Just a person, working to find real news on science, weather, health, politics, tech and anything else that catches my interest. Trying to find sanity in an insane world. And a lot of cat photos.

It’s weird being a radical leftist. I’ve never been a radical anything. I may, in fact, be the world’s most boring cat lady. Deep thoughts today. Here’s a cat photo.

I am trying not to post on these events in this state of mind but: I hope people understand what the observers are doing is brave and dangerous.

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003
when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out

I think this might be why we have more mass shootings than anyone in the world. (The "red" isn't visible on the left chart because at 0.1% it is literally too small to display.)
23% of the privately owned guns in the entire world are owned by 0.1% of it.

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university.

If you are looking for ways to help your community, it is a good time to donate to your local food bank if you can.
My understanding from those who do this work is that $$ is the most effective donation at the moment, since food banks have existing relationships that can stretch your donation.

Obviously this is unconscionable, but I think it’s worth always stressing that even it they’d been drug traffickers, it would ALSO be unconscionable. We don’t summarily execute criminals
Sounds like America may have committed a serious war crime that VP Vance laughed about, joking about “not going finishing.” This is why we do not permit extrajudicial executions by the United States military against civilians— not in peacetime, not in war, not ever.

I find I can’t muster a proper response to either the Tylenol madness or the U.N. appearance. At some point it is just too ridiculous. It would feel insane to offer sane commentary.
