SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 10mNeither 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.” 000
SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 38mIn 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. 000

SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 2hI 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. 110
SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 3h“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. 150
SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 15hI 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. 110
SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 21hThey 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. 111
SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 21hSpent 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. 020
SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 22hOh, 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. 010

SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 12/10/2026All 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. 0111

SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 12/10/2026During 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. 011

SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 12/10/2026This 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.

SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 11/10/2026At the core of this nightmare are the wholly indoctrinated, intellectually attenuated Conservatives who voted for vile, morally bereft, unfit and unqualified Republican candidates, just to keep a Democrat out of that same seat. 030
SciCommic @scicommic.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Hard 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: 110
