Two cards arrived from the US today - 9 October. The one mailed in Colorado was postmarked on 9 September. The one mailed in New York was postmarked 16 September. Main message for overseas US voters - get your ballots in the mail ASAP.

Scarves and leggings that you can take off later in the day as it warms up. I'm not a dress and leggings person until I travel.

I too have the gilet from Uniqlo, and it is great for travel. I also have a full down coat that squishes into a little bag, which I get even more wear out of. The coat's also great for shows where I don't want to deal with coat check (squish into bag, hang off belt or shove into purse).

The Human Genome Project cost taxpayers $3 Billion. Two decades on, it has generated a staggering return on investment of $1 Trillion, with benefits in medicine, agriculture, energy, the environment, & more. If you want to boost the economy, funding science is one of the best things you could do.

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...

The cuts "would kill the much-anticipated Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, an observatory seen as on par with [Hubble & JWST] that is already fully assembled and on budget for a launch in two years." Would also apparently close NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. Huge, HUGE loss for science.

move to make “ozowned“ a verb, all in favor

back to back tweets — the first is from known dipshit Matt Walsh, who said, “Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer.”

the second is from @DKThomp, who said, “What happened is scientists
discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.”

There is a variant of Jonagold called Jonagored that is much redder. It apparently appeared spontaneously at an orchard in Belgium and was propagated from there.
