Whoever this is, I need to speak to your college professors
This is why I feel 125 sometimes 😅😂
Also pretty grim that oil industry people seem to be privately sending each other memes of nuclear explosions because they know reliance on the product they sell is going to cause a major global catastrophe in the coming weeks / months but don't want to say it in public or in any accountable way
One of the pernicious effects of Trump's personalist narcissism and broader American discourse solipsism is disinterest in domestic long term societies that will suffer the wreckage of war long after the Americans have moved on to their next war
New video: Generative AI & Research Ethics
AI is powerful, but it also raises serious ethical challenges. I explore these issues and why researchers need to think carefully about the tools they use.

I'm forced to the conclusion that a certain type of pro-Israeli Western Christian doesn't actually see the place as real, and certainly doesn't see the Christians of the Middle East whose lives have been made much, much harder by the policies they back.
It's just a sort of apocalyptic theme park.
As millions of Americans were losing their SNAP benefits the Pentagon spent:
🔹️$6.9 million worth of lobster tails🦞
🔹️$15.1 million for ribeye steak 🥩
🔹️$2 million for Alaskan king crab 🦀
🔹️ and even $98,329 on a Steinway & Sons grand piano

The Wall Street Journal & . Follow ... X WSJ 14h • 0 Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., the president's sons, are backing a new drone company that is vying to meet fresh demand from the Pentagon and fill a hole left by the administration's ban on new Chinese drones in the U.S. https://on.wsj.com/4uyhkoO Powerus, a drone roll-up company based in West Palm Beach, Fla., is merging with a publicly traded golf-course holding company backed by the Trumps, Powerus executives said. The reverse merger will result in Powerus, which was formed last year, trading on the Nasdaq stock exchange in the coming months. The deal brings deeper involvement by the Trump family into a multibillion-dollar sector that has new opportunities for growth following changes imposed by the Trump administration. Those include the Pentagon's emphasis on large-scale, rapid adoption of small drones, and a national ban on new models of the Chinese drones that have for more than a decade dominated the consumer and commercial markets.

This is what ecocide looks like.
Graphic which reads 'Price of sunlight +0%, Price of oil +50%'
Reminder: The cost of the sun and wind will never increase because of conflict. While oil prices rise by almost 50% in the U.S. - sunlight remains free and abundant, forever. ☀️
Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.
I wish I could do this with every Iranian dead as well. It’s perverse that we kill so many people whose names we will never know and even never think about.
When you come upon this post in a thread I fear I will keep updating, spare at least a moment for them.
The Department of Justice had been preparing an antitrust case against Ticketmaster for years. However, Trump just fired the head of the antitrust division and let Ticketmaster off the hook entirely.
Every one of these he’s involved himself or his family in over the past year has been a market manipulation, an insider trade, or a pump and dump.
With the drop in overdose deaths, “we're celebrating: a death toll that exceeds total American combat fatalities in Vietnam, every single year,” writes addiction researcher Wayne Kepner. www.statnews.com/2026/03/09/d...
What did they think would happen?
Israel has also used white phosphorous in Gaza.
I used to wonder, then realized it's just theatre of another sort, like scripted gymnastics, with drama, tragedy, comedy, what have you. The Bad Bunny cameo helps illustrate—no real beef, just lots of entertainment and ridiculous (in a good) joy youtu.be/kB9cVLW5C_I

The most impt change at #NIH and to US science this year is bigger than grant cancellations— it’s how the agency is governed.
For 75 years NIH has been largely independent of presidential control. That’s changed this year. New piece from me and @nataliebaviles.bsky.social in @nature.com

Israel and the US appear to want to do to Tehran what they have done to Gaza: reduce a busy and complex society to a toxic wasteland.

Every critical decision which cemented the disease's course through this country and thus the resultant economic damage was all Trump
Not just any white hat. It comes from “The Trump Store." You can find it there for $55 & plenty of other stuff & links to Trump Hotels, Trump Golf, etc. Apparently, to Trump, nothing says great opportunity for pushing merchandise like bringing home fallen soldiers. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Trump's decision to bomb Iran is now the greatest windfall to the Russian war effort on record. If it continues, it might save the Russian war economy.
Yes, I stocked up on grains, oil, and salt, what of it.
