Did u know that when we blocked assholes instead of arguing with them Bluesky was cool and awesome and fewer people saw the assholes’ posts? now u know

you are not going to convince them or make them feel bad and there’s no scoreboard

You’re just smearing shit on the camera lens

What a glorious way to spend a day. Not many things make me happier than having someone enjoy a book I recommend.

There is only one possible ending to this story, and sports aren't the last chapter. I guarantee that if you haven't lost five decades of rights in two weeks, you have no idea what this feels like, so I'm begging you: protect trans kids right now with everything you've got.

Science didn't turn partisan! It's been politicized & partisanized by conservatives whose cruel, theocratic, destructive policies (banning books, forced birth, climate denialism, gender essentialism) are all directly contradicted by scientific evidence.

In light of the news on my first day of sabbatical: gender is a social construct, trans women are women, no amount of complying with authoritarians who pretend they will only strip some people but not you of rights will keep you safe. And in 2025 university administrators should know all of that.

I like 3 best. It’s the most active voice and flows the best for me when reading.

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

"Learn to code" was always bad advice, unless you actually like to code. College students have the best chance of professional success if they major in topics that interest them. Today in @startribune.com. Please tell high school students and parents.

When I was a student: existence of exoplanets was conjecture & I heard jokes that Dan Goldin (then-NASA Admin) wanted NASA to take images of beachfront property on exoplanets. The idea of a *photo* of an exoplanet was *absurd.*

And here we are. No beachfront property yet, but we're making progress.

That’s certainly the way I try to teach it!

I will continue the List as long as I am able, and I will do my best to support chemistry faculty job seekers in this small manner. Thanks for reading.

Well deserved! This was such a fun book!

One attitude driving MAGA policy is the failure to accept the reality of interdependence. Slapping tariffs, shunning NATO, cutting USAID rely on disbelieving that we're connected across nations. Cutting FEMA, Dept of Ed, etc: we're connected across states. SocSec: we're connected across generations.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

Folks, exactly 5 years ago today I made this offer, & I'll do it again.

Many graduate students are in danger of losing their one field season for collecting data- in March 2020 because of the pandemic, now because of Musk-Trump BS. This means that many won't be able to finish graduate school. 🧪🧵

Nothing nefarious, just a domain renewal problem. I guess thanks are in order for pointing it out?

Just wrapped that up last week.

This whole country wants bad things for others more than they want good things for themselves.
