An editorial cartoon of MLK standing in front of chaos and wreckage with the words, "I plan to lead another non-violent march tomorrow"
Posting this 1967 Birmingham News editorial cartoon for all the people who don't realize that this is how MLK was viewed by a big chunk of white America.
That is 54, 5-year NIH biomedical research grants.
Or 270 years worth of biomedical research.

BREAKING: Trump is having a full-blown meltdown on Truth Social—this time over a painting of him displayed at the Colorado State Capitol. He’s lashing out at the governor, claiming the portrait is “distorted.”
It’d be a real shame if everyone saw it… and shared it.
This poorly argued piece was written by a senior fellow at an oil-industry-funded "think tank," if you want to know how things are going at the Washington Post.
Exactly.
One of these things is not like the other.
I've read it as "new battery electric battery slug" and I'm better off for it. Who'd have thought that the new mail trucks will be influencers...
This is a the cult of personality, like Stalin's, but with total media coverage, unlike Stalin's.
As a Hungarian, I'm 100% in agreement.
He’s the president’s biggest donor, he gets a west wing office, he gets to oust the administrator of the federal aviation administration, he gets to send emails to the entire federal workforce trying to scam them out of their pensions, and he’s a nazi.

This is a hostile takeover of a formerly democratic government by the oligarchs.
The connection between Trump and Silicon Valley is not just social media and financial support, not just DOGE. They are holding key positions in govt that will allow them to reshape personnel and procurement policies. Who will this benefit?

A screenshot of the Die Zeit website. It is a photo of Musk in black and white doing the Hitler “seig heil” salute - but the actual salute is blocked out by blue material on the left hand side of the photo. The headline is underneath.
A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it.
Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was.
Headline: “A Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute is a Hitler Salute”
Well, well, well...🙄
Most of those predate Flutter?
Musk and Trump every time they go back on a promise to the American people

Graph with blue and red bars which represent temperature departures from the reference time period (1850-1900). the first year is 1850 and the last year (which coincides with the highest value) is 2024.

2024 is almost history and the global temperature forecast for the remaining few days is rock solid now. Time to wrap up.
In most datasets, 2024 will be 0.1 degree C warmer than 2023. Also, 2024 will be the 1st individual year above the 1.5 degree Paris warming threshold in all datasets.

I love Orwell's 1984 and Animal Farm, and this was an unexpected gem when I read his works.
