Trying to figure out why facebook translates Schlepper as coyote.

Racism, most likely.

Hopefully they have good enough FAPAIM that they don't get contamination everywhere.

If not, let's hope they at least follow proper Jeopardous Instances of Zealous Manipulation Originating Perilous Results protocol.

Yeah, that'd be my guess as well.

I have a nasty cold, but it's a lovely day and I get to do behavioral assessment today.

I'm going to New Orleans for New Years'.


There's a greater than 50% chance I'll end up moving there, one day.

Figured out it was a person.  Google said it was a tractor.  Brain was stuck on trying to figure out the tractor-coyote connection.

"Schlep" - to haul, or carry; usually awkwardly or laborious
"coyote" - slang term for someone who transports undocumented immigrants over the Mexico-US border, typically cruelly and/or with ill intent.

Use Starbuck's pebbles to make a connection.

That's one place I would really like to visit. There's a big bio conference being held there this year that I'll be expected to attend starting next year (when I have results from my experiment currently in progress), but of course next year it's in San Francisco (lame!) and I have no idea when it'll be in New Orleans again. Boo!

Fueled with feminist spunk from reading Carol Tavris, I added a definition to Urban Dictionary this morning. I've never had one approved so fast... it was approved in mere seconds.

I haven't been to New Orleans since before Katrina but goddamn I loved hanging out in that town. Out of any city in the states it is the one that feels the most West Indian.

It's overpriced and crowded and hilly and it smells like pee. I mean, there are nice things about it, but there are nice things about Fresno, too.

Last week, I told one of my undergrads that being late is extremely frowned-upon in my lab. She wanted to come in today at 9. Sure enough, she is 13 minutes late and counting. Grrrrrrr.

Also, for some reason I got made a Reddit science mod. I didn't ask, nobody asked me. WTF.

So, I've been spending some time on a couple of stand-alone forums that cater to the right, as a "know your enemy" thing.

I have seriously never heard so much whinging in my life.  They cry because Hollywood doesn't like them.  They cry because Disney isn't Ayn Rand enough for them.  They cry because Black men date white women.  They cry because nobody gets their alt-right philosophy and/or political views.  They cry because Trump won and liberals won't "respect" him.  Also because THEY WON but NOTHING CHANGED. 

But the best part is what happens when a person takes one step off the reservation for any reason.  One guy brought up the fact that the ocean level is unequivocally rising, and they descended on him like rabid seagulls.  He was a 4 year member, and they drove him off in less than 2 days, and apparently doxxed him for good measure.  This is a board with about 70 active (every day active) members, and about 200 occasionally-active people.

That's almost impressive. Will be interested to hear how this degenerates further.
