Ok the next shirt design is EITHER going to be a lightning bug or bioluminescent deep sea creature. I have not decided which... But regardless its gonna be glow in the dark I'll tell you that much.

Evolution is an empirical fact! It's observable & measurable. The Theory of Evolution explains how & why it occurs. We observe evolution happening (fact) & the theory of evolution provides the mechanisms (natural selection, genetic drift, etc.) that drive it. evolution.berkeley.edu/evolution-101/

Crime in the United States has dropped immensely in the last 35 years

Best I can reckon, this would be the most people ever assembled on Boston Common in its 392 years? Would be the papal visit in '79, the last No Kings in '25, then today. drone shot pulled from CNN #NoKings

Dem leadership should be telling everyone that this is the talking point.

Seven-word death punch

When movies were shot on physical film, the film was measured in feet. This is why any recorded thing is now called ‘footage.'

i do not "organize my files", i do not "put things in separate folders", i PUT EVERYTHING IN DOWNLOADS! and if i can't find it, i LOST IT!

Big iced tea matchup on Friday

I hereby declare St. Patrick’s day the day to study geography of speciation. The relevant jargon for speciation types: ☘️ alloPatrick ☘️ symPatrick ☘️ paraPatrick (inspired by a class I attended today, where my responsible colleague failed to point out this clear connection)

Public service announcement: Please stop with all the adaptationism. Issue 1: some beneficial traits arise through forces other than natural selection (i.e. they aren't results of adaptation). Issue 2: many seemingly beneficial traits are not beneficial at all (i.e., they don't increase fitness).

There may mot be any snakes in Ireland, but there are legless lizards! In fairness to St. Patrick, Anguis fragilis were probably introduced about 1,300 after the famous ophidiophobe was alive, so he couldn’t banish them with the snakes.

Portland pothole artists are seriously my favorite people. If you know one or are one and would be willing to talk about your craft, please DM

Happy Pi Day to all who celebrate.

Even the conservative Wall Street Journal understands the havoc wealth inequality is wreaking on our economy and society. It’s far past time to unrig the system. https://www.wsj.com/finance/billionaires-low-taxes-are-becoming-a-problem-for-the-economy-27a560ca

Albert Einstein was born in Germany on March 14, 1879. Albert Einstein famously stated regarding his immigration to the U.S.: "As long as I have any choice in the matter, I shall live only in a country where civil liberty, tolerance and equality of all citizens before the law prevail".

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

Elon Musk is now worth $845 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, nearly a quarter of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. See the problem here?

Just walked by a colleague's classroom after my class finished and he was talking about Elvis, getting blank stares and so he had to ask "Does anyone know who Elvis Presley is?" It's rough out here on these teaching streets.

is...is this game theory

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Happy International Women's Day to the original International Woman

People seem to be worried we'll be a poor country if we have poor people immigrating here, instead of the actual problem of becoming a poor country because the rich people already here took everything for themselves.

There's a sea creature whose common name is the pikachu nudibranch and I need everyone to see it immediately.

Imagine all the cool, fast trains we could have with the billions we spend on bombs.

Is it a good sign for a society when even the shills of capitalism have moved on from hopeful aspiration (use our products to get what you want) to hopeless resignation (use our products to pretend you got what you want)?

Jeffries: "Article 1 of the Constitution provides Congress with the sole authority to declare war. Framers made that decision b/c they were concerned about kings plunging their people into unnecessary wars to pillage resources of others for the benefit of a tyrant and his family. Sound familiar?"

In Texas, Dem turnout in the gubernatorial primary topped GOP turnout by 100K. Dems were up nearly 200K in the Senate primaries.

I love games and so many of the people who make them. It was an honor to accept the award on behalf of the team and a privilege to be able to speak to what I believe in. ♥️
