You kids and your Tweeters and Instaspams and Fumblers and Book of Many Faces. I my day we AOL instant messaged like the good Lord intended, I’ll tell you what. Why, we’d have to be at our desktop CPUs and sit for hours to LOL and BRB ourselves into oblivion.

“I kind of pooh-poohed the experience stuff when I first got here,” explained one White House official, “But this shit is hard.”

This shit-stew of an administration, the investigations and the backlash to Trump is making me “happy” for the first time since the election. How about you guys?

Alien day being on 4/26 is goddamn stupid. It should fall on the 426th day of the year, dummies.

This is the real reason the men of Fox News are in panic mode and why I’m smiling this morning (her ratings are up 93%!!)

I just read the decision and it is delicious. The Judge smacked down the Justice Department (and Trump) hard. And it shows that the DOJ can’t just get away with making arguments in court that are readily contradicted by the statements of the President. For instance, the DOJ had argued that the order was essentially…

Among his sins against the American people is how O’Reilly weaponized the ignorance of some in his audience. He help found the current cadre of far-right thought leaders and helped push their ideas to the mainstream.

I’m sorry that you have to put up with assholes such as these.

Or, if you’re really that good at Jeopardy/trivia, take the wife and meet up with some friends for bar trivia. Rather than fighting, you’re on a team. Get liquored up, and get your drinks paid for when you win. If you’re lucky, she’ll be impressed and you might get to bone to the Tonight Show once you get home.

As someone who also demolishes his wife in Jeopardy!, own it. There may come a day where this is the one thing you have left, and boy howdy will you ever cherish it then. Besides, she’s free to stop any time. But she won’t. I know some people will say this is one of those “You can be happy, or you can be right”…

Well, I’m glad that Exxon is taken care of. They were struggling so.

At the Seattle March. Yes, the “resist” side has functioning string lights. I’m a nerd.

Um...

Not to have ideology, not to have funding of research be left to whimsical venture capitalism, to show support for inclusivity and knowledge progress on fronts that benefit more than one class, to show support for young scientists (who are A METRIC FUCKTON MORE DIVERSE than old scientists, which is a good thing in…

“these people” = some organisers but not most of us. It was political and it’s pretty much just some old head-in-sand white guys who deny that. Those of us who actually have skin in this game marched for it. It’s not nebulous if you’re a scientist; the issues are very real, very personal and very global.

Keep marching but also don’t forget to run for office, register to vote, vote, contact your representatives, write Op-eds for newspapers, be politically active in a party or non-partisan group, donate to organizations that fight for policies that support science and for the inclusion of science in policy, to talk to…

I mean, sure, it’s a nice thought, but this is still no more than some pointless grandstanding that contains no genuine problem solving. Two hours is really god damned fast removal on Facebook’s part. There seems to be a huge lack of understanding of the nature of digital content management on Jesse Jackson’s part. If…

This is untenable for multiple reasons, most of which I’m sure we all recognize.

This is the same deal as with encryption. Create a backdoor/emergency shutoff ostensibly for ‘security’ purposes and then it’s available for anyone in authority to use whenever they choose.
