Always fight back.
It’s the only way some of this stuff gets opposed.

So very often.

“Teleport to bus stop on other side of river“ is as good as “drive underwater for 55 minutes”

I feel like anyone programming this stuff should spend at least a day using what they programmed.

DOJ confirmed that 47,635 Epstein files have been removed.

That’s ANOTHER 47,635 reasons why we need ACCOUNTABILITY!

Not only are these the worst people, they are also the dumbest.

Yes, been said many many times before. But it never fails to astound.

Google Maps will regularly tell me to drive across the waters of Puget Sound - when I specifically ask for transit instructions to try to see the ferry schedule.

Don’t worry.
Some billionaire or other will figure out a way to cut it down, make it endangered, package it in a blister package and make us buy it too.

People would also have to be willing to pay more.

The stuff in the Middle East is cheap to obtain

After the 1970s oil embargo bankrupted the county, Brazil set out for energy independence, but gasoline is $1.165/liter vs USA of $0.892*

Iran's participation in Seattle World Cup match up in the air following US strikes The future of the FIFA Men's World Cup, including a match scheduled to be played in Seattle, is up in the air after the attacks by the United States and Israel

Egypt and Iran are scheduled to face off in a World Cup match in Seattle.

Seems like it would be a good idea for FIFA to move that to Mexico.

How’s that FIFA Peace Prize working out?

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! 🧬🌽
