Here we are. Let's see what happens now...

Me, trying to keep track of the executive orders, court injunctions, appeals, enforcements, reinstatements, internal policies, positions, communications...

If only there was a way to prevent such things. Oh wait, we've known how to SAFELY AND SUCCESSFULL prevent measles for over 60 years! Also it's free to all children (at least in most places). www.who.int/news-room/sp...

I feel like I'm going to be sick

Watching powerless from Europe how democracy is crumbling in the US, reminds me of those movies where someone is mind-controlled by an alien or ghost. I want to yell: "America, we know you are still in there. If you can hear us, you must fight. YOU CAN DO IT. FIGHT THIS!"

Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him - Don't Believe Him -

I need some sheetcakes in my house right now. 🍴🍰🍰

I am pleased to report that my 16 y/o is learning unexpectedly practical things in school. I was unpleased to know how practical this was: "Did you know that we are living in a dystopian society right now?" "Well, shit."

I'm doing my best....

I feel personally attacked by this headline

If Sir Toppemhat would just leave that poor groundhog alone, would we even bother to remember this odd ritual? The best thing about this holiday is - by far - the movie.

Costco's DEI programs face new scrutiny from 19 Republican attorneys general. In other news, I just renewed my membership to Costco. 📃 attached.

Nothing good will come of this.

Thou shalt accept that DEI didn't hold your career back -- you're just mid, bro.

I wish the Hippocratic Oath would sit in on the Congressional hearing. Excellent list in the attached thread...

My first post on Bluesky. #READI (Research in Europe and Diversity Inclusion) has launched. 🎉 It was surreal as I had written the initial proposal 3 years ago. We wanted to drive systemic change as a collective focused on making it better for all trial participants. We see it becoming a reality.

Whoa

I ask a lot of questions. I need to pay more attention to the reactions to my questions...🤔

I find it interesting that the kindest, most peaceful people, those who keep to themselves and genuinely wish others well, are quickly labeled as crazy once they’re pushed to their breaking point. And yet, no one stops to acknowledge what drove them to that place.

Honest. Decent. Principled. A Lifetime of Selfless Service. #ThankYouJimmyCarter 🙏

Notable disparity with indigenous (#AIAN) and Pacific islander (#NHOPI) populations (vs census, at least). One way or the other, this is concerning.

I find this a bit... depressing

If you, as <privileged class> are happy to receive the same treatment as <unprivileged class> citizens in this society, please stand up. youtube.com/shorts/rCKL7... 🦗

"Oh well."

I take no credit for this. Blame my kids...

I guess I'm old. Today I said "kinda like 'the phone always rings when you're in the shower' right?" That phrase has expired...

I was just DMing with someone who didn't have a bsky domain verification (but I actually know them) - and all of a sudden I was worried the account was fake. Got me thinking that it would be really cool if there was Linkedin <> Bluesky identity cross-validation... @jay.bsky.team

This video 😳💯... #Skyline #GT-R #R32 youtu.be/soWfgUZoE_8?...

And we’ll be there to say: “We told you so”

Who did it better? My #TripodCat Ladybug or... Jabba the Hutt?

Fun fact: Cyber Monday is when the Holiday Narwhal picks up his CyberTrucks 📐 📐 Then, on Narwhal Day (Christmas Eve Eve), if you've been weird enough, he replaces your favorite car with a CyberTruck. If you listen really carefully, you might even hear him scream "No Backsies!!" as he flies away.
