I want to create an incubator that funds atproto/bluesky experimental projects to the tune of $5k-$10k dev grants.
I am sorely tempted to call it “Chemtrails”, because it seeds the ATmosphere
Hit me with your best ideas!

So, I’m building this thing to reinvent and reconceptualize what “science education” means….
The Austin STEM Center exists to be the place for kids who learn by doing, who think differently, and who just need someone to say “yeah, let’s build that.”

I’ll be in Brussels next week to represent both @eurosky.social and @flashes.blue at the EU Tech Stars Summit in the EU parliament @europarl.europa.eu.
Super proud I’m given the chance to tell decision makers about the alternatives that are already out there - time is ripe for change.

I’ve never heard of a “law enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

They took a holstered gun out of a mans holster. Shot him 10 times and killed him. Then posted on social media that he was looking to inflict maximum damage. With a holstered pistol.

I was one of Alex's nursing faculty at MCTC. This is simply devastating. He was a good student and I knew he'd be a good nurse. Im so sorry for you and his VA family. May his memory be a blessing and an example of what a nurse is.

Only if you maintain it!
Otherwise, it’s just a data transform.
Data, of course, is the real liability.

Yesterday, I drove refugees that had been shipped off to Texas all the way back home to St. Paul
Seeing them reunite with their families reminded me this is their home.
So keep sending them to Texas. I’ll keep driving ‘em back and introducing them to Bucc-ee’s and KC barbecue along the way.

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.
