I am a scientist – and the answer is climate change. Yes, there is nuance. Yes, it could take a long time to identify the precise mechanisms. But there is no question why ice and snow-related disasters are on the rise. Our planet is warming at an unprecedented rate, and humans are responsible.

and the fact that things like "employee well-being" may be lauded, but not rewarded. No one cares, the leaders just want the quickest, biggest buck for themselves - and "Après moi, le déluge" - LITERALLY.

Due to reasons, I have had to read a LOT of academic management research recently. Given the large amount of resources that our world puts into studying management and business, why are our business leaders so bad? Why are our for-profit companies so awful? [the answer is capitalism, probably]

Netanyahu doesn’t represent my values, or the values of most American Jews. He is a war criminal and he deserves to be tried for it. The way for me to be safe as a Diaspora Jew is to not be associated with Netanyahu and his crimes. Our self-appointed community leaders seem to want the opposite.

The Prime Minister of the Jewish state is committing war crimes. To say that holding him accountable for that is in some way a personal attack on American Jewish identity says deeply troubling things about American Jewish identity. If that makes me less safe, he should stop doing war crimes.

I think of myself as pretty left (pro universal income, subsidized housing, free healthcare and education for all), but I do want the West Wing to be a documentary! Especially the bit where we get rid of the Mercator projection.

Someone who TRULY hates me has signed me up for Republican spam. I get emails starting with "My Fellow Conservative" or "Dear Patriotic American" - so that's 0 for 2. I'm not American, and I promise that I am filthy communist! Okay, more of a smeary social Democrat, but I do enjoy Marxist history

It’s embarrassing that the rabbi of Central Synagogue - one of the most prominent Reform rabbis in the US - is portraying Mamdani’s accurate description of Netanyahu as a war criminal as a sign of antisemitism. This is part of why young people take antisemitism less seriously than they should.

Been keeping my head in the sand, newswise, because I have work to do and tubs to scrub. Which maybe explains why I assumed that "Flock cameras" were for monitoring birds. Seems like it might be an important thing to do, keep an eye on bird populations, make sure they are okay. Good use of money.

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

How do you manage traveling with toddlers? I'm about to do a first long trip with an almost four year old and I am terrified - and it's a fraction of the trip lengths you have done. (Basically: how are you so awesome? Seriously, you are awesome - at comedy, too, of course).
