The War of The Worlds movie with #IceCube is actually quite enjoyable if you go into it knowing it is ridiculous and see it with a group of friends, so you can MST3000 it.

Want to #HelpPBS? (If you can afford it) For as little as $5/month, you get access to #PBSPassport. It contains all PBS shows, plus a bunch of non-US shows (my favorites are Astrid and Royal Flying Doctor Service). For those in the US, that full $5/month is tax deductible.

In 2021, Ted Cruz fled to Mexico while Texans froze to death.
In 2025, he was sightseeing in Europe while Texans drowned.
At this point, we should just track his passport to predict natural disasters.

Tesla FSD 13.2.9 will still run a kid down while illegally blowing past a stopped school bus with red lights flashing and stop sign extended.
Elon Musk how many kids does FSD need to run over before you fix this?
I warned about this danger at the 2023 Super Bowl!

"If someone had said, “Who cares how desert lizard venom works? Let’s not fund that research,” we never would have discovered semaglutide, a key component of drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic, which have helped millions of Americans lose weight."

My latest for American Scientist Magazine helps give scientists the tools to fight back against politicized charges that our research is silly or pointless- tools that will work whether you’re asked “why are we funding this” from your asshole uncle at Thanksgiving or an asshole US Senator.

“Why Are We Funding This?”
Long-standing myths about “silly science” have contributed to the reckless slashing of government-supported research.

Those motherfuckers want to privatize nearly the entirety of the the cascade wild lands. The green “for sale” areas in Oregon includes the majority of the Hood, Willamette, Umpqua and Deschutes National Forests. These are some of the most beautiful, rugged and wild areas left in the western US.

So basically the protests were peaceful except that two competing cop departments accidentally went to war with each other
Many of the LA Sheriffs didn't have their gas masks on yet so the Sheriffs got gassed by LAPD
LAPD was on the radio crying about getting shot by rubber bullets by the sheriffs, so I'd say fair trade
Typical level of professional policing for Los Angeles. Waiting for CHP to join the fun.

Troll #4 of 6 visited. Saw Oscar the Bird King on Murray Island today. I really liked the crown made of bird houses, and how people have "painted" his nails with shells.
