I’m a scientist working on dark matter and neutron stars and I wouldn’t be who I am today without Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, Haile Germima, Toni Morrison, Jane Austen, A.A. Milne, Errol Morris, Star Trek, Herman Melville, Lorna Simpson, Edward Lear, Tina Turner, and so many others.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flag—THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. That’s not decoration. That’s a distress signal. They’re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention? www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Since I hurt my back, I have not been able to complete a workout. In fact, it is difficult to sit for long, stand for long, or lie down for long. I’m still down about 40 pounds from my highest weight. This is me withouta pump, and without using creatine for several weeks. Just keeping it real.

This is why I beef against ableism and the need to make everything about "smart." Musk's problem isn't his intelligence. It's his motivated thinking. His goal is to only act on information that advances his (evil) agenda. And our problem is that he has the power to do it.

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

This is the dumbest fucking sentence I've ever written. "Olivia wrote the number down on a slip of paper and passed it to Happy, who tucked it into the inside pocket of his shabby blazer. He tried to look nonchalant, but inside he was chalanting all over." First drafts, amirite?

It is amazing how little I miss the former platform. And to be honest, it's amazing how little I'm on here in comparison.

Another Superbowl observation: The Chiefs' O-line looked like Alabama's from this past season: Clearly overwhelmed on every play. Hard to do anything productive on offense when your five guys are getting whipped by four defenders consistently.

Biggest takeaway from the Super Bowl is that Tom Brady has no business in the commentary booth. Also, if someone had kicked Brady in the chin, Patrick Mahomes would've gotten a free vasectomy.
