Today, Sidney Powell and L. Lin Wood are in (virtual) court about their involvement in the Kraken filings.
It's basically pitiful pass the blame bs.

Turning on each other is definitely going to help their case(s).

I received 2 postcards this weekend announcing that the childcare $ is in part because on Levin voting yes, and that NO Rs voted for it. I like the grassroots post cards program and think it’s smart to tell every voter that wouldn’t necessarily follow it that the Rs don’t deserve any credit.

I also saw this story on WaPo, about a DC vaccine lottery winner. He is a vet and just wound up in a homeless shelter. He won a year's pass on metro and he said it's changed his life and can now access appointments and services to help him get back on track. Pretty terrible that he has to win a lottery to get this benefit. DC can do better. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2021/07/11/homeless-veteran-wins-vaccine-lottery/

My Twitter timeline has been full of people blasting the billionaire space race, and it’s bringing me lots of joy.

Texas Democrats planning to flee state to stop votes. ...At least 58 Democratic lawmakers will fly out of Austin on chartered flights to Washington, D.C, NBC News reports. The move is meant to deny Republicans the necessary number of lawmakers present to hold a special session of the legislature convened last week by Governor Greg Abbott. Republicans want to pass a litany of bills tightening voting laws, banning the teaching of so-called critical race theory, restricting transgender athletes in public schools, and making it harder to obtain an abortion.... link
ETA sorry, just saw story already posted

I really struggle to not wish ill on him, but he is doing a state wide tour on CRT. The sad part is, this incoherent jumble of words will be accepted and praised by the GQP.

Really cool science coming out of UC Berkeley about methane metabolizing extrachromosomal symbiotic genomes called BORGS. There are huge environmental, evolutionary, and technological implications from the discovery. Think CRISPR in terms of potential importance (Banfield and Doudna are actually collaborators).

Very cool!! I sent this to my Trekkie parents. Hopefully they don’t mind that the plural used is BORGs 😉

I’m so fucking proud of them. Same. I was like…is this pride I feel? In something Texas legislators did? I absolutely love that they are not backing down on Abbott’s desperate attempts to get re-elected with this round of shitty bills that the majority of Texans don’t support.
