I'm at a STEM convention, and a weird number of people have assumed my books are free. They just walk off with them. They're not skinny comic books, they're full-size graphic novels. Nothing at the other tables is free. What is going on?

The USA is trying to run a 21st century economy by returning to the 20th century because of ideology (ludicrous climate change / global warming denialism) and the lobbying (sponsorship / bribery) by the fossil fuels industry

That’s literally the point of the GOP plan to remove birthright citizenship. They want a docile underclass with no rights that is beholden to an employer and can’t leave.

Watched Nuremberg yesterday. This answer hits especially hard. Smh

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I think I'm gonna watch Legend in honor of the great Tim Currys birthday. Legend was MY The Princess Bride 😊

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020. She missed these trials by a few months. One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here. I feel such a hole inside. In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

I feel like a lot of cosplayers have hit "professional Hollywood level costume and prop manufacturing" levels 😲

I just saw someone talking about how anti AI talk is bad because it's leading to violence. Oh you mean rhetoric is leading to action that will harm those trying to use technology that is objectively bad from harming us further?

best thing I am learning from Mamdani is to stay cheerful and keep going. Rage is tempting but it slows you down

I'm beginning to think there are a lot more names in the Epstein files than most people realize. Politicians. supporters and rich creeps from every political stripe and many countries. Otherwise, someone would have leaked the whole thing by now.

This is what a timelapse of sleeping seals looks like. Seals can hold their breath for up to 19 minutes and even nap underwater. While sleeping, they sink and periodically swim to the surface to breathe.

"Claims that ivermectin is a cure-all are circulating like herpes at a kissing booth amongst Americans who never made it past high school biology -thanks to miraculous proclamations by celebrities, pundits, and most disturbingly… state legislators."

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial - NBC News Don’t tell the MAGAt’s that a mRNA vaccine is proving to be very EFFECTIVE in preventing PANCREATIC CANCER. I wonder if they’ll scream about this mRNA VACCINE? 💉 mRNA TECHNOLOGY is GROUNDBREAKING SCIENCE in action

"Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial: Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later."

All that rock and sand toting yesterday? I woke up around 1:30 with a dull ache in my left shoulder. Luckily ibuprofen worked and I was able to fall back asleep.

Charlize Theron on the Night Her Mother Killed Her Father in Self-Defense Unfortunately, this is not an isolated story. These things are prevalent in a lot of homes. Women really get a very, very unfair shake, even in this country. Nobody takes it seriously.

My father survived a year with pancreatic cancer but it was a year of terrible suffering. This is very encouraging news. www.nbcnews.com/health/cance...

Time for Mamdani and Obama to go to a baseball game with the Pope. Let’s just blow this whole thing wide open.

Happy 80th Birthday to the legendary Tim Curry! 🖤

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Child: I know your name. Mamdani. Obama: What’s his first name? Child: Mayor.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

For how long will the US allow itself to be ruled by a megalomaniac and madman?

A moderate geomagnetic storm could produce northern lights visible “as low as New York to Wisconsin to Washington state,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says.

As a former little league coach, the only advice I’d give to you moms and dads coaching your own teams is to let Andrew keep chewing on his glove out there in right field. It’s not hurting anyone and he doesn’t have much else to do. Also, use Three Stooges bits for steal signs

Who could’ve predicted this would happen?

I want to swap out my old Corolla for an EV next year, but I have zero interest in spending $50k for one, which is the only price US carmakers are interested in. If one of them rolled out a $22k EV it be the best-selling vehicle within a year. So why won't they? Big Oil, the Shithead in power.
