Wood, bio prof. (I represent my own opinions, no other entity.) "Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -DDE
Saw some ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora) in Superior National Forest today. It is a parasitic plant with no chlorophyll and no photosynthesis since it steals all its nutrients from its host. #KeepPublicLandsInPublicHands
I don't think we should take advice on forest mamagement from a snotty rich kid who has never been in a forest except on a paved cart path. #RaketheForest
Christians should be banned from playing sports. Jesus provides them with additional strength, which gives them unfair advantage.
Imagine thinking so little of your constituency that you just put papers down and say, "These say X," knowing they'll believe. Then imagine thinking so much of your representatives that you never look at the papers for yourself. At this point, am I referring to religion or MAGA? Both can be true.
I am old, but I am not as old as people referring to my age as "years young" yet.
It is funny (not 'ha ha') that the same people saying climate change isn't real because of geologic time scales and relative sampling are the same ones saying we are not going through a mass extinction right now because things are still alive. Bitch, not every mass extinction is an asteroid.
A fishbone in the sky the other day. For the quality engineers our there, I will translate: it looks like an Ishakawa diagram.
Why would anyone want a passport with an image of a guy filling his diaper? How weak and small of an individual he is.

I had a buddy who 'trained' away a lazy-eye when he was a kid. But, after a couple beers it would come right back. Just sayin'.
The Democrats on the "oversight" committee interrogating Dr. Fauci should have asked questions like: "When do you think the Epstein files will be released?" "Did anyone share a plan to end the Iran war with you? We haven't seen one." "In your medical opinion, who is the most fit president?"
I've been a Willie fan my whole life. Everytime I see his face in a linked article, I get a jolt of fear. Fortunately, this article was Willie being Willie.

It is as if someone in the room said, "I just watched Office Space. It worked for them. We should steal a scam from a movie. Nobody will ever know."
Ken Tremendous@kentremendous.bsky.social · last wk.Had Bari Weiss been hired by CBS-Paramount to secretly run a "Producers" scam and destroy all of "60 Minutes"'s value as quickly as possible it's difficult to imagine what should would've done differently.
Has anyone seen anyone driving a Cybertruck carrying around a living family of their own? I am sure it happens, but the law of infinite probability also says I will open the clothes dryer and all the clothes will be neatly folded inside.
Definitely makes one question these dudes' 'manospheres'... 'Who can yell over the other the loudest' is how they think debates are won... just ask the dogs and cats.
Jon Cooper@joncooper-us.bsky.social · last wk.This meme is actually based on a real scientific finding. Researchers studying howler monkeys found that males with larger vocal organs producing deeper, more powerful calls tended to have smaller testes, while species with larger testes tended to have less-developed vocal organs. So, there ya go.
36 years after the Americans with Disability Act was signed into law, our fight isn’t over. However long it takes, we’ll keep pushing until all 70 million Americans with disabilities have the dignity, independence and freedom they deserve.
Tom Homan looks like a wizard saw a big toe with an abundance of toenail fungas and turned it into a version of a whole person -- minus empathy, rationality, and verbal enunciation, of course.
I used to joke with my kids that, should I dien to tell nobody just to see how long I could still get a paycheck. With McConnell, they now have precedence by which they can judge the potential consequences. FFS. Who knew some politician would try it?
After some digitally deleterious work outside the last few days, I am starting to see how precise my pinkie is at typing on my phone compared to my, what I can assume is perpetually drunk, thumb. (Any typo in this is because of how dirty my cheaters are.) #masonry
The American president and the dumbest motherfucker on Earth should be two different people.
Even more, the Regime is hurting hard working Americans because of their neighbor's political views. They want you to hate your neighbor so you can help quash the resistance as they move toward that.
