It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

i will say again that given the trajectory of the white house so far, strident opposition a la 2017 would have absolutely been the most prudent and effective decision and the absence of that opposition in the first two months made things demonstrably worse.

This is K2-18b.
It’s a planet outside of our solar system, about 2 1/2 times the size of earth, orbiting a small red dwarf star.
The James Webb space telescope spent time studying this planet via spectroscopy and determined it has gases in its atmosphere that are only created through biology!

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen went to El Salvador to lobby for the release of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, whose deportation has gripped the U.S. He isn't the only lawmaker with such a trip in mind.

This week, RFK Jr. vowed to look at “environmental factors” as a possible cause for autism.
While he didn’t explicitly discuss vaccines, his remarks made clear, once again, that Kennedy will likely use the federal government to prop up the long-debunked claim that vaccines cause autism.

RFK Jr. Is using a new study on autism rates to push his anti-vaccine agenda
While researchers try to determine why autism rates seem to be rising, Kennedy made it clear he’ll try to put his thumb on the scale.

Your aperiodic reminder that Mercury has a weirdly HUGE core for reasons we do not yet understand.
It's less a planet and more a molten ball bearing wrapped in a thin blanket of rock.

The reason our Target boycott has been so effective is because of the focus on a single company and organizing around it.
Not a temporary boycott with an end date or a rolling boycott, not multiple corporations at a time, a focused, strategic boycott.
Stay tuned for more.

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture.
That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.
