I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

The image is of a four panel comic. 
In the first panel, we see a pair of ghosts. The first ghost says, “Let us make love, my darling.”
In the second panel, we see  see the second ghost’s face, blushing. It says, “Here? In public?”
In the third panel, we again see the pair of ghosts together. The first one says, “No one can see us, we’re ghosts!”
In the fourth panel, the title reads “the cat”. We see a cat looking up at them.

Some ~personal~ news: After five years, I have been laid off from @the-independent.com. I am grateful for the time I have had there. With that in mind, I am absolutely looking for new work opportunities, especially ahead if the midterms. My email is EMGarcia2009@gmail.com. My signal is emgarcia.85

"It's crucial that people get an influenza vaccine," says Scott Hensley, a virologist at the University of Pennsylvania. "And this might be a year that people might want to get a vaccine early."

An early flu season means it might be time to think about a flu shot
Flu season typically starts in October or November. But it looks like the flu started to pick up in September this year.

San Diego isn't necessarily a liberal bastion either. Weird that it was included. Maybe he meant to say San Francisco?

We're really moving out of the era of Nobel prizes for people I read about in ancient science textbooks to scientists I might have gone to school with... it really does put a whole different spin on it when you see the science publications in real time.

Proud to present my lifesize T. rex head, affectionately named Hannibal. I created this myself from start to finish- digital sculpture, resin 3D printing, painting, etc. Huge thanks to my friend @rj-palmer.com for instrumental crits and redlines during the sculpting process.

Tonight on #TWIS, I'm going to discuss a study that gave rats concussions and psilocybin in that order. Now I know, and so you have to, too, that there is a standardized procedure for concussing rodents existing near to the concept of picking up the field mice & bopping them on their heads.

Sometimes, you lie on the floor because your back hurts, and the cat sits on you and starts purring, and then you are stuck on the floor.
