Employees at Scientific American were told today that the magazine has been sold to LabX Media Group, the outfit that runs Discover Magazine and IFLScience. And that means -- of course! -- editorial layoffs.

The Supreme Court just rewrote the rules on voting rights: before, if a map weakened Black voters' power, you could challenge it. Now, you have to prove politicians intended to do that. The result? More maps that silence voters - and fewer ways to stop it.

For decades, presidents avoided even the appearance of profiting from their office. President Donald Trump is taking a different approach. https://to.pbs.org/482NOaK
How the Trump family's business deals could open the door for future presidents to profit from office
For the Trump family, business is booming. Whereas the Trump Organization didn’t do a single deal overseas in Donald Trump's first term as president, it did eight in the past year.

We have had multiple colleagues move overseas since the Trump regime entered its 2nd term. The scientific brain drain is very real.

As little as I already thought of the man I'm in awe of what he's accomplished in 15 short months. Historic run. Basically threw away all his fire extinguishers and told every firefighter in town to eat shit, and then set his house on fire. We need a separate Mount Rushmore for morons
