ty for linking to the old 500DoK articels

Not to detract from the real issues here, but who picks out Rhee’s wardrobe? Is she wearing a hoopskirt, or did she just stuff a regular dress full of umbrellas? And then pairing that with what amounts to a fancy red trenchcoat...

See! I love the blacks! I love the Chinese! And they love me! We’re going to get so much done, believe me. We’re going to be educating all the people to be the best Americans, absolutely. And then we’re going to be so educated, so educated, folks, that we’ll have great jobs that will make America great again. It’s…

It might also be a good idea to have them live in their own separate neighborhoods. They all like to hang out with their own kind anyway. Plus those ethnic neighborhoods are always so quaint and the food there is tasty!

What about slavery? The southern states were doing really well when that was around, could we look into seeing if we could bring that back?

I really thought “Agent Orange” = Trump for a second there

One of the things I noticed is how... tough she looks now. It makes me realize that during the election, her hair was always done up and her face was always softened with makeup, but now she’s over that and now she can let loose somewhat and get back to doing whatever she’s doing. And while that is some comfort to me,…

Cattle have the same effects as horses on the landscape (trampling, grazing, defecation), but cattle at least are useful to humans, can be controlled, and more closely occupy the ecological niche of essentially extinct bison (but see Bundy et al. 2014 and on). The BLM does issue permits for cattle ranchers to graze…

Does that cat have camel toe?? :O

Because it’s medicine with pop culture mixed in? I would like to see more medical topics covered on Gizmodo, btw

I feel like that’s incredibly expensive though, after you round these herds up you have to sort through a group of giant angry biting kicking animals, geld all the male individuals, and then track them afterwards to make sure you didn’t miss any. That would take a lot of tranquilizers, helicopters, manpower, and…

They mistreat them (i.e. rounding them up in pens and doing nothing with them) because people get butthurt about killing the beautiful horseys, despite the fact that they overgraze, trample vegetation, and compete with livestock for food. Maintaining those herds in captivity is taking up more and more of their budget…

THANK YOU

That is so great! Unfortunately I am not at this time a professional scientist, having not even started applying to doctorate programs yet! I just don’t feel ready to make that commitment and need some more non-academic experience before I decide what I want to do with myself. But I do have programs I am interested in…

I’m not sure why you’re accusing me of all this, because that was not relevant to the thrust of my comment to you. I literally agreed with what you said, just wanted to offer a clarification that would make your point easier to communicate. You’re confusing ‘armchair science’ vs. ‘field work’ with ‘academic’ vs.…

I was actually thinking about this problem recently with an editorial in Nature calling for scientists to actually advocate for implementation of conservation measures based on research rather than simply continuously refining their methods and publishing ever more ‘suggestions’. I see it as similar to problems with…

Your point is taken, but I think you have a slight misconception of what “ivory tower means as a term, because it is not just about wealth or social status. “The ivory tower” used to describe elitism among intellectuals in academia, who weren’t necessarily wealthy but were seen as spending their time dreaming up and…

You have a point, but even if scientists all tried to lobby Congress nothing would happen. “The scientific community” is a loosely coordinated group of otherwise independent intellectuals with no economic backing. There’s no way we could match the lobbying power of coal and gas companies, and that’s disregarding the…

My opinion has always been
