  1. Yuck, science. Gets in the way of "alternative facts" and other populist hocum.

    It could “eviscerate investments in fundamental research and in the training of the next generation of scientists and engineers for our nation,” Stassun said.


    No shit, Sherlock. After having alienated each and every ally possible, the orange rapist is now going to push the US back into the days before the Age of Enlightenment, where people will have to believe what their king tells them.

    I hope that all those USians who still believe that Agent Orange will be slowed down or even halted in november, realize how much time it will cost to repair all the damage he's done so far.

  2. It looks like Mauna Loa Observatory data is down.

    Is this a technical glitch, or an intentional attack by the science denying disgrace to humanity currently in the White House?

    It looks like no new data since Dec. 31st.

  8. China operated more than two million drones in 2024, according to #TheEconomist, as quoted by Fareed Zakaria.

    Meanwhile Trump severely reduced spending for research, ensuring that the United States will not compete seriously against China for at least the next few years.

    “…people from DOGE or its proxies are scrutinizing applications with absolutely devastating consequences. The move amounts to the US willingly conceding global supremacy to competitors like China in biological, social and physical sciences. It is a mind-boggling own-goal.”

  11. "The United States once stood as the global beacon of scientific excellence. From the Manhattan Project and Apollo missions to mRNA vaccines, American institutions led the charge in understanding and confronting the planet’s most pressing challenges. But today, that leadership is eroding."

    Blame Trump. For example: Trump's "handpicked climate deniers downplay climate risks and are used to justify regulatory rollbacks":

  12. #LawrenceKrauss' "War on #Science" #book is still a joke that ignores the threats from #Republicans

    #RichardDawkins, #JerryCoyne, #JordanPeterson, Lawrence Krauss, and others wrote a book about the "#waronscience"... that completely ignores actual threats like Trump and the #GOP.

    Now that the book is out, let's recap why the #authors are helping #authoritarians rather than using their prominent platforms for good

  17. "A public letter from NASA employees on Monday urges leaders of the space agency not to carry out deep cuts sought by the Trump administration: 'We are compelled to speak up when our leadership prioritizes political momentum over human safety, scientific advancement and efficient use of public resources'.”:

  18. Bill Nye is a treasure. How he manages to avoid exploding in the face of such incredible nonsense is proof of things Science can't explain...

  19. In the For All Mankind timeline they'd be a season about nudging 3IATLAS into a Mars impact and kickstart the Terraforming.

    In ours, Trump could be defunding the Martian satellites that could take a look at the interstellar visitor as it passes, because 'Fuck Science' is what the voters want apparently....

  20. Trump wants the federal organization that "which builds weather and air quality models, studies pollution, drought, and climate change impacts to be eliminated":

  21. "The grant cancellations, Young concludes, "Arise from the NIH’s newly minted war against undefined concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion and gender identity, that has expanded to include vaccine hesitancy, COVID, influencing public opinion and climate change." The "undefined" aspect plays a key part in his reasoning. Referring to DEI, he writes, "No one has ever defined it to this Court—and this Court has asked multiple times." It's not defined in Trump's executive order that launched the "newly minted war," and Young found that administrators within the NIH issued multiple documents that attempted to define it, not all of which were consistent with each other, and in some cases seemed to use circular reasoning.

    He also noted that the officials who sent these memos had a tendency to resign shortly afterward, writing, "it is not lost on the Court that oftentimes people vote with their feet."

  22. Brian Allen: "Condoleezza Rice just went on Fox & Friends and dismantled Trump’s war on universities and scientific research. When even Bush’s Secretary of State is side-eyeing your assault on knowledge and education, you’ve officially crossed into uncharted stupidity. This isn’t left vs. right anymore; it’s reality vs. whatever paranoid fantasy TrumpWorld is cooking up next."

    Trump is ending "decades of innovation, economic growth, and military advances."

  25. "Meteorologists and climate researchers aim to run a livestream for 100 hours in protest of the Trump administration’s cuts to weather and climate research.
