Even if you foolishly took his words as true it would be disqualifying to be so ignorant of current events. Where is the shaming follow up question about that?

The existence of autistic people is not something that needs to be "cured".

Thank you

Indeed.

I mean, you probably should. But it won't make you feel any better about the world

A very good boy

Like many generations of aunties before you. A proud tradition of side-eying the youths.

These people are monsters

If he could do that math he wouldn't have ended up with a brain worm

This is nuts. The specific language around race and gender identity is extra nuts.

Cool. We usually see blue-green eggs on H. Symbiolongicarpus in the field. I found some hot pink ones in northern Massachusetts last week and wasn't sure if it was an indicator that I'd stumbled into one of the other Gulf of Maine species, or if it was normal variation.

Which species is this? We've been trying to figure out if the egg color variation we've been seeing in the field is meaningful or not...

Just a Tiny, Minuscule Technicality About the People Held at ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ How to tell if someone is a criminal, according to the Department of Homeland Security

irony has been dead a while but I’m still appalled that the DHS had the temerity to suggest that it’s fine they caged more than 250 people with no criminal records because those people were probably secretly “human rights abusers” www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

I will never stop being mad that our country is being ground to dust by absolute morons. We at least deserved to be destroyed by smart villains. Alas....

Thank you for at least annoying the crap out of them and making them go on the record over and over with the terrible choice they are making. Please keep annoying the crap out of them

WTF. Coupled with them starting to build concentration camps and the supreme Court saying it's A-OK to whisk anyone off to any country... We are in deep shit territory now.

Watch: NSF staff protest the takeover of their building today by Gov. Youngkin and Trump's HUD, chanting "NSF! NSF!"

This whole thing is so weird. Also, who has control of which agency gets what building? Why does all of this feel like a free for all for corrupt assholes?

Of course it is. But the Dems could be doing more tangible acts to shame him for failing to lead.
