Just sent the government my accomplishments

Germany heads to the polls today for what could be an historic election in which the conservative CDU is likely to win and the far-right AfD is tracking for its best-ever outcome. Here’s how the results will be revealed 👇 Here’s where you’ll find them: ow.ly/rN3Z50V4V3O

Amazing achievement in sustainable fusion! We are getting closer, but still a long way to go. Who are the key VCs investing in the nuclear energy space?

Why should they even try to find the important needle in their haystack?

Bought this Grundig stereo and amp combo over 8 years ago. Was working, but didn't sound right.

The new cover of TIME.

I'd go back to ~1965 & show the Beatles my copy of "(What's the Story) Morning Glory?" by Oasis to them & say, "this band does it better"

OTD in 2022 some people who make ice cream informed us the best way to stop yourself being attacked is not to threaten to defend yourself. A take that has aged like one of the overpriced, pseudo-ethical ice creams left in the sun for a week.

This is who has the keys to our US Treasury now. Are you ok with this, America? This is a coup.

BREAKING: We're suing DOGE along with a diverse group of organization to get it to follow the law or shut down

The Scottish Sunday Herald TV guide featured this preview of the Trump inauguration. It’s fucking brilliant.

There's a campaign in #France to get people to leave X-Twitter before Trump's inauguration: helloquittex.com Even French public sector bodies are taking part. My regional government is quitting X, and the president cites Musk's interference in UK politics as one reason... actu.fr/pays-de-la-l...

Judge Aileen Cannon is the next supreme court justice. Her trial run is complete. Hello darkness, my old friend.

Rolling Stone out here doing what other national outlets aren't: telling it like it is

x X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m. Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app? If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Happy J6 Insurrection day to the Nazis, the kooks, the racists, MAGA and the incoming oligarch administration. May your end be in federal prison without a pardon.

Watching Rise of Skywalker on TNT (@askchucky.bsky.social favorite movie). One hill that I will die on: Poe Dameron (Oscar Isaac) is a poor man's Han Solo (Harrison Ford).

One of my favorite activities of 2025 was hunting great BBQ in Austin. Used a combo of @texasmonthly.bsky.social, @southernlivingmag.bsky.social and recommendations to eat like it's 1999. Here are my favorites:
