Don't you love it when you're having a great morning drive to school and your toddler hits you with the "Dad when I become a grown up are you going to die?"

My dumb cat using my newborns lounger as his new bed

My cat has decided to take the baby lounger as his bed. Never mind that I've bought cat beds his entire life, none of which he used.

Stupid adorable cat.

Nope. She was talking about habitats and the train tracks a train's habitat. I told her she used the wrong word and all she said was "Okay. Do you know what infinity +100 is?"

5 year old: Do you want to ask me about the world?

Me: Sure, what can you tell me about trains?

5 y.o.: Oh that's a good question. Trains have enemies.

You know you're in Tucson when...

Measles Surge in Southwest Is Now the Largest Single Outbreak Since 2000 Growing case numbers suggest that the national total will surpass that seen during the last large outbreak in 2019.

“The spread of measles in the Southwest now constitutes the largest single outbreak since the United States declared the disease eliminated in 2000, federal scientists told state officials… the current tally is likely to be higher because it takes time for the agency to collate state reports.”

Figured I’d hop on here today for the 15th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

With everything going on right now, it’s easy to feel like regular folks can’t make a difference – but the ACA is a reminder that change is possible when we fight for progress.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

@bungiehelp.bungie.net Hey, is something going on with your servers?

Yeah because foodborne illnesses aren't ever a problem 🙄

Law & Order doesn't seem as poignant these days...

Image shows the JAMA brand logo with the quote, "The silencing of this scientific discourse directly threatens the professional oaths that many have taken." Below the quote, the text shows: "JAMA editors, JAMA Network Editors in Chief, and JAMA editorial leadership."

In a new Editorial, JAMA editors, JAMA Network Editors in Chief, and JAMA editorial leadership address the recent executive orders that have impacted the scientific process and reaffirm their commitment to scientific and editorial integrity.

Sounds like a "spirit of the law" argument. This will be challenged I hope

Google is so powerful that it "hides" other search systems from us. We just don't know the existence of most of them.
Meanwhile, there are still a huge number of excellent searchers in the world who specialize in books, science, other smart information.
