There are 3 types of people since Oct 7th. Those who condemn only the killing of Israeli kids. Those who condemn only the killing of Palestinian kids. And those of us who condemn the killing of both. Don’t be in the first 2 groups - the 1st one dominates our politics & media.

Sauna thought: Nothing or noone has ever stopped bad things from happening except good people who were willing to do what was necessary. Things don't get better unless we make it happen.

The exact genes in countless generations of ancestors across all of evolution, atoms and molecules combining making self-replicating enzymes to create life, ect. Yet the infinite nature of the universe makes the chances of you inevitable. 🧪

Anyone who has spent a single minute quibbling over that comma in the 2nd Amendment or textualism that isn't openly condemning and protesting the blatant unconstitutionality of what's going on is someone who deserves no credibility

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

I pointed out something similar a few weeks ago, but beyond just mocking the media for their stupid complicity here, these articles should be a direct refutation of the admin's claims that "The American People Voted For This." Because they literally promised they weren't going to do this.

As a 'quad-demic' rages & we have the highest wastewater readings for Influenza, RSV, & Norovirus in the last 2 years, I would like to revisit the attempt to tell people that increased infection rates were due to 'Immunity Debt'. The evidence never supported it. lilscience.substack.com/cp/155699252

I was recently suspended from a local classifieds page simply for advocating against #rawmilk consumption. As a former dairy farmer and current biochemist/microbiologist, I will not let an opportunity go to inform people of the lack of benefits and increased risks of consuming raw dairy. #science

Dear Energy drink I had at 2 pm, I wanted you to kick in to help me through my mid-afternoon slump from 4 to 6. You kicked in at 11 pm as I tried to go to bed. Not cool.

Spending a month on Bluesky has created a whole new model of a fight we need to be having right now. Not liberal vs. conservative or whatever, but respect vs manipulation. I am tired of being manipulated everywhere I go. That’s why I like it here, I feel like I’m in charge for once.

Got to the gym and realized I forgot my headphones. I almost just got back in my car and went home. Luckily the hate that flows through me when I hear "Shut up and Dance" by Walk the Moon fueled a decent workout. #gymfail
