Sorry for the emphasis but THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND NASA HAVE GONE ROGUE. I’m not kidding. After they began tweeting about climate change (in defiance of Trump), he took down their Twitter pages. Now several government employees are tweeting under the monikers AltUSNatParkSerice and RogueNASA. Badlands is in…

He’s got time to pester the Natinal Park Services about this bullshit, but he can’t be bothered to direct ANYONE at FEMA to assist with the devastation from the storms in the south east.

Me too. Fuck ‘em. We pay the vast majority of federal taxes in the country and it’s redistributed to states like Mississippi. If they won’t give us federal funds we should stop paying federal taxes.

Also, to be clear, there is a generational split within the Cuban American community. The older generation is still mad about Kennedy/Castro. The younger generation is majority Democrat and little different than any other group of that persuasion.

Because it’s not about whether they’re criminals…

Ugh. Enough already. I’m a millennial. I have a PhD. I work 65 hours a week, easily. Slide off that high horse and back into your recliner.

traditionally millennials are hesitant to become politicians for various reasons because they expect to get paid much more than they are worth and don’t want to work more than 30 hours a week.have hundreds of thousands of dollars in nondischargable student loans and can’t risk losing their barely-livable wages on a…

Do you honestly know a lot of millennials that don’t want to work full time or are you just fond of making shit up? Among my peers I know exactly zero with that sentiment.

Word?

I hate this trope so very much. I am solidly in the millennial group. I’ve worked since I was 14, and I am going to school for a masters while working 50 hours a week at a law firm. I own my own home. My own vehicle. I am married. Every single person I know my age works and are in substantively similar situations. I…

Even taking into account that your contention is ludicrious, aren’t politicians notoriously overpaid and underworked?

That’s why their hesitant? Do politicians even work 30 hours a month for the millions they make behind the scenes thanks to the lobbyists that essentially run our country?

Poland?

Publically funded science is supposed to be available to the public. Silencing scientists on their research results is not only persecution, it’s active sabotage, and prevents them from doing their job in the service of the people whose tax dollars pay them.

They can, and do. But that’s not the point. The point is that this is PUBLIC (and partially publicly-funded) science, that the American people have a stake in. The government has a vested interest in the results of studies that help us understand human health, food safety, the environment, etc. so that they can make…

Yeah, I hate when folks like Phil Plaitt or Neil DeGrasse Tyson are told “STICK TO SCIENCE!” Ours isn’t the side that decided to politicize science. So long as looking at a science book and shouting “NUH UH” is a political stand taken by one side, then science (and by extension scientists) is inherently being…

Shrimp is a major world food source, they live in an environment that is currently being stressed. Testing how shrimp react to stressed environments is fucking important research you moron.

I can’t wait to read complaints about “unemployed eggheads who are sucking on the teat of government grants and bullying Trump with their big brains and fact-based persective” in my Facebook feed.

What’s wrong with shrimp on a treadmill? Researching how ocean warming and pollution will affect shrimp and thus commercial shrimp fisheries seems perfectly reasonable to me.
