I bought a bar of chocolate on Monday, it’s now Friday and I still haven’t eaten it. For someone who works from home let me tell you that is remarkable (and worrying).

25 years ago today, George W. Bush signed the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force into law. Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against it, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

A big flow into a bucket with a small exit pipe leads to the bucket filling (and eventually overflowing). A full bucket can continue to drain into an exit pipe for a long time after the inflow is cut off. A narrow pipe early in the system limits flow even if there are wide pipes downstream.

I once had to present my metabolic engineering work to a mixed audience with executives and engineers but no biologists. I spent a week making diagrams of water moving through buckets connected by pipes to explain the relationship between pools and flows. It seems to get the point across.

So many people need to work on understanding the differences between a “stock” and a “flow”. It makes it far easier to understand things like the national debt versus an annual budget deficit. Or greenhouse gas levels in the air versus the annual emissions of pollution. And so on. And so on.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title above the comic reads, "The organs are a team."
The first panel shows a drawing of a stomach. The stomach says, "I digest food so it can become energy."
The second panel shows a drawing of a heart. The heart says, "I use energy to pump blood."
The third panel shows a drawing of a liver. The liver says, "I take that blood and filter it."
The fourth panel shows a drawing of a brain. The brain says, "I will actively sabotage all of you."

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was murdered by ICE. His three sons called him “El mundo entero” — the whole world. They watched as their whole world died in a video posted on Facebook. Lorenzo was our neighbor and fellow Texan. He deserves justice.

World Cup players are being denied entry to the US. Some are being detained, searched and treated like criminals. They have one thing in common…. They’re not white. The US has no business hosting the World Cup when it’s hostile to those from other parts of the world.

Happy Confederate Surrender Day from Minnesota where we still have your goddamn flag and we’re not giving it up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/28th_Vi...
The 28th Virginia battle flag is a Confederate battle flag that belonged to the 28th Virginia Infantry Regiment. Captured by the 1st Minnesota Infantry Regiment at the Battle of Gettysburg, the flag was brought to Minnesota and exhibited at the state's capitol for several years before passing into the permanent collection of the Minnesota Historical Society after 1896 where it has remained since.

When I did this, they said I just needed a cashier’s check. That seemed perfectly reasonable to me - until we got to closing and they meant I needed a cashier’s check _and_ I still had to sign loan paperwork because they couldn’t be sure the check was good. Grrr…

I better than 50 now - the _only_ birthday that got under my skin was 27. I was in the middle of a postdoc project that was going nowhere after having spent the previous 6 years loving graduate school. I suppose that if my crisis of confidence had come a year earlier I would have hated turning 26.
