Day 20,185

Today’s doodle, ripped from today’s headlines. Explains a lot, really. How lovely that someone with actual brain damage may cause people to sway the vote enough to get 45 back into office. For what it is worth, he claims a full recovery from the incident, but he also has promoted a conspiracy theory that coronavirus vaccines were developed to control people via microchips. He has endorsed the false notion that antidepressants are linked to school shootings. And he has pushed the decades-old theory that the C.I.A. killed his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy. (He also stated that wifi causes cancer and “leaky brain”, and that AIDS is not a virus, but passed by doing poppers)

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental lawyer, is a leading vaccine skeptic and purveyor of conspiracy theories who has leaned heavily on misinformation as he mounts his impossible 2024 campaign for the presidency.

In a three-part series, FactCheck.org’s science fact-checking project, SciCheck, examines the trail of false and misleading claims on health topics such as vaccines, autism, and Covid-19 made by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine advocate who is running for president

Day 20,180 May the fourth be with you! (And happy Dave Brubeck day!) My wife and I hit the farmers’ market today. We got some spicy greens, lovely bread, bagels, and croissants from @blacksburgbagels, a chai and coffee from @roanokecoffee, and “chicken” and French toast for me, and avocado toast for her at @queensvegancafe. The big win was a cool-looking “octopus tentacle sucker”-designed cup and a tiny tasting bowl for @pearlsquirrel from @ishadevinepottery. She absolutely loves it and the tissue used to package them. (The bowl may get repurposed for rings if we can get it back from her.) #doodle #FarmersMarket #misspearl #catsofinstagram #stripedcatsofinstagram #tabbycatsofinstagram #cryptid #bread #pottery #greens #maythe4thbewithyou #davebrubecktakefive #davebrubeckday https://www.instagram.com/p/C6jab3puFf6/?igsh=MTc4YWlzcTkzbzJ1Zg==

Day 20,178

It seems like the man vs. bear debate is making a comeback and entering the mainstream consciousness, at least for a brief period. Women share their reasons for feeling safer encountering a bear in the forest than an unfamiliar man. This hypothetical situation has ignited a broader discussion about the underlying reasons for women’s fear of men. I came across a meme that combined the themes of Doctor Doom and bears, and I decided to participate in the trend. To be honest, I also side with the bears, naturally. Humans are a far more dangerous species.

Scenes from today. Men in black doodle after a brief but fun interaction with @footnotesfaulkner, a 3d printed sofa for Sisto and Harold to lounge on, a lovely duck date dinner at @hang10iceandcream with @maximillian_deersteak and cherry dip for her and chocolate raspberry for me. Additionally, @pearlsquirrel was a real sweetie this morning. I also printed up a diesel engine that might be of interest to the FIL.
