Science communication tramp. I’ve been an informal science educator and vaccine advocate long enough to know that anti-science is not partisan. People show us who they are by who they choose to represent them.

Neither did Raymond Gosling. The PhD student that Rosalind Franklin was directly supervising when he took *both* images, and who worked with Franklin to measure the the structure they imaged. But including Gosling nullifies the myth that “2 men stole the accomplishment of a woman.”

In 1934, John Campbell published a scifi short story, “Twilight.” A time traveller overshoots his return, and is telling the guy who picked him up as he was walking along a desert road what he’d seen in our future. Humans had lost their curiosity. Everyone was wholly dependent on robots and AI.

Anyone else notice how it’s typically the females who get fired or “asked to resign”, for “inappropriate behavior”, in this Trump regime?

On an episode of QI, Stephen Fry described Dan Brown’s stories as “complete loose stool-water” and “arse-gravy of the very worst kind.”

I remember when Perriello was the Rep for the the 5th, before. A TEA party goon published an address and suggested that members “drop by” to express their disapproval of the ACA. The gas lines of the house were found cut, a few days later. Only it wasn’t Tom’s house. It was his brother’s.

“The great thing about reading an actual book is that you don’t have to deal with ads.” Rrriiiiiiiiiiiiight. Recently bought a copy of “Cyborg”, the book that was the basis for “The $6 Million Man.” Bound into the pages I found an ad for cigarettes, and an ad for whiskey. It was printed in 1972.

I have to chuckle when I see the pretend patriots in their “1776” shirts. My great(x7) grandfather closed up his London shop and relocated to central Virginia more than 50 years before that. My family actually fought for our country’s freedom from a tyrant. Unlike most of the MAGAts.

They openly berated and threatened a Black Family during their child’s birthday party. They paced, with guns over their shoulders, in front of the Ohio Director of Public Health, during the lockdowns. They grab masks off of people’s faces. MAGAts are clearly not sane adults.

Spent 6 years at Pacific Science Center engaging with #science deniers about #ClimateChange, #vaccines, evolution, #GMO foods, “alternative” medicine, and even 1 Flat-Earther. Without fail, no matter how calm and civil I was, they got loud, hostile and stormed off. However, not all were Rightwing.

Oh, that’s great that it’s still operating. It was closed a good bit of the early 90’s, when I lived there. Henrico Theater, in Highland Springs, is still open, but it’s a live stage venue now. And where the Airport Drive-In that was off Williamsburg Rd, there’s now an Arby’s.

All of this is happening because morally bereft Republicans have aided, abetted and protected a imbecilic psychopath, for over a decade. They are in a position to do this because easily manipulated imbecilic Conservative voters only care about keeping a Democrat out of that same seat.

Guest in our Community Immunity exhibit tells everyone that her doctor warned her that the HPV #vaccine “is more dangerous than the virus.” I asked if her “doctor” was an MD, or a naturopath. When she answered, “oh, she’s a naturopath”, I shot the other guests a look.

During the “Red Scare”, innocent Americans were ostracized, lost their jobs and were even jailed just on suspicion and hearsay of what Trump and the Republican Party are openly and blatantly doing.

But Biden was worried about the “appearance” that he was weaponizing the DoJ, by more aggressively going after Trump for actual crimes committed. 🙄

This is a decades-old #antivaxxer go-to. They ask “where are the double blind studies?” to try and discredit the safety and efficacy of the #MMR. It doesn’t matter how many times it’s explained to the idjits why no reasonable researcher would conduct it, they treat it like a “gotcha.” #RFKJr

Hard to say. We see all of them targeting those who have the education and expertise that they can only pretend to emulate. But, so far, it’s only been bad for those who facepalm at Trump’s dumbassery on live TV. Sadly, I remember when RFK Jr was a good environmental attorney with the NRDC. Now:

Trump chose him to both test Republicans’ blind loyalty, and to hurt as many low and middle income families as possible.

Since the last time he was in office, I’ve compared Trump and his supporters with those who got off on watching unarmed people torn apart by animals, screaming as they were burned alive while tied to a stake and who considered it “entertainment” to hang a Black man from a tree.
