Heavily Into The World Of Magnets

yes! that is when I was a junior in high school.

My daughter reported that the ICE presence outside her school during recess last week involved ICE officers sitting IN AN ICE CREAM TRUCK. And this wasn't kids misinterpreting. We had an email from the school the day it happened; we just didn't get the ice cream detail in the email.

This has to be one of the best tree trunks of all time.

oh yeah no i'm not THAT old c'mon

some of us remember Katrina (I know it was only like $3/gal then but that felt like a lot 20 yrs ago, especially considering it was occasionally less than $1/gal when I was in high school)

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.

Often in a poor job market, college grads will choose to continue their education into grad school.

But with federal funding being gutted, a lot of grad programs are recruiting fewer students, or none at all. Leaving less opportunity for our young adults and putting more pressure on the job market.

Measles worse than expected

The trip was to santa cruz island to see the santa cruz island scrub jay and my tour leader was very frustrated that a bunch of us were instead obsessed with the santa cruz island fox, who is the size of a housecat and absolutely EVERYWHERE and can you blame me really

Biotech investor set to lead US National Science Foundation If confirmed by the US Senate, Jim O'Neill would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead the agency, a big funder of US basic research.

O'Neill, an investor in anti-aging technology who worked on HHS policy, would be the first non-scientist or engineer to lead NSF. His background will be a 'major concern' to the science and technology community, former NSF director Neal Lane told me.

idk maybe we should like, get our intel from multiple sources! just a thought!

The person using the AI tool is responsible for the AI tool's outputs. Whoever authorized the use of the tool here committed a war crime. It doesn't matter if they didn't actively choose the target. You are responsible.

Same in every other use of this technology. It doesn't remove responsibility.

spring time!!

If you stand next to a scientist for too long they *will* tell you everything they study

i actually like it because like, things happen and then they go away. people become a main character but for like 2 hours, and then the thread goes away. it's fine. subscribe to apple news or whatever if you want algorithmic news.

I fucking hate proline so fucking much it's the worst amino acid it's so fucking stupid it's incapable of being fucking normal so it forms an ugly ass ring with itself with its own fucking nitrogen cuz it's a loser fucking amino acid I hate it so much I'd rather cut off my right tit than have to ever draw a mechanism with proline ever again

Remember that everyone you meet is fighting their own battle, sometimes with amino acids

my mom had an ENORMOUS euphorbia trigona that was at least 7 ft tall. when it outgrew our house we transported it to my dad's bike shop by using an old door as a "stretcher" lol. I am not sure what happened to it when my dad sold the shop, but I didn't have room for a 7 ft plant when i was 25...

Gorgeous! Hoya flowers are the best, and good ol' carnosa is still such a great plant. Love crown of thorns, what a beautiful weirdo.

Photo of plants in a window, a globular flower with many small white and red flowers, and a thorny plant with pink flowers.

My less fancy hoya and euphorbia also flowering in my office right now!
