As a fellow member of a scientific agency that is underfunded by the government vs the guys with the guns with a parallel mission, SKIP is extremely realistic

If your area got a new Labour MP then it is your duty to email them and say that you are happy the Tories are out but that transphobia should have no place in the party. Make Starmer gently walk back his support for Rowling's position!

Happy 4th of July! In the wise words of Ben Franklin: The Bald Eagle is a Bird of bad moral Character. Too lazy to fish for himself. The Turkey is a more respectable Bird, though vain & silly, a Bird of Courage, and would attack a Brit who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on.

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

Imagine them running around on the forest floor

Aquilops americanus was a tiny basal cratopsian that lived during the Early Cretaceous in North America. This amazing animal would have shared its habitat with other dinosaurs like the huge Acrocanthosaurus.

This is predictable but so important: Pasteurizing milk kills the H5N1 bird flu virus that is circulating widely in dairy cattle. It's easy to take a 150-year-old technique that has saved countless lives for granted, but don't fool around with unpasteurized dairy products. 🧪

YES! I've been a regular poll worker since 2020 and there's a non-zero number of voters who I've found solutions for, up to and including "Hey, that person who you came in with who's a registered voter can vouch for you to register at the polls!" (yay MN and our ability to do so)

It's a bit problematic how Biden has (a) narrow, limited power to have his agency draw up a student loan forgiveness process consistent with the statutes passed by Congress; but (b) complete immunity to tell everyone at Dept of Edu, "mark those loans as $0 or I'll put you in a pine box."

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

I have two things to say about CPR. Actually 3. 1. Learn CPR. If you can't take a formal class for time/money reasons, go watch shit online. 2. You won't harm someone by performing CPR if they need CPR. You cannot make someone more dead. 3. Most CPR fails. Do it anyway.

The stories of the “atomic veterans” are absolutely horrifying. They suffered debilitating illnesses and premature deaths, as did their children. This happened in the US, UK, and many other places. Like the Natives on test islands, and Downwinders, they have been ignored. Crimes against humanity.
