If you kiss a frog, it turns into a prince but this also works with other animals. If you kiss a dog on the forehead, it turns into a farmer & if you even think about smooching a raccoon, it steals your wallet while a friend distracts you with a story about frogs and dogs.

True story: #StarTrek had Kirk reporting to a Black flag officer five years before the U.S. Navy had a Black admiral. Representation matters, and Star Trek has always been political.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens. Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”
Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

“Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

My latest cartoon for @newscientist.bsky.social
Three scientists stand before a workbench. 
On it are a computer,  tools and some laboratory glassware. they are made of chunky pixels the size of golf balls. 
One of the scientists says “our budget has been cut so from now on we’ll be working with low-res equipment”.

The point of bringing in Hegseth, Gaetz and Gabbard is to burn it all to the ground. Senate: You must recognize this and stop it.
Post from writer Tom Nichols:

If you want to subvert a democracy, the first three institutions you try to capture with loyalists are the military, the justice system, and the intelligence community. Trump is on the offensive against all three.

we fixed acid rain! we fixed the ozone layer! we beat polio! we’ve rescued scores of species from the brink of extinction! the despair many of us feel about climate change isn’t that it’s too big to fix. it’s that we know it is fixable but we’re being thwarted by greedy ghouls at every turn.

It's not often I'm simpatico with a fucking church sign, but this one... Yeah. I'm down with this Grace Methodist Church.
Sign outside a Grace Methodist Church: "8 MEN HAVE AS MUCH WEALTH AS 3.6 BILLION PEOPLE, BUT SURE, THE SINGLE MOM ON FOOD STAMPS IS THE PROBLEM." I'm not big on churches, but this sign, I'll co-sign.

@lavishaparab.bsky.social I have always thought and stated that women make better mathematicians. The brain is wired for detailed work and global thinking. They can see the details and see where they can fit in other places, not just within a narrow view. Good luck in all your pursuits.

a couple in their wedding attire posing on the side of a highway. there is an old V W beetle on fire behind them, as if their car caught on fire on the way to the wedding. The bride is smiling and the groom frowns. It reminds me how at any moment our cars can just explode. they're just machines. fire machines. they're really really dangerous. one day, if we survive the next few hundred years, humanity will look back on cars and be terrified that we actually used to life like this for real for real.

Reposting this from Tumblr myself because otherwise people will be posting it tomorrow and other people will be asking if I said it.
Q:Some of your books make it seems like you believe in actual literal magic, do you? ()
A: I can write down a few words and make people thousands of miles away, whom I have never met and will never meet, laugh tears of joy and cry tears of true sorrow for people who do not exist and have never existed and never will exist. If that isn't actual literal magic I don't know what is.
