If you follow anyone who even suggests breaking the 5th Commandment is acceptable, I will block that account and unfollow you.
Killing others is wrong. Full stop.

If you don't understand that families must grieve the untimely death of their loved one, I don't know what to say to you.
No. I do know what to say. God will absolutely judge you harshly when your time comes.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(Matthew 5:3-5:10)

βElect Zach Lahn, who will actually honor his commitments.β
Really, @WillSchademann?
Hey @RobSandIA you said that you would agree to a 4 debate format and now you are backing out of your commitment you promised Iowa voters. Elect @ZachLahn who will actually honor his commitments! Scared Sand at it again!

There should be no tolerance for online harassment, and it can escalate into serious danger.
PEN has some starter resources for how to help, whether as a target or ally. Happy to chat too with those new to dealing with it. If you're a scientist, you will deal with it sooner or later, not just the one-off bots/trolls, but the chronic harassers.

Taylor has dealt with this extensively and covers it in her work. Online harassment disproportionately targets women. The perpetrators are overwhelmingly men, often deeply-insecure and unstable middle-aged men with way too much time on their hands. It is important to recognize that. If you don't already, you will notice that pattern more and more.
I love living in Lake Effect Snowlandia.

Last winter's total snowfall, when compared to what we're expecting this year, may not be all that different IMO.
Probably a little less across the New England coast and Northern Plains and a little more in the Southwest, but outside of that, I could see the general season total being pretty close to last season.
The US passed 5000 measles cases today.
The CDC reported 4588, but their data are more lagged than mine because I source directly from county and state health departments.
I was in elementary school the last time the US had that many annual measles cases. I'm 47 years old. I grew up in a country that prized vaccinating our children and keeping us safe from preventable infections.
89 new cases were reported today.
Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin reported cases.

Joe Mitchell: "Thank God you're building the ballroom. Thank God you're getting rid of those awful bike lanes. We don't ride bicycles in Iowa."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Iowa has extensive cycling infrastructure including bike lanes and trails, plus RAGBRAI, the world's largest multi-day bicycle tour which has crossed the state annually since 1973 with thousands of riders.

Winter is measles-season. Wear a respirator in all shared air spaces.
The US doesn't deserve to retain our measles elimination status. Anti-vaxxers run HHS.
