If you're not busy building it… it is slowly but surely falling apart. That's called entropy, and it is the way the universe works.

My kid's school asked me to donate supplies.

Paper. Pencils. Hand sanitizer. Tissues.

I pay property taxes.
My state has a $4 billion surplus.
The federal education budget is $238 billion.

And the teacher is buying pencils out of her own paycheck.

And I'm sending in Ziploc bags.

We fund stadiums for billionaires with public money.

We fund schools with bake sales.

And then blame teachers when test scores drop.

We're in a weird era where a guy gets publicly shamed for running his sprinklers on a Tuesday, while a data center the size of a Costco quietly drains a reservoir so AI can generate a picture of your cat as a medieval knight. And the data center gets a tax incentive for it.

America is eating its young. We’re a nation built on the greatness of our research universities, it’s what gave us the Manhattan Project, victory in the Cold War, over HIV/AIDS. Our future depends on a robust NextGen of scientists. But we traded it for wellness influencers, climate denialists, and phony MAHA ideologies that more resemble a twisted Lysenko version of Stalinist Russia in the 1930s and 40s

Four days in the wilderness without screens improved creative problem-solving by 50%.

The modern brain is not underloaded. It is interrupted.

Hey guys...something cool is happening.
The Andes virus discussion is scientific consensus evolving in public.

A statement from the International Hantavirus Society and dozens of hantavirus researchers is a great example of science communication in motion. 🧵

Can we get AI to actually pick plastic out of the ocean, or do all the robots have to become screenwriters?

A solar farm in Minnesota planted native wildflowers between its panel rows. Five years later, total insect populations tripled. Native bees increased 20-fold.

Not only did insect populations boom, soybean fields next to the solar arrays got twice as many bee visits as fields farther away.

Two of the things we usually think of as competing turned out to reinforce each other.

One study, published in Environmental Research Letters in late 2024, tracked two utility-scale solar sites built on retired farmland in southern Minnesota, where the developer seeded native prairie species between rows of panels in 2018.

By 2022, the sites looked less like industrial energy infrastructure and more like remnant prairie.

Goldenrod soldier beetles colonized the goldenrod stands. Bumblebees nested in the soil. Monarch butterflies passed through during migration. The wildflower diversity grew sevenfold; insect diversity grew eightfold.

This matters because, like it or not, utility-scale solar is going to take up real space. The US is on track to cover roughly six million acres in panels by 2050.

The default approach is turfgrass, gravel, or herbicide-maintained bare ground, which is ecologically dead.

The Argonne study shows the alternative isn't more expensive or harder to maintain. It's just a different seed mix.

@PCBearcat This is absolutely what is happening. It’s…. so hard to watch over and over

It is a crime against the working class that this isn’t true in every state.

🚨 New Mexico has become the first state to make public universities tuition free for all.

Nearly every state Republican tried to block this change.

I figured out why the Artemis stream felt so different

It's because for the first time in decades, we collectively witnessed something that was untouched by politics, celebrities and influencers

[Chris Alvino @ChrisAlvino]

Not a SINGLE SpaceX mission has ever garnered the kind of press & goodwill of Artemis II. And that's for good reason: humanity can never truly rally behind a corporation.

NASA is for the people and by the people. SpaceX is for the shareholders.
