Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

The destruction of US science will be felt worldwide for decades. Take it from @msier.bsky.social, who was the lead program director for the Biological Oceanography program at the US National Science Foundation.
I don’t think people understand how wrecked it is or how hard it will be to rebuild.

“Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

Our university pays for Google's Gemini AI. I wanted to see if my students could use it to get a good summary of a paper we are reading in class. It gave me a totally incorrect summary twice, despite me giving it the exact paper title, journal and first author. Then I asked it why:

Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I didn't think I would get this KOM back because my power is a little lower than when I first got it, but I translated some of the TT position tips I've learned over the last year onto my gravel bike, and ended up faster on this ~20 min climb with lower power.

Jessica Tarlov just detonated the narrative:
“The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court — not a drone.”
Seven strikes. Thirty-two dead. Zero charges. This

First time making papadzules, which are sort of like enchiladas from the Yucatan. Filled with fragmented hard boiled eggs and topped with two very different sauces. The orange one is more tomato/habanero-based, and the green one has mostly roasted pepitas, tomatillos and epazote.
