Do people really think God isn’t behind science?? If you believe in omniscience, it follows you’d believe God wants us to figure it out. Are automobiles evil and we should just walk and ride horses? Science is so beautiful and wonderful - just makes me love God more🤷♀️

Are you from one of these states? Then we need your help to save American science!
The Senate Appropriations Committee will be marking up the President's Budget Request for science on Wednesday. People have been saying the proposed cuts "decimated" US science, but that's wrong: they are apocalyptic

‘Superman’ Film’s Right-Wing Backlash: Director Calls Superhero An Immigrant—And MAGA Erupts

![Occasionally language is unintentionally macaronic. One particularly famed piece of schoolyard Greek in France is Xenophon's line "they did not take the city; but in fact they had no hope of taking it" (οὐκ ἔλαβον πόλιν· άλλα γὰρ ἐλπὶς ἔφη κακά, ouk élabon pólin; álla gàr elpìs éphē kaká). Read in the French manner, this becomes Où qu'est la bonne Pauline? A la gare. Elle pisse et fait caca. ('Where is Pauline the maid? At the [railway] station. She's pissing and taking a shit.')[12][13]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3vmecllmlgwtjwlbds7cz6z3/bafkreiga2cdigsrf37xq6vvtlq6dch3ftdin7xwujoemechbipkabf5qva@jpeg)
