Wow. I approve of this post. Absolutely love him. He is such a kind person.

Welcome to bluesky. I hope you enjoy it here. I could not stand twitter even though it was the place to be for science. However, here, I get to enjoy and share my own science.

It was late when I realized it was Alda's birthday, so I didn't get a chance to make an updated version of the meme. Also, many people may not realize that Alda was also a veteran. You can see a more complete (and heartfelt) version of the quote below.
