They calculated that they would be spared if they didn't make themselves a target.
They will not be spared.

The thing that gets me is Jonathan Gruber and @simonhrjohnson.bsky.social lay out this great vision of government investment in science and resulting progress that can really increase quality of life in non-coastal cities.

Had this House Finch land on my feeder, chasing off another as he landed. Poor guy is missing a leg, or at least his foot, or it’s injured enough he’s kept it tucked the whole time.

Saw the Gorge last night with my kids. I worry that they are going to grow up having learned much of their science and history through listening to me yell at the bad movies I make them watch.

A man genetically destined to develop Alzheimer's isn't showing any symptoms
A man with genetic mutation that causes Alzheimer's to appear before age 50 remains cognitively fine in his mid 70s. Understanding why could lead to new treatments for the disease.

@birdsoftheworld.bsky.social I have been assured by scientific authority that the bird on the left is a female Northern Cardinal that only looks green because of a camera artifact, but just in case, who much money does one get for discovering a new species?
