Saw Project Hail Mary last night. Amaze! Amaze! Amaze! (IYKYK) Dropped a lot of the real science from the book (physics) but captured the friendship, humor, and courage at the books core. It is kind of Castaway like (lots of Ryan Gosling) but he holds the stage. Definitely a feel good escape […]

Finished listening to "Project Hail Mary" on Audible, and in the words of the lead character Ryland Grace,IT IS AWESOME. The best about science, and a surprisingly optimistic and personal turn on humanity and friendship in the face of apocalypse. What's not to like? Looking forward to the film!

#TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy Tariffs, deportation, and now this: Trump’s illegal war on Iran has caused gasprices to jump. In Kansas City, in one day they went above $3 for the first time since last fall. Trump doesn't care about you-he cares about Bibi, MSB, billionaires.

Cincinnati-area drivers are seeing a sharp spike in gas prices, with regular unleaded climbing to $3.19 a gallon at multiple local stations — the first time pump prices have exceeded $3 since last fall.

The surge follows U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran, and the country's response, which have pushed crude oil prices up 10% in the past 48 hours.

🧵#OperationEpsteinFury is NOT supported by the majority of the American people - huge numbers of Democrats and Independents oppose it, think it will make us less safe, and that Trump has no real plans for what to do. Republicans think the opposite in large numbers.

59% disapprove of the strikes- 41% approve
Dems - 82% disapprove, 18% approve
Ind - 68% disapprove 32% approve
REPS- 77% approve, 23% disapprove

54% of Americans think this will make Iran more dangerous 28% less
Dems- 74% more, 9% less, 14% not sure
Ind-59% more, 21% less, 20% not sure

ELON THE THIN SKINNED SNOWFLAKE

Elon the Thin Skinned Snowflake
Had a very white skinned chest
And if you want him angry
You can track his private jet

All of the liberal tweeters
Used to laugh and call him names
They wouldn't let poor Elon
Join in any hashtag games

Then one cold Ukrainian eve
Putin came to say
"Elon with your chest so white,
Won't you block Ukraine tonight?"

Now all the despots love him
as they shout it out with glee
"Elon the thin-skinned snowflake
You're our Bitch for treachery!"

X post from November by Sen Cassidy, part 1:

I’m a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker.

We need to understand the real causes of autism. Studies show there’s a genetic predisposition when a mom who’s pregnant is exposed to environmental toxins which can increase a child’s risk of autism. It’s deeply troubling that, according to HHS officials, they appeared to have canceled hundreds of millions in research on autism genetics. Redirecting attention to factors we definitely know DO NOT cause autism denies families the answers they deserve.

X post from November by Sen Cassidy, part 2:

We had two children die and many more hospitalized nationally from measles this year. Louisiana is experiencing its worst whooping cough outbreak in 35 years. Families are getting sick and people are dying from vaccine-preventable deaths, and that tragedy needs to stop.
