I'd put Team Rocket in the Whitehouse over the two we have now. But Rocky and Bullwinkle would be better. Any of those four have more basic courtesy.

Reasons I need to be able to use "female" and "reproduction" in my research: my office is full of fish eggs.

My least favorite thing is when people write out a number and then use the number in the parentheses.

Example:

As per my last four (4) emails.

I saw this a lot in the 90s, then it went away, now it's back. Why?!

Every time I look at the news I start singing
"We're in a hostile government takeover"
So shout out to that creator for being the theme song of 2025

The way men on the internet comment personal insults on opinions they don't like and act like they won some type of debate that wasn't happening.

I am no longer accepting the argument "there are bigger problems than this!" unless you are personally working to stop the ultimate Heat Death of the Universe.

If you have a scientist in your life maybe check in on them. We're all struggling a bit more than usual right now

Anyone got tips for dealing with horrendous people in comments? One of my threads posts got a bit popular and has brought out certain people.

I've been doing the Scalzi block and move on, but holy hell there's a lot of them and they are not nice.

I don't wanna go dark but...

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

Things I am mad about today. Strike on the box matches that don't light because the striker strip wears out. Safeway Digital Deals that don't work when I get to the cashier. And Nazis. I am mad about Nazis today.

I can’t stop thinking about the Washington Post changing its “democracy dies in darkness” mission statement.

Successfully prodded my baby bro enough to get him to make some videos and social media accounts for his blacksmithing.

No account to share yet, but I do have two of his most recent projects

About three hours ago I fed my sourdough starter that had been in the fridge unfed for 2 weeks. She's a baby and I was worried I'd killed her. But! I have bubbles! She's alive!

The other night I decided to pick up a middle grade book as a mental break in the middle of grimdark fantasies and what a good choice it was. I'm reading a few pages each night now after the Poppy War

Thank you Wild Robot for being so fun
