Got to witness a spiderhawk doing spiderhawk things on my run today. Kind of a bad photo as I didn't have my macro lens on me nor did she really like when I got to close.

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.
BREAKING: The FDA has officially announced they will be banning artificial dyes in the food supply by the end of 2026
This includes Red 40, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, Blue 1, Blue 2, Green 3

Is there a #videogame #library? Maybe something like #Libby, but it's for steam games? I'd happily check some games out from the library 😶🌫️

Alright, I played Finspan yesterday with some friends. I really enjoyed the reinvention of the board play space. Wyrmspan felt too similar to Wingspan in its mechanics to feel novel. Finspan used familiar mechanics and ultimately felt more like a sequel. I look forward to seeing expansion content!
I love Wingspan, and Wyrmspan is pretty fun, but what are we doing now 😭

I just finished reading my first romance novel, and I think it's done more good for me than I thought possible. It was cheesy, dumb, and fun while also feeling raw and authentic. I feel like I have a new perspective on life. I think men should read at least one romance novel in their life.

Do straights scale better than flushes in #Balatro? They feel so much harder to play around than flushes yet flushes have a higher base payout.

I need some good audio #book recommendations. Nonfiction is preferable (might as well learn something while I have these long micro plating sessions) but not necessary. And yes, I've already placed Ta-Nehisi Coates' "The Message" on hold already through Libby 😅

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.
A Place of Joy.

Everyone always says that grad students make very little, but no one prepared me for what the reality would be ($18k for 9 months?!?!) 🫠
Guess I gotta learn how to hustle again 😅

I suppose an introduction is in order.
My name is Isaac. I pretty much post about video games (Destiny 2 mostly), politics, and science. I love Life! In particular, arachnids hold a special place in my heart but honey bees are also cool. I'm working on getting into grad school, so stay tuned!
