  A great thread clarifying some (poorly reported imo) claims about raccoon-dog origins.

  

  Replying to @jbloom_lab

  The sample that has attracted the most attention is the mostly light green pie circle, for which the dominant mtDNA is from a raccoon dog. This has attracted attention because raccoon dogs are one of several species known to be susceptible to SARS2.

  Me to 6yo: See it’s super cool b/c like, measured in radians, noon is approximately 2*π=6.2! . 6yo: but wouldn’t it be easier to just say 6*2=12? Indeed, knowledge is not always power 🤦‍♀️

  I’ll listen to you babble about how Joe is going to raise taxes; but the drinks are on you.

  

  If you make under $400,000, you will not pay a penny more in taxes when I'm president. The super-wealthy and big corporations will finally pay their fair share — and we'll invest that money in working families. We're going to reward work — not wealth.

  Crazy idea. I feel like a good tax on big tech would be to make them write software for things like unemployment and other government programs pro bono
