Marjorie Taylor Greene wants to release the Epstein files solely because she thinks it will hurt Democrats. She will gladly kill Jews thinking that will bring Jesus Christ back to worship her.

important reminder that, while we appreciate her sticking a knife in Trump at this present moment, Marjorie Taylor Greene is a committed antisemite and is not and will never be your friend

It's really not a surprise. I've spent the last 5 years explaining to researchers why samples collected over 2 consecutive EU projects and extracted using wildly different protocols are in no way comparable.

Too many labs think omics-related research is "just sequencing innit".

Since Republicans, Democrats, lobbyists, and the Pedophile in the White House decided to poison us, they can be first in line to eat said poison.
Congress’s shutdown deal eliminated key food safety rules, blocking agencies from enforcing measures to prevent contamination and trace outbreaks. This rollback has coincided with a surge in hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses.

Yikes. Banning people for activities such as co-authorship and advising a graduate student is completely unreasonable in a modern research environment. And a retroactive 5 year ban is wildly unfair.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion, but...

The Maquis was one of thr best things that came from Berman-era Trek. And it was squandered by placing them on Voyager. DS9 was right there, and could have made them a more intregal storyline that ended the way it was written in DS9.
What's your unpopular Star Trek opinion

Part of why 90's Star Trek got better post-Roddenbury is because it continued to be secular and focused on IDIC but stopped being anti-theistic. (Though the show wasn't nearly as anti-theistic as people made it out to be, including 'Who Watches the Watchers')
🌌 What’s your unpopular Star Trek opinion? 🌌

Everything Section 31 outside of its DS9 episodes is horrible and undermines the entire point of Star Trek.

At its core its fancy Fascist Apologia.

It's edge lord garbage. Its like trying to shoehorn Grim-Dark into Star Trek.

Because of my stupidity, I may have lost 1 of 2 remaining pictures I had from Yellowstone Park. The other pictures were trashed by my family because they are incapable of talking to me like adults.

And there's a possibility this picture was lost because they tossed it too.

I seldom make posts with this urgency, but if you have anything spare I'd kindly request you consider helping my friend Scott.

He's been working tirelessly to help both his and his family's situation, and needs support to help alleviate the stress.

If you're able, I would be extremely grateful.

Every lobbyist, poliyician, lawyer, judge, and the pedophile in the White House better get ready to have the contaminated food shoved down their throats. Because that's the only way they'll learn.

The pedophile in the White House spent the last couple weeks starving kids, and even argued in court he could do that.
Difficult to articulate how repulsive this is coming from a political party dedicated to abusing children in every way. Not only does every word reek of Christian nationalism, but the entire onus of national child abuse is placed on trans people. Fucking awful.
