The perfect abbreviation doesn’t exis…
Also, sorry everyone — I’ve been swamped lately. This was supposed to be my semester with a slightly lighter teaching load, but now it’s been increased by about 50% (just for this term, fortunately), and I’m going slightly insane. Add to that that the spiders are suddenly impressively fecund, and I have to do a lot of lab maintenance. Quickies are all I can manage.
A common problem among men our age.
Or so I’m told.
re: spiders. I’ve seen the images on insta, and they are excellent.
Off-topic, sorry. But everyone needs to see this Scott Adams monologue:

Jesus. Kill his syndication.
And the “joke” in Dilbert today is an anti-trans line about not respecting pronouns.
Love Mrs Bowers. Always a pithy comment. Great videos as well.
I confess, it took a few dwinks for my bwain to parse the joke.
Two things. First, Betty Bowers once said that the difference between Christians and Atheists is that Atheists are honest about not following Jesus.
Second, Scott Adams once said that he most identifies with Wally. ’nuff said.
PZ has more students… and more spiders.
I think the latter problem can solve the former.
Might that be slightly more insane?
That is my experience
@3. flange :
Which poll? It’s never specified there. I’m, guessing it doesn’t actually say what Adams claims it says.. Also no, that’s not a “hate group” because, by definition, a hate group isn’t an entire ethnic population but an organised group focused mainly on hating on another group or groups eg. the KKK and other White Supremacist groups.
Later Adams admits he’s basing his views on anecdata coming from stuff he sees on social media seemingly indicating he does not know how algorithims work and probly that he spends too much time watching clips that are by racists for racists.
.. & aimed at inciting more racism.
It took me a while – I think because I’m used to Nazi with a long, not short ‘a’. Rhymes with ‘heart’, not ‘hat’ hereabouts.
😂
Scott Adams is barking up the wrong tree. It is the Elders of the Inuits that are the problem. One day they will come paddling south in their kayaks, wreaking havoc on the southern civilisation.
PS I realised this watching the semi-documentary series “Game of Thrones”. It was on TV, just like Tucker Carlson.
I think of Nationalist Christians as just precisely what they are and want to be.
Zero targets.

Hopefully Carlson won’t be on the TV much longer. Dominion sued Fox for defamation and there is coming more sh*t from the sewer than already expected.
“Murdoch’s company is being exposed for what it is: a disinformation-for-profit noise machine controlled by a vile billionaire and operated by a pack of jackals who distort and pervert the national discourse.”
