In April 2022, the Heritage Foundation introduced 'Project 2025' with the hope of guiding America toward authoritarianism. Now, with Donald Trump at the top of the Republican ticket, that threat has only grown more dire. But what exactly are the plans of Project 2025, and how can we fight against this right-wing movement? A Q&A with Thomas Zimmer, Professor of 20th-century U.S. and international history at Georgetown University, sheds light on this dangerous project. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/project-2025-thomas-zimmer-trump

The serene/ferocious Sun ... just moments ago ... as imaged by the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) in various wavelengths.
Any CMEs from region 3664 in the next few days will not strike earth as the region (at the 4 o'clock position) is rotating away from us. But other sunspot regions may become more active and start lobbing CMEs at us

Not sure what those who advocate for the use of ChatGPT in scientific writing have in mind. It is the very act of writing that helps us think about the connections and implications of our results, identify gaps, and devise further experiments and controls.
Any science project that can be written up by a bot from tables of results and associated literature isn’t the kind of science that I’d want to do to begin with.
Can’t imagine completing a manuscript not knowing what comes next, because the writing was done automatically instead of me putting extensive thought into it.
And why would anyone bother to read it if the authors couldn’t be bothered to write it. Might as well put up the tables and figures into an archive online, stamp a DOI on it, and move on.

Witt the help of journalists around the nation, Trump and his people are systematically poisoning jury pools.
Surely their goal is to ensure that at least one member of every criminal jury is a Trump acolyte, thereby ensuring hung juries no matter how clear the evidence is.

Messi’s practicing what he learned in Paris: when the last defender would do literally anything not to let you specifically score on him, just pass it to the open man.
He’s gonna get maybe 9-10 regular-season MLS games and he’s actually got a shot at the assists lead.
Barry Wark boosted:
The Busquets, Messi, Alba goal about sums it up. They’re just operating on a different level and even if you’re tight to them you basically leave space for someone else. This Miami team is beatable, but not if you don’t put away your chances to score. There seems to be a lot of player psychology at work now. #MLS

I had to go look. We were the last team to beat #IMCF #InterMiami in league play — a few days pre-Messi.
I have watched almost every Miami game (but only a few in Leagues Cup, which they won) since he and Busi arrived — and yeah, they are a completely different team now. It’s wild.
I am now hoping they can make the cutoff for playoffs. What a ride from last place to the finals that would be.
Still gonna root harder for my #StLouisCITYSC team though!

WEHI (my workplace), is hiring a Laboratory Head in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: https://wehi.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/WEHI/job/Parkville-Victoria-Australia/Laboratory-Head-Artificial-Intelligence-and-Machine-Learning_JR2157-1.
This might be of interest to someone here on fedi!
Plus, I'm personally excited for WEHI to scale up our ML focus.

So the Spanish fútbol association has reached the “blame the women” phase of the Rubiales scandal. Very bad look, FA.

The UEFA Nations League starts on 21 September. Rubiales is vice-president of UEFA.
I wonder if every player not on strike would wear some kind of #EstamosContigo shirt in solidarity.
Or, ideally, participate in the strike itself. Just both teams walk off the pitch after the anthems.
(Assuming all this is still dragging on by then.)

I think Nike scored another own goal by not including the #matildas shirt for Mackenzie Arnold in this limited run, but what do I know.

We chat to Dr Kathy Thornton, nuclear physicist turned NASA astronaut who went on to fly on four Space Shuttle missions. Dr Thornton flew for over 40 days and completed over 21 hours of EVA, including the famous operation to fix the blurry Hubble Space Telescope. We talk about her life as an astronaut, the Hubble fix and that fateful day in mission-control on Columbia's last re-entry.
