Turns out contemporary conservatives hate all of science. Being ignorant is now a tribal identity marker for them.

In the least surprising news of the day the Trump regime fakes evidence to justify their treatment of a person.

That moment when you find sceptical figures you once respected think “woke ideology” is a far bigger threat to science than the right wing extremists in the Trump Administration.

I went crazy ages ago, and now I just watch the train run off the bridge for the dark side of the moon.

Not a few Christian Nationalists have been vocal in calling for the repealing of the 19th Amendment. This is one way to achieve something like that. Gotta stop those handmaidens voting.

Making the Chinese look like the good guys and adults in the room isn’t hard when you’re dealing with couch boy, admittedly.

Exactly. Remember, he’s a corrupt stupid conman and convicted felon. There’s no Machiavellian plans here. He’s just behaving like he always has in the business world.

Now that those tariffs have been reversed or paused, are we now back in the emasculated free-trade wilderness? Curious minds want to know.

The more she lies the smaller her nose gets and the larger her cross grows. It’s like an inverse Pinocchio of the far right.

The gestapo allusions can be taken as given.

I have no problems with the research as such but we’re not resurrecting dead species. They’re gone forever and misleading hype like this is irritating.

Exactly. Who would come to the U.S. to build a scientific career when future Republican regimes could deport your postdocs and grad students or just make them disappear?

I’m quite happy for all of them to be cancelled forever, which is a shame because the Blind Watchmaker still remains my favourite evolutionary biology book.

Charlie Kirk lies again. It’s all he can do.

The pathetic trigger control underlines the fact these are cruel morons cosplaying a government.

One third of America is fundamentally broken. It can only be outvoted and outlived.

Tired of the Trumpenführer’s belligerent idiocy? How about a reminder about looming food insecurity?

That last paragraph needs to be branded on the foreheads of every pearl-clutching conservative who whines about drugs but dies absolutely nothing to address the root causes of the problem.

Pah! Who needs turnips? Any competent cook can make a meal without food.

This is about as dystopian as your authoritarian regime can get. When the courts fail to uphold due process, anyone can be disappeared.

Brainworm Jr has reached the “precious bodily fluids” level of insanity.

As a rule, there’s always good reading in any banned book list. I’ve now got more titles to add to the to-read list, courtesy of the pig-ignorant fascists driving the U.S. into the ground.

So, who’s on weed in this administration?

For example, this is what is considered the biggest news in the world according to Fox News. Seriously, people in the right wing info sphere are negatively informed; they become actively dumber by watching it.

Ken Gilmore @kengilmore.bsky.social · 05/04/2025

There is of course zero chance of Fox News viewers ever seeing either this delightfully mocking image or the news.

If you think the disaster afflicting American medical science reminds you of Lysenko’s reign of terror, you’re not alone. Even if the current regime was magically deposed tomorrow, the impact on American science will last at least a generation.

“Make America Healthy Again”: The new Lysenkoism

Trofim Lysenko was a Soviet scientist whose dogmatic science denialism led to mass famine when his ideas were applied to agriculture. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is a lot like Lysenko in his science denial

Elmo is evil, I will grant him that. Otherwise, the Orange pustule is just ranting again. I haven’t seen a radical left monster in America large enough to harm it like - forever.

Trunpanzees live in an alternative universe where up is down. Fox News is basically blackwhite prolefeed.

Ignoring the fact the EU is quite right not to take good from a country with inferior food safety standards, this is juvenile talk from a grown man. The Trump regime is incompetent and corrupt. It’s also childish.

The Amazon rainforest emerges as the new global oil frontier

This is why the political elite aren’t making any effort to address climate change. They’re waiting for Greenland and the Amazon to die so oil and mineral extraction will be much easier.

Half a century of oil drilling has left the Amazon rainforest scarred -and a new wave of fossil fuel extraction is coming

Beyond ridiculous. We’re dealing with mouth-drooling idiocy.

Who’s not on the tariff list? “Russia. Also absent: Belarus, which has been actively allied with Russia in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.” The corruption of this administration is off the charts.

Performative cruelty for the gratification of the white conservative evangelical Republican base.

The obscenity and cruelty of abortion bans. This is nothing to do with protecting life; it’s all about control, subjugation and torture of women by religious extremists.

Anyone who thinks race is a biological reality is both a blithering idiot and a vulgar little racist.
