RIP Sharon, I’m sorry you didn’t have 33 more years on this earth to grace us with your cutting insights. Incredible respect for your posthumous saltiness.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

after listening to some chemistry professors talk about graduate admissions for next year, if you are a senior this year, you need to be thinking about post-graduation plans RIGHT NOW #chemchat 🧪

I like the idea of #chemchat as a hashtag to for conversations around chemistry!
I would like to move chemistry-related conversations to chemchat, seeing as how chem/sky is basically a promotion place now.

I would have liked that to have moderated, but it's bluntly clear that the publishing houses can't change their spots

This obituary-slash-“what happened to Watson?”, by the late great Sharon Begley, makes me grateful that prewritten obits are a thing.

I’ll grant Ilmenite a titanium-iron oxide mineral with idealized formula FeTiO3 some arts points for titanium dioxide white paint but it’s no match for copper’s centuries of blue-green pigments, bronze sculpture & direct use through art history! Vote Copper!

I would probably try it because I love the Midwestern Culinary Delight that is the Apple Grande from Taco John’s. It is a fried flour tortilla with apple pie filling and sprinkled with ??crushed red cinnamon candy sprinkles?? and cheddar cheese. Used to be available year round, now only at holidays.

This is just for generic Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine dimesylate) manufactured by Sun Pharmaceuticals. If yours is made by Sun, check the lot number.

Brand name Vyvanse has a different manufacturer, and there are generic lisdexamfetamine dimesylate capsules made by other manufacturers.

Although I’m taking a break from local politics, I spent 5+ years doing affordable housing and bike/ped advocacy and 8 years on the parks commission. Yes it’s important to have ideals, but it’s also important to get stuff done. Most of the time that means you can’t be a purist. Progress is slow.
The fact that a lot of leftists despise Parks and Rec - one of the best and most sympathetic depictions of non-cop government in modern media - is a symptom of the fact that a lot of the left has no idea how to actually implement the policy proposals they want to enact.
The reason 30 Rock succeeds years later while parks and rec has aged like a toilet full of milk, is that 30 Rock doesnt shy away from portraying Liz Lemon as an obvious villian with a victim/hero complex, whereas Leslie Knope was played just a straight hero character, even tho she is a neolib shill

Critics of renewables often point to land use as a reason not to do wind & solar. Land use IS a real issue for all energy assets incl renewables unless onsite.

But what critics conveniently forget is huge land impact of fossil fuels. Aerial view of fracking sites in Texas. 👇

Congratulations to Jill Shudak, who defeated an incumbent to become the next mayor of Council Bluffs, Iowa.
(City elections are nonpartisan in Iowa, but local Democrats and labor activists were supporting Shudak)

Jill Shudak: A fighter for the underdog, the leader Council Bluffs deserves
Lisa Lima: Council Bluffs deserves a mayor who sees people, who hears them, and who fights for them. Jill Shudak is that person.
