachment and removal.
A deliberate, symbolic strike on civilian infrastructure with no case for military utility. As clear cut as LOAC violations come.
Reading the President of the United States' opinions on world economics and relationships between global powers sandwiched between ads for parasite cures and bunion relief. What a time to be alive.
