Cantankerous astrophysicist and editor. Grandfather and dog owner. I could probably drink less coffee. I think about magnetized turbulence and what it means for the universe.

Hoyle was one of the few astronomers that my mother had heard of and had an opinion about. As a microbiologist she had no commitment to the Big Bang but after Hoyle trash talked archaeopteryx fossils and claimed flu viruses came from space, she despised him with all her heart and soul.

It really is grotesque that we have to tolerate, and accept as fellow citizens, these despicable subnormal freaks who delight in evil and threaten everything that makes America great with their sick fantasies. On the other hand honestly the furries can be kind of irritating too.
Self-described “gay furry hackers” breached the Heritage Foundation in an attempt to undermine Project 2025, so of course an executive director at the right-wing think tank threatened them as “degenerate perverts” who would face God’s punishment and the FBI.

I’m told that Saskatoon is a grotesquely mispronounced version of a phrase meaning “where the berries are”, possibly in Cree.

Also Saskatoon berries, in certain areas. :-)
