I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

With the arrival of spring, millions of birds have begun returning to their breeding grounds in North America. Last year we spoke with a migration ecologist about how different bird species appear to form social networks during migration, possibly boosting each other’s chances of survival.

Talking to a friend today made me realize how much of my academic career has been spent recovering from auras, seizures, and their consequences, and how much that slowed me down. And how academia as a system is designed to make you feel really ashamed of delays in and/or slow work.

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

This is not how I ever want it to play out, but it does reinforce my theory that the best way to make a fairly significant number of Americans turn to normalcy is to have them actually experience what they are asking for, this nation has way too many people way too deep in main character syndrome

When Musk’s role in govt or in FAA oversight was under consideration, perhaps it was fair to say “raising concerns about conflicts.” When he announced SpaceX would redesign the ATC system, that was at least a clear conflict. Now they’re buying SpaceX products to do it, it is just plain corruption.

I know this tweet is absurd but the Intel community is currently having all of its trans and queer staff purged. So while this tweet seems so insane, it is still being utilized to eradicate trans people while keeping liberals from seeing what's happening.

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.
