Advantages of following scientists:

* Learn cool stuff about the universe you live in!

* Hear passionate people obsess delightedly about their fascinating life’s work!

* Enjoy brutal meme-ified takedowns of bad science headlines!

Shameful. And apparently so many of the horses are regarded as "investments."
Money clouds people's judgment and many fine animals are first hurt and then destroyed.

Don’t be the same dusty ass you were on Twitter. Post your hobbies, your passions, talk with each other, follow people back. There is no reason for someone with like 78k followers to be following a handful of people. Don’t act like you’re an elitist dipshit here. We are nice here, to each other.

Conway: ‘Nothing surprising’ about Trump selecting Gaetz | CNN Politics CNN’s Kaitlan Collins speaks with attorney George Conway and CNN legal analysts Elie Honig and Elliot Williams about President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for attorney gen...

“So why not select a guy who has been loyal to him, who wants to seek revenge in the same way Donald Trump does, and who was accused of sex trafficking? He’s the perfect choice. So I don’t see why anyone’s surprised.” (2/2)

The front page of HuffPost shows an image of the Elmo on fire meme, with Matt Gaetz’s head photoshopped on Elmo. The best of my photoshop abilities.

Struggle with sleep? Here are some useful tips:

• Turn your phone off early
• Have a relaxing bath
• Open the window
• Help a raccoon climb through the window so you can watch NetFlix together
• This is a sleepover now
• Make popcorn for the raccoon
• Avoid caffeine

nobody knows what the role of speaker would have entailed but it doesn’t matter because as soon as one is selected, there is a new motion to vacate

the year is 2048
the house is once again in session for its only business, the daily reading of names and casting of one hundred ballots until a surprise person becomes speaker due to somebody leaving the room by mistake
yes there used to be another way but Republicans would not consider it

A signed and numbered print of the following cartoon:
Night.
A child reads under the covers with a torch.
Father: Ok, buddy. Time to stop reading.
Child: Why?
Father: we all like spending time in a fantasy world, but we need to sleep so that tomorrow we can go out and confront all the challenges that the real world throws at us. 
Child: Tomorrow sounds a lot less fun than staying up late reading a book.
CUT TO
They are both reading under the covers with the torch.
