The entire narrative around "scientists need to learn to be better communicators" is seriously misguided.
Scientists communicate just fine. They communicate with accuracy and purpose. That is a core skill for good science and has been for a very very long time.
We need to stop blaming scientists and recognise that the media landscape is devoid of skills to understand basic science methodology and communication. And absolutely lacks the most fundamental motivations to even bother engaging with real science.
Our society is flooded with misinformation and clickbait. This is not a "science doesn't communicate well enough" problem. Media is no longer about information, it's about entertainment. The solution is not to force scientists onto TikTok. It's great when you see some scientists who happen to be effective on social media or TV... But this is not going to be true for everyone in science and neither should it be. Don't turn science communication into a popularity contest.
You're looking at the wrong end of the horse if you think the solution is just "scientists need to communicate better".
Uhhhm, I wonder who is that "group" that clearly upset you so much when your saw that "punch [group]" slide you mention. No one could ever know, I guess. It's a mistery why you found it upsetting.

That icky sense of growing deeply ashamed for your country worsens with each passing day this sorry excuse for a human being remains in office. From the NYT:
"The Trump administration told states that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the chaos and uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown."
@kitten_tech The “it’s the users’ fault” argument, basically:
"Senators near deal to reopen government as key Democrats signal willingness to fall for the same old trick once again."

I just called my #NewMexico Senators to tell them to reject any so-called deal that does not firmly protect tax credits for health insurance now. Pls call if you live in NM, and leave messages making the point.

And the bigger problem is the worst kept secret in the world. TONS of countries have copied the US Constitution. States too. Bicameral legislatures, separation of powers. NONE included the "lets give all counties an equal voice regardless of population" structure of the Senate.
(Although I did have a fun bicameral trip to Iceland a few years back where their head of parliament told us they briefly adopted that structure but quickly got rid of it because it didn't work. House members of the delegation cheered. Senators pouted. It was fun.)
