This man is inappropriately obsessed with identity groups and racial politics. You can tell by his excessively Teutonic mien
Historian of evolutionary biology and scientific racism who has somehow turned into a historian of the physical sciences. Expect lots of cat pictures and general miscellany. Marylandic.

I mean, even before that, there was Justine Tunney
Yes
Need reporters to start working prompt injections into their questions
🎵Okay (Okay, okay, okay) Just a little pinprick There'll be no more But you may feel a little sick Can you stand up? (Stand up, stand up) I do believe it's working, good That'll keep you going through the show🎵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FLj...
Well, he's still alive, but hopefully the uppers are doing their cardiovascular thing
lmao they've pushed it back to 3
Gotta keep upping the amphetamine dose until he can walk under his own power
evolutionary psychologists studying the environment of evolutionary adaptedness
(That and the proof-of-life thing, obviously)
You just know the impetus behind this is to have an excuse to name a bunch of buildings after von Braun and his Nazi pals
We can still hope
Ah, well
Just confirmed this on my own phone. Did we manifest it into happening?
Bluesky: the niche website for literate people
Fortunately there will be no negative consequences for the rest of us, right?
Honestly, I feel like we should have seen this coming
My kingdom for a justify right formatting option
Enhanced photo
We get so few nice things these days, we should get to have just this one, as a treat
Oh so it's happening after all
Holy shit, a run
Baseball announcers stop saying "San Fran" challenge
BARCS has her, now 🥲 Baltimore moots: somebody please adopt her 😩😩😩
i actually demand my elected representatives exhibit all the characteristics of life; composed of cells, exhibiting growth, maintaining homeostasis, things of that nature
EDMONTON: this is Fiasco, @premeemohamed.com's beautiful boy. after slipping outside a few days ago, he needs help finding his way home. can you share this with your local circles?
Ok, I'm still more skeptical than hopeful right now, but they're going to need to release a more compelling proof of life soon
She might be bracing the wheel with her knees, but there's clearly no steering involved
How do you take your eyes off the road *and your hands off the wheel* at the same time? Like, looking at your phone is insanely dangerous as it is, but what do you expect to happen when you stop looking *and stop steering*?
Judge Sparkle Sooknanan has been working since 3:00 AM to prevent planes full of children from being whisked off to a foreign country without their parents, at the orders of an evil dictator. How is this not a very special episode of a '90s Saturday morning cartoon?
"Eugenics was rooted in rational modern science then" needs re-stating. Far too many people describe eugenics as a "pseudoscience", but it wasn't to those who studied it, wrote books and papers, formed societies and argued its benefits.
Urf, subskeeting here but folks . . . Don't touch evo-psych. Don't talk about how "we evolved" to think a certain way. That's not how evolution works and it's not how psychology works, and the foundations under all that are more racist and fascist than you probably realize.
I don't know what the consequences for bragging about child abuse for clout should be, but I would like these people to find out
OUR CLOSER
Negative ERA when
Medieval peasants would not advocate for letting diseases run through entire populations to make a “stronger species,” sorry this one is modernity’s baby.
Some Desperate Glory is already one of the best novels I've read this year, this is definitely high on my to-read list
Making money off the rebs at the National Archives Museum gift shop
Wait but why is NARA selling CSA merch??????????????????
I'm not sure I've ever wanted anything more in my life
Here's a #GiftLink for those who want to read the full NYT obit of historian of science & gender, Margaret Rossiter. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/29/s... #histSTM 🧪🗃️
Hey, it's a long holiday weekend, still plenty of time
We are now at the "slow-walking getting ready for school while listening for closures on the radio" stage
Ghoulscrolling is one of the chief pleasures of the 21st-century internet
I mean, what is lost by the US referring to him very pointedly as "colonel"? Even if calling him "general" can be defended as not inaccurate, why fight the equally accurate slight against him?
This is fair, but ignores the context that Lee critics have been operating in, an environment dominated by a century and a half of hagiographic pro-Lee propaganda
Like, I'll freely admit that I don't think It's likely to have Happened, however much I want It to Have Had. But this kind of response does start to get my hopes up
Wait, so the WH responds to swirling rumors that the President is dead with a teaser for an interview he supposedly did earlier today?
The longer we go without any actual information, the less likely I think It is. But that said, I have Faith of the Heart
You know what, I don't even want it to happen right now, I want to go to bed, get a good night's sleep, and then see the news tomorrow afternoon
Trump is definitely alive bc who else would would blast Les Mis in the Rose Garden??
Periodization is getting out of control
dc public safety ppl send out a silver alert I dare you
Yeah, but you have to be able to talk by flapping the top half of your head up like a muppet
Ok but now actually thinking about it, what power does Congress, or the people, legally have to compel the President to provide proof of life?
ok this is would be the funniest way to find out he's incapacitated
The President should have to wear a fitbit at all times with a publicly accessible webpage that shows its feed in real time. I am not a crank
It's called ✨manifesting✨
It's called ✨manifesting✨
I don't believe you
Oh, I need to think about this
Apropos of nothing, good song youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?...
Probably nothing, but apparently Trump hasn't been seen since Wednesday, and has no scheduled appearances through the weekend, so everyone is manifesting It Happening
God, it's like it's a schoolnight and just starting to snow, and you know when you wake up it might all be gone, so you don't want to go to sleep
Iggy Pop in The Adventures of Pete & Pete
You know what, even if he's alive, I love the fact that a massive rumor mill has started right as we go into a three day weekend.
🎶It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
What the fuck, I thought we were still a nation of laws
[reading the will] im sorry mr vance it says here he signed an executive order saying the vice president must throw himself on the funeral pyre
No disrespect to Jeffrey Combs, but there should have been way more Iggies Pop in Star Trek. An Iggy Pop Shran. An Iggy Pop Brunt. An Iggy Pop Agimus
I can’t remember the performance that well but I love that DS9 had Iggy Pop as whatever Weyoun was
Call 1-800-SPACE-LAWYERS toll free, no latinum upfront
Honestly the bit inside La'an's katra (or whatever) was what pushed it over the edge for me from "this isn't working" to "this is actively terrible" despite the intriguing winks at hypothetical Romulan origins
No, it's true that Kolinahr isn't necessary for the Vulcan affect, but it's still something that is supposed to take many years of childhood socialization and training
Omg Taliesin!
Lol, in theory I agree, and ask me again in a day or two, I'll say you're absolutely right. Right now, though, I'm just annoyed
God, I honestly cannot remember the last time I was actually mad at an episode of tv
I didn't hate the musical episode, but I can absolutely see why one would. Even then, I don't see how it holds a candle to this one in terms of terribleness
I think I agree, I was entertained throughout most of it! Despite Anson Mount's Vulcan. But at the same time, it was almost repellently bad whenever you stopped to think about it (or whenever Patton Oswalt was onscreen) and I suspect it's going to be on a lot of "worst episode" lists going forward
Can you propagate a kidney if you plant it right away? Maybe get a whole garden going, think how many you could sell then!
Gracie joins you in hoping It Happens, but also wishes you a happy three-day weekend even if It doesn't
so the radioactive shrimp comes from the cesium-137 contaminated Indonesian shipping containers... in what way is this NOT a William Gibson novel
Honestly, this might be the first episode of Strange New Worlds that I would unreservedly consider Bad
No thing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal hog, boundless and tan The lone and fuzzy ALF stretch's far away.
Like, come the fuck on, Star Trek, this is not the time to be making canonically cultural phenomena somehow magically genetic. I don't want to have to put on my "this is race science" hat while watching my stories!
Watching the new episode of Strange New Worlds, and not to be that guy, but when did Pike, Uhura, La'an, and Chapel go through Kolinahr?
I mean, it's going to happen at some point, we might as well enjoy the anticipation. And that includes idle speculation when he disappears for days on end
That was a weird Of Montreal album
I will never forget David Brooks' irish setter, Moral Hazard
When he said he wanted to make America healthy again, he meant by unleashing a scourge that only the "healthy" would survive.
I would read an academic murder book in which the murder was solved by reading the syllabus
Please, we deserve this. As a treat.
Only one man can Make Labor Day Great Again, if he has the courage
For too long, American Labor Day has celebrated little more than a refusal to join the rest of the world on May 1st. What this weekend presupposes is: what if it was different, what if we did have a thing to celebrate.
Tbh, the only Chicago-style pizza I've had in my adult life was from a place in Chicago that did a gluten free crust by just replacing the crust with ground sausage. Terrible heartburn after, but worth it
Wait, where in Baltimore even sells Chicago-style pizza?
so many people are going to die because not enough people were willing to believe that RFK jr would actually try to do exactly what he has said for decades that he wanted to do
