To celebrate the 200th anniversary of Gregor Mendel’s 1822 birth, scientists exhumed his body and sequenced his DNA. But what would Mendel think about that?

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

Southwest's flight delays & cancellations are beyond unacceptable. This is a company that got a $7 billion taxpayer bailout & will be handing out $428 million in dividends to their wealthy shareholders. @USDOT@twitter.com must hold Southwest's CEO accountable for his greed and incompetence.

Wall Street has consolidated into 5 giant banks.
Airlines have merged from 12 carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
A handful of drug companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
Four giants control over 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Caring for others: the core of civilization.
This one is worth reading.

@bcollinsmn_tgot my experience with Strib comments is that they somehow allow some of the most vile comments but routinely exclude my very insightful critiques of DJ Tice.
@tony oh, I guess it’s not an air b n b. Still a good place to stop—Irondale.
@tony Friends in Irondale have an Air-B-N-B which is nice. Formers chefs at Hard Times. Worth checking out Irondale because there’s a massive urban park (old mines) with trails. They just got epic snow. Campground on Lake Superior North of there called Little Girl Point was nice in August.

Short rant.
Southwest Air has cancelled ~70% of its flights in an epic meltdown this holiday season.
Remember, Southwest took $3.7B in federal aid from 2020-21.
It’s CEO got a pay raise to a $9.1M package in 2022.
Yet Southwest employees are working 16 hour shifts & threatened w/termination if they refuse overtime or call in sick.
Socialism for the wealthy. Capitalism for workers.
Stop trusting billionaires. Start holding them accountable. And start protecting workers.
End Rant.
@maxnesterak @tony was in Ontonagon last August and stumbled upon Amygdaloid St, Syl’s Cafe (pretty good Pasties) and Nonesuch Gallery and the Yonker guitars in the basement.

Three multibillionaires now own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 160 million Americans.
Don’t tell us we can’t afford a wealth tax on the super-rich.

28 U.S. Code § 455 requires that “any justice, judge, or magistrate judge of the United States shall disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.”
If Thomas fails to recuse himself from Moore v Harper, he'll be breaking that law.
