Some charts for those who don't know the extent of the US public (and private) investment in research (particularly in biomedical research) compared to other countries and institutions. The destruction of the US' scientific institutions has global implications.

Today marks 15 years since the release of Fallout: New Vegas.

Since 2010, players have explored the Mojave Wasteland where countless Couriers have walked the same road—each carving their own story. Thank you for keeping the spirit of the game alive all these years.

Viva New Vegas. 🎲

This definitely got my attention.

There's been no official word, but the Sugar instagram account is followed by the band's Bob Mould, David Barbe, and Malcolm Travis.

I vastly prefer this metaphor over "idiotproofing"

what I have to keep reminding myself is that things that seem eternal and unchangeable crumble and change all the time

Agreed. I wasn't really conscious of it before we started driving EVs, but gas stations are just unpleasant places to have to go. Not having to deal with them is an unexpected bonus.
