NOAA enters the chat. And NIH.

I’m social sciences, and absolutely we get dragged and it’s frustrating and insulting. We need more robust defenders, yes, and it’s up to us to develop them.

But the absolute hostility to sciences research is terrifying.

You’d think more people would have noticed by now that so many men dole class things someone enjoyed (Instant Pot, corningware, red lobster) have been destroyed by people with business degrees.

Sometimes we miss great spots in our back yards because they’re “touristy”, and that’s kind of sad!

Third person: It’s a tourist trap!
My ex: What am I, a local?
Third person: …..

The next day, he’d inevitably rave about something at the “tourist trap”. Not a great person to live with, but a great travel companion.

Congratulations! Now you can direct mortgage payment money into art supplies, or another fun use.

I mean, to some degree that’s true of any organized protest; people plan to stop doing The Thing. But farmers and truckers are some of the least likely that I know of to do that. They know how narrow their get-shit-done margins are.

Those tractor tires don’t look like they’ve seen much field, either.

Those tractors look pretty damn clean for something supposed to do field work. Are any of the drivers actually farmers, or are they all managers/land owners? Check the hands - smooth or rough.

This is unbearably awful; pertussis in babies & toddlers is an absolute HORROR to see or hear. Those poor babes.

A little crying, and also laughing at "when they estimated your survival odds, i think they made some optimistic assumptions about your hobbies"

If it’s not a vaccine or food colouring, he doesn’t really care. Or understand, probably. A forever chemical would help preserve people, right? Everyone could look like old leather?

So, why isn’t Mr Vaccines & Processed Foods Bad screaming about this?

Narrator: everyone knew why.

I’m thinking volcanoes are self-cleaning.

Can I vote for a mountain that might occasionally…y’know…explode?
