(2) you’re a baller, a true queen
(3) i have determined the statistical law of motion of the diatomic molecule in planck’s radiation field 🧪⚛️

Join Andrea Jenkyns on her march against solar panels today!

Just a note team.

Steer clear of the ones with a plaque reading:

“This solar panel represents the 16,120 solar panels that provide solar electricity directly to Wakefield Manufacturing Site. Opened by Andrea Jenkyns MP 8 September 2017”

if you live around conservatives, a common bumper sticker reads “liberalism is a mental disorder.” you’ll see effigies of dem politicians, unhinged screeds about satan-worshipping dems written on lawn signs. this stuff gets ignored while any hint of condescension from liberals is treated as endemic

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

And here we have the nexus of the post-truth era: incentivised, partisan, deregulated political social media content and deliberate defunding/potential persecution of academic misinformation research.
Trump has vowed to crack down on universities involved in misinformation research, or what he dubs the "censorship cartel" - e.g. by curbing funds to those that have "flagged content for removal”, or legal threats

“I'm pretty fucking scared," one professor tells me.
