Yes, that's me in the first picture. You probably wonder how I got here. Well, I went to class... If I don't use humor well.... There was a gunman at my school today Also, for those that know me, yes, that is my dad there too, because of course, he came running when he heard, the big dummy

Many years ago, I got attacked strongly for trying to warn people not to push against everyone they disagreed with. Only attack if they attack first, and make sure they really wanted to hurt people What is going on now, is what I was trying to stop

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth Feb 1. You know the drill by now. We always kick things off with the Statue of Liberty. Americans look at it every day, and don't even know what its creator and funders intended it to stand for. You can't learn US history from US textbooks, so you get my typos instead.🤷🏿‍♂️

Halt *US* science. We can't stop the world from doing science. We can only stop ourselves from doing science. We're making a conscious choice to make China the world's leading research nation. Congratulations to China on their ascendancy I guess.

The line chart shows gross domestic expenditures on research and development (R&D) for various countries from 2000 to 2020.
Here are some key observations:
* The United States leads in R&D spending: It has consistently been the highest spender throughout the period, with a significant increase in spending over time.
* China's R&D spending has grown rapidly: China started with much lower spending in 2000 but has experienced the most dramatic growth, nearly catching up to the US by 2020.
* Other countries show more moderate growth: Japan, Germany, South Korea, and the United Kingdom have also increased their R&D spending, but at a slower pace compared to the US and China.
* Spending is adjusted for purchasing power parity: This means the figures are adjusted to account for differences in the cost of goods and services across countries, allowing for a fairer comparison of actual R&D investment.
The chart highlights the growing importance of R&D for economic competitiveness, with the US and China emerging as the dominant investors in this area.

So this happened today. I might actually ask for help here soon because the er was $130, and now my mom has to have surgery What happened is someone's dog ran from them, and my mom decided to help to try to catch it. Cue the owner not running after it, it running into four lane oncoming traffic...
