I kill things for science (mostly plants). I study crops, weeds, and sometimes other things at a University in Wyoming (but this is a personal account). I like taking photos and writing #Rstats code, but not at the same time.

Nearly 20 or so years ago, my friend Gustavo and I learned what manure tea is. I'd like to tell you all a story about that experience. #Agriculture #Science #Friendship

"turn the phone off,
I'll keep it on silent,
nobody bother me while I'm buyin,
I got the botany bop let's stop it
if the topic ain't crops then swap it..."

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

To be clear, I was the one in tears.
My kids tried Cherry Garcia for the first time the other night. One of them said it was 'mid'. So I told them about the Great Cherry Garcia Shortage of 2020, and asked if a 'mid' ice cream flavor would be sold out for a full year?? And then I sent them to bed in tears.

I have been contacting my GOP senators regularly. I'm beginning to think that they are proud to have ushered in this period of America. They don't seem bothered by any of it.
Klobuchar: "I have personally warned this administration that there would be more deaths, that more of this would happen, and clearly they are not listening. So we ask people around the country to talk to their Republican representatives, to make clear this is not the America that is ours."

I really hope nobody acts surprised when they start killing us in our own country. They're literally saying it out loud for everyone to hear.

This chart documents one of humanity’s greatest achievements, in my view.
We just lived through the fastest population growth in human history.
It would have been impressive if food supplies had merely kept pace — but on every continent, they grew even faster than the population.

“If you don’t eat the shit sandwiches my restaurant is now serving my restaurant may go under before we figure out that nobody wants to eat shit sandwiches.”
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.
