This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.
Reading Pet Semetary by @stephenking.bsky.social for the first time, and it's fantastic. But every time it gets to the Mic Mac burial ground all my crazy brain does is:
🎶 "It's a Mic Mac patty wack give the ground a bone. This dead cat is coming home." 🎶
“No Kings Day”: A compilation
Thanks to DOGE’s spending freezes:
-EPA labs have halted critical research
-Social Security staffers are rationing paper and can’t pay translators
-NOAA has lost internet and phone services
-National Park workers can’t buy medicine for visitors or rangers’ horses
"Efficiency."

Republican cuts to Medicaid will hurt hardworking families like George's. Listen to @debbiedingell.house.gov:
Gonna say it was autism when I karate chop a Nazi.
Yeah, I took a few shorcuts for my own time management 😅
But thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Smallpox was a devastating illness, but it was also vulnerable to human ingenuity because:
1. It only infected people...it couldn't hide in animals.
2. It's a DNA virus, which makes its genome much more stable, and its mutation rate slower.
3. It was very clear when someone had smallpox.

Just saw @hankgreen.bsky.social internal monologue video and, I don't know if this is the same for everyone, my internal monologue isn't my only kind of thought. But it is omnipresent. Like, if I think of someone I know there's a picture and all the stuff hank said, but also narration with it.
Sometimes I wonder if they understand anything about what they voted for.
This is awful. I was already dreading a second term and now I'm just mad

Thy ressurection is not covered in network. Thou wilt need to pay the full price (20000). My sincerest apologies
A strange adventurer passed through my tomb earlier today. He tried to take my femur to show to his students. I believe he proclaimed himself to be named Jones?
2 Year Old: Dada, Optimus Prime has a creepy tummy.
Me: He has a creepy tummy?
2YO: Yeah. *shows me*
Me: I guess he does.
A story that begins with a corpse on the floor is a mystery. A story that ends with a corpse on the floor is a tragedy. A story that begins with a floor on a corpse is The Wizard of Oz.
Sometimes I look at the art on my walls and think about how the idea of art may be older than the idea of walls.

I've been watching Transformers Earthspark
What I expected: A classic Transformers show with Autobots vs Decepticons
What I've seen so far: Bumblebee struggling as a teacher/foster parent
Tweet from Kim Schwan Why don't we do election year like The Masked Singer? Every politician is disguised, has to tell us their plans and debate with distorted voices. We don't know their gender, race, or party. Winner rips off their mask on election night and boom! New president!
MAGA voters actually love progressive policies. They just don’t know it. This would be great for Democrats.
When I look in the mirror I look like a ginger Ra's al Ghul. I blame grad school
Love this, I too want clothes like this
A krill is smoking a cigarette in one hand and drinking a pink cocktail in a martini glass in the other, wearing sunglasses, and says “the bastards don’t quit but neither do I”

With everything going on and being a 6th year PhD student this will not be my response to, "How are you doing?"
