By far the best correlation since pirates and global average temperatures.

This is from 2012. You make it sound like everyone has gone back to the area around it. They have not. It is like Chernobyl, which cause all sorts of weird shit across Europe as well (think Hentai porn consumption in Sweden).

Muppet backup dancers for Shakira would fix us.

Ok, what the muppets?

I got to know Lindsey Graham during our years working together to pass the Incinerate Children on Other Continents for Profit Act. He was a good man.

Now, now, I'm sure all the Ivy league schools don't have toxic, cult-like groups of well-connected young men doing coke, sexual assault, and pushing white replacement theory. That would be crazy...

Yet again, USA: Require that Congress ensure that the executive branch operate as it has ordered. Instead of anything like this. And remove the Trump appointees who keep trying to steal everything they can. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

NSF plans cuts to core science programmes to fund White House initiative

A proposed clawback of already distributed research funds comes as the US agency’s budget is already squeezed and it struggling to clear a backlog of grant applications.

So bottom line: if you drink water from a treatment facility built in last 50 years, if you drive on roads or bridges that need repair, if you live in a flood zone, getting any Fed grant to support this stuff will now depend on your officials’ fealty to the crown.

When suggested as a response to airborne illnesses the recommendation to “wash your hands” is often seen as insufficient, but cyclospora is not an airborne illness, so in this case please: wash your hands, and wash your produce, and then wash your hands again.

It fucking well will not. The "AI assistance" is basically human bias concentrate.

Eos@eos.org · 2mo ago

AI assistance will reduce researcher bias, allow for more efficient use of expensive equipment, create more reproducible research and "bang for the buck" with research investments, and help the U.S. rise in research rankings, she said.

It’s crazy. I’m forced to understand “conservative climate solutions”, and we could probably do some less terrible stuff for bad reasons and go on fox about it.

Norm Charlatan@normcharlatan.bsky.social · 2mo ago

I am curious about the effect that almost everyone I know, even people who are doing relatively well, thinks they would be more successful economically if they sacrificed their ethical principles and just became a grifter of some sort.

Pregnancy has tried to kill me twice. I was lucky enough to be able to deliver viable babies, but delivery is the only treatment. I’d feel awful for this woman, but she literally voted for this. She didn’t think it could happen to her. Abortion is healthcare, and women die without it.

1/ At 17 weeks pregnant, Emily Waldorf was suddenly faced with a life-threatening situation: Her baby’s foot was dipping out of her cervix. Doctors told her the longer her cervix stayed open, the higher her risk of infection. They knew how to treat her. There was one issue … 🧵

Sometimes, reading something that expresses exactly what I think and how I feel, written by someone who clearly lives within the same reality, is better than a hug.

I’m sure it’s fine. Our roads and infrastructure are in great shape and can go even longer without repair. /s

The federal gas tax is 18.4 cents per gallon. Gas is up about $1.36/gallon on average since the war began. That's just the beginning of the problems with this idea, which would also drain the Highway Trust Fund.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

This is amazing. I’ve hiked and partied on the Vermejo Park Ranch, and he kept it a beautiful place. We should head out to the Valle and drink a few for the weird rich asshole who wasn’t the worst.
