Raising a daughter, advocating for scientists, writing about food, blabbering on about Oregon

[U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. @SenBillCassidy]

A terrible outcome from RFK and others promoting vaccine skepticism.

sorry, the Republican candidate's last name is what??

I was going to call this dumb, but former NTSB board member John Goglia just texted me and told me to reply with this instead:

The issue raised in The Rehearsal is whether the authority gradient affects copilots' willingness to assert themselves at critical junctures and captains' willingness to hear copilots in those moments.

Neither the question nor the answer dealt with this well-recognized cockpit issue. Nor the NTSB's analysis of the issue of what was lacking in current training and its recommendation of role-playing to ameliorate this situation.

Dude I was peak brainwashed. I thought COVID was real, Russia attacked Ukraine, and ants were not spying on me (they have antennae for a reason…)

[David Sacks @DavidSacks]

People seem to need a hysteria. We pivoted right from Covid-is-going-to-kill-everyone to Russia-is-going-to-conquer-all-of-Europe. Total nonsense. Eventually the light bulb will turn on and you’ll see how brainwashed you were.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Again: what’s the vision here?

We’re slashing NIH and NSF so … what? Basic health research is some of the best bang for buck in govt. And it can be much, much better than status quo.

What’s the plan to supercharge American science to usher in our “golden age”? Where is it??

[Jacob @jakeshoe]

Absolutely everyone should watch this. ⁦@ariellesophia⁩ is an incredibly articulate spokesperson for herself and gives a voice to the many talented and dedicated federal government employees who were fired without cause. https://t.co/6VYdVE84U7

I wish I had a mortgage so I could take out a second mortgage to buy one dozen #eggs

Sir, if LeBron James and Steph Curry were to team up, they would never score a point on you

Trump: "The day before I heard the word 'covid' or 'pandemic,' I had a meeting with political people and pollsters and they said, 'Sir, if George Washington and Abraham Lincoln got together and ran as president and VP, they couldn't beat you.'"

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

Let’s remember David Lynch, explaining on why he told stories the way he did.

And we are back! I will give my x earnings to someone who reposts this message and follows this account. Will pick a winner at random on Sunday am. Good luck!! 😀

@SeanFennessey @TheBigPic I know the Academy doesn’t love body horror, but how does The Substance not crack the top 26?

"Sir, Dallas leads 39-21 early in the 2nd quarter. The Celtics may not join your recently created 80 wins with 20 or less losses club"

[Sam Vecenie @Sam_Vecenie]

It’s truthfully an all time moment. We need Barkley on TV. Someone figure it out.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

Where I’ve landed

1. Grocery inflation sucks.
2. Interest rates are high.
3. Telling people “the economy is better than your experience of it” is a waste of time
4. But … Unemployment is low, real wages are growing
5. And the natl economy really is better than ppl think —>

[Prof. Akiko Iwasaki @VirusesImmunity]

Please help spread the word about our #MECFS study with @PutrinoLab 👇🏼 thank you 🙏🏼

[Kevin Clark @bykevinclark]

Keenan Allen’s wiki has a bit about him going on Masked Singer and I’m significantly more confused about what that show is than I was two minutes ago.

[Jacob @jakeshoe]

People give him a hard time but I truly thought this was Usher upon first glance

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

What is Trump doing here?

[Ballsack Sports @BallsackSports]

Max Strus with one of the greatest shooting sequences of all time. As clutch as it gets.

[Variety @Variety]

Nick Offerman won a Spirit Award for #TheLastOfUs and used his acceptance speech to slam the toxic backlash to his episode.

"When homophobic hate comes my way and says, ‘Why did you have to make it a gay story?’ We say, ‘Because you ask questions like that. It’s not a gay story. It’s a love story, you asshole!”

Today I noticed that the Folger's Shakespeare Library softcovers look suspiciously like cans of LaCroix. Here is a 🧵of pairings, starting with A Midsummer Night's Dream and a lovely can of fizzy lemon water.
