Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Loving the burst of pseudoscorpion posts! Gave this grabby guy some bristles and a bit more attitude 😈 (remember in reality they’re like sesame seeds with attitude) #arachtober

1,000+ people currently imprisoned in Louisiana were convicted by split juries — ruled unconstitutional in 2020.

Yet the state Supreme Court has declined to grant new trials, and lawmakers have repeatedly denied a reexamination of their cases.

Six of the nine Nobel Prize winners this year work in the U.S.
Three of the six were born outside the U.S., which is the pattern most years. No country has benefited more from welcoming immigrants from around the world.

This is how it's done: put the truth right there in the headline and sub headline.

We have an updated version of this preprint, available at:

Fingers crossed the formal, final version will be out soon.

We think this highlights a major issue in how we study behavior (& more).

“Among college graduates ages 22 to 27, computer science and computer engineering majors are facing some of the highest unemployment rates, 6.1 percent and 7.5 percent respectively, according to a report… That is more than double the unemployment rate among recent biology and art history graduates”

OMB has deleted the reference on its website to the 2019 law that mandates back pay to all federal workers who were not paid during a government shutdown. This is like when babies play hide and seek but only cover their eyes because if they can’t see you, you can’t see them.

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Coverage like this is how you Individualize the world into doing nothing about climate change.

The issue here is systemic, manufacturers need to change the inhalers. That will require laws.

The solution is SYSTEMIC.

Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.

Stripping 600k TPS workers from our economy is mass layoffs on a historic scale. It destabilizes industries, erodes workplace safety and rips apart families. We stand united with our immigrant brothers and sisters.

Amidst the other chaos of the government shutdown you might have missed the fact that the House’s version of the appropriations bill bans federal funding for all gender-affirming care, for any patient of any age. transitics.substack.com/p/the-new-ho...
