I mean, Iran is tragically illustrating how much worse it could get as we speak. :-/

It would be great if Europeans were as upset about the authoritarianism and nativism of their own government (and the EU) as they are about that of Trump.

I love how Castor and Pollux are twins with two different bio dads. Greek myth and reproduction in general is an endless source of amusement.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

Hello #EconSky I’m a PhD Candidate from Gothenburg University on the academic market this year. My research covers environmental and labor economics, and my #EconJMP studies the effect of a carbon tax reform on firms and labor market inequality in Sweden.

Imagine listening to the Fall of Civilizations podcast, or Revolutions, the History of Rome (all of which Musk apparently is/has been a fan of) and thinking "yes, undermining institutions is the way to prevent collapse". Truly wild.
