There is a vigil in 45 minutes. I am still feeling sick from tear gas and not going.

But at 7pm CST, whoever you are and where ever you are. Go to your street corner. Light a candle. If you are someone who prays, pray.

Shine a light for Minnesota!🕯

Whether it's Republicans assaulting their wives or Democrats liking negative tweets about their friends at the Free Press, both sides have done things to hurt people who are close to them.

Welcome to Bluesky: Weird Al is on here but you sometimes don’t immediately get told that. That’s most of the important information.

Dear funding agencies,

I know we all want to discover the wonder drug that will cure the horrible diseases, but to do that, we need to invest in basic, unsexy, foundational research on how the systems work. Funding can’t all be drug development.

Sincerely,
Looking for basic research grants.

I came across this petroglyph yesterday in an undisclosed canyon in Arizona. Those feet make me think grizzly bear. What do you think?

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

They don't want us to see this picture anymore. They want us to forget. I'm not going to forget.
I think I'll just keep reposting it.
