The starving crocodiles that have been released onto this ship full of children need better training, proper monitoring, and also must cease any unnecessary eating NOW. No children on the lido deck or 1st class should EVER be consumed. That's why I'm voting an additional $44B for crocodiles.

@neildegrassetyson.com enjoying the “emergence” podcast. Your comment about Los Alamos being in the middle of nowhere reminded me that Fermi built the first nuclear pile under the stands at the University of Chicago football stadium.

@profmmurray.bsky.social enjoyed the episode this week. Quick science note: mRNA vaccines, while safe and effective, are not part of the traditional annual flu vaccine process.

One reason Trump says & does whatever he wants is because every societal institution, including the media, has completely normalized & internalized the idea that the laws, the Constitution, & the international treaties we have signed & ratified simply don’t apply to this one guy. It’s maddening.

Principles will inform the tactics

Every human being is a unique and irreplaceable work of art.
Nobody gets left behind.
We know that things can be better, and should be.
We expect that they will improve, and we will demand it.
If our demands are not met, we will issue consequence.
We won't give up

We have entered the "The police is saying that if the police is at your door you are not safe call the police immediately" stage of making America great again

@preetbharara.bsky.social @kateshaw.bsky.social excellent discussion on Stay Tuned, particularly impressed with your exegesis on the value of Trump’s statements regarding Musk’s status without once using the word “hearsay”. Would not have thought it possible

Hey, @bcdreyer.social: nerve-racking or nerve-wracking?

Trump isn't into Tariffs because he thinks they accomplish some economic goal. He likes Tariffs because they're what his autocrat idols use to shake industry down for bribes. Everyone has to come and bend the knee to negotiate an Exemption in exchange for the boss getting a cut. That's all this is.

This racist complaint — that immigrants will change the character of Pennsylvania — is older than the U.S. itself.

In 1755, Ben Franklin wrote this bit, worried that the character of Pennsylvania would be ruined by the influx of immigrants from … Germany

Letter 4 done. We are 20 pages in and the story is only now about to start. The main character so far is apparently not involved in the story at all. Did we really need all this exposition?#hotfranksummer

I am eager to find out if this background information on the narrator will end up having anything to do with the plot, or if it was just Shelley diddling around while she figured out what the story was really going to be. #hotfranksummer

@seanmcarroll.bsky.social enjoying the latest AMA. Question: superdeterminism is non-falsifiable, ergo not scientific. True?
