Also, if I had a nickel for every paper I reviewed for a high impact factor journal where the authors failed to include the soil classification for their study site, I could give the lounge bartender a great tip. BTW, "meadow soil" means literally nothing to me.

I highly recommend writing the first draft of a peer review while enjoying beverages at an airport lounge. We'll see how it translates for tomorrow's Colby, but today's Colby is completely confused by the experimental design. On a related note, the PHL Chase Sapphire lounge is excellent!

I am still so mad that Senate Dems caved. This deal betrayed public servants who called on Dems to hold the line at their personal cost, will cause ~50k deaths due to lack of healthcare, and completely embolden Trump because Dems just gave up their single leverage point.

It's easy to buy gifts online. When you buy from *artists*, you're supporting working people, instead of making rich jerks richer.
This fall, send your present $$ to an artist's shop!

It's funny how hard we have to work to convince the world that uncontrolle data centre expansion is a climate risk when there's a fossil gas power station called the EXXONMOBIL POWER PLANT being built explicitly to power a data centre
Not enough people know about Homer City. The single largest fossil fuel plant that's being built *explicitly* to power a data centre.
This isn't a future projection, or some hollow marketing. This is physical stuff happening right now.
