Follow me if you like gymnastics, fish science, and irregularly scheduled shitposts
(Do not follow me if you want tips about fishing because I can’t actually fish to save my life)

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

This one took five years, three editors, four far-flung reporting trips (Kazakhstan, Wisconsin, Tennessee/Alabama, and Italy), and a vicious ant attack to see over the finish line and tell the story of these ancient, weird, beloved and gravely endangered fish.
These ancient fish swam with the dinosaurs. They may not survive us.
For 162 million years, sturgeons have fended off everything they’ve faced. Now scientists are racing to save these living fossils.

Darby makes this point but I just want to reinforce it: These words are entirely legitimate to discuss science, accurately and correctly. This attack on "DEI" (🙄) is not only an attempt to resegregate science but also an attack on expertise, itself.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.
Call it what it is.
