Situation at a hospital in Pakdasht, #Iran, after the #IRGCTerrorists conducted chemical warfare on its own population of girls. This is terrorism. This is wrong. #iranrevolution #iranprotests #WomanLifeFreedom #MahsaAmini

BREAKING: #Walgreens will not dispense #abortion pills in several states where they remain legal. The decision follows pressure and threats of legal action from GOP AGs and anti-abortion groups. #WomensReproductiveRights #WomensRights #WomensHealth #health

Good thing there was safflower seed in the feeder today. #cardinal #Birds

It's like someone once said hey, let's put some houses here so people can open their car doors and tumble down the block.

My first research project (https://doi.org/10.1007/s00382-016-3313-2), which also helped to shift my career interests from weather forecasting to climate science, was related to future projections in the timing of spring onset.

And yet it's still pretty striking to see this year's record early start!

Nice letter by @brembs et al

Public transport isn't supposed to make money. It's not even supposed to break even. It's supposed to lose money and to be financed and extended from general taxes because it gives back way more than mere money.

And all the politicians know this because they keep building and maintaining streets for free

Republicans aren’t afraid of “Critical Race Theory,” they are afraid of critical thinking.

They know the biggest threat facing their party is a new multi-racial generation of young people unafraid to speak truth to power.

That’s why they are waging a war on America’s teachers.

I am shocked, shocked again!

The whole national divorce thing is pretty stupid, and while most of the people arguing for it are right-wingers mad that most of us think it’s wrong to hate trans people, the fact that our electoral map is broken up by states, which are then colored either solid red or solid blue, tricks even some reasonable people into thinking it makes sense. When in reality, this is what the country looks like, making clear there are basically no red or blue states.

Honest question: what's the real reason everyone's so concerned about young men on Twitter?

And why does everyone act as though this group, in particular, is fragile?

Obviously, letting Fascists back on Twitter is very bad. And I'm not making light of this.

But this whole "we must protect the lost young men using Twitter" is bizarre seeing how so much violence is due to young men having grievances once they leave their protected environments.

Before Reagan broadcast companies were required to serve the public interest.

In exchange for use of OUR public airwaves they had to provide public information that served democracy, including educational content.

They were only allowed to commercialize (within strict limits) a few hours.

They were being allowed to use OUR airwaves IF it served OUR interests, period.

Cable networks like Fox could be regulated similarly, because the cables are regulated.

Another Norfolk Southern train has derailed, this time in Van Buren Township, #Michigan, just outside of #Detroit.

News reporting that the train was "carrying hazardous materials," however officials claim "no train cars containing hazardous materials were compromised" - you know, beside the whole fucking train derailing.

Diana Butler Bass notes what media reports about the CDC finding that American girls are experiencing higher levels of violence and hopelessness are missing:

They do not make a connection between the fact that girls are not okay and the recent PRRI/Brookings report that two-thirds of white evangelicals are white Christian nationalists.

#whyistayonmastodon sounds like an giant undecipherable mess of sounds.

#WhyIStayOnMastodon reads out "Why I Stay On Mastodon" 😄

(Reason #44 I stay here: my previous requests like this have been generally well-received, proving that most people are awesome.)

You know why people could only see Elon Musks tweets?

It's because President Biden's Super Bowl tweet got more views than Elon Musk's Super Bowl tweet.

You can't make this up 🤣
