If anyone in the WNY region is looking to adopt a cat, I just took in this tiny girl from the storm and would love to find her a home. I just don't have the space for her myself or else I'd just keep her.

I wore a purple polo and tan slacks to work today and the first thing my director said to me was "Did you get a second job at Planet Fitness or something?"

Never did I think I'd live to see a worse president than Bush and we've gotten that fucker twice
Bush was a terrible president. But he could successfully complete a college application. He’d be an at-least replacement level regional business manager. I’d let him babysit my kids for an evening, in a pinch. If I insured his car I’d be at least mostly confident he wouldn’t try to defraud me.
I can't get over how we've somehow managed to memory-hole the entire fucking 8-year Bush presidency.

I used to live right around the corner from this Lebanese bodega and nine years later I still think about how awesome it was just Have A Place Right There
I think this is the first time I've lived walking distance from a grocery store and I'm out of my mind about it. I'll walk there several times a day. Oh did I forget to grab something? No big deal I'll simply Walk To The Store

NEW: The Trump administration’s lack of transparency about tariff exemptions has experts concerned that some firms might be winning narrow carve-outs behind closed doors.
“It could be corruption, but it could just as easily be incompetence,” one lobbyist said.

My cat has discovered that she enjoys sitting directly in front of our heating vents and listening to the echo of her own meows. This has the added effect of making every other room in my house sound likes it's haunted by a feline ghost.

Good, though the headline should read that Donald Trump doesn't have the authority to bar trans athletes in Maine.
School officials in Maine say they will not comply with a proposed agreement from President Trump’s administration that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports.
Maine officials won’t comply with the Trump administration's trans athlete ban
The administration said earlier this month that the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association and a high school are each in violation of Title IX because of the participation of trans athletes.

Who's got two thumbs and, since he just got hired two months ago, is still a provisional employee at a cancer research center that heavily depends on grants? 👍 This guy... 👍
Great.
Great.
1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.

The current controversies reveal weaknesses in the clarity of our Community Guidelines and failures in our communications. This has led to understandable confusion about how we interpret our guidelines. We need to be more transparent – without revealing to bad actors how to circumvent our systems.

There was a startup back in the early 2010s I think that was trying to make a modular cell phone where you could snap in different components depending on your needs(bigger battery, different lens, gaming chipset etc) and the world would be better if they succeeded.
We're cleaning out a storage space that hasn't been touched in years and discovered a relic
That's right, kids: you used to be able to repair mobile phones yourself!
