That’s the problem with social media.
When i was young, we knew our village idiot was a loudmouth arsehole-who we ignored.
Alas,Meta & X deliberately get village idiots together & feed them shit 24x7
Result: a village idiot has the same authority as a PhD in a subject, & GETS LIKES for it? WTF

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

I’m going to be honest, it feels pretty impossible lately to reconcile what I’m teaching in my climate change course with the configuration of my (and everyone’s) life. I just want a buddy for a three degree world

I feel so frustrated right now, my head is about to explode.
Don’t forget about 1 million a day for National Guard to patrol cities like Portland, LA, Memphis, DC, Baltimore and New Orleans. But sorry no money for the poor working class.

Science isn’t static. Our last Ode to #NationalFoodDay is a great example of this. We used to tell parents to avoid peanuts. Then new research showed early exposure prevents allergy, which has likely saved thousands of kids from developing peanut allergies. 🥜💡

Reversing peanut advice prevented tens of thousands of allergy cases, researchers say
A decade ago, research said giving young children peanut products can prevent allergies. A new study says that, 10 years later, tens of thousands of U.S. children have avoided allergies as a result.
