Save Science
Science saved your life. It's time to save science.
Science is one of the best use of tax dollars, and the most efficient use at that. Any attack on science is a dangerous set back for us all, and terrible for the collective health and wellbeing of the people. Watching this unbelievably vile and incompetent fascist regime destroying science fills me with apoplectic rage. This episode was planned weeks ago, and I am excited to finally release it. I am almost certain that this won't make any difference, but I wanted to do it anyway. This is a virtue of an indie hobby production: I do it because I want to. I wanted to say something, do anything, to support science right now.
Now is the time to show your support to the scientists you know and the scientists you see in the world. If you haven't already, convince all of your scientists peers to stop using twitter and migrate to Bluesky. Follow Stand Up for Science and be vocal about it. As always, contact your representatives about your concerns, vote in the small elections (primary everyone!), and be vocal. The fascists want everyone to forget about them or give up on hope. Do neither. Choose hope.

More to come. Keep fighting. Do not give up. Save science because it is what saved you and will continue to save you.
Stay tuned.
