I need an Artie in my life to lurk about and tell people to F off into the sun for me. Especially certain voters. #releasethefiles
Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...
🌫️ Air pollution and mental health A new study found that PM2.5 and NO2 are causally linked to psychiatric disorders, partly through brain changes. 🔗 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #SciComm #MentalHealth #AirQuality 🧪
The CDC is gutting a program that monitors foodborne illnesses. The program will now only track infections caused by two pathogens, rather than eight. Hello? How does this “Make America Healthy Again”?
Goods prices are rebounding amidst the trade war—excluding food and energy, prices are up at the fastest pace since the COVID inflation surge, and increases in durable goods prices are currently larger than at any point from 1995-2020.
Twenty Years After Hurricane Katrina, Many of Us Are Still Missing All That We Lost—and Grappling With One of the Country’s Worst Disasters
I honestly believe this has been true for about 6 years

Military Religious Freedom Foundation asked me to make this video to raise awareness of their work and need for support. MRFF has helped almost 100,000 people serving in our nation’s military to stand up against Christian Nationalism in all branches. mrff.org/donate youtu.be/RY_oKI11iGw

Florida banned The Diary of Anne Frank. Whoever signed off on that should have to eat every page of that book — one by one — and choke on the lesson they’re trying to erase. 📚🔥 #BannedBooks #AnneFrank

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” johncassidysays.bsky.social writes.
My lab's been attacked by an anti-wind group and their lawyers. They threatened the science funding of my whole university, to shut me and my undergraduate research assistants up. NYT just covered it. 1/n www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

Apparently it happened at an extended family BBQ today that we missed. I guess a maga family member got a lesson in resistance.
20 years ago, Katrina hit New Orleans hard; today, the Crescent City is rising with faith and hope
Horrifying to relive Katrina in this excellent NPR piece, and the implications of today’s GEMA cuts. Hear it all from Mark Schliefstein and Ivor van Heerden and others. www.npr.org/2025/08/24/n...
issues that are nonpolarized can become suddenly polarized when paired with solutions that are consistent with an ideological position because of solution aversion (denying problems when solutions conflict with political beliefs) & solution attraction www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Fascinated by the idea of evaluating city streets not just based on car crash hot spots, but also how bored, joyful, stimulated, depressed, valued, or safe people *feel* when they move through them, and how radically that might change them way transportation planners operate.
My 80-year-old aunt told me she "got tired of streaming" and is borrowing DVDs from her library again. So I checked it out and they have an amazing selection. Blu-rays too, from Criterion, Kino Lorber and other boutique labels. #PhysicalMedia #FilmSky

This sort of frightens me? Is there something we should be made aware of?
I made these maps by doing spatial queries on soil survey data, getting the soil survey polygons, then the component soil series in each mapunit and their typical colors by horizon. I aggregated the colors at each depth across the components of each map unit and added those colors to a shapefile
I think this to myself a lot actually.

Americans are paying over 20% more for coffee under Trump than under Biden. When Trump brags about tariff collections, he's bragging about his tax on your cup. Good morning!
The Trump administration’s USDA has decided to nix funding for a popular renewable energy program that helps farmers power their operations, save money and lower greenhouse gas emissions.

WOW. @marcelias.bsky.social goes off on the failures of legacy media: "We have an absolute collapse and failure by the institutions that have promised us that democracy would not die in darkness, that in fact, they stand for the proposition that democracy will die in plain sight of daylight."
This meme. All day.
I barely watch the NFL for completely different reasons (oh lets say the forced patriotism every Sunday for one and um throw on top a healthy dollop of concussion denialism). But, God do I detest the NFL cult choades who freak out about meaningless stuff like this. Kaepernick anyone?
This is gold. I can hear his voice as he says this.
Nothing warms my heart more; than the heat from one of their stupid meltdowns.
Every year the NFL season long pep rally gets a little more gross.
We're dialing in the HAARP laser that we borrowed from the Jewish weather service. We call this the "Mar-a-Lago Bounce".

🌀 Hurricane #Erin is still expected to turn northward, avoiding landfall. As Erin expands in size however, winds will extend hundreds of miles from its center. Dangerous surf and rip currents will likely affect the Bahamas, the U.S. East Coast, Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada.

40 yrs ago today, Bryan Adams gets his first #1 album with “Reckless” — featuring “Summer of ‘69”. Originally titled “The Best Days Of My Life”, it helped Adams in his quest for a song about summer. “While we were doing the demo, I just threw in the lyric ‘It was the summer of ’69’ and it stuck.”
STFU, RFK Jr, you ridiculous idiot. You don't care about the wellbeing of patients. You care about politics. You are actively undermining doctors' ability to protect their patients from measles and COVID. Your party forces women who have miscarried to bleed out in parking lots over your politics.
