Schrodinger’s Strait

Maybe he’d like to try living in a failed state and see how that suits him.

Because she is awful. Next question?

Proud to be affiliated with the political party in which politicians who are credibly accused of sexual misconduct are run out of town rather than elected President.

Eastern Towhees starting to get into the full drink-your-tea version of their song.

If Karma Chameleon comes on and we don’t all sing “survival” in falsetto voices at the appropriate times, what are we even doing here?

I guess the upside of ICE agents being deployed to airports is that they’re not out on the streets terrorizing communities.

If I were on LinkedIn, I would list “dog noticing” as my skill.

Muslims belong in American society.

You know how much I hate to brag, but I already updated the clock in my car to Daylight Savings Time.

They counted the bullet holes instead of performing CPR

The Senate may choose to vote together on the DHS and LHHS bills. Thus, a filibuster on DHS may mean no funding for NIH. What my colleagues are saying: “Shut it down, public health will understand. I’ll work without pay again.” - anonymous NIHer
