😂😂 I'm with Jessie. More booze maybe?

Since I read "Genentech: The beginnings of biotech" I've been craving more non-fiction about slices of scientific history.

Anyone have book recommendations?

The more detailed and specific the topic, the better! Thanks!

I had to sign an "I promise I won't boycott Israel" contract for employment way back in the Year of Our Lord 2000, because my then-employer received federal funds.

It's not a conspiracy, our government is just Zionist. And it has been for longer than most people have been paying attention.

A collection of Detox Doodles!

I've developed the habit of daily sketching to help replace mindless scrolling!

A photograph of a forest, the center clearing is full of fluffy, cool looking ferns

A leaf, shining sunlight through its brittle orange surface, is held up in front of a fern filled forest background

A path through the forest is lit from the back by a ray of bright sunlight.

What radicalized you? I'll go first:

This feels really important

This information has rocked my world.

So when I was a kid and we went "gimme five, up high, down low, too slow," the high five part was not even a decade old?

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.

Good morning from Nova Scotia. I hope you get outside and see something beautiful today.

It was midnight, the other hotel in town didn't accept pets. The desk gal called over, found us a room, and sent us. "They have vacancy!It's on the left, last place before you leave town. You can't miss it."

YOU CANT MISS IT. 😂😂😂

Haha, yes, The Clown Motel.

We stayed the first time back in 2002 on accident, lol. It was ... surprising.

A painting of clowns escaping from a box, while the clown opening the box looks surprised.

I had to go double check signatures, but it's definitely by the same artist as this piece in The Clown Motel. I was wondering why this random clown art was looking so familiar, lol

Oh my gawd, I took this picture of one of his pieces at The Clown Motel in 2019!!

Two children, one a bit larger than the other, are both at the same time wearing an oversized T-shirt that says "Get Along Shirt." The children look distressed and are not "getting along."

Reminds me of:

Last January, someone broke into FBI storage at Camp Bonneville. Why is the FBI allowed to keep stuff virtually unsecured at a remote location, especially when their use contract has expired as of 2024?

The thief "bypassed" a fence and a padlock. It wasn't rocket science or Mission Impossible here.

A hand holding a phone, on the screen is the call screening feature from Google. It shows a transcript of the conversation between the caller and the pixel assistant.

More info in a video for those who haven't used it.

This is one of the least talked about but best benefits of having a Pixel phone. I haven't talked to a telemarketer or scammer in literally years? If I don't know who's calling, one touch has Pixel screening it with google assistant, and you can see their conversation in real time on the screen.
