    Senate votes to kill entire public broadcasting budget in blow to NPR and PBS

    Among the (many, many, many) problems for the right is that reality, as it has been mentioned, tends to have a liberal bias. Our species wouldn't be here without a certain level of altruism and burden-sharing as well as without various mechanisms by which the young are collectively taken care...

    Nearly everyone opposes Trump’s plan to kill space traffic control program

    "Nearly all Americans are figuring out that Trump and his administration are aiming to cripple and disable the United States from within."

    Nissan feels the effect of US-China trade war

    In reality, it has to be seen that big oil's interests (in the US and globally) are in direct conflict with US interests (at least mostly and for the long term). Its big oil's dominance over US politics that is keeping us from becoming leaders in renewable and EV technology and market cap...

    DOGE told the NIH which grants to cancel with no scientific review

    Scientific or data based reviews also not needed. The purpose of the current administration is to completely debilitate and essentially destroy the US government as the people have known it. I'm not one prone to hyperbole or "feels" induced commentary - I simply think this is also plain for...

    DOGE told the NIH which grants to cancel with no scientific review

    It doesn't need a definition for republicans, so the judge is right. DEI is code for coloreds or anyone otherwise non-white. If they feel that any system is not being 100% bent to advantage whites, particular white (fake) christian males, then just call it DEI and do away with it. This is...

    NASA tested a new SLS booster that may never fly, and the end of it blew off

    Yes, but as with all things with 2-Weeks TACO, it'll be a cancel with nothing to replace it. It's one thing to cancel a program or project , but it's another to replace said cancellation with a better implementation, or a new, better program or project designed to achieve the same thing...

    Trump’s FTC announces merger condition that prohibits advertising boycotts

    Trying to understand how this makes sense in any arena.. I'm not allowed to boycott your business? (regardless of why) And for those supporting this nonsense, I bet 20 different vid clips can be found of them vomiting out "free market" dribble.

    Suspected China state hackers exploited patched flaw to breach Canadian telecom

    Given that this timeline is absolutely infested with all manner of nonsense and the previously unthinkable seems to be everyday stuff.. As Canada, I would ascertain the estimated value lost because of the attack (including the costs associated with its detection and mitigation) and directly...

    Sharks used to be my top sea-psychos until Orcas as well. lol and once Orca started wearing salmon hats, they cemented No.1 spot. Sharks are still a strong No.2, however

    Senate passes GENIUS Act—criticized as gifting Trump ample opportunity to grift

    It's a shame most Americans haven't figured out they're about 70% into the losing end of a civil war. When they wake up, it would've long ago been too late - IF they wake up; most are still talking about wanting democrats to "fight more". The time to have done that is long past as Biden and...

    Experimental retina implants give mice infrared vision

    (off-topic mostly) I always find myself mixed after reading articles like these.. On the one hand, science and tech is progressing at a blazing pace and we have some tech (both terrifying and absolutely wonderful) in the works and coming down the line. On the other hand, we have a sizeable...

    Robotaxis burn in Los Angeles in backlash to immigration raids

    Hard to be a patriot when your military arm is dispatched to intimidate or prevent unarmed civilians exercising their constitutional rights to peaceful protest. It. is. not. right. Edit: spelling

    Federal judge blocks Florida law that bans kids from social media

    The republicans sure love keeping the government out of people's business, don't they? From what you can read to what you can teach - even to who is allowed in the classroom in the first place... what they should look like, how they should sound and act.. ..when they want to showcase freedom...

    Tuesday Telescope: Lighting, sprites, and airglow over Central America

    Quite possibly because I haven't had my coffee yet, or that I only managed to get 4 hours of sleep.. But more likely because I love both Earth and Space and that is one of the most beautiful photos I've lost myself staring into in a long, long time..
