And for some lighter fare I give you Solo, on my desk defiling my keyboard a few weeks ago.

He just went from laying like a normal cat to suddenly rolling over and tea bagging my esc key.

Got to see Bloodywood last night, they opened for baby metal. Amazing show, great energy, wished they had a longer set.

Glanced at my phone between bands and saw we bombed Iran. 💀

I got home to Solo lethargic, he vomited a bunch and wouldn't eat. Immediately went to the emergency vet.

One of the most pernicious ideas of non scientists (politicians especially) is that scientific research can be turned on and off like a spigot without consequences.
“Why do we even plan on doing great things if, on a whim, we can just decide ‘nah’?” the senior space scientist says. “These things take a generation to build and enable multiple generations of scientists. They should not be blithely thrown away.” www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.

We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

The messaging should be that Trump just pulled off probably the largest redistribution of wealth in this countries history to himself and billionaires.

He stole from you to make himself and his friends richer. This is no different then if he'd withdrawn the money from your accounts directly.
“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.”

Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

Mostly, I'm just tired of feeling like I'm living in the 5-10 minute montage of the few years leading up to everything going to shit at the start of a the zombie/post-apocalyptic/ end of the world movie.

The last 9-10 years have destroyed me. I honestly thought it was the ADHD and narcolepsy getting worse from menopause, while I'm sure it didn't help, but I suspect it's more likely the near constant state of elevated cortisol and stress.

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice.

The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President.

Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back.

We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

The Trump Administration's list of censored scientific terms that get NSF grant proposals flagged contains "women” and “female”, but no mention of “men” or “male.” There is “black” and “indigenous” on this list, but no “white.” The only identity not censored is mine.
