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.

Then there was those who would tell us that what neighbors/spouse was clearly neanderthal and we ought to study them. Turns out that maybe, some of those were really onto something (that was before we knew about neanderthal introgression into modern humans).

We had a special binder. One rule was that you couldn't make fun of them, as they were someone's loved ones and some of those people were clearly not ok. The most out there were the evolution ones. Usually "proofs" it was not possible or guided by some divine rule.

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.

This is an unwinnable war: a new generation will take over, even more determined than the last one and possibly even more driven by and towards revenge. It's sheer destructive madness.

You are an absolute clown. Except, none of this is funny. You are certainly aware that Israel removed Arabic as an official language in 2018, right? When it adopted a basic law to define itself as the Nation-State of the Jewish People...

This is a prize winning dumb take. The point is that the attack on Gaza will have the effect of further radicalizing an entire generation that will seek vengeance against Israel. This won't work out well for absolutely anyone.
