@npcox I’m in STEM and like most faculty members would have way less papers that they’re coauthors on if it weren’t for their students.

anyway nice way to ignore everything else I said lol.

[JET @jetlining]

@Afinetheorem who is TAing your classes, running your experiments, and writing papers that you author on? because it sure as hell isn’t a faculty member.

[JET @jetlining]

@avzaagzonunaada @dharshtya I’m in climatology and atmospheric science and that’s all computational. I was told the literal opposite lol I think it’s mostly like this for the physical sciences.

@_ClimateCraze @doofydafus @keith50407046 begging you to get a job

[JET @jetlining]

@KamitronPTW am I tweaking or is everyone being super fucking dramatic about this like if your phone is on zero brightness that literally doesn’t bother anyone. I think film twt is full of freaks sorry.

Kawhi Leonard is back. #WeTheNorth

[Serge Ibaka @sergeibaka]

what it do, baby

[JET @jetlining]

@MARSHMADN3SS I low key would’ve only gaf if kawhi got suspended or his contract got voided and neither of those happened so we ball. feel bad for the clippers though tbh my fave has become #problematic

[JET @jetlining]

@PSUFBLPGAv67e @conorjrogers PhD student in atmospheric science here and buddy you could not be more incorrect. we know a lot about the climates of the past, and while there are a lot of uncertainties about the climate system in general, man-made climate change is undoubtedly a fact.

@Ericandre3005 HAPPY BDAY TWIN!!!!!!!!!!

@Liberal_Larry_A @kdonnelly13 @CelineD19711229 @volcaholic1 “climate scientists are deathly afraid of meteorological history” actually most of us literally have meteorology degrees lol

[JET @jetlining]

@robinmonotti buddy you’re a humanities person let’s stick to that instead of larping as a scientist

just so we're clear, going at the anti-trans-women-in-sports folks with arguments like "there are no trans women in the wnba anyway so what does it matter" or worse, "there are plenty of trans women in sports who don't succeed at all" is not a productive means of doing so.

if a trans woman played in the wnba, the argument does not change. if a trans woman was the best player in the world, the argument does not change.

scientifically, a medically transitioned trans woman has no inherent physical advantages that are not also available to a cis woman. all elite athletes have physical advantages compared to the average person. trans and cis women are no different in this regard. thus, a trans woman's success in sport would not differ from a cis woman's, and would not "prove" this crowd right (but the fact that they'll act like it does, is exactly why you should not be using this argument to begin with).

trans women belong in women's sports and deserve the opportunity to succeed at the highest level. there is no debate.

love to all my trans sisters. keep your head up and keep going. 🏳️‍⚧️🫶

@RonDeSantis bro doesn’t know abt the party switch 😭😭😭😭

[JET @jetlining]

@CasualBullsFan also global impacts. good for some, really bad for others. really depends on who you ask and what industry they work in.

[JET @jetlining]

@CasualBullsFan basically this on steroids. crazy flooding events, especially in the southeast. crazy storms. mild winter likely up north. definitely mild winter in the northwest, probably causing the continuation of drought conditions. global mean temp will skyrocket.

[JET @jetlining]

because it’s fucking awesome

[Milo Smith @mil000]

why do lower income people love to record airplane landings so much?

[JET @jetlining]

@Bud_Williams81 @dorfman_p yeah we are not reading all that. natural variability alone cannot explain the current rate of warming. this has been proven for decades.

[Mike Drucker @MikeDrucker]

woman who started conversation about hating trans people now wishes we weren't talking about her hating trans people
