It would be fantastic if I would stop procrastinating on things I actually enjoy. I hate ADHD, man.

This is not just a musing from a dude with some various ideas. The next step is to hollow out the judiciary and also not follow their rulings, which have been against Musk’s efforts. This is a very obvious coup, for those not paying attention.

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is on tonight. The classic tale of when people treat you like shit until they find out you can do something for them. 🦌🦌🦌
