Let the adventure begin

Haha 😅 I agree

Fun story, my cancer med, which ends in -mab is saving my life

I'm also deathly allergic to it

My docs figured out a way for me to tolerate it

Kalo Pascha! Happy Greek Easter

Unfortunately I had an abscess and an emergency tooth extraction a couple days ago (I can't catch a break). No lamb for me this year. But if you're celebrating enjoy

(Pic is a throwback to when I was in charge of the ASCSA Easter lamb roast in Athens)

I mean he's failing at what he promised to accomplished

He's certainly succeeding at enriching himself, his family, and his allies

Trump is a failed president

Inflation? Rising
Wars? Non-stop
Corruption? Rampant
Jobs? Fewer
GDP growth? Less
Gov't Shutdowns? More
Gas prices? High
Measles? Yes
Lies? Non-stop
Debt? Higher
Free speech? Not for woke
Epstein class? Free to molest
Is America Great? Not even close

Fuck this guy forever

We cannot risk the world nor the wellbeing of our nation any longer,” she wrote. “Whether by his Cabinet or Congress, the President must be removed from office. We are playing with the brink.”

Someone's having a good day

The Archaeologist, Atlantis, & the Aliens (with Dr. Flint Dibble) YouTube video by TheThinkingAtheist

Archeologist @flintdibble.bsky.social spoke about his guest shot on #joeroganexperience, and how Joe and the Bros soon mocked his pesky facts.

So much bad news for archaeology with the dissolution of the National Forest Service and the Division of Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Plus diverting millions from the National Endowment of the Humanities to build a stupid arch in DC

America is cooked

Why do cell phones & computers get smaller with time?

These people are braindead. We live in a technologically advanced society and don't use huge stones in construction. Smaller and simpler materials are more adaptable & efficient for construction

"... the treatment of heroes in the Iliad and the Odyssey is one of our earliest warnings against egoism and relying too much on ‘big men’. Each epic explains the separation between the worlds of gods and mortals and why heroes are also bad for us."

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

BTW, this has nothing to do with atheism. Seth has great questions about archaeology, and it's an outstanding listen.

MAGA Is Winning Its War Against U.S. Science When a political movement believes that ignorance is strength

The administration’s attack on science is both part of the backsliding of democracy in the US (& abroad) and the culmination of a decades-long attack on science because scientific evidence informs regulation that might impede profit & scientists tend to vote for Ds. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

If scientists continue to sit on the sidelines, afraid of being tainted by politics or harming public trust, we won’t have many scientists left for the public to mistrust.

3) Politics isn’t dirty. It is simply the process by which we make decisions about running the country. If we tell scientists, doctors, teachers, etc to stay out of politics and not get their hands “dirty,” who is left to run the country? And will we like the decisions they make?

I’ve been warned that by engaging in politics, I might undermine myself as a scientist. Or worse, reduce the trust that people have in me or scientists as a whole.

This latter point is the thesis of a recent article by Byron Hyde: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

I disagree for multiple reasons.

Unfortunately that is correct

No. It is who we are. And we should work to change that

What is wrong with using the same rhetoric as some of the worst countries in the world?

Thanks for your immensely unethical and tone deaf reply. Noted and discarded

US policy has always been nukes are there to deter others from using nukes. Anything else is being a warmongering asshole

It's one of the reasons so many presidential democracies have devolved into autocracies

Parliamentary democracies have a better set of checks and balances

There are checks, but since the Republicans control every branch of government, it's largely up to them to do something. And they're cowards
