I posted the following to my social media feeds (X, Mastodon, Substack, and LinkedIn):

• I posted the following on my Notes feed about a recent XKCD.com cartoon: “Ever wonder what a renaissance man looks like in the modern era? Just look at today’s XKCD cartoon. You never know what branch of science will serve as the basis for the site’s off-beat humor.”

• I posted the following comment about reaction to Luna’s comment on X (https://x.com/realannapaulina/status/1907224146322346051) about another discharge petition: “Luna did not put this in the Rule, it was done at the behest of Speaker Johnson trying to evade the will of the majority of the members of the House. The Republicans complain about minority rule but tried to execute it today.”
