"All [13 people arrested in Boston on Oct 7] were to be charged with inciting a riot, a felony charge that is also known as 'promotion of anarchy,' with origins in early 20th-century fears of anarchist violence. If convicted, they could face up to 3 years in prison."

No. And yes.

Lots of research on the harmful impacts of light pollution. This would magnify those impacts by a million-fold. And for what? To make very rich tech bros even richer, at the expense of our planet and every living thing on it.

Do we really want 250,000 mirrored satellites in Low Earth Orbit? Hasn't the Starlink megaconstellation already done enough damage?
🧪 @mjibrown.bsky.social

A US startup plans to deliver ‘sunlight on demand’ after dark. Can it work – and would we want it to?

Satellites beaming sunlight down to Earth sound like science fiction – and they have astronomers very worried.

Can we talk about this BS pronunciation of ANTIFASCIST? I know this is a menswear account, but calling Antifacists *an-T-E-fah* is crap. Its a right wing attempt to muddy the waters. It should be called *ant-eye-fash*. That's what it is Antifacism.

The NYT's news pages did a solid job of covering the role of billionaire Marc Rowan in concocting the incredibly dangerous "compact" by which the Trump administration proposes to take over American universities.

But the opinion pages invited Marc Rowan to offer a rather wolflike defense. A brief 🧵—

Joey Fishkin @fishkin.bsky.social · 6d

The Times' coverage of Rowan's role has been remarkable. It is sad to me that after forcing his alma mater, Penn, to oust a really good president for incredibly poor reasons, Rowan's megalomanical next thought was "maybe the federal government should do this everywhere" and they're actually trying.
