I just lost my dog and now I'm really worried about my cat. I noticed blood in his stool this morning when cleaning the litter box. He is acting normal, but I'm still going to make him an appt at the vet to get him checked out.

If you could send good vibes his way, I'd appreciate it.

Yet another perk of slashing and gutting federal agencies like NOAA and National Weather Service...no more pesky "named storms" painting a gloomy climate picture. And no further need for that depressing FEMA agency either. Win-win!! 🤦🏼‍♂️

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

I am pissed off at George Clooney, if he would have shut his fucking mouth we could have won this? Now he should be running the USAID to show he’s a real person.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Today was a pretty special day. I was invited back by the Physics Dept at my alma mater @tcddublin.bsky.social to give a seminar. It went really well and my two favourite Profs were there! Afterwards, we went to lunch together with the lovely third Prof who made the talk happen 😊 #physics 🧪👩‍🔬⚛️

Love Reims. Did you see the big cannonball still lodged in the facade of the cathedral?

I also had an Art Deco cake break at the patisserie Waïda, with its stained glass and wood panelling. Oh, and a delicious Opera cake too.

The Bibliotheque Carnegie is one of the thousands of libraries worldwide funded by Andrew Carnegie, but the only one in France. Designed by architect Max Sainsaulieu, it opened in 1928 and is still a working municipal library, so the public areas can be visited for free.

After going to the library, I went to the post office! Designed by François Le Coeur in 1926-27, it looks plain from the outside, but inside it’s a modernist wonder. It’s also a working post office and they don’t like you taking photos, but I snapped a couple before the nice lady told me not to.

I’d seen pictures of the Bibliotheque Carnegie chandelier before, but had no idea how big it really is – maybe seven feet long? And the building has lots of other lovely decorative details too.
