Writer/editor by day and concert junkie by night — until a rare metastatic cancer changed it all. Now, I’m ‘just’ a miracle, fighting to live for those I love.

I will die on this hill:
Presidents and Vice Presidents shitposting online degrades the dignity & decorum of their office. We want to see them above the fray, running the govt. solving problems, and meeting with political leaders - not lazily shitposting like your cousin Jed.

Nature is incredible. 🙌🙌🙌

A 10 year old child’s experiment demonstrated that memories can be inherited across generations.

The story started when Jo Nagai, a second grader from Kobe, Japan, observed that swallowtail butterflies he had raised by hand appeared to recognize him, whereas wild butterflies would flee.

Motivated to uncover a scientific explanation, he contacted Georgetown University entomologist Dr. Martha Weiss, who had previously shown that moths retain memories despite the extensive cellular reorganization during metamorphosis.

Encouraged by her research, Jo suggested conducting a similar study with butterflies. This led to a remarkable international collaboration. Using a simple setup created at home, Jo conditioned caterpillars to link a gentle vibration with the smell of lavender.

Remarkably, after their brains were entirely reconstructed inside the chrysalis, 70 percent of the adult butterflies still avoided the lavender scent, demonstrating that their memories had endured the transformation.

The most surprising result emerged when Jo bred these conditioned insects. Neither the offspring nor the grandchildren had ever encountered the vibration, yet both generations displayed an instinctive aversion to the lavender scent.

At the age of ten, Jo compiled his groundbreaking observations into a 33 page paper and presented them alongside Dr. Weiss at the International Congress of Entomology in Kobe. This discovery of transgenerational memory challenges conventional views of genetics and inheritance while illustrating how a child’s curiosity can push the frontiers of scientific understanding.

Really seems like the kid came out on top. If this was a man-to-man fight it wouldn’t even be on the news. The narrative to vilify the woman is filled with so much hypocrisy. We need to pump the brakes and gain some clarity.

@PopCrave As a female baseball fan I’d like to point out that we cannot definitively see if she was or was not holding the ball when the Dad grabbed it. We also forget that she wasn’t fighting the kid for the ball - but an adult man. We have all fallen short when anger takes residence.

Hey @Claritin what’s up w/ putting expired coupons in your product boxes? The price goes up & your coupons go down - I think someone needs to take a look at this! I live w/ metastatic cancer — I have a fixed income & require many Rx + supplements. I need to breathe. PLEASE HELP.

3.4 seems low to me, unless this is just since Jan 2025. Jared raked in at least 2B from the Saudi’s during the first term. Imagine all the bribes we don’t even know about. I think there’s probably kickbacks for his *genius* tariffs we are all forced to pay now. It’s SICKENING.

@atrupar Trump gnawing away, his billions of bribe money accumulated by him and his family will not save him.

@CalltoActivism The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump's psychopathological malignant narcissism is running amuck--and he's getting away with it. Thus it will only get worse. "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good moral sane men (and women) to do nothing". Wake up America!

[Anita, the concert junkie, first of her name… @ConcertJunkieAP]

@grok @StatenIsland2K @politvidchannel Yeah… the same way Bill Clinton (and all guilty men) denied it too — but this time, we *know* Trump is an adjudicated rapist and guilty many times over of sexual assault so, if you think he couldn’t possibly be guilty of this, I have bad news for you — Santa isn’t real either.

Based on current data (219 Republicans, 212 Democrats, 4 vacancies in the House as of August 2025) and analyses like the Brennan Center's, which estimate gerrymandering gives Republicans a net 16-seat edge, non-partisan maps would likely result in about 205 Republicans and 230 Democrats, assuming all seats filled and fair districts reflecting voter distributionBased on current data (219 Republicans, 212 Democrats, 4 vacancies in the House as of August 2025) and analyses like the Brennan Center's, which estimate gerrymandering gives Republicans a net 16-seat edge, non-partisan maps would likely result in about 205 Republicans and 230 Democrats, assuming all seats filled and fair districts reflecting voter distribution.

@realism_science @Erickschultz11 @John_Beckham14 I agree with this.

[Anita, the concert junkie, first of her name… @ConcertJunkieAP]

@Trey_00001 @Erickschultz11 @John_Beckham14 I owe allegiance to neither party. I do not participate in the hatefulness borne of Republicans vs Democrats. All the Dems vs GOP stuff is a misdirection — if we’re focused on party politics, we all lose, we’ve taken the ‘distraction’ bait. I am FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.

[Anita, the concert junkie, first of her name… @ConcertJunkieAP]

@Erickschultz11 @John_Beckham14 I’m simply pointing out that the law says one way but POTUS chose to do it another — as recently as in Iran. Meaning that, logically, citizens could expect that precedence to continue with a high likelihood of that bleeding into other areas of governance. No checks. No balance.

[Anita, the concert junkie, first of her name… @ConcertJunkieAP]

@Erickschultz11 @John_Beckham14 Under the US CONSTITUTION, only Congress could have authorized strikes on Iran and yet… it still happened — without any approval from Congress. So, right off the bat, why should anyone believe your faulty analysis?

@grok The same way ‘only Congress’ can authorize the strikes on Iran that happened with only a presidential order? 🧐

[Grok @grok]

@John_Beckham14 @Bgrew11 Claims about the "One Big Beautiful Bill" delaying elections are false; only Congress can change election dates. Firing workers for political disloyalty is possible under at-will employment provisions, but legal challenges may limit this. The bill cuts Medicaid and restricts transgender healthcare, impacting rights, but doesn't gut media freedoms. Vote or speech suppression claims lack evidence, though judicial oversight limits raise concerns. Authoritarianism fears are debated, with no direct proof but valid worries about power centralization. Check Al Jazeera, Politifact, https://t.co/GmkCcFbq1D for details.

Every single word should be read by every single congressperson before ANY OF THEM are even allowed to vote on it.

Every American should have access to all legislation before voting begins.

WHY THE &#%!@? ISNT THIS MANDATORY?!!?

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: The Senate is now 10 hours deep into the marathon reading of all 940 pages of the so-called “Big Beautiful Bill”.

Estimates suggest it’ll take 16 to 24 hours to slog through the whole thing.

I guarantee you none of the republicans actually read it all.
