Is that the one he made when he was interviewed by CNN (infamous Kaitlan Collins interview in front of a crowd of MAGA supporters)-the night the first verdict came down that he owed her $5 million?

Thanks! I did have an absentee ballot, but I made a mistake while filling it out (which was, ultimately, that I chose to fill it out at like 5 in the morning). So I had to go to a polling location and wait for 2 hours, alternately reading my phone and glaring at a family that seemed to be willfully refusing to wear…

I triple-checked my ballot, including the print-out of the ballot here in GA.

I realized the same thing tonight.  This could mean a Trump victory, even if he doesn’t win it.

Nope. We’re in a right to work state (common in the South) and so there is no union representation. Union presence has taken a nose-dive since the 70s.

Yeah, my first apartment 13 years ago (same city, I’ve moved 4 times since then) had ONE KITCHEN DRAWER.  Now I have a kitchen with many drawers plus an island we bought to provide more storage space, and we still store stuff in the downstairs bedroom and the garage because I love to cook but it takes up a lot of…

It depends on the state.  I live in the south, my husband is a teacher, and there is no union.  So he’s trying to use his seniority to push back on the decision not to require masks and so far it’s not working.

I was thinking a lot yesterday about how unhappy I was in academia. The day after we submitted a grant that eventually will net my PIs and 2 institutions 3 million dollars (it was delayed due to the 2018-2019 government shutdown), one that I worked my ass off on to get the data for and to read and provide feedback…

Wow I’d love to know how this turns out!!

I had a neighbor across the street that had a ‘therapy’ rooster that got out. Drove my dog nuts whenever she saw it. One time it roosted in the tree in our front yard. We called animal control multiple times but they wouldn’t do anything, until a woman from down the street came to our door and we both called.  The…

Yep, I was thinking the same thing.  It looks like in this case it was a coincidence.  And, if she were insider trading in response to the Covid-19 news, she wouldn’t have sold her biotech stock.  That stock would skyrocket in value-it would make no sense to sell low.

From the smell in our breakroom, I sometimes think people are microwaving fish food and not just the fish themselves. 

I made these for the Super Bowl:

He was also on a leave of absence for several weeks, which I believe coincided with these events (I think someone else filled in for him around Thanksgiving?).

Yeah, my mother (a life-long Republican, as far as I know) decided to switch her party affiliation to Democrat pretty much because she hates the Cheetolini and the Republicans that are doing everything in their power to keep him in office while they overlook his misdeeds.

John Oliver had a doctor (I believe in Texas) say he did something like that. He would go over the so-called research regarding the drawbacks of having an abortion, and say that a) these were not backed up by scientific evidence and/or b) they were the same drawbacks as continuing the pregnancy. Another cool thing I…

I was almost a micro-preemie (1 lb., 12 ounces), and I spent I think 2-3 months in the NICU. My mom was so relieved that they were on the ‘family’ insurance plan, which covered my medical costs (about $1 million in 1985 dollars, according to her). That would be about $2.3 million now.

AUGH!  MY EYES!

If you are interested in this kind of history during Victorian times, check out the book The Greedy Queen, by Annie Gray.  It is really good.

My last day of my last job (postdoc in academia), I went in at like 7 AM and worked until 9 PM, just to finish doing all the updating of records (I was handing off animal breeding as well as many other things to other people), writing a bunch of documents about how I did things so projects could continue after I left,…
