Ultimately, Donald Trump will be undone by his lies. But will that be enough to save America. Because the past six months have revealed that we face a much bigger problem--a nationwide failure of leadership in many of our most important institutions. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-is-the...
Trump Is the Icarus of Lies. Has He Flown Too Close to the Sun?
Even if he’s melting down, though, we’ve got bigger problems to worry about.

"Let me state it plainly: we are rushing into the most dangerous period in human history, and the Trump administration seems determined that we do it blindly. It’s inconceivably stupid, and it’s entirely real. And the planet doesn’t care—physics will not cut us any slack because we elected a moron."

Please read, this is important. Sorry it’s long.

Trump’s move to have Elon Musk step aside wasn’t a retreat. It was a distraction. With Musk’s name out of the headlines, many assumed the controversial Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) had quietly ended. It hasn’t. It’s just changed hands.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

El Niño ("the Christ child") gets its name from its typical arrival around Christmas time. It peaked roughly a year ago. The tropical Pacific now looks much more like the flip-side "La Nina" state, and global sea surface temperatures are 0.3-0.4C cooler.

The censorship on Twitter is astounding. We're seeing a 98% drop in engagement last week over the same week two years ago. From a little over a 1,000,000 views a week to less than 17,000.

So we moved over to Bluesky 😇
