This GenX nerd was excited to delete Google Maps and install Mapquest this morning. A great blast from the past and, no surprise, it works just fine. Like Lake Ontario. It’s HOMES not SHAME.

In a hundred years people will use “talking with Mitch” the same way they use “sleeping with the fishes” and that’s honestly fine with me as his legacy.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov maybe instead of fundraising emails we could announce the creation of Project 2029 where we begin to look at how we unravel this absolute mess and criminally prosecute all of its enablers? Maybe that’s something the @democrats.org could do?

I don't think people fully appreciate how apocalyptic things are for US science. I haven't had any new funding since 2024, but I'm still ok since typical grants are for three years. This means next year I will be completely out of funding and will have to fire everyone in the lab. It's not great.

ICE is snatching up American citizens with ID and throwing them in jail for days at a time without any form of due process. But someone with pink hair did a land acknowledgment at my last HOA meeting. I have never felt more politically homeless.
