This is what happens when you replace miners with microbes. Liz Dennett and her team at Endolith extract copper using biology, not bulldozers. More copper, less environmental impact. @mikevsclimate.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/C0dU6... #BioMining #Endolith #SustainableTech

I have a new show I’m hosting with my friend Neal. In our first episode, we talk about how the rules and the consequences only seem to apply to a few.

if we had an effective dem party, starting 8:30-9 this am, every dem on capitol hill would be on this story. they'd be calling for hegseth and waltz and the rest to resign, theyd be calling on trump to come clean with the people about what else they leaked. they'd be pushing for investigations etc

An Astonishing Sports Record Was Broken Last Year. It’s Historic. Nobody Noticed.
The 2024 Baltimore Orioles did something historic—and not even the team knew.

A screenshot of Jesuit Father James Martin saying: 

In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

There is no such thing as “leaking” information about Zuckerberg. He does not believe in control or consent over information being shared by others. He does not believe in the idea of social norms for interpersonal interactions based on respect or trust. There can’t be any transgression or betrayal.

Incredibly frustrating that even @pbsnews.bsky.social & @nytimes.com have fallen for the DEI / FAA canard. The jerk is taking bribes in public and firing FAA safety staff, but yeah, let’s talk about how there might be someone who is slightly different than me that might have, maybe been involved.

From Bertrand Russell, by way of @bises-zachary.bsky.social
Screenshot of the following quote: “The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic
leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other.
This technique is as old as the hills; it was practiced in almost every Greek city, and the moderns have only enlarged its scale.”

This piece captures it: post-2015 America has basically seen the unqualified triumph of everything I find repulsive. I don't just mean policy or politics, either -- aesthetics, media, habits of thought & speech, hobbies & professions ... I just feel profoundly alienated from all of it.

A four panel comic. 

First panel: Two squirrels staring at songbirds in a tree saying “I just love the sound of the birds singing”

Second panel: a Canada Goose sticks his head and say, “Really?”

Third panel: Close up on the goose, it says “I’m a bird”

Final panel: with the squirrels running away, the goose shouts “I take requests!”
