One of the most beautiful automobiles ever created, evocative of the racing cars of the 1960s.
And it’s been modified in a tasteful way that likely could not be done today.
What a gorgeous thing.

I know peeps who joined the military to get away from where they were.
Peeps who joined to pay for medical school.
Peeps who joined because service is a tradition in their families.
Peeps who joined because they wanted to serve a country out of a desire to give back.
Peeps who…
Personal news update: I'm delighted to announce that as of today, I am an actual Bluesky employee! I'll be working to welcome indie media and local govt to Bsky—and supporting those already here.
I'll always want to hear your thoughts on how we can make Bsky the sort of social media we all want!

Before today, no F-15 had been shot down in more than 35 years — since January 19, 1991, during the Persian Gulf War.
Before today, the U.S. had never had more than one aircraft shot down by friendly fire in a single day, let alone three.
Absolute truth.

Just had a meeting with another colleague who is leaving the United States for Canada because of the political and science climate here.
This is just devastating for science in America, but I totally understand.
75% of shrimp & 60% of oysters consumed in the US come from the Gulf of Mexico. These are filter-feeding animals, so whatever gets dumped in the water ends up in the food supply.

🌕➡️🔴 Lunar eclipse alert!
Depending on where you are (mostly: Central/Eastern Asia, Oceania, most of North/Central America), you may be able to see a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE ("blood moon") overnight!

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Of course, laws protecting prisoners in medical experiments could be gamed, or the administration could deny that they’re doing experiments. Germany had excellent rules about human experimentation on their books in Nazi times.

The place is Das Gräberfeld X eine Gedenkstätte, a memorial to those the Nazi’s “othered” and criminalized for mental illness, Jewishness, and disability.
They often murdered them to use as specimens to train medical students and physicians.
