...but it would be quite the stretch to assert that the bible was written by whites.

Looking forward to funny Irish music NOW. Right NOW. The whole month should have been this already. Irish have Sooooooooo many funny songs.

My view was Canada St., but then they built a taller building kind of ruining the skyline view.
Need to find access to a rooftop pool. For photography ;-)

I have gotten some great photos from a very similar vantage point.

Are you suggesting the bible was written by white men? While one of them certainly was responsible for a lot of mistranslation...

Slash population first before building. Deport those who break the law.

Trees don't do well with paving all around their roots, especially when the city won't water them in droughts.

Your art should be getting a lot more attention.

A detailed digital composite image based on the 1947 historical photograph of geneticist Barbara McClintock. McClintock, with her characteristic short hair and round glasses, is seated at a microscope, using tweezers in a Petri dish. While based on the original photo distributed for her AAUW award, this image presents a significantly expanded and fictionalized laboratory environment. The simple wooden workbench is now densely populated with a vast, colorized collection of complex glassware, numerous amber-colored reagent bottles, intricate distillation columns, and botanical specimens relevant to maize cytogenetics, creating a rich, illustrative narrative of her "jumping gene" research context that was not present in the original photo. The expanded background shows complex vintage laboratory cabinetry. This image explicitly states it is a composite: a digital recreation where Seriously Scientific has taken the historical figure and placed them into an augmented, complex fictionalized environment. Based on original source from Smithsonian Institution Archives. Digital composite by Seriously Scientific.

Remembering Barbara McClintock on International Women's Day!
She discovered that genes aren't static, they can actually "jump" around on a chromosome.

Her discovery of transposons ("jumping genes") fundamentally changed how we understand evolution and the complexity of DNA! 🧬🌽

People aren't taking this seriously. This isn't about "Oh it's religious coercion" or "This is violating the spirit of the 1st amenedment wall".
NO. This is about fucking lunatics who see themselves as fulfilling bullshit in the Book of Revelations. Crazy people ought not be in the chain of command.

This kind of rhetoric is deeply disturbing.

In America, no leader is β€œanointed.” Our service members swear an oath to the Constitutionβ€”not to a person, a party, or a β€œprophecy”.

On the other hand the Apple I cost $666.66. Pretty sure no keyboard was included.

So @troytassier.bsky.social has written up the results from my @yalesph.bsky.social colleague @rafalpx.bsky.social's brand new paper in PLoS Comp Bio. Read it. With a guest appearance by #KristiNoem. troytassier.substack.com/p/screw-covi...
