The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

My favourite conspiracy is that ghosts ARE real, but they don't obey gravity.... so they get left in space. We've never found one because earth is moving through space, but without gravity to hold them to the planet, they are quickly left behind in the void.

It feels incredibly weird to be purposely growing a liter of mold, but here we are. We're trying to grow our own penicillin for a video, which means lots and lots of blue mold. But that means carefully formulating a growth media.... for mold. Which feels very silly.

Botany valentine. Another from years past. New one on Monday!

Beautiful red roses on a pink background with flowing script saying "Roses are red," Violets budding and blooming. "Violets are blue," Hydnora plants opening up looking like terrifying red mouths bursting from the hard sandy soil. "Hydnora are leafless, bizarrely fleshy, and incapable of producing chlorophyll," A splash of cute red and pink hearts. "And so are you. Happy Valentine's Day."

USAID matters. I've often disagreed with their strategy and choices, but their work saves more lives than any philanthropy can. It's a rounding error in the federal budget, and one of the best things we do as a country. To see it destroyed overnight by one unelected man is an unmitigated horror.
