Meet three scientists who said no to Epstein The warning signs included a web search, a mother’s doubts, and inklings of a “sexist attitude”

How did these men know to stay away from Epstein? One googled him, one asked his mom for advice, and one actually listened to what Epstein said to him and quickly realized he was a witless misogynist.

It wasn't that hard, and every scientist who claims they didn't know is either lying or stupid.

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

He looks so expressive, I took it for a SNL sketch at first. Joyous that it is real.

You crochet. They crochet. And then this lady takes it to the next level.. 😯

Months later, I am still thinking about it. So good.

This was Alex Pretti at work at the VA honoring a veteran who had passed.

This is who they're trying to falsely smear as a terrorist and assassin.

I finally finished this Enterprise D LCARS cross stitch! Was supposed to take about a year, but longcovid had other plans for my brain and ability to count. So it's been over four years instead. It has a bazillion-jillion stitches in it.

It has been fun to get these in mail and pour over them.

...or it represents another fruit entirely?

That day and age, it's also where you pick up poisons for insects, mice, and rats.

I am in awe.

I learned there are training programs for how to identify and rigorously document war crimes so that they are admissible as evidence. That was new info to me.

I love that no border look!

I feel like when this movie first came out, they advertised it like a silly Tim Allen movie. Then my dad and I watched it on a plane a few months later, and we were both blown away. My dad’s not a big movie fan, but he spent the next few weeks telling everybody how great it was. I am, and so did I!

Gen "AI" doesn't make it past the resume stage, much less to interview and hiring. I'd never hire someone like that; why would I waste my time and resources on something that doesn't meet basic standards? Knowing ahead of time that I would have to re-do and recheck all its inconsistent work?

I, and others, clamor for other tools that we do need and want but are not met such as better indexes and intentional archiving. I don't need plausible sounding and hallucinatory output from plagiarism machines. If I had a human assistant that was so-so, lied, and stole, I'd fire them.

My 14-yo-son has recreated the climax of Back to the Future in gingerbread and I thought you should know.

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?"

Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Thanks!

I have never had fresh crumpets. Sounds amazing. Can you share the amounts for the above?

That’s where salt boxes come in. They help residents treat tricky streets during snow and ice so everyone can get around more safely ❄️🛣️

Maybe they are related to this layout person? Never thought 💭 to investigate layout before buying a book before; this cured me of that folly.
