Last week I was interviewed for a position at a non-US-based company leading a global team. The interviewer asked how, as an American, I could take a global perspective. A year ago, I would have been insulted by that question. I was instead ashamed … and then angry - but not at the interviewer.

TIL mice give each other first aid when one is unconscious (including pulling out their tongue to clear the airway) and why is nature so awesome in ways we are only learning? (Next I want them to collaborate with the mice driving ppl to give these mice little ambulances)

Other segmental writing systems with names like this include bopomofo (an alphabet for Chinese), abjad (consonants only like Arabic) and abugida (consonants with diacritics to indicate vowels). Each is named for the first few letters in the writing system.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Quick question for my friends out there who actually use tools. If I took an actual working chainsaw and raised it upside down over my head wouldn't it dribble a gasoline/oil mixture all over my head? I am looking at you guys in particular: @glengrambo.bsky.social and @rebeccagrambo.bsky.social

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

Thousands of federal workers performing essential functions—from food safety to forestry and fire management to nuclear safeguards—have been illegally fired. The Department of Justice has abandoned more than 150 years of independence. The president has claimed that he is a king. It is day 31.

Putting a face to what you read in the news. Until last Friday, I served our nation working as a Research Ecologist with the US Geological Survey (USGS). As a federal scientist, I provided robust, defensible information to support good decisions in natural resource management.

I don't think that there should be any more questions about where Trump wants this farce to go.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

It is so disgusting to listen to reports of Marco Ribbentrop agreeing with the Russians to divide up a European country (just the one, for now) in return for mineral rights.
