I want to understand…everything.
And I make stuff.

“Day one”
“One phone call”
“We’ll make a deal”
…you know what? It’s almost like he was completely full of 💩.
Almost exactly like that.

As opposed to say, Liberty University? Texas Christian? BYU?
Those and a dozen more are defined by ideological capture.

“Thank you for your attention to this matter” is 2025’s “man, woman, person, camera, TV”.

How many drug addicts make it to 93?

“We all make mistakes…”
Except this was NOT a mistake. This is what trump voters WANTED.
For every “oops” voter there are a dozen wanting to double-down on the cruelty.
They LIKE the ICE raids. The rampant corruption. They want more of it, not less.

Remember “little black books”?
To record the name and phone number of the girls you were chasing?
I ended up with my dad’s, with my mom’s maiden name underlined.
I know how that one ended, but I still wish I’d heard the stories tied to some of the other names.

There was a take out sandwich joint out in the middle of the orange groves that surrounded my town.
They had a hot pastrami sando that my pops had to have about once a month.
Amazing the things you remember .

Candy bars were a nickel or a dime for the best ones, and penny candy was pretty decent.
Saw a standard candy bar for $1.25 yesterday.
Have to recalibrate again.

Yes, that was a game changer. An absolute power move that changed the course of the country for the next half century.
It also made us understand that the guard rails were illusory.
All we needed was one corrupt individual to leverage that.
And now we have a whole administration full of them.

Look, science is an international venture, and American scientists have always had options to set up elsewhere.
But the American scientific infrastructure and support level was impossible to beat, so most stayed home and many of the best foreign minds immigrated here.
Past tense, unfortunately.

The sad reality is this is a good thing. All he would do would be get in the way, gum up the works and insists that trump be credited with everything.
He is sufficiently incompetent that him staying home actually opens avenues for progress.

Militia members and “deputized” civilians.
This insanity that they’d be targeted for terrorism if they show their faces is just another insult.
They might as well just yell “neener, neener” as they go about it.

“Gold standard“ is a phrase that has specific meaning in science.
To co-opt that phrase to mean science with a predefined “right”answer is downright obscene.

It is delicious that the drone operation was in full development while Trump is lecturing them about the weakness of their position.
comment in response to
post
It’s unreal. The particulars of this operation sound like the opening montage to a James Bond movie.
All that is left is for Zelensky to parachute from a drone into the arms of his Ukraine babe wife.
Tough, strong, and smart. I want Ukraine as an ally.

Standard butcher block treatment. Basically it’s a mix of mineral oil and beeswax.

Quick note to Pete Hegseth, this is what “good on Op Sec“ looks like.
Not sharing battle plans with your wife’s hairdresser on an unsecured chat.

Pretty sure they’re going to recommend shoving a toy car up your rectum as a new treatment for diabetes…

Hand checking was allowed, “palming” the ball and traveling were still violations, not glorified.
Game was definitely different, but no doubt those dudes could play.

Except the pilot has bailed out of half a dozen other planes and left the passengers to ride them into the ground.

Ironically, errors like this occurring in a submitted scientific manuscript would be enough to reject it out of hand.
It would never make it past reviewers.

It’s hard because you’re in so far over your head. You don’t know what the hell you’re doing.

“Suspected”
And how does someone hire a lawyer to prove their innocence with a frozen bank account?
And how many years and layers of red tape will it be to get their money back?

Lucky for him he qualified for the express pardon lane. Eleven felonies or less.

I worked with a number of tribes in the PNW over the last decade and was always startled by the reverence with which they treated their elders.
It’s shockingly different.
Our elderly are considered annoyances. Burners of tax dollars and resources.
Tucked out of sight, only good for the inheritance.

Disagree.
This is a general audience targeted article which includes hyperlinks that lead you to the peer-reviewed published research.
“Speculation” like this leads to hypothesis testing.

And when that John Williams theme hit with the opening scroll of text receding and into the star field, I got goosebumps and I still do when I think about it.

I know a geologist who lost a grant studying gases in inclusions in lava (those would be gas bubbles trapped when the lava cooled).
Why?
Because inclusion is now a dirty word.
The level of incompetence is simply staggering.

It was funny at first.
Now it’s just tragic.

It took folks from Australia, (Murdoch) and South Africa (Musk) to demonstrate just how vulnerable the first amendment makes America. Both of those nations have laws on the books to prevent misinformation.
They leveraged the reality that there is no penalty for lying in America.
And here we are.

Which of course is complete bullshit. International students are a huge part of many universities financial situation. They pay through the nose for the same education that American students get. Effectively, they replaced state subsidies at a lot of public institutions.

They left out the “white” part.
The white house explores ways to encourage “white women” to have more children.
It’s all about the demographic slide.
Chase fecund brown folks out, and try to fill the labor gaps with blacks and child workers.

Those are the sister planets Acup and Double-D.
Legend has it these planets were once the same size until Double-D absorbed a tremendous impact from a silicone-rich asteroid designated C6H1206–daddy, but the truth has been lost to the sands of time…

These are some of America’s best and brightest. This is an important ceremony. They busted their asses to both get here, and to graduate.
They had to be looking at one another thinking “WTF?“

Apparently, American children only have a small window of opportunity to build iPhones before their digits grow to ridiculous size.
Thank God, we’re getting rid of public schools that occupy so much of their potential workday.
