It's like the current regime is looking for a way to eliminate vulnerable people from our population.

It's easier to repeat slogans than take the time to learn.

The state of academic research is really terrifying. Even when I was working on my published project, you pretty much had to know the outcome at the outset. There is no proving a hypothesis - you don't get funding without being at the end stage and working backward. It's a huge problem.

Easily one of the worst branding decisions of all time

Indicators like GDP, stock performance, and employment rates leave out the crucial detail of who is actually benefiting from those indicators. What is the SHARE of the growth that people getting?

Most Americans don't earn enough to afford basic costs of living, analysis finds The bottom 60% of U.S. households don't make enough money to afford a "minimal quality of life," according to a new analysis.

Tell me you've been actively ignoring the problem for decades without saying you've been actively ignoring the problem.

Call him what he is - emotionally stunted. And he's making that everyone else's problem.

It is vital that our public servants in government are able to do their work as far removed from politics and industry pressure as possible. It is also vital that the public respect and trust subject matter experts and that experts serve the public faithfully. Anti-intellectualism dooms us all.

Scientists just found a way to break through climate apathy In a field of muddy results, it's among the clearest findings that one cognitive scientist has seen in his career.

How we communicate science to the general public is just as important as the research we do.

The number one mistake people make is not taking him seriously. Are his ideas terrible? Insane? Evil? Of course, but he is deadly serious about them. Until he moves on to the next stupid thing.

Now if only the algorithms filtering candidates could do the same.

I'll say it again. He's a eugenicist.

It's a cult. It's not about logic.

I increased my monthly donation

When people try to make sense of his followers, I tell them not to bother. It's a cult.

Ignorance is bliss

I'm just going to assume you're referring to So I Married an Axe Murderer

I was raised Southern Baptist. In that religion, children are the punishment you bear for having sex. If sex doesn't have a punishment, then the world is chaos and society collapses. And they wonder why I'm an atheist now.

Since I was very young, I was told I would regret not having children and that I was selfish for not wanting them. I knew as a very young child I didn't want children of my own. I'm 40 now and that has never changed. I allowed for the possibility that I might change my mind, but I never did.

He's a eugenicist. They're all dangerous. I typically do not paint with broad brushes, but it is warranted in this case.

You should check out his other work. The colors are fabulous.

The lady at the frame shop had a lot of fun doing these. We love them and are rearranging some things in our living room so we can out them in there.
