Several years ago, I wrote this piece on the climatological influences of volcanism, both now and in Earth's deep past, but never shared it here before. tinyurl.com/2uve2t68

I'm normally opposed to kink-shaming consenting adults, but holy crap. Get help.

I'll add "the rug doctor" to that list. Keep it going... who are you adding to the list? #rfkjrisdangerous

Exactly. Facts and objective data analysis does not bend to anyone's misguided beliefs, feelings or delusions, and neither should we.

That's dedication. I would have been done the moment my skin fell off. #science #exercise #running

I get mad that the word "holistic" has been misappropriated by the pseudoscience world. Modern medical science is holistic. And pseudoscience couldn't be more unholistic. - @rajanisurendarb.bsky.social

Apparently the DSM VI is gonna be lit. Lot's of revisions coming in according to super reliable internet randos with zero qualifications.

Science denialism precludes the possibility of constructing accurate views of the world, and actions based on wildly inaccurate beliefs can potentially become deadly. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

"The work is by far the best available evidence on the question of the safety of aluminum in vaccines, said Adam Finn, a childhood vaccination expert in the UK and pediatrician at the University of Bristol, who was not involved in the study." #standupforscience

"The data the 2 missions collect is widely used, including by scientists, oil & gas companies & farmers who need detailed information about CO2 & crop health. They are the only 2 federal satellite missions that were designed & built specifically to monitor planet-warming greenhouse gases."

The standard procedure is to lie down & start screaming. You're unlikely to be able to do much else anyway because, although the pain is not typically long-lasting or life-threatening, it is intense. You might also want to wash the area w/ soap to avoid infection, & maybe put an ice pack on it.

And that terms like "nasty," "yucky," "icky," and "gross" represent the pinnacle of objectivity in the lexicon of scientific descriptions.

It’s called mouth brooding. After they’re fertilized, male jawfish protect the eggs in their mouths until they hatch. The male will “juggle” the eggs in his mouth to aerate them from time to time, will not eat and restrain his activities until hatching time. Photo credit: Gregory Piper.

Of course they did. tinyurl.com/3e5n84ab

This is why RFK's MAHA can never achieve its alleged goals. Addressing factors that science shows have little or no relevance to health & disavowing evidence-based measures like vaccines can't improve public health by any metric, especially when paired w/ cuts to research, medicaid & SNAP benefits.

Most HFCS in sodas is a 55/45 ratio, but still. Want to eat healthier? Limiting your intake of sugary drinks altogether beats switching to a different type of sugar. Research suggests little to no difference between them in health outcomes. Too much of either on a consistent basis can be problematic

Trusting experts is totalitarianism says the untrustworthy non-expert. Ok, then.

Jeremy the left coiled snail & his quest for love. Good news! Jeremy did get laid in the end & managed to reproduce. Yes, garden snails are hermaphroditic so technically Jeremy is not a he. But he was named after Jeremy Corbyn, left wing British politician with a known love for gardening.

“More than 300 species of spiders are known to mimic the outward appearance of ants, a phenomenon called myrmecomorphy. Most ant-mimicking spiders have a “false waist” and are covered with reflective hairs to simulate the shiny, three-segmented bodies of ants.” www.iflscience.com/plants-and-a...

Behold the concept of condensed soup where most of the water content has been removed. Also soup can solidify if it contains broth from an animal source. The collagen in the bones is transformed into gelatin by the heat and it will solidify as it cools.

If the mnemonic device “Dear King Philip Came Over For Good Soup” doesn’t work for you, here is another one to help you remember the main taxonomic ranks in biological classification.

"Confusion escalated this week when Kennedy abruptly dismissed all 17 members of the expert panel wielding a great deal of power in shaping vaccine policy & recommendations to the CDC.
