  1. In #madisonwi these introduced and invasive plants are considered ‘restricted’ by the Department of Natural Resources.

    dnr.wisconsin.gov/topic/Invasi

    Therefore, conservation #organizations may be incentivized to remove them and inhibit research.

    I’ve also notified the city that these shrubs surround large piles of rocks. Therefore, their removal without gradual replacement of native species could alter geological #risks such as erosion and soil collapse due to Karst topology.

    Questions remain…

  2. Attention Palladium and Rifts fans in the Madison, Wisconsin area, the east side HPB has over a dozen of their softcovers in good condition and relatively cheap. Somebody sold their entire collection!

    Edit to add the actual store!

  3. Oh weird, one of the girls who stabbed their classmate because they wanted to impress the Slenderman cut off her monitoring bracelet and disappeared from her group home on the west side of Madison last night. Cool, cool…

  7. It’s been a wonderful first half-day in #MadisonWI. We got to check out some of the old stomping grounds from our time in graduate school 25 years ago, especially State Street and the Capitol Square. We spent some time at the #Wisconsin #IceCube Particle #Astrophysics Center (WIPAC) and met with colleagues of ours there. It’s good to be in our academic home, where we first met.

    I am excited for @jodi’s #colloquium in the #Physics Department tomorrow afternoon!

    I'm not looking to sell these guys - especially if a teacher who could put them in the hands of students who could make use of them.

    (wouldn't turn down any re-homing fee offered of course).

    Hand made 1950's - mid 60's altos by Beaugnier in Paris (made across the street from Selmer, sometimes by the same guys).

    I just can't do alto :-/.

  9. Eric Hovde thinks “females spend too much time focused on what’s going on in Hollywood.”
    Tammy Baldwin wants to continue working for Wisconsin women, while Eric Hovde is focused on insulting them. #BlueWaveRising #Allied4Dems #Wisconsin #MadisonWI #MilwaukeeWI #DemCastWI #WIDems

  10. Timbuk 3, Eden Alley, 1988 on I.R.S. Records

    Timbuk 3 was the stage name for the duo of Pat MacDonald and Barbara K. MacDonald (nee Barbara Kooyman, aka Barbara K), as it evolved out of Pat MacDonald & The Essentials. They formed in Madison Wisconsin (later relocating to Austin Texas) and put out six albums, of which this was their second.

    I love their songwriting: clever, punny, […]

  16. Madison, WI has F35s as well (Air National Guard).

    They are incredibly loud (I'm sure sound is a shock_and-awe feature). You cannot hear people right next to you when the jets take off over a mile away. Also, the Air National Guard was resistant to efforts to ban PFAS-containing firefighting foam.

    Despite heavy community opposition they were stationed here - why? to protect us from Canada? Or a Red Dawn scenario
