Now that I’m off Twitter, HuffPost is my new go-to for drama. This is a great summary of our very stupid president
Maybe Rex Tillerson Was Right. Maybe Trump Really Is Just A Moron.
His lying and temper tantrums aside, evidence abounds that the president's most important, and dangerous, feature is his ignorance.

Work breaks
Sick leave
Paid holidays
No child labor
Safer working conditions

I don't know how many times I've told people that Trump is a symptom of the disease that is at the base of the USA since day one! He is not the problem; he is the core made visible.

And then comes Oliver Kornetzke and turns it into poetry! Published By @keithedwards.bsky.social on YT today. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

🧪. Sharing this for my science friends and colleagues, and I hope to convey this to the students in my class this fall. What is said here about writing is equally true about science and its practice.
this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

My cats not allowed on tables. Lily surprised the heck out of me. I bet they dance on counters when I’m asleep.

“Well done, my good and faithful servant”… are the first words that came to my mind when hearing of the passing of President Carter. He & his bride committed their lives to service in the most selfless way.

Let us all honor his legacy by doing our part to serve our country & our community.

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.
