It is way, way better to get vaccinated for chickenpox than to get sick with it

As coal fades, Australia looks to realize dream of 100% renewable… The country’s grid operator says shifting from coal to clean power is not only possible but inevitable. The work there could provide a road map for other…

Australia's grid operator has a clear line of sight to 100% renewables. There's nothing unknown or exotic required.

It'll be fun when the first large/major economies start hitting the goal. Too bad the US is likely to be at the rear of the pack.

So the reason Hillary and Kamala didn't win is misogyny. This is worth remembering when all those people are wringing their hands over how the democratic party has lost its way and have to stop being woke etc. The party platform is fine, the problem is men and women! won't vote for a woman.

"... 1 in 5 voters said they ... would not elect a woman ... candidate. ... 25% of women under 50 and 20% of men under 50, who said they would not back a qualified female candidate for president, while 13% of men and women over 50 said they wouldn’t be open to supporting a woman for president."

An oval loaf of bread with flour dusting and two score marks.

Slices of bread with an airy crumb and pieces of potato visible.

Made my first potato-rosemary sourdough bread. Mostly happy with the outcome, but next time I’ll be a little less careful with mixing after addition of the potato. The potato pieces were larger than what I was aiming for.

Not just academics. This is something that everyone should be aware of. If you don’t do research, you won’t feel the cuts today. But think of how recently you heard about scientific researchers discovering a new miracle injection that cures obesity. Ozempic only came to market in 2017. Look around.

The actual issue before us — which is very simple & clear — is that you are masterminding a police state for your overlord & classifying opponents as “terrorists” & in the process destroying the Constitution & a free society.

Jew to Jew, Stephen, you’re a complete piece of shit.

I always thought this a Beatle song 🎶 when I heard it back in the day.

I’ve heard that scientist created shots that can prevent many illnesses but the government wants to keep it a secret so only the elite can have them. It’s a conspiracy all the way up to the president!

Facing this Court A Sober Look at What to Expect in Trump v. Casa And What We Do About It

In light of reports that the Trump Admin has asked SCOTUS to decide the merits of its effort to end birthright citizenship, I’m re-upping my assessment - reluctantly arrived at - of the majority’s likely response to Trump’s unconstitutional demand. I pray I’m wrong. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

BREAKING NEWS: Censorship returns to the CDC. At least 22 websites are down. The Trump administration's HHS is back to its old habits of targeting public health resources deemed too woke.

I hope this catches on. 22 CDC websites are down. All are LGBTQ/DEI related.

We are not free. When science is silenced, we all pay the price. Science has been censored in the past. Like before, it will not end well.

1/5 #MammalMonday: Meet the European hamster (Cricetus cricetus)! 🐹

Unlike its tiny pet-store cousins, this wild hamster can reach up to 30 cm long, with a bold coat of chestnut, black, and white patches that makes it truly stand out.

Just had a small, but very noticeable quake jolt me out of bead. San Francisco.

Curious if he paid taxes on the $50,000?

EXCLUSIVE: In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents, who were posing as business executives, win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

From Caltrans District 8 on Facebook and CHP reports:

Highway 38 to Big Bear "completely washed out" from mudslides according to CHP on QuickMaps.
"Closed in both directions from Valley of the Falls to the bottom of South Fork," Caltrans said on Facebook

Let’s review.

X: owned by Trump’s largest donor

Facebook: owner gave Trump $1M

TikTok: soon operated by billionaire Trump donors

ABC: fired Kimmel, gave Trump $15M

CBS: fired Colbert, gave Trump $16M

This isn't normal. Free speech doesn't belong to billionaires.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

At home and at work, always.
