The permanent Daylight Saving Time trial in 1974 was a deadly mistake. This cartoon, published on October 25, 1974, expresses relief seeing morning sunlight before 8am when the country went back to Standard Time.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Important and informative new Unexplainable podcast episode (nhassenfeld.bsky.social) entitled “Is science in danger?” It lays out the threats but also provides helpful counterarguments to the nonsense out there. Everyone concerned for the state of US science should listen and share.
