lol lol lol Vance picked an academic fight with the crew that founded Europe’s first university a thousand years ago.
They responded *with citations & footnotes* and - in true academic style - even flexed Dr. Leo’s title and endowed chair (Supreme Pastor of the Universal Church & Vicar of Christ).
Pope-splaining to a guy named Leo XIV is next level dumbass.
It only worked 35 hours a week anyways.
Right. There might be herb diversity at ducke in flavia costa’s papers.
Left - the site of the latrine 30 m up a strangler fig. Right - droppings of various species sharing the latrine.
That spot — where the union of the figs main branches formed a flat platform — was a multi-species latrine. Never before has such a latrine been reported. This discovery changes our understanding of life in the canopy. planetficus.substack.com/p/seventeen-...
The terms of our total and complete victory included letting Maxi Rodriguez score this spectacular goal in overtime despite Mexico's overwhelming defensive superiority and allowing Argentina move forward to play Germany in the quarterfinals. An epic win for El Tri. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiY9...

One of the best days of my life was when Mexico won total and complete victory over Argentina in the 2006 World Cup.
President Thanos is bad enough but then you realize Miller and Vance are arguing about who gets to be Ebony Maw and now my stomachache is back.

This is terrible. Brian's work has really shaped how I approach teaching genetics.
(I was curious and it took me about two seconds to learn that the author is, to put it mildly, incorrectly stating the Pontiff’s position to set up a straw man).
You may think you’re brimming with self-confidence, but are you “the-Pope-is-wrong-about-the-catholic-church’s-position-on-war” confident?

NSF POs are telling re-upping LTERs to apply to “the regular pool”.
Thanks Mike. I’m going to briefly put my phone down so I can go scream into the void…

Does anyone know if this is “archived” as in “being revised” or “archived” as in “there is no more LTER”?
Because #2 would be (more) awful news.

“Please please please don’t let the university in their photo promoting the article be of…aaaand of course it is.”
Gotta believe this was a targeted attack on science within land management agencies. First USFS and now NPS.

Was only 1/2 way through. the segment on anti-trans legislation. God help us.
This was a *really* interesting / scary episode. Come for “Hegseth thinks war and violence are actually super-christian”, stay for the segment on why Peter Thiel thinks AI is the only thing keeping Satan at bay.
Thanks, I was looking at this from p 31 and now see it is Research Infrastructure (?)
Proposed cuts to BIO are higher, closer to 72%
Yikes, worse still…its the NSF request. #science
bsky.app/profile/lkfa...
If I read this correctly, the proposed cuts are 50% for GEO, 65% for BIO, and 80% ENG?
(To 2x click link in post, then click link for pdf of budget request).
Although there is no narrative, the document proposes a $4.0 billion budget for the National Science Foundation (NSF), a 55% cut from the fiscal year 2026 enacted level.
It proposes a budget of $18.8 billion for NASA, a 23% cut from the fiscal year 2026 enacted level.

The President's fiscal year 2027 Budget was released today.
Important---Important---Important
The President's Budget is always fundamentally a political document that Congress may or may not (usually not) take very seriously.
