Me: What's it like being a woman on the internet? Women:

he’s actually Hitler but people don’t care since his crimes aren’t against white people

Insane to think that all through the 90s we were told we absolutely had to let the Klan march in American cities to protect free speech and now they're withholding diplomas, firing people, imposing travel bans, qmd running weekslong smear campaigns for saying the word genocide.

Every data center story is like "town votes overwhelmingly against data center. Construction completed before announcement of vote"

Aposematism is there to warn off predators, not sexual partners. If you’re repelled by it, it’s working.

they've built concentration camps and i'm expected to act like it's a mere difference of political opinion

When the law applies only to those not in power, then you’re not being governed. You’re being ruled.

Remember that recent viral tweet that was like "environmentalism is conservative now", and every second headline since then is some variation of "republicans to allow national park to be reduced to smouldering wasteland"

Fixing up some trashed bikes in the shop. The latest one needs shifters and cables, so it's just a single speed till I get some parts.

Interesting that wage theft is never called a national crisis

This is what republicans do- Complain about oversight, get rid of regulations, ONLY to fuck things up because that oversight was there for a reason. Then of course they never take responsibility for the damage they cause to the American people.

The screwworm program wasn't charity, it was a $10 million fence that kept a billion-dollar problem from eating our own livestock alive. That's the thing with most USAID funding: it looks like "aid," but it's really cheap self-defense. Solve a problem there, and it never lands on our doorstep. But sure, let a bunch of guys who can't define DEI without Googling take a chainsaw to it. They didn't stop to ask, "Will this cut hurt us too?" Unless that's the point, burn it all down and call it efficiency. As usual our inept agriculture secretary, blaming the Biden administration as usual, instead of offering a solution to the problem they created. Texan here A screwworm infestation is a nightmare for cattle, causing horrific wounds and economic devastation. For Texas, the situation has escalated dramatically in the last 24 hours with the first confirmed case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in over 60 years! This could have been avoided! Infested animal can kill a cow in less than two weeks. Treatment is extremely difficult and time-consuming, requiring the painful removal of every visible larva and deep disinfection of the wound. Ranchers no longer have much experience with this labor-intensive process, and there is currently no approved pharmaceutical treatment to make it easier. This has triggered a massive economic threat. The USDA estimates that a widespread outbreak would drain an astonishing $1.8 billion from the Texas economy alone in livestock deaths, labor, and medication expenses. How will this affect you? Tightening supplies will drive already high beef prices higher.

Shut them all down, we can live without AI data centers we can’t live without clean water.

Thank you for the fun Wacom Wednesday! No art but we chatted concussions in birds, flies, and humans along with neuroprotective genetics! Thank you @Ashlee_FL @Hogan698 @sharkg33k @fischman001 @TehNessa @rhaco_dactylus @thecraftycub for the raids! We passed the love to @melzii!

So stop it maybe? Who are you warning? I can't do anything, YOU are the UN.

A woodpecker can hit a tree at roughly 1000 Gs of deceleration, and that should be catastrophic. So, what happens? #evolution #woodpecker #birdfacts #animalscience #evolutionarybiology
