Laura Helmuth, Editor-in-Chief at Scientific American is out after an uncontrollable rant on social media.

What was she ranting about? We’ll give you one guess. Scientific American says she jumped. Our guess is she was pushed. Suffice to say, Helmuth did not have a great night on the 5th of November. Here are a few of her excerpts from her social media platform, Bluesky.

Solidarity to everybody whose meanest, dumbest, most bigoted high-school classmates are celebrating early results because f–k them to the moon and back.” -Laura Helmuth

“F-ck you to the moon and back” sounds so well thought-out and intellectual, don’t you think?

Science.

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. The moral arc of the universe isn’t going to bend itself.”-Laura Helmuth

Oh, the moral arc of the universe! Let’s talk about morals for a sec, oh scientific, intellectual, smarter-than-us-because-YOU-left-bigoted-racist-podunk-Indiana. (W)HO was running against Donald Trump? WHO was advocating for mutilating children or killing them before they were even born? WHO allowed a bunch of thugs across our border who killed innocent Americans? Give it a rest.

But she didn’t.

I apologize to younger voters that my Gen X is full of f–king fascists.”-Laura Helmuth

Pull up a chair and step into my parlor, Ms. Helmuth. Gen X is not full of “f-cking fascists”. Even your party of choice is moving away from that word because, quite obviously, it did not bode so well for them in the end.

Let’s talk about Gen-X for a second. We have fallen for the pie-in-the-sky “we’ll pay for your useless college degree” BS back in the 90s. We expected it because we thought we were special (I speak from personal experience here). Some of us WERE Democrat blue all the way but, through the years, we had to bust our asses working sometimes three jobs at a time and learn the hard way that hard work and independence outweighs any government handouts. Some of us have been on this Godforsaken planet long enough to see the cycle of establishment in Washington D.C. We saw it wasn’t getting us anywhere.

We had kids. Some of us spoiled them rotten to the point of them still expecting to get a reward for merely showing up to work. We wanted to shelter them from this bad, mad world and told them they could be anyone and anything they wanted (including a completely different gender) and that THEY deserve the handouts. These kids will belittle and bully anyone who does not agree with their ideologies. These are the Gen-Xers with whom you have “solidarity”. The rest of us, who have raised responsible, free-thinking, non-delusional and hardworking kids can just f-ourselves to the moon and back. We’re the problem with Gen-X, supposedly.

Helmuth has since deleted her rants and apologized for her “offensive and inappropriate conduct”.

Scientific American has been so, uh, scientific (cough) over Helmuth’s Helm:

Laura Hemuth did her darnedest to fight science “misinformation“. From 2022:

President Biden is doing much better than President Trump in supporting science. He has appointed science-informed leaders to run federal agencies. His response to the COVID pandemic has been more evidence-based and humane than Trump’s. He takes climate science seriously and has supported efforts to reduce emissions across the federal government. He undid some of the damage Trump did to the federal science workforce and funding research.

The other two branches of U.S. government are Congress and the Supreme Court. A lot of science-related issues will be determined by who wins November elections to the Senate and House of Representatives. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court is now dominated by anti-science justices who have ruled against the scientific evidence for gun control, abortion rights, and climate action.”-Laura Helmuth

Evidence-based and humane?

We can’t expect much else from progressive parrot Helmuth, who has been part of the machine for quite some time now. In addition to Scientific American, Helmuth also held positions at WaPo and Slate. She was installed as Editor-In-Chief in 2020, and since then, the magazine went on to endorse both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

In the November election, the U.S. faces two futures. In one, the new president offers the country better prospects, relying on science, solid evidence and the willingness to learn from experience. She pushes policies that boost good jobs nationwide by embracing technology and clean energy. She supports education, public health and reproductive rights. She treats the climate crisis as the emergency it is and seeks to mitigate its catastrophic storms, fires and droughts.

In the other future, the new president endangers public health and safety and rejects evidence, preferring instead nonsensical conspiracy fantasies. He ignores the climate crisis in favor of more pollution. He requires that federal officials show personal loyalty to him rather than upholding U.S. laws. He fills positions in federal science and other agencies with unqualified ideologues. He goads people into hate and division, and he inspires extremists at state and local levels to pass laws that disrupt education and make it harder to earn a living.

Only one of these futures will improve the fate of this country and the world. That is why, for only the second time in our magazine’s 179-year history, the editors of Scientific American are endorsing a candidate for president. That person is Kamala Harris.

One of two futures will materialize according to our choices in this election. Only one is a vote for reality and integrity. We urge you to vote for Kamala Harris.”-Scientific American

Reality and integrity. Of course, we only chose snippets from this write-up.The article drones on with “proof” of why Harris was their chosen pick. Anyone else think they should have just ended with a “if you don’t choose Kamala, f-ck you to the moon and back?”

We’re sure Laura Helmuth will pick herself up, dust herself off and go write about gender-bending birds somewhere else in the arc of the universe. Hey, Elon? I hear you have some rockets. Oh, how I feel another troll a-comin’!
