On Bill Gates saying we should shift away from stopping emissions and focus on taking care of people. That's hospice right? The planet is dying and he's suggesting we make humans comfortable while it happens...
Scientists do not make their research choices politically, they follow the data. The right only sees good science as leftist indoctrination because they've made their entire platform about denying reality and by default that puts science to the left. In reality, science is, by default, the middle
Steal clean air and water, and natural resources that benefit the mind and body from the poor. Because only the rich deserve such luxury. Make sure the resources are scarce enough that they are forced to rely on you for them.
The consequences for cuts like these and others by this sham HHS led be a maniac never fall on people within their social class. They don't see consequences to their actions, they can't think of a thing hurting them so "it must be harmless" and the regulations just get in the way

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article
Scientists love to debate and argue, but if there are 3 things every scientist absolutely agrees on, it's that:

This, as RFK J., is dismantling infectious disease infrastructure. So many people will be harmed by this administration, in and outside of America. Disgusting.
Been saying this for years, my unnatural disdain for pandas aside.

Same except the anxiety keeps me going until my brain decides the day is over at around 1 pm, right in the middle of something important

Unfortunately, this might be the best option at this point. We are already falling swiftly behind the rest of the world with more harm on the way. It's a balance between what good can we do here vs. how much can we take and that keeps tilting in the wrong direction
I live for their psychotic social media campaigns
Unfortunately this is America, this is what America has always been. But there is a promise of getting better that we are dramatically failing right now.
After two years, I’ve revived the Tiny Living Beings podcast and season 2 ep 1 is out! Bolton Howes, a sedimentary geologist, gives us a history of the Earth and does a great job, especially navigating my dinosaur excitement. Found everywhere you get podcasts.

Some highlights from a #StandUpForScience rally today. Crazy that we have to spend our lunch break defending our existence but the solidarity felt nice.

How many times do we have to hear some variation on, "civil servant resigns because they don't want to fuck things up for everyone or commit acts of corruption and treason."
I'll be speaking at this event next week! Get your signs ready and come on down!

The military choir sang Do You Hear the People Sing from Les Mis at the governor's dinner at the white house. Thanks to @beebrookshire.bsky.social for helping me fact check tihs one. As far as I can it's only "officially" been posted on Dan Scavino's FB
As a very small act of resistance, which is to continue creating reliable science content for non-scientists, I’ve decided to revive my podcast from 2022. The first episode of season 2 will be released on March 10th on all podcast platforms!
By all means, rush building air force one jets. Relax those safety standards for Trump's plane, best news we've had so far!
