Admiring "Portrait of a Human" by the amazing @artologica.net hanging in our living room. @matinadonaldson.bsky.social and I absolutely love it.
The artwork shown hanging on a wall, with a coffee table, lamp and edge of a couch visible.A series of 16 water color panel arranged into a 4x4 grid. Each panel shows a different cell type in bright colors. LTR-TTB: retina, hair, lung, neuron, white blood cells, neuron, egg and sperm, bone, skin, neurons, red blood cells, inner ear, liver, cardiac muscle, bone marrow, skeletal muscle.

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

I managed to keep my family healthy: we were visiting my mother and as soon as I learned it was COVID we started a strict isolation protocol. Something I would not have done with other respiratory viruses. I spent a week in my room and avoided visiting my elderly relatives. That's why we test.

Stuck in bed with a bad case of COVID, feeling my brain is runny eggs. Checking the news: there is going to be a skibidi toilet movie and JD Vance fucked a couch. My brain must be gone for good.

LAX is where all the bad ideas get tested. I really think that when organizations fail so badly, executives should be physically punished.

Airline executives and board members should only be allowed to fly economy. That way they can experience the brilliance of their ideas.
