The editor in chief of Scientific American has resigned from her position after going on an unhinged rant about the supporters of President-elect Donald Trump.On Thursday, Laura Helmuth took to the social media platform Bluesky to announce that she was stepping away from Scientific American, the oldest continuously published magazine in American history."I’ve decided to leave Scientific American after an exciting 4.5 years as editor in chief," she wrote. "I’m going to take some time to think about what comes next (and go birdwatching)."The statement itself is rather innocuous, seemingly obscuring the hate-filled context in which it was made.On election night, Helmuth descended into a foulmouthed meltdown on Bluesky after Trump emerged the winner. Rather than direct her ire at the once and future president, Helmuth took aim at the 75 million or so Americans who cast a vote for him, as Blaze News previously reported.Her statements that night included:"I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is so full of f****** fascists";"Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f*** them to the moon and back";"Every four years I remember why I left Indiana (where I grew up) and remember why I respect the people who stayed and are trying to make it less racist and sexist"; and"The moral arc of the universe isn't going to bend itself."In a post shortly after the election, she added: "Any advice on what workplaces can do to help people who are devastated by the election? Thanks so much."Her comments quickly went viral online, where users began demanding her resignation.Helmuth then attempted to quell tempers by issuing an apology a few days later, admitting that her foul-mouthed remarks had been "offensive and inappropriate" and claiming that the "shock and confusion" of the election results had gotten the best of her.She also insisted that she does "respect and value people across the political spectrum" and remains "committed to civil communication and editorial objectivity."While her apology seemed to offer a spirit of bipartisanship, Helmuth reverted back to left-wing ideology in the Bluesky thread announcing her resignation. Perhaps in homage to herself, Helmuth also included in the thread a list of Scientific American articles she has "been so proud to support," some of which focus more on promoting far-left narratives than actual science. Not only does one headline — "Gender-affirming care for trans kids is good health care" — encourage the genital mutilation and possible sterilization of children, but three also profess to tell "justice"-related "stories":"Racial justice is a science story";"Environmental justice is a science story"; and"Reproductive justice is a science story."Kimberly Lau, president of Scientific American, told CNN that Helmuth left the outlet of her own accord and that leaders there are already in the process of seeking her replacement."We thank Laura for her four years leading Scientific American during which time the magazine won major science communications awards and saw the establishment of a reimagined digital newsroom," Lau said in a statement. "We wish her well for the future."Like Blaze News? Bypass the censors, sign up for our newsletters, and get stories like this direct to your inbox. Sign up here!

Racism is alive and well in America — but it’s not coming from the Republican Party, as the Democrats have led us to believe over the past decade. “I think Sunny Hostin is the most racist person on television,” Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” tells Megyn Kelly, who believes Joy Reid and Elie Mystal are the Democrats that actually take the cake. “It’s amazing to watch, like you really can’t believe that they’re allowed to say the things they say. It’s insane on her show, and also her Instagram,” Kelly says, noting that Reid was recently “mocking white women’s tears” on the social media platform. “I want to give some free advice to the white progressives, particularly white progressive women who may be thinking about marching against the Trump victory, maybe putting back on the p-word hats and doing that thing. I would just say, probably don’t send any of those invites to any black women,” Reid said in a video post. “I’m just going to tell you right now, they’re not coming. I’m pretty sure black women have resigned from the save America coalition, save democracy coalition, and definitely the save the Democratic Party coalition,” she continued. “Just keep those invites maybe among your own friends.” Reid went on to explain that “black women are now on the save black women, prioritize black men, and prioritize black communities, black businesses, and you know, the black spaces.” Kelly can’t believe what she’s hearing. “Can you imagine, if when I was on Fox News in the prime time, if I was like, ‘Oh, look at the black women crying over George Floyd,’” Kelly says. “I would have been fired so fast. But she can get away with doing that to whites.” “Why again? Because MSNBC and NBC allow blatant racism on their airwaves every single night. She’s not the only purveyor of it, she just happens to be the worst. Also, I’m pretty sure she’s not a natural blonde,” she adds.

A unique prehistoric ceremonial site from southern Sweden dating back to the Neolithic period, or what the archaeologists are calling ‘the peasant stone age’, has been found in Hammar in Skåne. A site for ritual gathering, the objects found here date between 5,500 and 5,000 years ago. They are all within the vicinity of a causewayed enclosure, sacrificed near a wetland – a type of large, prehistoric earthwork. Will Discovery of Ancient Tombs in Poland Halt a Proposed Coal Mine? Monumental Long Barrow Burial Discovered in the Czech Republic A Causewayed Enclosure: A Rather Unusual Burial Structure "The remains and artifacts are very well preserved, which is extremely unusual for a site from this period," Magnus Artursson, project manager at Arkeologerna (The Archaeologists), National Historical Museums, said in a press release. He’s referring to well-preserved Funnelbeaker ceramic vessels, large quantities of flint tools, bone and horn tools, all well-worked.
