This is Tuffy. He is the only example of taking up the whole sidewalk that is not only justifiable, but encouraged. 14/10 (IG: mypittuffy)

@ologies.bsky.social found this cool video about a nerdy plant guy with access to a really cool plant collection in LA. Highly recommend the video but also…study of rare plants episode perhaps…? 🙏

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

@goberthicks.bsky.social Hey, could we get a little video or photo with description sometime of how you organize your library card catalog of magic cards? I have one but haven’t yet figured out the tips/tricks/organizational strategy for it for storing MTG cards in it.

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

@ologies.bsky.social Hey! Just learned about Hippos! They’re amazing. I heard the question and talk of the term “Beachmaster” and I wanted to let you know it’s also used (and maybe originally used) to talk about alpha bull elephant seals. If you ever want to do an episode on them, lmk.

Now that there's another batch of Magic: The Gathering shows/movie in the works, it's time for me to reiterate that I am happy to consult on the project and/or provide voices and mo-cap for goblins.

The goblin part is free.

I really wish people would understand that you're not just voting for the individual president. You're voting for all the people they are going to put in charge of every facet of the US government, all the advisers whispering in their ear, all the judges they are going to appoint (many for life).

Shoutout @hobbesq.bsky.social thanks for code 🙏 currently my feed is 90% @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com talking about fountain pens and I’m not upset about it.

USPS is doing free covid test kits again if anyone in the USA wants to get in on that.
