#TeamRousseau all the way; toxic individualism is corrosive and anti-community.

They're tearing Goddard apart for scraps and I'm supposed to write as many proposals as I can to scramble for a fraction of the money NASA has left? Depressing, degrading, and dehumanizing in a time when the future of planetary science can be measured in the number of people it leaves behind.

True; I’m a big fan of bike lanes AND getting people to stop riding on the sidewalks.

They should make it a pontoon pump house with a bar. The possibilities are endless.

Walking down to the river’s edge from Prince Street tonight might be much shorter walk.

You’re a doofus if you don’t know that she can’t talk about current legal proceedings. You’re not a reporter, are you?

These shitbirds should be given community service. BTW, this is west of Old Town; check your maps.

This was excellent, and I’m finding Krugman’s newsletter is amazingly educational; the interviews yield so much intel, that I feel like a student again.

Too bad they had to lose a truly transformational president, Jim Ryan, before UVA found its balls (speaking as a MWC of UVA girl).

Looks like @utaustin.bsky.social is now ranked #1 in the competitive obsequiousness category.

Love this; interesting that the curling cat isn’t symmetrical on the red field. This gives it a jazzy improvised feel, which I really love.

LOL; boomer here. Lots of us are processing just fine; just spending a hell of a lot of time telling Gen Zs and Xs what groypers are. Also, your ageism is lame. Pick another target.
