I live in Colorado, USA. I'm almost constantly hiking. I'm interested in humanities, computers, physics, and other sciences. I worked in physics and computer science for 30 years. I am a lucky guy!

Gary Larson is STILL making new cartoons!!!(…!)

He retired, but he still publishes on a great website:
https://www.thefarside.com/new-stuff

New ones were published on December 7, 2023. The older ones are nearby, too!

@RickiTarr It sells tickets. When will it/he be released?

BREAKING: Supreme Court, on 5-4 vote, grants DOJ request to enforce immigration policy over Texas decisions to install razor wire fencing along the border. The 5th Circuit had sided with Texas. The Chief Justice and Justice Barrett joined the three Dem appointees.

@chrisgeidner @thepoliticalcat So, for now, it's official. No one in the US can use a state to officially torture and kill women, children, and anybody else. Good luck to us all. And thank you Justices Roberts and Barrett, for your heartfelt help.

Thank you, Teri @Teri_Kanefield! (And thank you Chuck @ATurnOfTheNut!) I hadn't read Stephanie Jones' writing until now. She's great. Her writing really gets you, right in your heart.

Here's another blog entry of hers. Just because it also really got to me.

Notice you never hear the media talking about Fox News, much, if at all? If you don’t think they are a huge driver of this stylish fascism, you haven’t watched Fox lately. THEY are the true enemy of the people, and the Left, or whatever you call ‘not fascist’ is not only powerless to stop them, they don’t even seem too interested in stopping them. Nothing worries me more than that.

@lin11c @steter @shoq FOX screeches "FIRE" in crowded theaters every chance they get. They should be squelched.

WHO Overturns Dogma on Airborne Disease Spread. The CDC Might Not Act on It.

https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/infectioncontrol/109934?xid=nl_mpt_DHE_2024-05-05&eun=g2199647d0r

This important news even if most people that care already new it. It’s important on the face of it, it’s important the WHO is acknowledging it (again), AND it’s important that the CDC still won’t admit it.

Masks work. Indoor fresh-air ventilation works. The US Gov’t says, “Your job is to keep shopping…nothing to see here.”

People are DYING here.

Fairy wasp, the size of a printed period.
No. 90891644 from https://www.mindenpictures.com/stock-photo/battledore-wing-fairy-fly-(mymar-sp)-female-preserved-specimen-from-antique/search/detailmodal-0_90891644.html
Battledore-wing fairy fly (Mymar sp.) female…amongst the smallest insects on the planet…they are wasps rather than flies. They are so tiny that air is relatively thick and viscous to them. Their stalked wings are rimmed with fine hairs, enabling them to effectively row through the viscous air.

Here's one of the few more modern articles I found about this Arc gene and how brains work. "Arc Regulates Transcription of Genes for Plasticity, Excitability and Alzheimer’s Disease"
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9405677/

This link results in lots of technical articles, including one from this year:

Ed Yong has posted another great one.
The Ed's Up - Birding for Long-Haulers
https://buttondown.email/edyong209/archive/the-eds-up-birding-for-long-haulers/

He’s taken up birding recently. (His PHOTOS!) He just started bird outings near Oakland, CA for COVID Long-Haulers—still trying to work out all the bugs.

I recommend all his stuff: books, articles, PHOTOS and blogging.

In Feb 2023, US FDA and the CDC identified bacteria in EzriCare Artificial Tears. In total, the outbreak affected 81 people across 18 states, including 14 who suffered vision loss, 4 who required removal of an eye, and 4 deaths.

I'm truly sorry these people suffered and died. It is disastrous and terrible.

Here's a heartfelt THANK YOU to the FDA and CDC, and other investigators and reporters, for preserving MY eyes and MY life.

Douglas R. Hofstadter (author of Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid):
"GEB is a very personal attempt to say how it is that animate beings can come out of inanimate matter. What is a self, and how can a self come out of stuff that is as selfless as a stone or a puddle?"

This book is STILL my favorite. Now, many years after the first edition won a Pulitzer in 1979, it is still in print, and still in great demand.

I LOVE lots of books. But this one...

Today at Scarborough. Absolutely perfect :)

Golden sandy shore with beach vegetation (Casuarina sp, and Norfolk pines) on the land side, and a calm blue ocean beneath a clear blue sky beyond. Just a few scattered white clouds on the horizon

Cliburn and Moulton reintroduced the legislation, today! It would be a fair deal if it included MUCH more. Fairness delayed will always stay behind. But that means we need to go WAY beyond fair--for justice's sake. https://mastodon.sdf.org/@timo21/110775124442388439
