Sure this can happen in the People’s Socialist Republic of Fayetteville but what about real America?

Breaking: Arkansas Democrats just flipped a Republican seat It's the ninth red-to-blue pickup in a special election in Trump's second term

JUST IN: Democrat Alex Holladay has flipped a GOP-held seat in *Arkansas*.

Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders tried hard to delay this race and wanted the seat to stay vacant for 8+ months, but the courts told her to hold it today. If she was worried, she was right to be.

Stony CoralTissue Loss Disease and bleaching have been a 1-2 punch for Caribbean corals. SCTLD kills the brains and pillars while bleaching gets the elk- and staghorn and lettuce corals. I haven't seen a live pillar coral since 2021 and the boulders are probably at 30% of their original cover.

Well it turns out I never had chicken pox as a kid

I just wrote a newsletter, and its main message is that you should go follow @jacquelyngill.bsky.social if you love learning sciencey stuff that makes you go WOW.

As an example: go find out what a Tully Monster is. Do it NOW.

So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.**

I have lived abroad since 2013 and have voted in every election since then. As written, this effectively ends my right to vote

Today's haul 🐓

You have always got to be ready with these kids, and the questions are never in your area of expertise. I tried to explain the scientific method to my kid on the way to school and he stuck his head out the window

Se llama Eva Ramón Gallegos y es la científica mexicana que ha conseguido eliminar el virus del papiloma humano, causante de más de 300.000 muertes en el mundo anualmente. Demostrado con personas, no ratones. Ahora preguntaros por qué sabemos de Barbacid y no de esta mujer.

At dinner my kid just straight up asked me what happens to water. No context, and he got mad when I asked clarifying questions. Turns out he meant after you swallow it, and specifically why it goes so bad after you drink it. Kids think deep, man.

We found a 4th egg in #kakapo Waikawa's nest yesterday and found it was fertile. Waikawa has maintained her incredible 100% fertility record: 5 clutches of 4 fertile eggs in 4 breeding seasons. That's unmatched by any other kākāpō. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Not booing enough

Can confirm the new Muppet Show was delightful, and hit on all the right levels. It was nostalgic for us, and the kiddo loved the music numbers and had a few belly laughs (and recounted a scene for his friend on the way to school). Actual adult humor in a family show! What a concept.
