Lemme help you make sense of this talk that the President may appoint a "shadow" Fed Chair, and work through what it'll mean for your economic life.

Chris Martz Climate change is driving more extreme rainfall events across most of the U.S., making dangerous flooding more likely. A warmer atmosphere can hold more moisture, or water vapor, leading to heavier downpours. In Texas, the heaviest rainstorms now drop about 20% more rain than

It's that accounts like this 👇 think that the bullshitting crap uttered by Farage is telling it like it is, when in fact it is nothing more than bullshitting crap for gullible morons, racists, bigots and xenophobes

The Grok fiasco underlines one of the biggest threats from AI: technocrats using it for social engineering purposes. Sure, this time it was obvious, but don’t think there aren’t ten thousand other ways it’s more subtly biasing society towards the interests of malevolent power

To all brain-dead climate deniers on X saying that losing Pyrenean glaciers is not a big deal 🤡 You should know that they survived both the Medieval and Roman optima that you cheri(pick)sh so much, but which were nowhere near as hot as the 2020s! 🔥 tc.copernicus.org/articles/15/11…

Six new tariff letters just dropped. Philippines—20% Brunei—25% Moldova—25% Algeria—30% Iraq—30% Libya—30% And it remains weird. They're basically retreading the Liberation Day tariffs, but adding or subtracting a percentage point or two in a seemingly random way.

Sadly we are breaking a 25 yr U.S. measles cases record due to a 4 state epidemic that began in West Texas, with >750 cases in TX alone. Here is a PLOS Medicine paper I wrote in 2016 almost a decade ago more/less predicting where the epidemic would begin journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/a…

If your self-identity is closely wrapped up with particular beliefs that you hold, then those beliefs can pull your strings like a puppeteer. Ideological possession extends beyond religious zealotry to include marriage to all kinds of beliefs, including pseudoscientific ones.

Trump plans to slash the 2026 budgets of NASA and NOAA. NOAA will lose 35% of its funding and 1000s of experts, gutting research that would have saved lives by increasing early warming times. NASA will lose 5000 staff and 25% of its funding too! #TrumpsAntiScienceBudget

WOW. 68% of Mexicans and 59% of Canadians now see the U.S. as their biggest threat. Trump’s legacy: turning trusted allies into hostile neighbors.

What the actual fuck! A reporter asks a clueless Trump about Russia's use of illegal chemical weapons against Ukraine and Trump asks incompetent Pete Hegseth, who has to defer to John Ratcliffe. Our country's being run by absolute fucking imbeciles! 😳👇

russia is hitting Kyiv with missiles & drones again because they are cowards. Cowards who think bombing civilians will lead to Ukraine giving up. It won’t work - It’s an act of desperation and it’s honestly pathetic.
