If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

People showed us who they really were yesterday dressing up like a nazi, in blackface, and other nonsense. The consequences of those actions will catch up to you. When you have your teary eyed apology, we’ll know it is not because you feel bad about what you did, but because of what you lost.

May we all have the same courage and fortune of Duke going for and making the two point conversion on the road to beat Clemson.

How did life begin, and why does it matter? Scientists are tracing early microbial life–from LUCA to multicellularity–to unlock insights for biotech, climate science and even space exploration. Read the article: asm.org/articles/202...

This is crazy! Imagine making a “smart” bed that only operated over internet connection (with no manual controls) and you got stuck sitting up and hot because of an amazon web service outage. What a time to be alive. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...
AWS outage reminds us why $2,449 Internet-dependent beds are a bad idea

I just finished the Costco 100k. There are three Costcos in Tucson, and if you go from point to point to point, it is about 100 kilometers. For this ride, we are a hotdog at each one (final hotdog was back at the starting point). 8.5 out of 10 would do it again. Can I get a Kirkland sponsorship?
