I’m so sick of the “who can pretend to be a bigger gentleman” dick waving contest. Why is it that Porte can effectively lose the race last year because of a poorly timed puncture, but GOD FORBID Froome temporarily loses 15 seconds. Sitting on the Sky train’s tail and attacking Froome every time he takes a piss is as…

Quickstep is delivering him to line like they’re running a lead out clinic. They’ve been crushing the echelons. Real professional tactics in the wind, and like I said, to the line. Gilbert takes Flanders on a solo 50k attack! They are SO GOOD so far this year—it sucks that the team’s future is in question and a…

Cornell was audited by the Department of Labor because their oversight of timecard-keeping was so shitty. The administration tied itself into knots two weeks ago to make sure I didn’t get anything more than my base salary for working on campus when the blizzard shut the school down. if the grad students can make the…

I’m just throwing this out there since you’re the last person who looks like they responded to this person. “AbbyVie” is the name of an offshoot of Abbott Labs. It’s all one big pharma company. I’ve seen this name pop up to vociferously defend pharma in a very troll-y way on at least one other article. It seems a…

Ah, yes, and when I bring up the whitewashing tone of my progressive friends’ plans for the DNC to go after all those “economically disaffected” Trump voters via people like Sanders/Warren suddenly I’m what’s wrong with the party. Because I don’t want to have to cater to a bunch of racists to win a presidential…

Yeah, I work in research biology. I think it’s weird laypeople’s obsession with the distinction between MD and PhD. Every professor-type PhD I’ve met will always say, “Please, just John is fine,” if the intro involves me saying, “Hi, Dr. So-and-so.” Like, their entire career as a professor and PI is based on…

Should I also stop researching the cellular mechanisms that lead to neurodegenerative diseases too?? Your attempt at wit is coming off as real ignorance. If the GOP doesn’t get us annihilated it sure as fuck is going to do everything it can to destroy science as we know it in the US. All I can hope for is that enough…

You really touched a nerve with people uncomfortable with addressing their entitlement/privilege. I work in academic research biology, so my favorite was the grad student bitching... The day a grad student isn’t gesturing wildly at themselves going, “WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEE??!!” is the day hell freezes over.

He’s whopping Peter Sagan? I told my buddy last night that Sagan looked, by far, the least gassed rider at the line. Let the “little imp” peak in January. Sagan is targeting fucking Roubaix.

Every time we have a tiny step in the advancement of human genetic science there’s someone there to warn us about its implications and the media spins it into an hysteria about designer babies. In order to design babies that are gorgeous geniuses we have to understand how a “natural” gorgeous genius develops in the…

This Syracuse U alum loves her Jimmy B. Classic!

Yeah, Rich “Moral” People telling Poors they’re Doing it Wrong just doesn’t quit.

I don’t know if you’ve tried it in your quest, but Aldi’s organic peanut butter has the same ingredient list—peanuts and salt. It’s less than $4 for a jar (I wanna say 3.99, but it might be 3.49). It used to get the really dry chunks at the end of the jar if you weren’t a dope ass stirrer, but either I’m eating more…

Yeah, it’s so cute to watch the dude go around the house and pretend to be a contractor. Then the wife does a walk through in her athleisure wear to complain. And then they drive away in their gawdy SUV and count their parents’ money. And then I laugh/cry into my ramen.

It’s the perfect combo of superficial looks and rich-parent money. There’s a 75% chance HGTV is keeping them on air because of the hate-watchers.

I always thought they were the most dead-eyed of the HGTV folks. Straight up automatons.

I’m never going to forget the delicious (hehehe, ziiiiiiinng) irony that at the same time they were marketing their food as oh-so-wholesome and not full of “chemicals” with a bunch of greenwashing anti-science bullshit they were covering up the fact that their burritos were full of bacteria that generate actual toxins…

You idiot, I didn’t say only old dudes like Bob Dylan. I said, and I quote:

Oh, right, I forgot to consult you and your friends when I formed the opinion that Bob Dylan being award the Nobel Prize in Literature is some patriarchal bullshit.

Listening to all the old white guys gush about the award for the subsequent week was the worst. I’m just hoping the number of days between the mentions I hear gets longer and longer.
