Uh.....what?
It's never a bad time to re-read this.
I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.
It's only a week into March, and we've got years more of this to look forward to.
We're screwed as a country, aren't we.
The White House is in need of fumigation. It's sickening that the GOP can't find the spine to condemn Herr Trump and his Kompromat Komrades.
Just had a conversation today with an otherwise intelligent person who fell into the "politicization of science" trap. I still feel vindicated by my choice to vaccinate and mask. thelogicofscience.com/2025/02/27/m...
Waking up in America every day of 2025 is like...
We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.
We've been down this road before. Didn't end well for those who wished to lord over us.
How many more companies will I have to boycott in 2025? Talk about being on the wrong side of history.
Can't even imagine how the Onion comes up with headlines when reality is so much worse: boingboing.net/2025/02/14/u...
When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.
Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.
Funny how that works, huh?
Donnie's going to sign an EO that forces Taylor Swift to perform for him.
F' Elon and the Felon
Her hand must be cramped from all the pearl clutching.
How is she still a Senator? She's enabling fascism with her occasional stern finger wagging.
They should at least make it a cell tower so that it has some redeeming value.
The Bannon strategy of "flooding the zone with shit" will work if we allow it to. Stay sharp. Demand action from your reps via www.Democracy.io while you still can.
This is true insanity. Destroying science because it goes against their hateful ideology.
Trump isn't "sending his best". It's rapists, murderers and traitors that he's releasing.
Always the ones you suspect the most.
Wow RFK Jr. just perjured himself on live tv
The ADL is low-key defending this Nazi. Shame on them!

And to think, Elon could have been a powerful voice for atheism. Who would have thought that Phony Stark would go full fascist so openly.
You handled it like a pro, Forrest. Nicely done and keep up the great work. You're a necessary voice in a world gone mad.
It wouldn't be a real shame if you were to take 30 seconds to tell CBS58 to restore Meteorologist Sam Kuffel job after he called attention to Elon Musk's Nazi salute. www.cbs58.com/contact/#error
THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.
Still image from (thankfully) the only shoot of my career that also required me to present testimony in court. Ultimately our side won the suit, but it was a lesson in crafting tight and comprehensive contracts.
How much of the brown bean juice gets you through a typical day?
