You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

@digikey.bsky.social shipped me two power supplies instead of one. I called them and returned the second power supply and they have *invoiced* me for the second part even though they have received it.
This is punishing a customer for reporting their error.
Really bad job.

Getting people to make up fake prizes to give himself is gross, but basically extorting the military to prop up his wife's failure of a film has serious implications.

Reports are surfacing from US military bases around the world that soldiers are being pressured by their superior officers to go see the Melania movie.
If you had hoped that our professional military would refuse to violate the law and their oath to back Trump, it might be time to rethink that.

Bezos, Musk and Thiel should read up on the history of Michael Khodorkovsky.
Once he barely crossed Putin, his wealth largely evaporated (#16 on Forbes list back when $15G was a lot) to "only" about $200M and he spent nearly a decade in the gulag.
They are playing with fire.

I’m a scientist who studies how climate change impacts our lives and the places we love.
Most of us are worried, but many feel stuck on what to do. If that's the way you feel, check out this list below!
We can’t fix it alone, but I know we can together. 💚
