xAI running unpermitted and massively polluting gas turbine generators at one of their new data centers?
Elon Musk's xAI?
Flouting EPA rules?!
Noooo… that can't be. Color me shocked!

Massive delight to get to talk to @alexdainis.bsky.social, @tracedominguez.com and @drjoehanson.bsky.social for @neverpo.st about what it's like being a science communicator right now, in this information environment.
It certainly is quite a time to do this science communication thing, isn’t it?
Listen to us talk about it!
it’s the porntipsguzzardo administration
SPOILER: Their overriding priority is not actually "securing the future of civilization." You'll never guess what it really is!
If the overriding priority really is "securing the future of civilization" then I thought of 20 things billionaires can do NOW right here on Earth instead of far-fetched Moon/Mars dreams
Folks, if we can't reach prosperity within our own planet's boundaries, we'll never do it anywhere else either
Look how hard it is for him to say no. He looks like he's sucking on a lemon just to get that word salad answer out
When it is this hard for the people in charge of our national health research infrastructure to tell the truth about easy and obvious things, we are in deep doo-doo
Journalists arrested. Protestors murdered by the state. Religious nationalists at every level.
This administration has been stunningly bold in their assault on our rights. Not even trampling on one of the deep cut amendments that no one remembers, they’re just coming right after number 1
So many incredible applications of AI are being overlooked by the world because a few companies are obsessed with building slop meme machines and chatbot tamagotchis

The 1st, 2nd, 4th are not hypothetical. They are inalienable.
Today will not be forgotten.
@pbs.org has had my whole heart since I was little little, so it is very surreal to be writing for a PBS Digital Studios show! Here is my first episode of Be Smart:

Thank you @drjoehanson.bsky.social & team! My nose knowledge now knows no bounds 👃
I am calling for a complete and total boycott of the Mercator projection in all news stories about Greenland until every member of the American public has seen this
If the hollow souls on the authoritarian right are so certain that agents are acting within their rights when detaining or killing US citizens, they should have no problem with this
Tough weekend to be a team that lost to us
So… every single word of this is now true. We are now in that world.
Sorry, Carl
Linda Perry from 4 Non Blondes wrote and produced Christina Aguilera’s hits “Candyman” and “Beautiful”
I feel like more people should know this
"Let me read/watch that for you" content is so tiresome and destructive to actual journalism
I think people sharing their connection and reaction to events can really help news penetrate society's numbed attention, but barfing up someone else's work and saying "look what I found" is C- mindset
Can you DM a link? I will report
I WANT TO BELIEVE (that people were making nuanced distinctions between little grays and slime-covered exoplanets, but I can't)
In 1996 only 48% of Americans thought aliens were real so things are going great 🫠 www.newsweek.com/alien-invasi...
In 1996, only 48% of Americans believed aliens were probably real. Things are not moving in the right direction! 🫠

In the sense that “unhealed emotional and spiritual trauma” means multiple mutations in genes involved in cell proliferation, DNA repair, and immune system evasion, this is true
Bluesky traffic is not gonna top any scales here
Here's another: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bgpy...
These channels are tiny nothingburgers when it comes to traffic, but this is a critical invasion of privacy. If these companies aren't going to protect creator identities from AI theft, we're doomed y'all
Numerous videos are using an unauthorized model of my voice to narrate AI slop.
And YouTube just told me this doesn't violate any privacy rules!
This is unquestionably me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8F4N...
Apparently YouTube doesn't care about protecting our identities from AI theft. Infuriating.
@pbs.org & @drjoehanson.bsky.social doing the lord's work & letting ppl know that genetics isn't as simple & convenient as the Punnett Square, & that life is so complex & messy that even the simplest, most mundane things about us are still the result incredibly complex systems interacting 🧬
I refuse to believe this is not a Monty Python sketch. No notes. Next-level hilarious!

If a person wants to build wealth, there are much easier and cheaper ways than buying a slowly appreciating asset that requires insurance, maintenance, and property taxes and would cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars of interest payments in order to see any real equity
Sadly, I think a lot of people don’t know better
A friend used to work in computer sales. He was required to sell financing but frequently broke his sales script to ask if buyer understood how much they would end up paying for a $500 computer
Few cared. Monthly payment was all they understood
