Decline of privately-funded science journalism in the age of Trump.
https://undark.org/2025/10/15/science-journalism-funders-trump/

"Science journalism has been fragile for many years now: Outlets like National Geographic and Wired have undergone layoffs. Others, like Sapiens, have shuttered. The environmental publication Hakai Magazine shut down last year when its funder, the Tula Foundation, withdrew its support to focus on research efforts, for example (the magazine has since joined forces with bioGraphic). A few years earlier, the U.K.’s Wellcome Trust pulled the plug on its long-form digital science magazine Mosaic."

My favorite billionaire. Bless this woman...

MacKenzie Scott just gave $40M—the largest single gift ever—to the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, doubling her previous donation and signaling steadfast support for DEI as many organizations cut back. Her donation accounts for 20% of the Fund’s lifetime total and follows a $42M gift to college access nonprofit 10,000 Degrees. As less than 2% of historic sites on the National Register reflect Black history, this boost comes when it’s urgently needed, sending a powerful message that cultural preservation and equity matter.

Amazon founder #JeffBezos, the 4th richest man in the world, promised to give away, to share a good portion of his wealth. It’s not going well 🤨. “Bezos’ wealth has nearly doubled from $124 billion to $240 billion. Meanwhile, according to publicly available data, Bezos has given away less than $5 billion since 2018. This represents about 2% of Bezos’ current wealth.” —Oligarch Watch Newsletter

Man can’t even tithe 10%‼️In my mind that makes him a heartless miser. I mean…he could do so much good. Dude should take a lesson from his ex, Mackenzie Scott, who knows how to do it right.

And this is just one more reason the world does not need billionaires. It’s long past time to start talking about a rational, equitable redistribution of income.

Without a shred of doubt. It's Aunt Sylvie.

She’s the boss at the Noble Coliseum.

Part orphanage, part old people’s home, part hospice, and part adult education centre.
