13-го января в Москве прошло прощание с интернет-предпринимателем Владимиром Волошиным, погибшим вместе с супругой и ребёнком 8-го января текущего года в дорожно-транспортном происшествии. Владимир Волошин, получивший медицинское образование, был одним из первопроходцев-создателей тематических проектов, в том числе "медицинского" и "женского" интернета. Создавал он их ещё в период развития Рунета, когда работа в выбранных им направлениях не всегда считалась перспективной - Eva.ru была запущено в 2002-м году, остальные проекты ещё раньше.

Торговая площадка разослала продавцам электронные письма, в котором уведомила их о возможности добровольно отказаться от компенсации за сгоревший в середине января 2024 г. на складе в Шушарах товар..

Компания Lamoda в рамках проекта Lamoda Planet продаёт носки со Сталиным бренда Babushka как входящие в список экологичных, этичных, инклюзивных или благотворительных: Несмотря на некоторую двусмысленность такого позиционирования товара с изображением столь противоречивой исторической фигуры как Иосиф Сталин, носки действительно соответствуют одному из критериев Lamoda Planet: по определению этичности программы достаточно чтобы товар производился близко к потребителю. Это позволяет одновременно и снизить углеродный след при доставке товара, и поддержать экономику регионов находящихся рядом с покупателями. Бренд Babushka работает по оферте предпринимателя Вадима Квасова из Ростова-на-Дону.

"Oh my god, you guys! I am so excited to start physical therapy, I woke up early! What a great day! See you all at 4pm for dinner, after my nap!"

Have a wonderful weekend, friends.

America has not been attacked like this since 9/11. Six unelected people forcing their christian nationalist agenda on a population of three hundred and forty million is not a Democracy. It is tyranny.

When I was young, I thought dudes in their 50s were lame and had nothing to offer. Now that I'm one of those dudes, I understand what a gift it is when you ask me to share my experiences.

Okay, so. I'm developing this Star Trek Lower Decks fan fiction I call The Wedding Crusher.

I am anguished, I am heartbroken, I am afraid of what's coming for people I love. I am shocked that my country just gave 247 years of Democracy away over one night. We live in a different country now, than we did when we woke up, yesterday. Exactly how violent and cruel and hateful this new country is has yet to be revealed, but it's going to be pretty terrible.

Comics Curmudgeon readers! Do you love this blog and yearn for a novel written by its creator? Well, good news: Josh Fruhlinger's The Enthusiast is that novel! It's even about newspaper comic strips, partly. Check it out! It is Friday: the day of the week when I showcase the top comment that were posted on […]

Comics Curmudgeon readers! Do you love this blog and yearn for a novel written by its creator? Well, good news: Josh Fruhlinger's The Enthusiast is that novel! It's even about newspaper comic strips, partly. Check it out! Beetle Bailey, 11/9/24 I know it’s just because of basic newspaper comic strip art hackery, but it really […]

Republicans seem to be proud of their ‘solution’ for abortion: they’ll just devolve everything to the states and local authorities, so they don’t have their callousness and brutality thrown into their faces on the national level anymore. As far as I’m concerned, this is the worst possible solution. It puts women under the thumb of […]

Today I’m teaching a perilous topic: the eclipse of Darwinism. There was a period of several decades where you could make an honest intellectual argument against evolution, roughly from the time it was first published (1860) to the development of population genetics (say, roughly 1920). All the arguments since then are fundamentally garbage, but before […]

I went to the polls as soon as they opened. Here in small town America, voting is painless — no lines, no problems, just instant service and quick gratification. However, it did feel a bit grim and unsatisfying. I felt like I’d been sent out to stop a raging, drug-addled hippopotamus with a hatpin, and […]

Remember, pretty does not mean it doesn’t have a savage bite.

If all of us take little steps to deprive billionaires of some of their power, maybe we can eventually make them care about us little people. Here are some simple things that could make them sting a little bit. Obviously, get off Twitter. There’s no excuse anymore — tweeting enables fascists. Unsubscribe from any big, […]

A silly speculation: what if you die, go to heaven, and discover that a god had a set of fundamental rules that it didn’t tell anyone about? I was initially sympathetic to the idea that a god would judge you for doing harm to small helpless creatures — I avoid killing insects without cause — […]

The rich have a well-funded network that has been poisoning the collective mind of the country, yet somehow they have failed to penetrate my soft, permeable, liberal skull. How could that be? There it is, they targeted “gaming, sports, fitness” thereby completely bypassing all of my interests. Another point not mentioned: have you ever noticed […]

Every year, around this time, as the weather gets colder, we get an influx of mice moving into our house to find refuge. Our cat is useless — she makes a lot of noise, usually in the middle of the night, but she can never deliver the coup de grace. It seems I already have […]

A common sense act has been introduced in congress, HR 926, asking for basic ethical requirements for the Supreme Court. It sounds like something that ought to be in place. This bill makes various changes related to the ethical standards, financial disclosure requirements, and recusal requirements that apply to Supreme Court Justices. Among the changes, […]

Professor Dave demolishes Sabine Hossenfelder. I feel that. The topic of my history class last week and this week is about bias in late 19th/early 20th century evolutionary biology, and how we have to be critical and responsible in our assessment of scientific claims. It’s tough, because I’m strongly pro-science (obviously, I hope?) but I […]

My experiences in grad school were mostly happy ones, and I credit that to the fact that I was lucky to work with good people. I entered the lab of Charles Kimmel, working on zebrafish neuroscience, and stumbled my way through several projects before Chuck suggested a new one: he recommended that I use a […]

A liberal feminist, Marla Rose, knocked on Nick Fuentes’ door. He reacted by immediately pepper-spraying her, knocking her down, and and stealing her phone. All she did was knock! In a Facebook post, Rose elaborated on her motivations, citing Fuentes’ controversial reputation. “What would you do if a neo-Naz*, white supremacist who called on a […]

In that treasure trove of old documents from my mother, I found this little surprise: she’d also saved one of my extra figures from my research at the University of Oregon, the stuff that led to me working with Judith Eisen. That’s another oldie — Mom must have asked what the heck I was doing […]

Even when it’s ugly—especially when it’s ugly—journalists owe readers the truth.
