While this country is destroying nations and people, trying to be a target for war due to a raving fucking lunatic, I’m headed off to immerse myself in the #Paleozoic era.

He’s not really an outlier. He just happens to be the current president voted in office w/ lots of publicity. Lack of accountability has been a growing barrel of rotten apples for many years in all sectors of society.

This πŸ’―. In fact, it is a major factor for many years of why we are where we are right now. It is also a sour fact throughout our society, down to the bottom of the pyramid. Accountability has been going the way of the dinosaur extinction.

What my cave stay taught me about sensors Five days isolated in complete darkness retunes the senses. Scientist Kiana Aran explains how sensors help to share the sensations with others.

I would so love to do this. Reminds me telling colleague & wght training partner one day (1996) while doing squat sets of wanting sensors to track hormones, glucose, heart rate, brain activity b4, during & post-training session.

Bigger question: why do most #Tetrapods have five digits?

Rational solution: let kids decide but have an agreed upon list of what NOT to wear.

A highlight for me: holding and banding a cinnamon teal.

Visit Bosque del Apache NWR in Socorro, NM, during winter. Snow geese make the sky all white at dawn & dusk. More SH cranes & geese than you can imagine. Sunrises are also incredible (saw lots of them banding ducks @ pre-dawn).

Learning the history of TX explained A LOT. Even Larry McMurtry (born & raised in TX) disliked TX. Said once in an interview TX will never let go of their myths and Texans truly believe it/they are the β€œlast frontier”. Even if it destroys them.

Repeatedly said before #OrangeHair sat in Office, Am citizens will be killed by his denizens, like Kent State.

George Carlin on Euphemisms

A rose is a rose.
Aka a pretty overly-fragrant flower on a painful thorny stem and plant that is also a pain to grow.
Euphemisms are about the same. A pain in the arse.

Seriously, call the HELP committee members and your own two Senators to tell them to sink this nomination. When I say Means is bad news, I mean *really bad.*

Tr*mp’s disregard for science and health of American people is obvious. It’s part of his ( & sycophants) pathology. Also legitimizing it for those who want to take advantage of that for their own selfish/sadistic means at all levels of our society.

The β€œ #Bogner Files”.
Shame that scientific life-valuable data/information is in similar bad-actor boat as the Epstein files.
Hoping that scientists and capable agency quickly resolve this so good science can move on unhindered. Lives depend on it.

Sadly, all this ( #GISAID) is
like a scientific version of the β€œEpstein files” w/ scientific data being hidden/β€˜trafficked’/held hostage/etc. The β€œBogner Files”? All members of the GISAID science advisory council & compliance board approve of this? Or just another β€˜good ol’ boys’ club?

That is so awful and absolutely inexcusable. Every day I feel embarrassment to be an 'American'.
When asked I say I'm a 'Pangean'.
Still wear the shirt.... 😏
