Dear journalists, just so we're all on the same page - heckling the President of the United States during the State of the Union isn't normal, isn't American, and isn't okay.

I don't care what point they thought you were making. This was neither the time, nor the place to make it. THAT'S the story. We're all clear on that, right?

@mikec415 Wow. I hope that school district has lawsuit money, because they're going to need lawsuit money.

I am very pleased to see student-centred books like this one now being published on open science & the replication crisis. It has become ever more transparent that when you stop discussing & teaching the issues of the past, and why change was needed, those issues tend to repeat & become a problem again. With some luck, & with more books on the topic, we might start to make a lasting change here.

Congrats @drcpennington on the book. Can’t wait to read it & put it on my class reading list!

I am organizing a graduate block seminar on Virtue Epistemology this Spring and looking for guest lecturers. Please reply or DM me if you are interested!

Online participation is possible, but much better if you can travel to Eindhoven.

The Washington Post now flags journalists' profiles as verified on Mastodon.

I made a scale visualization of the shapes and relative sizes of WASP-12 b (a very hot Jupiter) and Saturn.

Saturn is spinning pretty quickly, which draws it out into a squished ball shape (oblate spheroid), whereas WASP-12 b is pulled into a long football shape by the tidal forces from its parent star.

@therobburgessshow The media are to blame, for encouraging people to think that politicians have to have larger than life personalities, instead of solid policies to benefit their people.
Those clowns don't have a people. They've forgotten they're supposed to be there to serve, not to rule.

Dammit Mastodon we need a quote-post function SO badly. Didn’t realise how important it is, but as a way to add context it’s unbeatable.

Waiting for someone to make an artisanal search engine that only indexes manually verified websites written by humans. Farm-to-table organic search results, handmade with 100% certified human creativity, like your grandparents told you about.

The latest episode of the Abandoned America podcast dropped today, and it's a wild one. In it I talk about the brief life and protracted death of the Six Flags New Orleans theme park with Jake Williams, director of the recent documentary about it, "Closed For Storm". If you want to know how a whole 220-acre theme park could be left in ruins for nearly a decade, here's your episode!

I woke up today without death threats for the first time in two weeks! The world is a safer place when Andy Ngo can't tweet.

I’m very clear that the ONLY way to the supremacy, coercion, discrimination, and exploitation FREE future I seek is through an honest reckoning with current systems, institutions, and policies DESIGNED to privilege the few at the expense of the many…that the ONLY way out, is through 💛✊🏾

Joe Biden showed last night that he is more than capable of taking on the extremist GOP and even getting them to support bedrock earned entitlements like Social Security. What a masterful stroke that was! I'm proud to stand with him.
