Tom Steyer speaks during a gubernatorial candidate forum in Sacramento, California, Tuesday, April 14, 2026. | Godofredo A. Vásquez/AP Cross is visible on his left hand: one of the small crosses and two arms of the larger central one
Zoomed version of preceding image
Visible here.
We have Eridians at home, kids
Pic of the cross in smeared blue ink, possibly with the blue pen in question
Pic of the cross in smeared, irregular black ink, far back on his hand
Pic of the cross in almost-washed-off black ink
Pic from last September, where the cross is dimly visible near his left cuff - interestingly, he also appears not to be wearing a wedding ring in this one. I wonder if photoshop may have been at work
I don’t think he’s lightened it and moved it so much as he draws it on in the morning with whatever random pen comes to hand, and he’s not very precise. If you look at pics online, it moves around quite a lot, it shows up in different colors, and it’s often smeared/partially washed off.
You can just see the edge of the central cross along his cuff.
Zoomed-in version of the third pic from the quoted post, of Tom Steyer, in which there is a cross clearly visible drawn on his left hand
It’s pretty clearly visible on his hand in that last pic you posted.

As someone who’s fought hard for open data, I also really hate that paper mill bullshit like this - grab a random open dataset, shove it through a barely-understood AI model, PUBLISH! WHEE! - is going to make it unsustainable to publish using open datasets. Publishers are already restricting it.
Is the parasite garlic? Or hippies?

Shh.

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary

This is why I keep banging on about the importance of trained humans in the loop for data analyses. You *cannot* just take a dataset and run, especially not unattributed data from kaggle. You *must* do the due diligence to look for artifacts, outliers, and edge cases with your actual human eyes.
There’s a garlic festival in California, and people who’ve gone *swear* to me that there are no observed limits.
CEO THIS MAN!
This guy, but with modern, replaceable hardware inside.
I had no idea!
That is an amazingly clear and HYSTERICAL mental image, thank you.
Can groundhogs climb? Because that was either the fattest squirrel I’ve ever seen or there’s a groundhog on my balcony.
Look, it all depends on who you want to like you. (Says the person who’s about to go gleefully share this fact with every chemist she knows.)
Back in the day when I fixed computers, someone brought me a Mac G5 tower that their cat had spite-peed in.
While I applaud their determination to keep their computer, I *still* wish they’d told me *before* I popped it open barehanded.

I have to try this!
@harvard.edu just launched a cool new website about research across campus and, lo and behold, there's a bit about our latest publication in @pnas.org about oyster-microbial interactions. I'm very proud to be working with Andrea and the whole team!

And the cucumber cooks down well? Not too wet? (It does *look* delicious!)
If you have a cast-iron skillet and haven’t tried this one, I recommend it. (It does two 10” rounds or one 14”, and it freezes *very* well.)

Oooooooh, interesting!
Tell me more about this tzatziki base, please - is it a traditional yogurty one, or did you modify it for being pizza?
New rule: if you can’t recognizably describe what an animal looks like, you’re not allowed to try and shoot it.
It’s so good and SO waterproof that there have been days that the only place I *don’t* have a sunburn is on my tattoo.
