Hopefully they are not injecting dead mosquitoes into people.

Are all your household electrical outlets conscious? Many users feel they're talking to the wall. Scientists say it's time to consider therapy.

Overheard at the store this weekend: Two women on the phone via speaker. Woman on the phone sounding confused: "I'm not sure who needs one of those..." Woman in the store: "I'm not sure either....but they're on sale!!"

Forbidden floof. 🪰

Had an amazing time with my fellow mosquito wranglers Ary Faraji (MUVE President) and Larry Reeves (U Florida FMEL). Took a collecting trip to find Aedes togoi, a mosquito that uses rocky ocean-side outcrops as larval habitat.

Thanks for a great trip Portland. #entsoc2025

Been in Portland a few hours and haven't spotted any Antifa but saw this asshole.

Fuck cancer. He likely has an tumor on his spine explaining his lack or coordination. He'll get steroids for as long as he has quality left. I'm broken knowing we'll be saying goodbye this soon.
