Just saw some lightning and my first thought was still that I need to find Ada and check on her because she *hated* thunderstorms.

Historian of modern science. History of evolutionary biology, the modern synthesis, and scientific racism. Also somehow the history of the physical sciences.

Yeah, the medication isn’t always enough. I’m so sorry you’re going through it, and I hope you can at least believe that it won’t last forever and you will get better.

I’ve been there (it’s my default unmedicated state) and know how hard it is. Let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.

I really do wish the app would notify you when one of your posts gets picked up by a feed. I’ve had random posts that exploded and drove myself crazy trying to figure out what was going on before realizing it was probably a random feed somewhere. But no idea which one!

One thing I’ve discovered over the years is that everyone *thinks* they know how to pack a suitcase efficiently. Almost everyone is wrong about this, but it’s almost impossible to convince anyone of that, so well done.

Calling David Barton “an amateur historian” is on the one hand pretty funny, but on the other radically downplays the scope and reach of his terrifyingly batshit activism.

The evo behav sciences seem doomed to repeat the same conversations over again. From 2000: “Can we blame the field of ev psych for Kevin MacDonald? Intellectually speaking, no. But it’s the job of a scholarly association not just to foster discussion but also police the boundaries of its discipline”

a better idea for a blitz primary: ➡️ all potential candidates are drugged, pass out, and wake in a classroom on a remote island ➡️ each is randomly assigned a weapon and sent out one by one ➡️ every hour, a zone of the island is forbidden; staying there is fatal ➡️ last one standing is the nominee

Honestly, this remake of Battle Royale would make a lot more sense than solving overpopulation by taking out one eighth grade class per year. I say we go for it!

Yeah, we did this with two cats last September, and I was really hoping it would be a while before it happened again. Fortunately, the remaining cat and dog we have are both very young, so the wounds will be scarred over before the next time (knocks on every wooden surface within 100 miles)

Totally unrelated to anything, but I’ve been working on a web project on the Manhattan Project for work, and I have had such a mental block from trying not to open the text with “the Manhattan Project was a dream given form…”

Thanks, Will. On the bright side, Gertie is still less than a year old, so hopefully we don’t have to go through this again for a long, long time.

Thank you, I really appreciate it. And to fulfill the brief of actually telling you about the loved one, she was the most talkative cat I’ve ever met, we would have “meow meow” conversations for minutes on end. She was also standoffish with people or animals who weren’t me, but she was still perfect

One of the hardest things about doing oral histories is convincing the interviewees that how they sound in the transcript is completely normal and it doesn’t need to be edited to sound like polished prose
