Pro tip for science nerds:
an old flow cell affixed to your window with double sided tape will cast stunning rainbows across your room every day.

Exactly 100 years ago —March 11th 1925— a 20 year old Nazi shot a prominent Jewish writer in Austria.
Great reminder that the rise of Nazi style facism was transnational and had a long arc before Hitler consolidated power. And it was fueled by extremist young incel men.

Neil Gorsuch helped SCOTUS destroy the EPA today.
Neil has hated the EPA since he was a child, because his Mom also tried to destroy the EPA back in 1981.
In 1983, she was forced to resign in disgrace and step down as EPA Administrator after being caught up in numerous corruption scandals.

Here was my goodreads review of “The Boniface Option” which is a BAP-aligned Christian Nationalist screed about how the good Christian thing to do is hate the right people and be cruel in the right ways 🤮

Right winger nuts hate it when you call them nazis, incels, racists, & conspiracy loons. But it’s objectively an accurate statement!
When you map the connections between the user base of Trump & MAGA telegram channels, the central nodes are *literally* *explicit* incel, nazi, white power, & QAnon.

The founder of the Opus Dei cult was inspired by and operating-in-reaction-to a variety of contemporary secret societies (some real, some imagined)… and all I can think about is how this is the standard XKCD comic about proliferating solutions creating a need for more solutions 🤦🏼

Currently reading Opus by @garethgore.bsky.social and it’s reminding me just how silly so much of the big evil stuff is.
Reminds me of reading @sarahkendzior.bsky.social ‘s book They Knew.
Big real conspiracies!
True horrors.
But tiny sad little men with deeply silly ideas pulling strings.

Yes. Exactly. That’s my experience of this in the Berkeley area.
It’s approximately this XKCD comic. Except, instead of “cable standard” it’s “working group to understand the fringe theory”
