Right?! As far as I’m concerned, if you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.

So much Alice in Wonderland influence! Fun! Love!

Since my brain is primarily focused on surviving the mini-stroke i have every time Pruitt comes up, the only comment I can spare at the moment is:

Aw! So sweet!

Love it!

Yes, to everything you have said in this thread.

This.

I had heard about the two-for-one order. But I was wondering more about the state of leadership within the NSF and NIH. Is any research going to happen? I’m just trying to understand specific issues such as massive funding cuts vs. having to spin my research interests.

True. However a SCOTUS filibuster and well as obstructing and refusing to participate in these proceedings for any of the cabinet positions in any way possible should be encouraged. These are all bargaining chips, weak though they may seem... I think they should be willing to obstruct to the point that the senators…

Seriously! I don’t care what state you live in.

Braggart!

Can someone more in-the-know than I comment on the current and expected status of leadership regarding the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the National Institute of Health (NIH)? I am having trouble figuring out where these two major research arms are headed.

I read “and a balloon”...now there absolutely has to be a giant gold balloon spelling out TRUMP...and an eager look on his ‘face’

And since we can all use a laugh, here is Carol Burnett (and Andrea Martin!) with a Star Trek (OS) parody that shows a possible lady-based solution for us...

Every NYTimes push I get is greeted by “Oh god, what did he do now?!” Followed by me wincing as i click through. Today when Mary Tyler Moore died I was genuinely relieved that I just had to celebrate the death of a kickass lady.

Aw... :-(

Since Sagan was awesome guy, he didn’t just criticise without offering solutions though.

And as someone whose bathroom on the 2nd floor is right above where her rock and mineral collection is (*cough* nerd!) on shelves all the way to the ceiling of the 1st floor, I can assure you that keeping “crystals” under the floorboards is not doing anything magical for my household!

The fact that you have a scar suggests that you are, in fact, quite capable of making working obsidian tools! Unfortunately, you were your own first test subject.

Defnitely worth a rewatch! D’arcy’s character is so much fun! As is, like, everything else on the show. It’s good for the soul!
