That is reassuring but sadly deflates my nonsensical fantasy of intrepid adventurers tracking down an octogenarian in the Panamanian jungle upon realizing they're the last living person with hands-on fly irradiation experience.

The good news is that releasing sterile males probably still works, and the bad news is they probably fired everyone who knew how to raise and irradiate them.

It's been a few years, but I can personally vouch for PRI as quite a cool place!

Posts like this delight me b/c it could be completely sincere or entirely the opposite and I wouldn't know the difference!

Arm's-length view of my lap from above featuring two black and white cats curled up asleep. The smaller one is on my lap and the larger one is on the couch cuddled up to my leg.

I am surround.

Can confirm Google Pay is fine!

I also invested years in other jobs where those aptitudes helped not at all and consider myself fortunate to have blundered bass-ackwards into a situation where I get paid for them.

As a fellow fast and good test taker, I will say that being able to a) quickly assess the desired response, b) retrieve information promptly, and c) avoid agonizing over (a) and (b) comes in handy pretty much constantly at my job. My job is pretty niche, though.

Go, Black, go!

I was proud to participate in the groundbreaking for Grace Manor in Chester after securing $1 million in Community Project Funding to support the project.

Ok I’m bringing the baby Great Egret floofs out of the “emergency cute” archive.

We gotta get people back into reading the whole story

A lot of people think of moderators as eldritch entities that are bound to the exact words of the spell and if you don't speak the exact words, you cannot be moderated! Whereas in reality it's a bunch of very tired and overworked people going "are you fucking kidding me with this shit"

I choose to read it as "farthest-from-cool demographic has proven surprisingly badass."

I assume there are clinical scenarios in which the degree of biological impropriety is relevant, but I bet those conversations don't start with, "Actually...."

Started watching MURDERBOT and now I don't wanna go to work, I just want to watch MURDERBOT, which is pretty much the plot of MURDERBOT.

Babies need to eat even if DC politicians are too busy playing partisan games or refusing to come to work instead of ending a government shutdown.

I introduced an amendment to make WIC a mandatory funding program, to guarantee no baby goes hungry.

Every Republican in the Rules Committee voted no.

Repost with an iconic fictional band:

This is my thing. Like, okay, whatever, maybe Dr. Strange showed up and said in that in all the timelines there wasn't one where the shutdown worked out. There were still much better ways to frame this.

This little stinker is _determined _ that this big stinker gets no personal space. NB: This is emphatically not "I love you and want to snuggle with you." It is 100% "That must be the good spot, shove over."

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?

What we're watching: A new take on "Frankenstein," a lavish legal drama starring Kim Kardashian and a Tracy Morgan-led spinoff.

I’m at the Delco emergency food drive.

The White House may not get it, but Delco does!

People started lining up to drop off food at 7 a.m.

The drive is open at 1797 Sproul Road from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m. today.

Neighbors helping neighbors.

The problem with scammers and loneliness these days is that everything is digital, so the scammer never gets the chance to fall in love with a plucky local librarian and change his wicked ways. And forget about the implications of not even having to buy a bunch of marching band instruments.

Did women ruin the workplace?

I am up to 4, and 3 of them just showed up in the neighborhood in various degrees of distress.

Still giggling at all the people looking at the five NYC boroughs election map and going "HEY I READ ABOUT THIS IN THE CITY WE BECAME"

Yes that includes me. I'm people too.

Wrong on so many levels…..
