I love this photo of Louis Pasteur in his laboratory. Pasteurization is such a cool process and it's been amazing getting to design pasteurization systems for a living. #STEM

I have no words. This was a trip. Everyone needs to see this, I loved every minute but have no idea what to think. #YouCanSeeEverything #A24

I am a huge fan of H.R. Giger's artwork and the Alien creature design, so this was a very cool animatronic to see this Halloween season!

How much PFAS is in Minnesota fish? We often have no idea.

what if bluesky showed us two levels of quote posts

🦠World Microorganism Day! 🔬 This photo is from a three-species synthetic biofilm community that we were working on, composed of: 🧫 Pseudomonas aeruginosa 🧫 Pseudomonas protegens 🧫 Klebsiella pneumoniae

These are test images I did for a client recently. The idea is a nuclear powered probe to Europa. The version IV of Starship would be the transport.

Global protein consumption has increased by 1/3 since 1960 More than half of this new growth has come from animal sources, despite plant protein still making up 62% of all protein supply Reversing this trend & being clear on plant protein wins (fibre, planetary health, equal muscle gain) is key

A superb lyrebird named Nova left a woman stunned after it approached her at the Adelaide Zoo in Australia and started making camera shutter noises. Superb lyrebirds are native to Australia. Nova was born in 1989, and moved to the Adelaide Zoo in 2017.

I love how much of Bluesky is people posting food they made. I'm so hungry rn.

I went hiking along Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula of #Michigan this weekend. Absolutely stunning views!

I saw The Odyssey twice this weekend. What an INCREDIBLE movie! The scene with the dog Argos was heartbreaking 😢

I worry about what Tim is doing to his voice. . . but at the same time, I don't want it to stop.

I would likely be brought in front of my employer’s HR department if I linked to it so I won’t, but people, if you’re not enjoying The Onion’s InfoWars, you are missing out on the greatest comedy of the age

Taking a camping trip to the Driftless Area here in #Wisconsin this weekend, super excited! Bad timing with the wildfire smoke but worth it.

I just had someone over and fed them, and they said my food was delicious. It's the little things like that that keep me going through this shitty, unfair world.

I remember watching the first episode of Peaky Blinders with my dad when it came out, and the episode was great, but it wasn’t until Sam Neill’s Inspector Campbell had his first big scene that we turned to each other and said “this just got good” RIP to the legend

Just saw a photo of Sam Reid before he played Lestat, with short hair and normal people clothes. We need to immediately pass a law banning that man from cutting his hair or letting any straight man dress him. This is a matter of national security.

I've already seen the #Backrooms movie twice so now I'm downloading Escape the Backrooms on Steam. Will see if it's any good!

I saw #DisclosureDay last night. Very much not what I was expecting. What a phenomenal 3rd act though!

Raw milk is 100% safe if you keep it outside of you

FDA Recalls 40,000 Gallons Of RFK Jr. Milk https://theonion.com/fda-recalls-40000-gallons-of-rfk-jr-milk/

In Idaho, 45 people have been confirmed to be infected with Campylobacter because they drank raw milk, with several others also sick. Campy is a bacteria that causes diarrhea and stomach cramps, and in 1-5% of cases, can cause reactive arthritis that lasts for months.

In moments like these, When rain clouds Tease me from near hills, Having skirted the valleys In shades of grey, I am aware of the drought; The parts that beg for Water for this fire. Quench me, Rain down on my soul Let me feel The heat that rises From cool drops On hot skin Sizzling with passion.

It has only taken me months to finally convince my close friend who is interested in the world of Neo-Nazis and far-right extremists to listen to @socialistdogmom.bsky.social and her excellent Weird Little Guys podcast but I'm so glad I could spread the world. It's so good you guys.

Saw the #Backrooms movie the other day. One of the eeriest, best horror movies I have seen in a long time. Very scary without needing a bunch of jump scares. I'm a huge fan of the Kane Parsons YouTube short films, so glad he got to make a full movie based on his art!

Idaho health officials are investigating how nearly 60 people got sick after drinking raw milk in the past two weeks. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare says they didn't name two dairies potentially linked to the outbreak “because this is a potential risk for any raw milk producer.”

The biggest public health problem today isn’t chemicals. It’s scientific illiteracy.

In the Late 1800s and early 1900s, pasteurization of milk saved millions of lives. It is an extremely simple process which just heats the milk enough to prevent foodborne illnesses without affecting taste. Tuberculosis, for example, was being transmitted through contaminated milk.

Everybody be quiet and look at this baby toucan.

Every once in a while I log back into the old site and am immediately reminded why I left in the first place. Appreciate everyone here making it a healthy online environment 😊

🔥 Extreme heat is already hitting food systems. Farmers can’t work. Livestock are stressed. Yields are falling. We need more diverse, resilient food systems – and to phase out fossil fuels. 🔗 www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Looking forward to stepping on these with my bare feet.

My hike this last Saturday #Wisconsin

Good to see restaurant product developers turning to food cultures that know what they're doing, as opposed to VC-funded, influencer-touted SM darlings whose products taste like obfuscated laboratory-produced sadness.

Just found out @freecad.org has an account here. I love their software, it's a unique and very cool #CAD program. Plus it's free!
