Sadly, scientists are human beings, too

Interestingly, both male and female scientists seemed biased toward male job applicants.

One thought on “Sadly, scientists are human beings, too”

But there is no way I'm biased! I'm a scientist! Pinnacle or reason and critical thinking …

Unfortunately there is more to these topics than intelligence.

Oh, NOW, he wants other countries involved in his #IranWar, now that it's going too long, costing too much, and getting too unpopular at home. Well played, Mr President.

[The Washington Post] Appointee wants to replace White House columns with the ones Trump prefers.

You can never go wrong with architecturally suckling up to #Trump, especially if you are making things fancier, especially if you wait for *him* to be the one to suggest #gilding it.

"Brother, can you spare the dime?"

The #TrumpRegime is releasing a new #dime (ostensibly only for the #sesquicentennial). Of course they've gotten rid of that commie FDR on the obverse. More importantly, the US #Eagle on the reverse has ditched the #olivebranch and only carries arrows.

Subtle they are not.

I have little but contempt for either #MegynKelly or #TuckerCarlson and the role they've played in where the US is today. But apparently they have at least the slightest bit of independent thought, even if they instantly caveat it up one side and down the other.

#Trump's "L'MAGA, c'est moi" response is ... honestly terrifying. He *is* the #DearLeader, with all that implies about my nation's future.

" #WhiteHouse addresses 'redness' on the side of #Trump's neck"

Could be completely harmless, normal thing. But Trump's vain unwillingness to show *any* sign of "weakness" makes things look worse.

Almost enough to make me *support* getting rid of the department.

In the non-screedy side of my life, we had a nice pre-Valentine's Day Valentine's Day evening, with tasty unhealthy food jointly made, a rewatch of our favorite silly action-romance (Undercover Blues), and some anime (You're Under Arrest OVA)

Good times.

Of course, #Trump also seems to think we should hear and obey his feelings about the #SuperBowlHalftimeShow and the NFL's kickoff rule.

I'm Old Enough To Remember when Republicans (and Democrats, for that matter), complained about media figures talking about stuff that had nothing to do with their job or area of expertise.

Indeed, that's still the line used when actors discuss political matters.

So in what universe are we supposed to be at all interested in what #DonaldTrump thinks about who's (not) being voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

Who needs to know what the #StateDepartment did before the #TrumpRegime assumed power? That was all just woke, fake history, anti-America-First bad stuff. Even the first Trump Regime's record should be hidden (since that was being sabotaged by the Deep State).

So purge the historical record (or hide it, for the time being, behind a #FOIA wall). Pay no attention to the past. The past is what the Regime says it was. We have, after all, always been at war with Eastasia.
