High tech retired to high touch. Food, science, food science and silliness. Gotta laugh, you know.

I saw something calling farts “food ghosts” and I can’t get it out of my head.

It’s peaceful here. No tv, no news. I needed a couple of days unplugged.

❗ALERT❗ There are 3 congressional seats up for election (FL-1, FL-6, NY-21), 2 with voting starting in 3 weeks (links below). Media has been strangely silent on this 🤔 Congress is 218 R, 215 D. If we pick up 3 seats, we gain control of the House. A major step towards stopping Trump’s agenda

Very hard-right Netanyahu. Really ugly of them to do this now.

Or at all really.

I'm not anti-Israeli but I'm anti-Netanyahu regime and against persecution and war-crimes experienced by Palestinians. I think Netanyahu should be in jail.

Among the more inhumane things Trump/Musk have done this week, DOGE cut off food, water, & fuel to the US embassy in South Sudan. They are living on what power the generator can provide. The country has no potable water & there's a cholera outbreak in the country.
These Americans are in real danger.

BIG NEWS: A Wyoming judge just struck down WY's abortion bans.

And get this: The judge invoked a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... that was passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Just backfired.

We explained this lawsuit here:
How Attacks Against Obamacare Turned Into Tools to Protect Abortion Access
Conservatives amended state constitutions to affirm broad rights for people to choose their health care. Now abortion rights proponents are taking them at their word.

Last month, the so-called American Academy of Sciences and Letters gave a medal to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who advocated for mass COVID infection. NY Post framed it as a “top award.”

We looked into it. AASL is 2 years old—part of a right-wing dark money network trying to transform elite universities.
