NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

Fantastic and timeless essay from @jkuznicki.bsky.social at @liberalcurrents.com today. Nationalism (especially ethno-) is a fraud, because in reality history is a sequence of bloody conquests, and we are all the descendants of both victors *and* vanquished.
They Were All Our Ancestors
Nationalism chooses sides in the most awful family drama of all time. It sides with the evildoers, and never with their victims, and teaches you to do the same.

it is wild to me that post war financiers and early venture capitalist spent *decades* arguing that what they did wasnt gambling, that it required specific skills, and that they acted in the interests of the national project, and today people are just like WHAT IF WE MADE EVERYTHING GAMBLING
