New Horizons is now *three days away* from shutting off its two heliophysics instruments, simply because NASA has not provided the $2M in funding it had promised to the mission last year or this year. There is no science basis for shutting these off. Our earlier coverage:

NASA’s New Horizons mission may shut down two instruments over lack of funding

Decision risks “incalculable loss” of data from the edge of the Sun’s influence, scientists say

It's funny how people can see through acts named things like the Think Of The Children On The Internet Act or the Make Every Voter Rich Act, but as soon as the GOP calls one the Help Ukraine And Hurt Russia Act, somehow those lessons drain out of people's memory immediately

There's a broken cuneiform tablet from the Old Babylonian period, nearly 4,000 years ago, which preserves a tiny portion of a dialogue between two friends. It feels a bit like the conversations I've been having for the past week, so I wanted to share it.

Photo of a cuneiform tablet fragment shaped a bit like an irregular diamond. It preserves nearly 20 incomplete lines of text separated by a horizontal ruling

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

I can't imagine justifying this cut. "The programs are considered vital in those states but represent only a little over $1 million a year in federal money."

"A former Afghan National Army soldier in the process of applying for asylum in the U.S. was arrested last month by federal immigration agents at his Houston-area home, according to his attorney, who said the man and most of his family are being threatened with deportation."

SCOOP from me: the mass exodus of employees from NOAA is decimating a tiny office that literally keeps our measurements of latitude and longitude accurate — and, former employees tell me, endangers the science of how the US understands global measurements:

Trump Cuts Are Killing a Tiny Office That Keeps Measurements of the World Accurate

A tiny but crucial agency that maintains physical coordinates like latitude and longitude in the US is struggling as the Trump administration forces out federal employees.

So I don't have the energy to redo the entire thread about the papal conclave but I will redo the part about the Latin nerdery: the announcement of a new pope is always in Latin, and uses a very traditional form.

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Alt-Txt: Two people stand before multi-color strips of paper with text on them that stretch down an entire wall and onto the floor. The title of the installation "I Agree" appear in all caps on the wall, too.

Senator Schmitt’s remarks right now on “cultural Marxism” are nearly verbatim from the opening pages of the Oslo murderer Anders Breivik’s manifesto. Not saying he’s plagiarizing! Just that these are literally fascist talking points.

December is a time for powering down, reflecting on the year passed, and contemplating intention to the year ahead. To that end I make it a point to reread this every December. I truly have no idea what 2025 is going to bring, but I can control what I hold as important.

It is so important we support these local publications right now. One of the best tangible things we can do at this moment is prop up our local journalists who are not millionaires pumped full of Botox, but are exhausted folks down in the trenches, because they love a free press.
