This account will contain a mix of "furry", gardening/plants, and science content, spiced with politics.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News.

NEW: Elon Musk's Grok chatbot will, with minimal prompting, provide residential addresses of everyday Americans.

Prompts as simple as "[name] address" immediately returned accurate home addresses of private citizens — alongside other personal info we didn't ask for.

To bring a smile to your face, here’s an ancient Egyptian sketch of a tabby cat serving a mouse! 😁

The artist used a flake of limestone as a sketchpad to draw this comic scene some 3,200 years ago.

ATTN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES: The VA sent out an announcement with a link for employees to self-report their disabilities. I wouldn’t do this if I were you. They’ll likely use it to discriminate against you.

Thinking back to when I was a TA (c. 2004) and gave a student a 4/100 on a report that consisted of a few hand written sentences & a xeroxed pic of yeast cells taped to a gridded piece of paper ripped from their lab notebook.

It was supposed to typed.

Hey, you expected a grade, I gave you one
Everyone saying ”giving that essay a zero was probably too harsh, I would have given it like a 70% to avoid conflict” are perfectly demonstrating how the us education system has been successfully dismantled.

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

Dear Universe:
How difficult would it be for you to send someone my way that knows how to play Cribbage? I’m not even that great at it, it’s just fun and literally no one I know knows how to play and trying to teach it is, well, let’s say a challenge.

The Coelogyne (flaccida x intermedia) I bought at a plant sale last February has come into bloom!

Had an issue with the bud covers. They didn't want to peel back naturally, so the opening flowers were squashed against stem. Pulled them back and the flowers opened fully.
