That’s the sound of Republicans telling nurses and other essential workers who worked themselves to the bone over the last year to go f*ck themselves

This is one of the saddest pairs of images I have ever seen.

I have met a few Nobel laureates, and I have known quite a few people one degree removed from one. As a younger scientist, I'd ask what advice they had for someone starting out. I have received many answers, but one stuck with me. 1/

I've gone down a rabbit hole of reading about the life of Yellowstone wolf 21, who seems to have been the wolf equivalent of the Buddha crossed with Batman. In his entire life he never lost a fight & never killed a defeated enemy. What a legend.

This new study finds that moving to a four-day week would cut UK carbon emissions by more than 20%, equivalent to taking the country’s entire private car fleet off the road. theguardian.com/environment/20…

Greg Sargent tells me: "I believe Republicans are banking on a pathology of the press, in which the media will place the entire onus of unity on Biden, and allow the Republican claim that unity hasn't been achieved to count as proof of itself." His post: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…

As Emperor Palpatine is falling down the reactor shaft, several high-profile members of his executive have resigned in protest, having been deeply troubled by his rhetoric. Powerful, brave stuff. #Heroes

I would not be this confident. It failed as an attempt to prevent Biden's cerification. It may have succeeded in formally launching Stop the Steal as successor to the party once known as the GOP, complete with a stab-in-the-back myth that will remain its power source for years.

1/10. The claim that Trump won the election is a big lie.

9/10. There is a cure for the big lie. Our elected representatives should tell the truth, without dissimulation, about the results of the 2020 election.

7/10. A big lie can never be told just by one person. Trump is the originator of this big lie, but it could never have flourished without his allies on Capitol Hill.

I enjoyed it, and the discussion. Thank you!

@AudreyTruschke So sorry you have to read this hateful nonsense. Hope you know that many of us appreciate your work. I always enjoy reading your tweets and writing.

Many chess players believe that women play worse chess than men. Here is how to respond. 1/

Today, the Alarmed (26%) outnumber the Dismissive (7%) nearly 4 to 1. In 2014, they were tied at 1 to 1. That's a *major shift* in the political, social and cultural climate of climate change. @YaleClimateComm

A lottttt of folks forgetting that senate republicans changed the number of justices on the bench to 8 when they denied hearings for months until they then found it advantageous to change it back to 9.

a refresher video explaining America's tax code.

Or maybe the world is not getting *so* much better? 7% of world pop live in countries whose GDPpc is less than that of the richest country in 1820; 33% in countries poorer than the richest country in 1920. So 40% of the world population is at least a century "late".
