No one can smoke in public spaces. We used to be told to bury used motor oil. Old cars used to line river banks. LGBTQ+ folks have been able to become part of normal life (with ongoing struggles, yes). Solar and wind power are used heavily. EVs and more bikes in more places.

Mark Histed@markhisted.org · 19h agoIn 2024 before the election, I was talking to a former senior HHS/NIH official. They said they weren’t *that* worried about a second Trump admin (wrong in retrospect), but said (paraphrase): “If they clean out and replace the Institute directors, well, THAT will be a disaster.” That’s 👇👇 this. 🧵

Yes it's hot and dry for the next few days, but relief is on the way. Next week looks active. Does that mean your house will receive non-stop drenching rain? No. Does that mean rain/storm chances will be higher than usual next week? Likely yes. #COwx

Bragging about missing the message of a movie for seven-year-olds
Imagine working on a cure for malaria and accidentally inventing the first synthetic dye, a new color, and kick-starting a whole textile industry, all at the age of 18.
c0nc0rdance@c0nc0rdance.bsky.social · 6mo agoLet's talk about the time that an 18 YEAR OLD invented the COLOR MAUVE (I am not kidding) and completely revolutionized textiles, fashion & eventually cancer diagnosis. The teenager was William Henry Perkin, a bit of a prodigy, who at 15 began studying with August Wilhelm von Hofmann at ICL.
As chicken numbers have risen globally, so have the fortunes of the bacterial pathogen Campylobacter jejuni, which infects chickens and other birds. The bacteria are more prevalent, more mobile, and more genetically diverse than in 1960. In PNAS: https://ow.ly/Gaqo50Zwbn4

Last week, while walking my daughter home from camp in her stroller, a car with Virginia plates and $8000 in NY traffic fines blew threw a red light and honked at us to get out of the way while we crossed the street. Maybe start there instead of some dramatized Citi Bike nonsense.
