PhD in molecular biology, so I actually know something about DNA
everything else I say is suspect, except for 1960s hippy trivia.
Really dislike cats and anime and most electronic art
But really dislike cats.
Have a real thing about data graphics or charts

I'm sure you know me in the sense that
"ah, one of those mansplaining guys who doesn't know squat but thinks he is an expert on everything"
but it is true, it is a stone cold fact, that complaining about taxes, rather then wages, is straight out of the right wing playbook

my PhD program's genetics course instructor was a woman who was a friend of McClintock
instructor: I put some of her papers on reserve at the library (yeah, i'm that old) but they are not required reading
Barb wrote papers for those already expert in her field

65% of Veterans voted for Trump, per exit polls
This is what they voted for
65% of Veterans are fascist, yet if the Dems return to power they will fall over themselves pandering to veterans, competing to offer more welfare (benefits)

This is something that people actually said in the 1960s
Like a real quote
" A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested, and and person who is for law and order* is a liberal who has been mugged"
*at the time, "law and order" was how pro police voters were described

maybe 5 years ago, when we were all on twitter, I thought we all agreed to boycott spotify over the J Rogan thing and I am always amazed that on mastodon and bsky no one seems to have gotten the message ?

One thing I have learned in my 70 odd years is that most people don't care about the poor, so this is a really shitty message cause you are omitting that the middle class - something like 50% of the country - gets a tiny increase from the GOP budget

Most voters think experience is important
you may agree or disagree with that view
But clearly Cuomo and his stooges think it an effective strategy

I would like a biologist who studies turtles, someone who is an actual expert in turtle behaviour, to confirm that what we all think is going on here is actually what is going on here
it is possible that what is going on is totally completely different from what we think

If the Trump people do something wrong, it doesn't mean we can do wrong too
Exprerience is a relevant thing; we should not lower ourselves just cause the Trump people do

the opposite
the engineers and PhDs I work with are smart hardworking people who have to deliver a product on time, to spec, and under budget
they are using ChatGPT cause it frees up their brain for other stuff
I woiuld imagine that if this were the 1980s, you would be saying you are one of those

I had this very wierd thing on twitter
I liked tweets about higher math that were totally incomprehensible to me
I can't find that sort of thing here, so debates about regression will have to do

Lets say the parade cost, round numbers, 50 million
that is a tiny tiny tiny fraction of the US budget
so why is it that you, McSweeney's are acting like idiots who flunked 5th grade math ?

OTOH, I truly believe people like JoJo
are a detriment to the anti Trump cause; I know this is a heterodox opinion
PS; don't know if this is better or worse, but my dislike of JoJo dates back at least 5 years, to twitter time

The engineers and PhDs I work with routinely use ChatGPT in their daily work
Indeed, I believe that if not today, then soon, engineers and PhDs who don't use ChatGPT will be unemployed
