I know it’s a small thing but is it just me or do others hate Trump’s guts for sowing all this chaos when we should all be excited about what the Artemis II astronauts are accomplishing right now? 🍊🖕

Trump Slashed Science Funding. Now the U.S. Could Face a Costly Brain Drain.

This is real. America led the world on science. Now we are falling behind to China and Europe. The poacher has become the poached.

Widen your gaze and look upon Lebanon.

Nearly a million people have been displaced by Israel in the past 3 weeks.

They've been told not to return.

That's ethnic cleansing.

The last time Israel occupied Southern Lebanon, Hezbollah was born.

What horrors will be unleashed now?

Status Scoop | ProPublica's Walkout Warning: The possibility of ProPublica staffers walking off the job just got far more serious. Unionized staffers at the nonprofit newsroom voted overwhelmingly this week to authorize a strike, Natalie Korach has learned. The ProPublica Guild represents about 150 journalists, videographers, and other newsroom employees. A major sticking point in the negotiations with management has centered on the use of artificial intelligence in reporting, with the union demanding protections from having jobs replaced by the rapidly advancing technology. “We are ready to walk off the job to show management that their refusal to agree to basic protections will not be tolerated and that we will not accept anything less than a fair contract,” said Agnel Philip, unit chair of ProPublica Guild.

During her rebuttal speech, Virginia Gov. Spanberger (D) told stories of children impacted by President Trump’s hard-line immigration strategy and discussed the Americans killed by ICE — an issue that polling shows is driving some away from the president. https://wapo.st/3ZQywBr

Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe destroys Kash Patel's LIES of why he was in Italy: “The excuse that he had to go for security meetings the day before the games are over is patently ridiculous." He added that is done months before, "not the day of the final hockey game.” Arrest Kash!

Kash Patel is now living the rock star lifestyle he has always dreamed up flying in a private jet to play golf in Scotland with his buddies, taking the jet on dates with his girlfriend and heading to Italy to party with the US Olympic team. The problem is we are the ones paying for this BS!

My all time favorite superhero. I picked up my first issue (Nova vs Thor) off a spinner rack at my local pharmacy when I was 10 years old. My dad sent me there every Sunday with a dollar: 70 cents for the Boston Sunday Globe and then 30 cents for a comic book.thank you Marv.

Trump Rips US Olympic Skier Hunter Hess: 'A Real Loser' President Donald Trump attacked Olympic skier Hunter Hess for saying he has "mixed emotions" about representing the U.S. at the 2026 Games.

Trump outraged that a US Olympic athlete subtly criticized his ICE forces. Trump wants us to be silent as he sends masked troops to oppress and kill Americans. Being silent now is complicity in Trump's crimes against humanity. www.mediaite.com/media/news/t...

Does anyone have experiences to share about creating Zenodo communities for their institution or research groups? I'm thinking of proposing to create one for mine, but I'd like to know more about any benefits if any.
