As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance.

In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites."

CNN has been incredible about amplifying @wired.com reporting all week - I’m very grateful. Also grateful for the opportunity to say “Big Balls” and “Tesla Dot Sexy” on live TV.
