My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:
Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.
Thanks

JASON: I had no idea Peter was such a fan of folk music.
ANDY: He is?
[SECOND PANEL - Jason closeup]
JASON: He's up in his room listening to some CD and every other word is "folk this" and "folk that."
[THIRD PANEL]
JASON: I guess he's a little worried about his "cool" image, 'cause he told me not to tell you.

Was asked how to best recruit rotation PhD students that will ultimately join - meetings pre decision to rotate are 🔑, what your lab is best equipped to teach-support in terms of research-training [also what you are willing to support that your lab doesn't do] - also what you can't support. 1/2

This is a real-time disaster in motion. The people responsible for the Colorado river watershed need to get their shit together. Immediately. If the people in place currently aren’t up to job, replace them with people who can. Also, this problem is not unique to the Colorado river…
Remember when people made fun of the plot twist in Quantum of Solace was that the bad guys weren't stealing oil, but water?
We have NEW forecasts for the Colorado River and they are BLEAK. Lake Powell could drop by as much as 50 FEET this year: www.fox13now.com/news/colorad... #utpol #Utah

There are a variety of good companies that make sunglasses without the built- in invasion of privacy and AI corruption.
Ray-bans were my go to shades for a long time and I’d been thinking about going back.
But it kinda feels like the stench of Tesla here. Like, I’d not wear them (or drive a Tesla) if you gave them to me.
We only have our reputations at the end. That is all we can ever take with us.

Absolutely true. Crushing the mRNA industry in the USA also does enormous damage to the economy of the .US
Crushing the mRNA industry in the US also probably destroys a bunch of cures for various cancers just as an FYI.

Just say no.
Meta is putting a "Name Tag" feature in Ray-Bans - facial recognition through the glasses' camera. You look at someone, AI tells you who they are.
In an internal document, the company wrote that the timing is good because civil society groups are busy with politics and won't cause problems.

Did my AP exams in grade 11 with what felt like 2 blowtorches on my back.
And if it is related to MS- have a much loved cousin in a chair due to bad MS. Anyone acting in any way to increase risk of that happening can burn

I just stumbled across this and thought some of you might like to see it. A letter from E.B. White to a man who'd written he'd lost all hope:

Let’s hear it for the Smokey Hill Chalk! Awesome local fishing from the region where I grew up.
Can you imagine trying to get this sucker into the boat?
Look at those teeth!

It is not often that I make a 2 #FossilFriday posts but, I will make an exception. This is the skeleton of the fish Xiphactinus audax. It was found by a friend looking fossils in the Late Cretaceous (Santonian) Smokey Hill Chalk in Kansas. You think you afraid of the ocean now? You've seen nothing!

Yup. Nothing new to see here.
Just another day of completely unhinged actions by a lawless narcissist who is grabbing all he can from American taxpayers.
Because this is precisely what that is. The President of the United States is telling the American taxpayer that they owe him $10B.

DOJ is obstructing justice by failing their legal OBLIGATION to release the Epstein files. It could get some nasty pedophiles off the street and into jail cells where they belong.
A responsible American administration committed to the constitution and rule of law would not behave this way.

Also: The DOJ is waaaaaaay late on releasing the Epstein materials.
