An absolutely fantastic read.
NEW: This is the inside story of how astronomers tracked down 2024 YR4, the most dangerous asteroid ever found, in the hope of working out whether it would strike Earth in a few short years. It’s Don’t Look Up, but everyone lives.

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

This is a new, open dataset on 40 years of Federalist Society events, including titles, dates, locations, sponsors, topics, and speakers.

There couldn't be a better moment for scholars to pick this up and run with it.
🚨My nerds: new preprint + data available to you starting now. Plz enjoy what I believe to be (other than tax stuff) the first large scale empirical dataset about the Federalist Society. Have fun! 😘 #LawSky #PoliSky #AcademicSky osf.io/preprints/so...

Worried about losing access to US federal data that may go off-line, or already is? You’re not alone—but duplication isn’t the answer.

Many ongoing efforts have already archived key datasets and many more are ongoing. Check out these existing resources and, if you can, support their work. 🧵

This is really powerful! It's like FRED but built up in many cases from on-demand computation from micro-data.

For instance, making this before today would require accessing the CPS microdata and coding up the summary yourself.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Personally I'm a big fan of @hels.bsky.social's Roberto, a flexible template for a sort of Italian wedding soup

Also, arroz caldoso is fantastic for those who prefer a thicker stew and have some high quality rice sitting around

This was a nice little read. I can't say I really thought of mars being salty before.
It's time again for a Friday Science thread, based on a weekly discussion in our office involving most of our scientists & engineers. It's one of the highlights of any week.

This week we talked a lot about funding and stuff, but there were a few science gems worth sharing. 1/6
