@futurebird I was interacting with a Republican claiming economic hardship,.She was complaining that it cost $80 to fill up her gas tank. It cost me $25 to fill up my tiny car's gas tank yesterday. The only people paying $80 to fill up are people driving SUVs and pickups that cost $50k or more. She's not experiencing economic hardship. She's a wealthy person who made a bad choice and bought a dumb car and somehow wants to blame Joe Biden for that.

@futurebird You could also donate to the Entomological Society of America (or another major entomological society) to support people who study ants.The ESA's Chrysalis fund in particular supports insect education and outreach, which seems like the ants would appreciate.https://www.entsoc.org/support/funds

@david_chisnall @futurebird I agree with this with the caveat that we have to be very intentional in how we teach it because students are weird sponges and sometimes only remember the hypothesis that was found to be wrong, without remembering the wrong part.And this is why I don't talk about Lamarckism during intro biology anymore. Way too many of them grasped onto inheritance of acquired characteristics because we talked about it first and never learned how evolution actually works.

@futurebird That is awesome! I always felt bad about romancing Maru just so I could look through her telescope. Awesome roommates are good too!

@futurebird I remember my brother going on CompuServe message boards in the 1980s to get hints for Infocom text adventures. There would have definitely been AOL forums for Stardew Valley.

@TonyStark They made Jimmy Carter sell his peanut farm, but JD Vance gets to get rich by selling American farmland to foreign investors.

@futurebird And US prisons are already terrible. We incarcerate a higher % of our population than anyone else, and we treat them terribly.

@futurebird Some people I know who are extremely online leftists have dismissed me as an academic as "PMC" and therefore not a real worker. It is so frustrating. If I don't work, we don't have a home, food, health insurance, etc. I'm in a union (utterly powerless because state employees in GA can't collective bargain). Any cost of living raise is entirely up to the state legislature. This shit is so pernicious. It is absolutely about dividing us to weaken our power.

If you've written an academic book, it's worth going here and seeing if Anthropic stole it. You get a few thousand dollars, which as we all know is not nothing for writing an academic book. #AcademicChatter https://secure.anthropiccopyrightsettlement.com/lookup

@futurebird We have received a lot of furniture from family as my parents downsized their house and we lost grandparents whose houses were emptied and sold. It really is a blessing to have really nice solid wood furniture made last century by people who were good at making things (vs our Ikea sofa on its last legs).

@futurebird It looks like she's probably planning to run for Ossoff's Senate seat. It was announced yesterday that the current leader in the Republican primary, Rep Mike Collins, and his campaign manager are being investigated by the House Ethics Committee. Their report is set to be released Jan 5, the day MTG is resigning. She must know what's in it and know it's bad enough that he's going to have to drop out.https://www.ajc.com/politics/2025/11/us-rep-mike-collins-chief-of-staff-facing-house-ethics-investigation/
