Many museums are currently under threat of being closed. The Academy of Natural Sciences, the oldest natural history museum in the US, is no exception. Please take the time to read our statement on this matter.

My real move is to bring an iced coffee and set it on the table exactly halfway between us, so they spend the whole interview wondering whether I brought it for them or for myself, and if they’re being horribly rude by not drinking it or about to embarrass themselves by drinking my drink.

Oh wait, someone has thought of this before!

Just what everyone in a small town loves, wealthy people coming in and buying all the houses.

"Several people who work for clinics or businesses selling peptides are on the [FDA advisory] panel." Seems like a pretty glaring conflict of interest, but those are quaint these days, aren't they? www.bbc.com/news/article...

On the bright side, health authorities shouldn't have too much difficulty convincing Americans to avoid fruits and vegetables for a while.

Yesterday, the @fda.gov approved the antibody-drug conjugate sacituzumab govitecan for first-line treatment of metastatic triple-negative breast cancer. This action is based on results from the ASCENT-03 & -04 global clinical trials, which @stolaney1.bsky.social helped to lead. ➡️ bit.ly/4uZoDP0

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

I can hear my cat snoring somewhere in the house, but I have no idea where she is.

Oh, right, the USA gutted $500 million of support for mRNA vaccines like this one

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

Red states can cancel elections and redraw the maps to cut out Black representation without any voter input, and no one stops them. Blue state asks the voters if they wanna redistrict, the voters say yes, and the court strikes it down.

Dear Friends, Please send this to your networks. Project Drawdown is offering full-time, paid (with benefits) fellowships to scientists and engineers working on climate solutions in the public interest. Deadline is April 17. drawdown.org/careers/clim...

Every week I see a post like “well, Silicon Valley has built a dick-breaking machine. No matter how you feel about getting your dick broken, it’s our responsibility to integrate mechanical dick-breaking into our schools.”

Me to Outlook: "Open the Fuckin’ attachment, you crazy bastard, or you’ll be living in Hell - JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah."

It's not a new observation, but I'm always struck listening to Trump cry and whine about how he's the victim, bitch and moan about how mean and unfair everyone is to him, brag endlessly about how great he is and how unfair it all is, to remember that his cult thinks he's the Peak Alpha Male

Each day brings a new fresh Hell. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/02/18/n...

Honestly, I'm just surprised the Florida Department of Health is keeping track. www.cidrap.umn.edu/campylobacte...

I remember reading an article in Forbes where a bunch of hedge fund managers and tech CEOs predicted which jobs would be replaced by AI. They predicted that all jobs would be replaced except CEOs.

I am an Alpha Male, the living embodiment of the red-blooded American masculine ideal. I was prompted to "Press 1 for English" today. I don't think I shall ever recover.

@sheologian.bsky.social In your region of North Carolina, is it normal for a few motorists to lose control every time it rains? I lived in Conover for 2 years and commuted to Charlotte and back every weekday. During those big summer rains, I would always see 2-3 cars in a ditch alongside Highway 16.

I refuse to give that greedheaded libertarian space in my head as a hero. But the sonofabitch has been consistent on extrajudicial killings by presidents since al-Awlaki and if he keeps this up, I going to be really pissed off at whatever measure of grudging respect I'll have to supply.

Really growing uneasy seeing all the businesses with names like "Ken's Konstruction Kompany" or "Karen's Kustom Kreations."

Look at Panda Express! I honestly had no idea it was ranked second.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen.

mr president sir theres a story coming about how you intervened to help a sex criminal. no sir, not that sex criminal you helped….no not that one either…sir, please stop guessing sex criminals that you helped. ill give you a hint sir, hes a trafficker. no sir, not that trafficker a different one

EVERYTHING is more expensive this year. "Here's how to navigate higher prices" = "If I want this thing, I guess I'll just have to pay more for it."

Why did every Microsoft product suddenly get worse about 6 months ago? Word defaults to saving every document to my last visited folder instead of each document's original folder, which it used to do. I basically have to beg Outlook to attach a file to an email.

People who devote this much time and energy to doing stupid shit probably never face any real challenges in life. "I am going to make a conscious effort to not wash my hands after I pee!" Dude has way too much time on his hands, nothing productive to do.

[update] - you have received a $2,000 direct deposit in your Flexible Spending Account courtesy of President Trump [update] - you have received your Hospital - Invoice.pdf for $109,563.98 [update] - Flexible Spending Account balance is now negative $107,563.98

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

I'm starting to have some hope that the parasocial fondness a lot of people have for Trump isn't enough to overcome the dismal reality of rising prices, stagnant wages, mass layoffs, and rampant government corruption.
