My utter disgust at the sentiment is nearly as bad as my utter astonishment this man is not in a psychiatric facility.

I'd rather they try to distract us with bread and circuses.

Listening to my students talk about their dating lives is...something. These young women know what they want and are not at all pleased with the quality of young men they find themselves surrounded by.

A reasonably empathic young gentleman is usually covered up with female attention around here.

I was a student off and on for 40 years. Now I teach - which is its own type of scholarship.

I have no plans just to let my mind stagnate.

This is a senator from my state. I can confirm voters here are ..... undereducated. Yeah, that's a polite term.

Worrying astronomers? How about anyone concerned with anything even vaguely associated with common sense?

I cannot even BEGIN to articulate how bad of an idea this is.

An intricate octopus cut from a single piece of paper

Japanese artist Masayo Fukuda hand-cut this life-sized octopus from one sheet of paper. Known as Kirie in Japanese (translated as β€œcut picture”), the art form involves cutting intricate forms from a single sheet of white paper and then contrasting it against a black background to reveal the design.

The minority party in the AR Leg has significant power. Big spending bills require 75% and the GOP is currently sitting around 81%. It would only take flipping 2-3 more seats to give Dems leverage they do not currently have.

I mean, if regime change is such a good idea, could we try it here first to see how it goes?

Agreed. I am 58. I find it nigh criminal I was not taught the work of Mr. Baldwin in school. I have a BA in Political Science and his writings were not required then. It wasn't until years later I became fully aware of him.

Why bother with a racist show run by maga sex perverts when you can watch Japanese lesbians fighting giant pandas with a hammer?

In my personal experience, scientists without at least some reasonable background in the arts and humanities tend to be inferior scientists. Liberal arts trained researchers tend to be FAR more creative in their lines of inquiry.
