Primaries are there for a reason. I'm not interested in "vote Blue no matter who" especially as its given us people like Fetterman. Push to make Democratic candidates better or replace them.

And with that, I think its time to drop Platner.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

Women are lagging behind on AI but they can catch up Curiosity, experimentation and learning are crucial if women are to shape the future of work

Counterpoint: Women are ahead of the curve on knowing AI is bullshit.

80+% of both Democrats and Republicans believe America would be better off if more Americans worked in manufacturing, but < 30% say that about themselves.

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory.

Listening to this now!

"Much of the world is hidden from us, that we don't perceive it and we don't understand it. And that it is worth understanding and it is necessary to understand."

A marine iguana walks along the sand

On Darwin Day, a reminder that Charles Darwin had an inexplicable major beef with marine iguanas, writing that they were:

"small and of a sooty black, which if possible, heightens their native ugliness" and

"the most disgusting, clumsy lizards.... Somebody calls them 'imps of darkness'"

The Welsh told the Saxons this hill was called "pen" (meaning "hill"). The Saxons added their word for hill, "tor," and called it Torpen (hill hill).

Later the Norse added their world for hill. So it became Torpen Haugr (Hill Hill Hill).

Now the English call it Torpenhow Hill (Hill Hill Hill Hill)

Just to give everyone a reminder: you should never have to get a loan for a graduate program in ecology, evolution, & organismal biology.

Optimist: The cup is half full

Pessimist: The cup is half empty

Botanist: Actually, the cup is technically called a hypanthium, and it’s formed by the fusion of the basal parts of the sepals, petals, stamens, and…wait, where are you going?
