The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich.
THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no.

Our cat has a bad upper respiratory infection. Indoor cat, no other pets. Spouse and I both had upper respiratory infections that lasted a month, just now recovered. Vet is skeptical, says human-cat transmission is unlikely. Really? Virus folks?

So…a student is taking pictures of the final exam with their phone. Is this step one of chatGPT telling them the answers? Or are they just memorializing my incredible work as an exam-writer?

It’s win-win. Do it.
🧪Dear Grad student,
Are you overdue for a thesis committee meeting but feel like you have nothing to show since your last meeting? I'm begging you to schedule that meeting now!

Cool owl fact I learned this week: for many species, their feathers contain porphyrin, which glows under UV light. The porphyrin fades over time, so the amount and pattern of glow can help determine their age. Also the glow is brightest in places on the owl where the sun don't shine.

On my drive home last night, after dark, I saw a fox that had stolen a child's stuffed animal. At least that's how my brain tried to make sense of the little fox kit it was carrying in its mouth.
