Fundamentally the #Mars announcement NASA is making today boils down to: there could have been some chemical reactions in these ancient rocks that could have been mediated by living organisms. The word "could" is doing a LOT of heavy lifting there. 🧪

The world was not made for us. That should be obvious - God or no God

Are Catholic Trump supporters still interested in reading their own texts?

“He is the adversary who sets himself in opposition to, and exalts himself above, every so-called god or object of worship, and who even seats himself in the temple of God…” 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

There hasn't actually been a serious border security problem between Canada and the US.

Wanna know a good way to create one? Create incentives in the tens of billions of dollars for successful smuggling operations.

Lots to talk about here. But the underlying weakness in pure unbiased planetary science advocacy is correct I think. How to keep it independent from the $$$?

The nihilism, revanchism, and above all conspiratorialism of Trumpist 'though', I argue, goes back to the Bush presidency and its, and let me not mince words, complete failure on all three of its signature policy fronts.

If adoptive parents are US citizens then that happens. Adopted child is given same legal status as a biological child.

If your adoptive parents are citizens then you are a citizen regardless of birth parents.

Second Trump administration begins with confusion on acting NASA leadership The second Trump administration started with soaring rhetoric about sending humans to Mars but confusion about who was leading NASA on an acting basis.

Post-inauguration confusion at NASA. The agency updated its website to list Jim Free as acting administrator. But in a statement shortly after the inauguration, the White House announced Janet Petro would serve in that role. From @jfoust.bsky.social .
