I seek the human side of science. Ask me about crop wild relatives, bread baking, Service Above Self or travel. I suffer fools for I am one. Oxford comma is overrated.

I think it’s because those people had shit on an illegal war or something. Just like with Epstein files, hide or destroy the evidence.

Exactly, that’s not insurance, by definition. It’s reimbursement.

The Epstein Class gets to testify behind closed doors. Isn’t this Our Country? Why can’t this be public?

If you own flannel and don’t know what a splitting maul is you’re an imposter. Hybrid axes are more efficient, IMHO.

I think you changed my mind. The 2015 WHO IARC study was fraught with controversy. It seemed to me like much of the opposition to glyphosate was driven by ideological anti-science groups. This paper looks sound. It’s going to be a big blow to farmers because glyphosate is an effective herbicide.

Members of Congress attending SOTU please consider some creative signs to hold up. Consider: Was that a sentence? Or Please speak English! Or Was that a dog whistle? Perhaps, I’m surprised you’re still awake. Among other.

When he says this, could someone in shouting distance ask β€œWhat authority has exonerated you?”

First Minneapolis and now Syria. At least there are fewer troops in Syria so it should go smoothly.

His real estate background allows so many to live in his head. His record of business failures allows them to live there rent free.

Never a good move to make an American sports analogy to an international audience. Hopefully this hits it out of the park.

I agree completely. Congress could remedy absolute immunity, emoluments, Citizens United for a start.

Even if the polls needed security, ICE does not have the authority to protect them. This is right out of Praetorian guard play book.

Isn’t Carrier the company from Indiana that moved production to Mexico in 2016?

I’ve been following you for four or five years and you are starting to make sense. I might read your book.

In this upside down world, last night’s @60minutes.bsky.social was essentially @peoplemag.bsky.social when last week @peoplemag.bsky.social reported like @60minutes.bsky.social used to do.

I think this will be powerfully. Or just boycott the matches in the US. Or move them to Mexico and Canada.

According to the International Potato Center they are high in beta carotene which supports the absorption of Vitamin A. Also antioxidants. Technically they are a storage root and not a tuber/potato, despite the name. TMYK

My last chiropractor asked where I bought my health insurance. When I said Obama Care, he said, β€œI can’t abide by that system.” He bought into a Christian group insurance group and felt it was inadequate. FFWD a couple of months he asked for the website. He was thrilled by price and coverage.

A broken window. A smashed rear bumper. When ICE uses a wrecking ball to kidnap, who pays for the damage? Sorry, there are bigger issues at play but this has to weigh on these victims too.

Let’s be clear, InfoWars were the first to be anti-Ice. Their ilk marched through my neighborhood in 2020 posting stickers on any smooth surface and abolish ICE was one of them.

This is according to a market analyst. People! AI might be making some rich but the uncertainty in the market for manufacturing will affect us all … soon! How is America Great? Again?

Pharmaceutical manufacturers are not investing in facilities or equipment to produce products in the USA due to the chaotic market environment. This means little to consumers now but a year from now it will impact supply and increase prices for existing drugs AND stop the production of new ones.
