Nature reports that scientists are leaving Twitter. Overwhelmed by anti-science and far-right material, which is often shoved at them by the site’s trending topics and other algorithmic feeds…

I work in a town that has a lot of trucker traffic with very little locals, they treat those toilets like they are just straight holes in the ground, never flush, never clean the seats if they miss, sweat stains stuck on after just an hour without cleaning....
In the past I worked with severely mentally ill folks, and every so often you'd meet one who had a creative streak expressed with fecal "paints". I've also worked with folks with big, years-long drug addictions, and "explosive diarrhea out of nowhere" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Like I was taught in my last blood-born pathogens class: If it's wet and it's not yours, don't touch it.
