You son of a bitch, I’m in.

Darmok and Jalad lmao

Completely unforeseen and also delightful side benefit to being on (public) television.

Reading this while sitting at a workshop with ~100 ppl in a room where the CO2 is >1300 and 2 of us are masked…

Say hello to a new subway map! 🗺️ Today, the MTA unveiled a new subway diagram that provides riders with essential travel information in an easily readable, bright, and orderly manner.

Just … read the review. Dr. Prescod-Weinstein did the work, and … oof

When I wrote The Poison Squad, I believed one of its primary points was that we'd finally learned to take food safety seriously. To believe consumer protection was essential work. This year, this government, has proved that wrong. So I hate it too.

Thank goodness for the efficency

All mayo, in all forms, is a war crime.

Fuck yeah Daion !

Happy birthday to the name "Big Bang.” Fred Hoyle, defending his steady state theory on the BBC, accidentally coined the term for the prevailing model of the early Universe #OTD in 1949. He was criticizing "the hypothesis that all matter of the universe was created in one big bang." 🧪 🔭 ⚛️ 💥

I’m a total newcomer to the NBA (go nuggets) so I only recently am able to understand how fucking cool this is.

Tbf it wasn’t just the WSJ. It was literally all the media outlets. But yes.

If any of you are in a war chat, please feel free to add (845) EAT-FART. Yes, it's a real number, and yes, you should call or text it.

Astronomer Antonia Maury was born #OTD in 1866. She devised an entirely new stellar classification system that accounted for the strength and width of spectral lines, and conducted spectroscopic studies of binary stars. 🧪 🔭 👩‍🔬 Image: Vassar College senior year photograph

White people are making burners and pulling out all the SAT words because Black folks refuse to do the heavy lifting. “It’s the sanctimonious identity politics!” No bitch. Your dad and your cousin hate everybody who isn’t straight and white and fixing that is a you job.

Look I have zero excuses for this, but the idea popped into my head and now it's in your head, sorry

Kamala Harris is a private citizen. Full stop. But what people want is for her to use her hypervisibility and notoriety to speak up publicly. And the issue that many people aren't seeing is that black women are tired of being free labor for other people while eating antiblackness and disrespect.

Another reason to love Werner Herzog. This TikTok clip is not going where you expectd. www.tiktok.com/@60minutes/v...

Happy 22-year anniversary of the March '03 blizzard! 31.2" fell in Denver, the city's 2nd-biggest storm on record. Over 60" (!) fell in the foothills. DIA closed, 135k people lost power, and the snow created a huge gash on the @DENAirport roof. What are your memories? #COwx #denver

Astronomer Caroline Herschel was born #OTD in 1750. She discovered and catalogued a wealth of comets, stars, and nebulae.

Tesla Model 3 crushed by an Olmec statue By Mexican sculptor @chavismarmol.bsky.social

Historically, claims of humans sharing a dual illusionary experience (sharing dreams, out-of-body experiences, etc) are always rubbish with no grounds in science. But one illusion we do share. When the Moon is near the horizon, *ALL* of our brains seem to make it bigger. Though, it's not real!

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up
