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.

In life, as in writing, setting goals is important. You are a champion!

Why does Joe Scarborough invite guests? He doesnโ€™t let them speak.

At what point does โ€œignorance is not an excuseโ€ kick in?

I watch few movies multiple times. That is one I will watch again and again.

The maskholery in these dopes is strong. They wear neck gators and donโ€™t cover their noses. Iโ€™ll bet they only sing HBD once while washing their hands too!

If youโ€™re flying and see a TSA officer, thank them, say โ€œ hang in thereโ€ and tell them you appreciate their service. They deserve the respect!

Occasionally he pretends to be a journalist, which he is not, and doesnโ€™t let interviewees dance around questions. This is when he is good. Most of the time heโ€™s news entertainment, just paraphrasing the authentic insights of more qualified experts.

This is his โ€œconcept of a planโ€ for healthcare that he promised in the debate. He lost that debate bigly.

I almost never video or photograph a moment anymore. Iโ€™d rather live in it. I also know someone else is probably recording so if I want it, itโ€™s easy to get.

As a recovering Downton Abbey fan, I canโ€™t stop imagining the conversation between Kate and William in their changing quarters after experiencing this catastrophe.

Thanks to you, I just spent 10 satisfying minutes unsubscribing!

Yes! But what surprises me is that I, Joe Public, thought of this immediately but the pundit class took the bait and โ€œdug deeperโ€. Is memory that short or is hypocrisy just a given.

Iโ€™m enjoying it here more than the other place. That said, the lack of punctuation does my brain in sometimes. At a very minimum, put a little dot between sentences. #yesimold #collegewithatypewriter

Today I took my kid to the bus stop. I didnโ€™t even need help from the National Guard.

Why is MAGA so consumed by genitalia? How does the way someone urinate make their lives worse?

It would also commit them to believing the evidence. Thatโ€™s a slippery slope for them.

China replaced the soldiers in Tianamen Square with troops from other provinces so they wouldnโ€™t fear attacking their โ€œown.โ€

I donโ€™t know why Scarborough even has guests. He asks questions and then tries to answer them himself. If he allows someone else to answer, he repeats what they say and claims it as his own. #knowyourvalue

A constant theme in The Art of the Deal is how to use Other Peopleโ€™s Money. It even got an acronym OPM. Itโ€™s clear the grifter and cheat still follows this from campaign donors, email appeals, DB, to oligarchs. The only thing he ever paid for personally was an NYT ad for the Central Park 5.
