Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

1. CRISPR came from basic research on bacteria. 2. Optogenetics started with a discovery in algae. 3. The GFP protein comes from jellyfish. The biggest breakthroughs all trace to scientists following their curiosity, and this is one huge reason why we must keep funding basic research!

On another day of record heat, I chose a running route through the heart of the Cameron Peak fire burn scar. Here is a doleful video of scenes to give a sense of the scale. But to not be completely bleak, I can share that outside the sterilized fire zones, there is a lot of young growth.

Did I break out the big camera for the awesome spider? Hell yes I did. Look, her chelicerae are IRIDESCENT!

More jumping spider, this time greatly enhanced. She has cream and dark brown patterns and iridescent chelicerae. The reflection shows them bluer.

Yeah, that's not how temperature or physics works. It's not electricity. Keep on wearing your classy white helmets, you'll be fine.

Yeah. Obviously while riding, air flow will help some. But as a bald man, I can tell you a hot black helmet is not great. Get some other color.

Every time I pass through 35th/Blaisdell I see a driver turn into the bikelane. Even the Shimano van driver doesn't know how to navigate this intersection without the trusty tactical urbanism cones that someone removed last week. Seems like the city should fix this issue.

This is Nigel the Eastern Screech-Owl at the Avian Behavior Conservancy in Escondido, CA. Screech-owls have fairly complex vocalizations & Nigel has specific mews & trills he uses with humans to direct them to give him mealworms. It's =highly effective=. Meaning: He's domesticated his humans.

I know it's too late for this time but try and find bright colored helmets. Less heat absorption and I've noticed drivers do seem to see helmets well.

😍 The beautiful Wemyss Bay station in Scotland. Did you know the ornate ironwork at Wemyss Bay Station was never purely decorative? They were thoughtfully designed to guide passengers effortlessly from train to boat, while filling the station with natural light. ☀️
