Make Lying Wrong Again @makelyinwrongagain.bsky.social · 21/09/2026
Donald Trump is lying when he says “the US controls the strait” His supporters know he is lying But he’s “Lying for the Lord”, so it’s ok. Their acceptance of the lie is a loyalty test We know it’s a lie bc of public ship tracking data Facts and gift article below 👇🎁

The evolution of humanity’s moral teachings is a clear demonstration that there is no objective morality.

It only shows Lake America for those inside the US. I wonder if Trump is even aware.

Not just faith in a god, but faith in all those assumptions. Faith in one’s reasoning. Atheism is simpler.

For most US Christians there’s more. Assume that one particular deity fashioned in the Mediterranean is the one and only. I can see why faith is such a big deal.

To posit a God exists outside the known Universe as a creator assumes there’s an “outside the Universe.” Second, there’s the assumption of a being there. Third, assume a creator deity that interacts with life on Earth. Too many assumptions for me.

Next year, we will attempt testing for specific pollutants that affect salmonids and orcas. If I can manage obtaining a longer lead, we could also potentially recover crab pots (12,000 annually are lost in Puget Sound 👀).

Took a class to a local coastline to observe marine life and it was a success (considering it was my first attempt). What’s in the water is a student-created ROV equipped with a set of thrusters and a camera.

The US has millions of sanctimonious “Christians” aspiring to create a “Christian” nation but won’t follow the example of their supposed savior. For example, no one who takes the words of Jesus Christ seriously would support Donald Trump.

Prayer didn’t abolish slavery, secure women’s rights, defeat segregation, or expand civil liberties. People did that — through activism, reason, democracy, and constitutional protections. Progress comes from courageous action, not politicians staging prayer circles for cameras.

Somewhere on social media, an evangelical Christian is drafting a post he hopes will reach many by using technology based on sciences in which he doesn’t believe.

Evangelical Christians want us to adopt Creationism and a Young Earth, but will not dispassionately study biology or geology.

darkprof @darkprof.bsky.social · 08/05/2026
It takes more effort to believe in Creation than evolutionary biology. This is because believing in stories with little evidence demands faith in anecdotes in addition to study and reason.

There’s a long list of gubernatorial candidates for the Democratic Party in CA. Drop Swalwell and move on. Hilton was recently endorsed by Trump (whomp, whomp!), which shouldn’t help him. Find a better candidate and move on!

Donald Trump is a cowardly draft dodger. He wiggled out of going to fight in a war. You realize just how sick that is...when you see how willing he is to send people into a war he chose to start.

In a normal world Trump endorsing gubernatorial candidate Hilton would be a terrible ordeal for that candidate, but instead we live in 2026. We’ll see. (One wonders similarly re: Vance and Orban.)

Republican majority leaders Thune and Johnson refuse to call back their members for an emergency session in the biggest American crisis of the century. Minority leaders Schumer and Jeffries should have their members in session right now on the steps of the capitol, if that's what they have to do.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

I will be speaking at today's Board of Natural Resources meeting, where Dave Upthegrove intends to greenlight the destruction of vast swathes of legacy forests. One of the most difficult things for me in attending these meetings is listing to that traitor Upthegrove prattle on.

Iranians have experienced acid rain, schools bombed, and woke up today to find a university, too, had been bombed. US frets over the price of their gas. It’s embarrassing.

I ❤️ getting bug portraits, but to document interesting biological interactions is 💯. These plants had aphid infestations tended by fire ants. Lurking were aphid predators: a silver fly approached cautiously (its larvae feed on aphids), while a spiky hover fly larva sat among the ants. Vieques, PR 🇵🇷
A small silver gray fly sits on a leaf to the right of a stem with aphids and 3 fire ants.
