The July 4, 1942 edition of the "Pinedale Logger," the newspaper written by inmates of the concentration camp in my hometown of Fresno, CA, describes a "Gala Fourth Festival" & features a masthead motto from Thomas Paine: "Tyranny, Like Hell, Is Not Easily Conquered."

Yeah! This is why I recommend Wikipedia to people who want to know more about molecular biology, because proteins I knew about were accurately described.

Those eyes, tho!!! I'd call her Snake. Sweet, sweet and cute but with an intense gaze... Snake will be quick and clever and surprisingly cuddly.

Thanks for posting this. It is frightening. But better to know than be caught unawares. Let's celebrate people like her getting this information out to us.

I bought Emma Golman's autobiography and some essays. I feel hopeless when I think about how to turn society around... But Emma lived through and helped push so much social change! I want to absorbed some of her spirit and intellect. Biographies are so lovely to me for these reasons.

I'm working hard at having fun! Today, for example, I did no work at all! It's Saturday! I walked around my new hometown, bought books, and met random people, saw some improv and took myself for 1/2 a beer and ran into other people who were the random people I met about a year ago ... :)

My job meant everything to me. I loved being a scientist. I love what I do now. But the problem is that if you want a job where you use your creative side, you need to work beyond normal amount of hours, in all the fields. Only the lucky and the well married have a shot at a life + such a career

It’s not just the physical infrastructure here. Once you contract with an electricity supplier, you’ve tangled the curb up in a bunch of legal obligations. Is this our Chicago parking meter fiasco?

There is a #gamedev feed.
And ScienceGameCenter.com is a magazine/website thing where I list science games, your players can review your game, and I send out newsletters, social media, etc so Science and Nature Game devs can reach a bigger audience. Login and "suggest new game"

This looks like the ultimate Science Game for electrical circuit engineering! So cool!
This game lets you build other games. In fact, you first build the circuit board for the game, then write code, the print a case for the device... Crazy!! #science #indiedev
