Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.
correct - you deserve more/ higher praise than that

To say the quiet part out loud - NO country should have nuclear weapons.
NONE.
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
There can no longer be quiet acceptance of racism. We have warped back in time to The Jim Crow era at the hands of the 100% KKK Republican Party.
Everyone has to call out this crap whenever they see it, and that includes every one of you White people that choose to follow this account.
Enough.
Doofus Vance, who like Hegseth wants Armageddon but because he believes to save civilization we have to destroy civilization, says:
WEVE TOOlS IN OUR TOOLKIT WE HAVENT USED

We worry about IRAN having nuclear weapons? Not Israel? Not USA??
oh thank you, if you wouldn't mind
Yes, I'm an economist. And yes, I'll talk about oil and gas prices. But still, I wonder whether (and why) we're avoiding talking about the bigger costs of war.
Hang in there

But “it’s inevitable” — it’s “the future.”
Does it work properly? No.
Are the people making it acting in good faith? No.
Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No.
Does it make people's lives better? No.
Will it make people's lives better? No.
Is it profitable? No.
Is it popular? No.
Is it harmless? No.

It's 2026 and I'm still having to tell people that prison rape jokes are bad. They're homophobic, misogynistic, and they empower the carceral state.
At least with the jokes you could give the benefit of the doubt due to ignorance. There are a disturbing number of people who very sincerely believe that being sexually assaulted while incarcerated is a just part of the penal system.

Welcome to Australia, where our PM supports Israel and US 100% and ignores the plight of Palestinians, Lebanese and Iranian children killed in an illegal war.
He is also ignoring the majority of Australians who don't support the genocidal actions committed by Netanyahu or the Iran War.

Mid April is when the oil crunch occurs.
The war will be known historically as about bombing Iran to open Hormuz which was open before the US started bombing Iran
Our security partner is sabotaging our Australian economy & @albomp.bsky.social will rue that first day he approved of DT's war on Iran.
I've looked up to Chelsea Wilson since that time she played Mingus on her radio show -- and mostly for her great choices while programming festivals and jazz venues. Big Jazz Day Out is her latest great contribution to the #MelbourneJazz Community -- and it's happening tomorrow. #jazzsky #jazzmusic
I’m 50 and I only watched it last year. It’s absolutely brilliant
If I can’t unionize Claude then it’s not conscious, next question
I honestly didn’t know Habermas was still alive. Obv now he’s not. Sad face, I guess - but I’m still mostly in the “he was still alive?” stage of grief.

Can you remember the last thing that shocked you? You know, the one that broke you?
Have to admire their dark humour in such a situation
