steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Shri rapax had intimidating claws, but even more impressive is how this dinosaur from the Gobi Desert was rescued from the black market. I’ll tell you more at NatGeo.
Velociraptor’s new cousin is a raptor unlike any seen before
Shri rapax had bigger claws and potentially a stronger bite than its Hollywood relative. But paleontologists still don’t know the whereabouts of its head, which went missing.

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

"Without Hitler there'd be no Nazi party and the things that followed" forgets that systemic antisemitism brewed in Germany for centuries, eugenics and social Darwinism was normalised in its scientific circles and military colonial conquest was just something Prussia did.

Say hi to Bastetodon! This hyena-size carnivore was munching on early elephants and hippos back when cat and dog ancestors were still tiny. I’ll tell you more in my latest for NatGeo.
Near perfect skull of apex predator reveals its 'meat cleaving bite'
Some were the size of a dog. Others were as large as polar bears. A newly-discovered fossil of the ferocious hyaenodont is helping scientists understand a little bit more about the mysterious creature...

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world.

And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

I'm gonna say the quiet part aloud. Sadly there are many in scientific, academic & healthcare ranks as well as in the leadership of professional societies who support the purge of DEI.
The failure to peak out forcefully and rush to comply by some is unsurprising.

Many of us are really feeling helpless. This feeling is why I started @skypeascientist.bsky.social 8 years ago. We were doing the exact same thing then (currently feels worse?).

I have an action you can take today. Tell an educator about our program. Connect kids with science in spite of all this.
