Niels Bohr was born on this day in 1885.

“When it comes to atoms, language can be used only as in poetry. The poet, too, is not nearly so concerned with describing facts as with creating images.”

@boardgamehottakes.bsky.social Very much enjoying March of the Ants. My favorite from 2025 so far (and better than anything from 2024 👀)

Here’s a thought for the press: if the only statement from ICE that you were able to fact check turned out to be a lie, maybe don’t lead with their version of a story requiring them to “defensively” fire bullets at someone.

Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security, said the shooting erupted after patrolling agents were
"rammed by 10 cars" and "boxed in." Agents then fired "defensive shots" when they discovered the woman "was armed with a semi-automatic weapon" while driving one of the cars.
The time and location of the shooting weren't immediately known. No law enforcement officials were hurt.

McLaughlin said the woman who was shot
"drove herself to the hospital to get care for wounds." But Larry Merritt, a Chicago Fire Department spokesman, said she was found near 39th Street and Pershing Road and taken in fair condition to Mount Sinai Hospital.
The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ have not independently verified ICE's account of the traffic stop.

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and more deadly than left-wing violence − what the data shows

Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the US. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

Fun fact: after I wrote & recorded this but during editing I saw the clip of Megyn Kelly publicly confirming what I said about Kirk backing off of his support for Israel bc it was unpopular with his audience. They’re really just saying the quiet parts out loud.

Wild chimpanzees drink the equivalent of a bottle of lager's alcohol a day from eating ripened fruit.

Researchers say this is evidence humans got our taste for alcohol from common primate ancestors who relied on fermented fruit for food.

The sheer extent of the accusations against RFKJr are staggering- pre- approving ACIP decisions without knowing results/seeing evidence, allowing unvetted (and contain falsehoods) presentations at ACIP masquerading as fact, disparaging CDC scientists… 🧪🧵
