He’s not playing chess literally. He’s not playing chess figuratively. He’s not playing chess on any level of abstraction whatsoever. I doubt he can play chess.

Scientists Discover Way To Reverse Chemical Process Linked With Alzheimer’s Disease By watching Alzheimer’s-related protein clumping unfold second by second, researchers have uncovered new clues about the role of metal ions.

This amazing scientific advance may one day lead to either more effective treatments or dare I say perhaps a cure.
This is why it is vitally important to fund basic scientific research.

Cold lake is squelching the convection. We're not far enough south to see decent activity.

The homeowner in me is relieved.

The weather enthusiast is sad.

Classic WTF: The Complicator's Gloves It's a particularly busy week for me: on top of a few looming deadlines, I'll be at Business of Software 2008 in Boston. So, I figured it'd be the perfect opportunity to revisit some classics. The Com...

Every time I read about self-driving cars or electric vehicles or any of the other patchwork solutions to the fundamental problem of our sprawling, poorly designed built environment, I remember the story of The Complicator's Gloves.

Disability Day of Mourning is a day dedicated to grieving disabled people who’ve been killed by their caregivers.

The people we entrust to keep us safe are often the ones most likely to hurt us.

Why? Because ableism is violence but the non disabled don’t see it that way.

Highly recommend maintaining your bookkeeping every month. Otherwise, you end up doing it all manually at the end of the tax year and yelling "WTF" every 5 minutes.

I don't comment on a lot of things to keep my space here safe for people who rely on the positive notes while avoiding things that are causing them harm; I trust y'all generally know how I feel about things.

Anyway today is a good day for self care. Be kind to yourself please.

Donate to Help Cat & family seek out new life, new civilizations, organized by Cat Bailey Hi there! I'm Cat, a very nerdy single mom to two teens and some cat… Cat Bailey needs your support for Help Cat & family seek out new life, new civilizations

I spent a year trying to avoid asking for help. But my kids, cats, and I are about to be homeless. No car anymore.

I have a plan to keep my family safe, but I can't do it alone. Even a repost helps.

As a late-middle-aged suburban white guy I am probably not Bad Bunny’s target audience. Hadn’t heard him before. Liked it. Wasn’t, like, I’m going to stop listening to opera and Bon Jovi and the Cars and stuff and but I would definitely listen again, and I can’t see how anyone would DISLIKE it.

Sarah Kendzior on Trumpland’s Criminal Distortions of American Reality It is common to hear that Americans no longer inhabit a shared reality. To a large extent this is true, especially in an era of social media manipulation, but we did not share a reality in simpler …

From THEY KNEW, excerpted here in 2022: "It became reasonable to believe that a critical mass of people in power were either criminals, pedophiles, or traitors, or that they were being blackmailed, bribed, or threatened by a criminal, pedophile, or traitor."

Before Keith Porter, Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti… ICE killed a father after he dropped his kids off at school.

We didn’t hear much about it because he was undocumented.

They said he was trying to flee & shot him in the back of the neck.

Silverio Villegas-GonzΓ‘lez.

Don’t forget him.
