Just need everyone to Google the name "Rosalind Franklin" at this moment.
Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

100%. This is the clear path for Trump to ensure he holds on to power past the mid-terms. I'd be shocked at this stage if there is something close to a free and fair election next year.
Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

When they say transparency they mean secrecy.
When they say efficiency they mean corruption.
When they say gold standard science they mean grifter quackery.
When they say Make America Healthy Again they mean they don’t give a fuck if you live or die as long as they retain power and profit.

So much for transparency: the CDC's entire FOIA office has been gutted. Person familiar tells me: "Everyone, there's not a person left."

one great mystery of our age is how the only way to motivate rich people to work is to give them loads of money for no reason but the only way to motivate poor people to work is to take away loads of their money for no reason

A storm is a great time to steal a trampoline from a garden.
They'll assume it blew away.
But they won't look in case it killed someone.

This one time I got my days wrong at work and ended up alone in a room with my boss and the President of Ireland while I was on ketamine.

My head hurts reading the Israeli interpretations of Irish history. It’s disturbing to see so much pseudohistory deployed in order to [as our president noted] declare everyone Irish, everywhere, ‘antisemitic’.

I've finally given up on the toxic cesspool that Twitter has become. Back in the good old days I used to have a great feed of history, politics, rugby and Irish Whiskey content. I'd appreciate any follow recommendations to help recreate that here. Thanks!
