    I’m at a loss. No words. I’ve been part of two big families with Grant Imahara over the last 22 years. Grant was a truly brilliant engineer, artist and performer, but also just such a generous, easygoing, and gentle PERSON. Working with Grant was so much fun. I’ll miss my friend.

    “GOP” members of the Senate, you unconscionable, pathetic, spineless, hypocritical, lickspittle, death rattle of a racist patriarchal Calvinist shitbags. May all your teeth fall out but one. And in that one may you have a toothache. Enjoy how history looks at you. It’s not pretty

    Delete away! I didn’t make those shows for you. I made them for curious people with functioning minds and empathetic hearts. Oh! And we did a whole episode on how a cold spreads. Guess you’ll never watch it now.

    20 years ago today a 35-year-old version of myself debuted on a @discovery TV series, fundamentally changing my life from the roots up in the best way. Happy anniversary to everyone involved with @mythbusters and its premiere! We made something to be proud of! #MythBusters

    Grant and I bonded early at ILM and called each other “Doctor” the entire 22 years we knew each other. This photo is from the last job I did at ILM, Terminator 3. A month after it was taken, I started filming MythBusters. Grant would join us two years later.

    Just a reminder from this friendly neighborhood science communicator that wearing masks is how we protect each other and prevent further death from COVID-19. They’re uncomfortable, that’s true. Then again so is dying. It’s literally the LEAST you can do. So do it!

    Chairman Ajit Pai, IMO you are a dishonest, bought-and-paid-for shill. In the words of ee cummings: "[You are] an ass upon which everything has sat on except a man". You should be ashamed at your contribution to the destruction of what is an important civil right.

    Oh snowflake, I’m so sorry you don’t feel safe when you parade your desire to celebrate white supremacy, bring back coal, deny global warming, and take control of women’s bodies. That must be HARD for you.

    Walk down the streets of San Francisco in a MAGA hat then tell me who is hateful.

    The amount of love, & respect, & admiration I feel for all of you, AND for the selfless, inspiring, and vital work you’re doing, is beyond compare. YOU are the future. Be loud, and be proud. I stand with you, shoulder to shoulder.

    Just piping in here to let you know that if you think that wearing a ppe mask=weakness, i have some colorful things to say about your intelligence. I’m astounded that wearing a mask is AT ALL CONTROVERSIAL, and yet here we are. WEAR A MASK!!

    I’m so so sad, Jessi Combs has been killed in a crash. She was a brilliant & too-notch builder, engineer, driver, fabricator, and science communicator, & strove everyday to encourage others by her prodigious example. She was also a colleague, and we are lesser for her absence.

    Hey just a reminder that if you’re an anti vaxer, your “belief” is not only wrong (i.e. unsupported by ANY scientific analysis), it has a body count. The only thing vaccines cause is ADULTS. Please don’t forward to me your “evidence” (anecdotes). I’ve actually looked at it
