Dr. Oransky warned of consequences for self-governance failure: "If you don't self-police, if you don't correct the record, if you don't sanction people who commit fraud, [...] someone else will come in and do that. And it very well could be a government that you don't like."

Is Science Retracting Enough Papers?

As paper mills and fraud proliferate, experts warn the retraction rate should reach 2% of published literature—ten times current levels.

Who wrote this shit? You can't place anybody on anything but furlough. You can't be on any type of leave AT ALL when there's a lapse in appropriations. If you are on leave when the lapse hits, the leave is changed to furlough. I'd love to see how Vought pulled this bullshit out of his ass.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I’ve lived in Hermosa in Chicago nearly my entire life. It’s an 80+% Latino community. There are no words for what we’re experiencing right now. I can’t stress this enough—

My home, my people are being psychologically terrorized
People are going missing
People are terrified

Don’t forget about us.

I have a completed mystery w/an ace/aro protagonist w/mirror-touch synesthesia wading through threats of a Christofascist-ruled Texas town to save her friend & a missing teen subjected to "conversion therapy" in which the Christofascists (most of 'em) get a comeuppance&it feels SO FUCKING RELEVANT

Vivek was apparently shocked to learn that the kids in Charlie Kirk's TPUSA groups are Christian Nationalists who will never accept him. They want the entire country to be white Christians, and the very idea that he could hold a position of power offends them.

It is not too late for you to start wearing a mask in public.

It is not too late for you to start advocating clean air.

It is not too late for you to learn how to build your own air filters or to tap in with folks already doing so.

I am watching a horror movie called harbinger down where a ship finds a frozen Soviet spaceship that may have returned from the moon. The astronauts frozen body is full of tardigrades so now I think they’re going to have killer mutant tardigrades be the monster in this horror movie

I get a great deal of mental entertainment by imagining all kinds of highly unlikely modes of death for various people in the administration. The less likely to actually happen the better. that way if they do actually die I don’t have to feel guilty about thinking that way.
