Great work on getting all that Tacobell freeze dried for Hank Green! Definitely entertaining watching him try all that food, fast food seemed to hold up reasonably well.

capitalism has ruined a lot of things but the switch from fresh brewed coffee to single serve garbage keurig machine coffee at restaurants and gas stations might be the last straw for me.

Since we’re apparently doing this again, let’s talk how Canada set an American steamship on fire and sent it over Niagara Falls, and how that created the legal precedent for when a nation can launch a “preemptive attack.”

Well, UMN has officially been hit. We just got an email from our president that an international grad student was detained yesterday. No further details provided.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

Let's learn about the Seriemas, family Cariamidae.

This red-legged Seriema named Kevin is demonstrating how he prevents his food from wriggling as he swallows it, as captured by @witmerlab.bsky.social during a visit to the Columbus Zoo in 2019.

Native to South America, they have famous cousins...

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?

Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

To summarize:

-They stopped almost all USAID work

-Then they conceded that some programs actually saved lives & granted waivers for those

-Then they promised a “careful” 90 day review of everything

-Then they cancelled 90% anyway within just weeks, including many they had just deemed life-saving
