Mucoid pseudomonas is uniquely gross. And it was contaminating our SOC 😬

The list of ICE and Customs and Border Protection sex offenders and sex pests is now up to 62.

I just noticed that you're a pharmacist, did they like. Summon you to counsel an inpatient about this???

I absolutely don't blame that patient! The logic is just amusing to me, but I completely respect her prioritizing her celiac, even if her understanding of the situation was inaccurate.

You know, come to think of it, my prescription bottle just says amlodipine, no sign of besylate

I mostly have experience with bacterial and mammalian cell culture, but the idea that
A. Modern penicillin is still grown from penicillium fungus
B. We culture that fungus on bread
is very amusing to me

As Rachel points out on her Instagram, notice that the guy at the front has a Totenkopf on his quarter zip.

That's why Maine Democrats should not let anyone displaying Nazi symbols near the United States Senate

It’s day 94 of the ICE occupation of MN.

Today we’re celebrating Jason Chavez, a local hero in the resistance to ICE.

Impending Strikes at PCC Might Be the Testing Ground for a Controversial Piece of Legislation If the strikes drag on, PCC could be a case study for whether unemployment benefits strengthen the determination of employees to hold out for a better deal.

Thanks @wweek.com and @joannah11.bsky.social for covering my union's potentially history-making strike. We do not wish to be a test case for SB 916, but it's nice to know that our members will have access to unemployment benefits if this drags on a few weeks

NIH Says It Will No Longer Recognize the Research Fellows’ Union NIH leadership said the union β€œshould never have been certified,” in an email to the union’s leadership.

NIH leadership wants to strip worker's rights from the majority of scientists on its campuses.

But, the NIH does not get to say whether we are a union or not. We do, and we are no strangers to having to fight for our union. Time for a short history lesson. 1/n

Once again reminding everyone that the majority of people stranded in the UAE are not influencers or expats or tourists, but South Asian (and SE Asian and African) workers whose passports are often controlled by their employers and whose govts have made no attempts to repatriate.

for context this is like going to a grocery store and asking to purchase a potassium-free banana and then calling the manager over to proclaim you'll be taking your business elsewhere, to a competent grocery store that sells potassium-free bananas

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

The Swiss won't reveal which bank accounts hold Jewish property looted by the Nazis, but for this they just roll over.

ICE detains reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany RodrΓ­guez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

this is such a good point. I've been waiting my whole life for a robot butler/maid, a flying car, a jet pack, and even just an incredibly realistic baseball video game. If there was anything cool in the slightest about it, I'd be all over it. it's actively hateful and sucky.

We need to go back to slapping people and banning them from establishments like when Google Glass first came out.

War is hell, but there is a special eternal hell reserved for people who would double tap a girls’ school, and it is our job to have scrupulously fair trials and then usher the people responsible for it there

Squidward appears in Gurren Lagann, but when SpongeBob showed up in Undead Unluck he had a mosaic. This strongly implies Spongebob became pornographic sometime between 2007 & 2023.

There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.

Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very oftenβ€”and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
