I went to Geneva a few weeks ago and spoke on a panel about the nature of time for a Geneva Watch Days event. While I was there, on a lark, I entered a competition to most precisely calibrate a Swiss watch. And today I found out that I won! 😃 www.instagram.com/reel/Dd6hUTB...

This morning, the Justice Department went after nearly an entire state's federal bench, all at once. The judges had said the government wasn't following court orders. The response was to try to remove the judges. Here's why every American should be paying attention. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

youtu.be/4Al_s7wbY9s?... Canada is to Trump as Ukraine is to Putin with one main difference. Unlike Putin's little green men in 2014 met with skepticism and inertia Orange Ogre's menacing threats are met with certitude and action. Canadian eyes are wide open. Every one of us is doing our part.

On my way into the #HIV clinic. Today, after 15 years of pills, I’m moving onto long-acting injectable treatment. Given once every 60 days the jabs will keep my HIV in check and help simplify interactions with meds for my other issues. It’s amazing how fast HIV medicine has moved. #HIVsky #IDSky

Trump, RFK Jr, Oz & Republicans have focused on taking healthcare from the disabled & promoting incarceration disguised as institutionalized treatment. Now, the DOJ opposes the disabled having access or integration into their community in opposition to federal law. www.npr.org/2026/10/01/n...

Born 1 Oct 1920, actor Walter Matthau. He starred in 10 films alongside his real-life friend Jack Lemmon, including The Odd Couple (1968) & Grumpy Old Men (1993). The New York Times called this 1 of Hollywood's most successful pairings. I always loved him in The Taking of Pelham 123. #WalterMatthau

Dr. Jane Goodall died #OTD in 2025. She was a primatologist, anthropologist & conservationist regarded as the world’s foremost expert on wild chimpanzees. Her field research revolutionized our understanding of primates & redefined what it means to be human. janegoodall.org #WomenInSTEM
A feel-good photograph of world-renowned primatologist and anthropologist Dr. Jane Goodall (1934-2025), famous for her groundbreaking, decades-long study of wild chimpanzees in Gombe Stream National Park. In this intimate shot, Dr. Goodall is positioned on the right, her profile turned left toward a young chimpanzee resting its hand affectionately on her shoulder. Her gray hair is tied back in a signature low ponytail, and she wears a white button-up shirt with thin red and blue vertical stripes. Her eyes are closed, and her mouth is puckered as she mimics a vocalization, creating a profound, empathetic connection with the chimpanzee, who tilts its head back with its mouth wide open in a matching vocal expression. The background is a soft, blurred palette of green and tan nature tones, keeping the focus entirely on their interaction. The composition exudes a tender, joyful, and harmonious mood, highlighting the historical significance of her revolutionary approach to treating animals as individuals with minds, emotions, and distinct personalities.
