“National security is not a blank check to proceed with otherwise unlawful activity”

Quote of the year?

MacFarlane: Are we to pretend we didn’t watch all that on television on January 6th? Did we not all see what happened at the Capitol?

These vacating of convictions, these pardons, are communicating to the American people: do not believe your lying eyes

Jackie Kennedy made the Rose Garden so beautiful. Sad that its been paved over

This.

Who did this one 😆😆😆

Lead in archived hair documents a decline in lead exposure to humans since the establishment of the US Environmental Protection Agency | PNAS Lead (Pb) is well known to be toxic to humans. We use archived hair from individuals living along the Wasatch Front in Utah to evaluate changes in ...

A century of hair samples shows how sharply lead exposure fell after modern environmental rules took hold in the US. A PNAS study found that current lead concentrations in hair from Utah’s Wasatch Front are almost 100 times lower than before the EPA was established. buff.ly/odLXa0j

It would be awesome to have these available in the US.

AcademicSky, looking for great reasons (for a family member) for leaving the workforce for two years to move to a different state and get a (funded) MA in Philosophy. The opportunity costs still seem high (lost wages and all that).

This put the fire back in my belly — thank you, Kevin!!!!!

"People want peace." It's that simple.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is.
This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple.
April 8. Never forget.

How is this even legal? (I know, there's something every day that I ask this about, but really?)

Please -- get on with it!

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

I went to renew my Domestika subscription -- until I saw it's going from $169 to $349 a year (!).

The additional $445 billion that Trump is now requesting for his war spending could pay for a year of health care for nearly 56 million Americans, a year of child care for 32 million children, or school lunches for 30 million children throughout their entire K-12 education.

Look how easy it is to be normal.

That introduction is one of the worst pieces of writing I have seen.

Not golfing today -- interesting.

The combination of eastern redbud and light spring green is probably my favorite color combo of the year.

The NSF 2027 budget has noted that they will close out the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Science Program (SBE). This is not a good thing. nsf-gov-resources.nsf.gov/files/FY-202...

Someone sent me this.

ACB: "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what about the Constitution?"

Kavanaugh questions why other countries' citizenship policies are relevant to US law, as the administration has argued.

Sauer is really starting to sound a little unhinged -- especially in comparison to Gorsuch, who's questioning him.

Roberts is really doubtful about the administration's arguments: he sniped at Sauer's trying to say the situation has changed w/r/t immigrants having children in the US that "it's the same Constitution."
