I’m quite the bleeding heart lefty. I like science. Umm, I loathe the LNP & am often disappointed by Labor.
I left the Twattersphere because I like discussion not argument.

Oh, I own a sailing boat, which is why I teeter on the razor’s edge of bankruptcy

I assume Trump plans to declare war against Venezuela tonight.

All this to hide from the Epstein Files, and to expand his business interests in another country to gain access to oil.

It's not about the drug cartels.

Ronald Reagan, a cold man who ignored the AIDS crisis because he was a homophobe and craved the votes of other homophobes, is *not* a reminder of anything good or decent.

As I understand today's discussion, we can stop an ISIS cell by policing the speaker list at writer's festivals and the BA syllabus at Unis. And by "stopping demonstrations." This is madness.

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇
