It is absolutely insane to me that we're having a debate over whether or not the rightwing deploys violent rhetoric within days of a Fox News personality calling for homeless people to be killed by lethal injection. There is no excuse for this obliviousness. It's unacceptable.

Science memes—funny and clever, but are they also #SciComm?
For an assignment, we created a short survey to explore how people interpret science memes. It’s quick, fun, and anonymous! Plus, you get to check out some memes along the way.

Whoa: The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft got a spectacular view of Comet ATLAS (C/2024 G3) as it passed close to the Sun. Look at that enormous, splintered tail!
This comet won't be seen again for another 600,000 years. 🧪🔭

This is a heartbreaking read, and a reminder to all of the horrors so many experienced during those first months
I first wrote this 🧵 in haste & anger over on ‘the other place’ back in 2022.
It was in response to a terrible article that listed 77 things they hated about the covid response that tried to save lives in the pre-vaccination era of the pandemic.

My father is one of the millions who died, alone, frightened, on a hard hospital bed and I have had now ex friends say that he was old, he was going to die soon anyway. I will never forgive them for that
