I love studying insects, teaching genetics and connecting on Bluesky.
I don't care how pretty you are or how many followers you have.
Please don't try to sell me anything but ideas.

I'm working on "The Look". That will be what I use when a Trumper gives me their "I'm shocked" story. It won't be pity or disdain. It might be that look you have on your face when you watch a video showing a warthog meandering through the bush unsuspecting the leopard waiting in the undergrowth.
ICE: Seat them at your restaurant. Take their pictures. Take their orders. Then ask them to leave for disturbing the peace or disruptive behavior. Or, just get their orders remarkably wrong. Give them raw meat. They’re there to trash your community. It’s not like they’re coming back.

Parading around in front of a bunch of seasoned military leaders like a festooned gibbon seems a bit more like something a deafSec would do rather than a SecDef.

Join the Army National Guard. Get paid to point guns at fellow Americans. Also get the occasional free sub sandwich.

Now that ICE is demonstrably involved in the illegal rending of people in America, can Americans view ICE activities as potential kidnappings and act accordingly? The Trump Administration appears to have suspended the rule of law in favor of the rule of muscle.

@penguin-warrior.bsky.social Did you know Paul Nolan perhaps? He studied penguin coloration and it’s role in mating behavior.

Not being allowed to hand water to people in line to vote no matter who they are voting for, while being allowed to hand people million dollar checks to get their vote, is the most American thing ever.

They can delete it from your drive using your phone, which I wouldn't be too keen on smashing.

Where are all of the oligarchs going to go one they finish dispatching the government and it’s programs? King Cheeto appears destined to live in a high rise in Saudi if Jared can procure enough gold toilets. But what about all of the high-ranking sycophants? Where to hole up during the apocalypse?

Biologists et al.: please suggest a comic book / anime superhero or character whose actions most resemble that of an antibody. My defaults at present are Wil E. Coyote or Elmer Fudd given their singleminded pursuit of the Roadrunner/Bugs but those are dated (i.e., my age). Thanks!

I wonder if Kentucky bourbon manufacturers have come to the realization that they may weather the Trump-induced Canadian kerfluffle just fine as Republicans suffering from self-inflicted wounds seek solace in a bottle of booze over the days, weeks, months ahead.

Any BlueSkeeters have video/written news snippets following Reagan occupying the Presidency? It would be great if he or one of his minions said something to the effect, “There may be a little pain initially but then the wealth will start trickling down.” Because now we’re privatizing our government.

An explanation and analysis of the events that are occurring is missing from a lot of political discourse rn. Additionally, re: Musk etc., a careful explanation of just how illegal it is. And what should happen instead.
That's something I thought Kris Mayes does beautifully in only a few minutes.

On point! Arizona A.G. Kris Mayes summarizes current status of the U.S. in 4 min.
Congress and the judiciary are supposed to limit overreach by president.
Congress could pass laws to give Trump what he wants legally! But Repubs know Americans oppose his actions and don't want their votes recorded.

If Democrats were threatened with censure, why didn’t everyone get up and walk before Trump started jabbering? The msg sent via tv appears to be largely one of passivity. If our elected leaders aren’t prepared to make sacrifices like those Al Green made, then the hoi polloi have few options indeed.
