On a detour on my lit review, a mosey through the history of our familiar friend, the standard onion (Allium cepa) brought me right to one of botany's greatest cautionary tales of what happens when ideology overrides data

it is completely reasonable to not be excited about right to die being legislated during a fascist regime that is constantly doing eugenics, actually

MukhammadAziz Umurzokov was a first-year student at Brown University. His sister said he “always lent a helping hand to anyone in need and was the kindest person.” A high school friend “heard the news from a group chat. None of us wanted to believe it. Even now, I still can’t.” buff.ly/Tb4k6Fh

The two victims of the Brown University shooting deserved to come home from their final exams alive. Honor them by reading and sharing their stories. Give the shooter #NoNotoriety.

This is your occasional reminder that attention is literally their business model, and when you don’t give it to them, they fail.
Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Purdue is one of the most trusted equine hospitals in my region of the country. People trailer their horses hours to be seen there.
But I’m not trusting my horse to vet students being told to use AI to diagnose & treat patients. And I’m not alone.
That’s an expensive mistake, Purdue admin.

As a Purdue alum, this is a shameful move. What I valued about my Purdue CS education was the intentionality given to thinking about process, how to treat programming as a set of idioms to be thoroughly understood and implemented, no matter the programming language. >>

Heartbreaking and horrifying to go to bed reading about the mass shooting at Brown University and wake up to read about the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach. Thinking of the victims, their loved ones, and those affected by the hate that drove these attacks.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah.
Praying for his full & speedy recovery.
And so deeply inspired by his example.

Two victims of previous school shootings — Mia Tretta, who was shot in the stomach in 2019 at Saugus High School, and Zoe Weissman, who survived the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School — are now at Brown. Gun violence is out of control in this country.

I need people to know that Alaska Native corporation shareholders have spoken out about our subsidiaries who run ICE detention centers. Most of the discussions are on Facebook, bc that's where the shareholders are, but it's also been covered in mm. We've written letters, protested, emailed, etc.
Is there any turmoil over Alaska Native Corporations and their disgusting ICE contracts? We hear so little about this and it’s been going on for years. They are loving the money in 2025. #akleg

We sadly know Zoe Weissman because of Parkland. In fact, our families are so close, that she has been there for my wife and I after Parkland and helped with our foundation Orange Ribbons For Jaime.

The anti-Semitic mass shooting in Australia will cause a national conversation and policy change. We know this because the 1996 Port Arthur massacre led to significant restrictions on guns.
The shooting at Brown will do nothing. We know this because it occurred on the anniversary of Sandy Hook.
