I hate this. Why are we trying to tank this season?

Kind of incredible that, btwn Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks had arguably the two most underrated receivers of their respective generations. Feel fortunate to have watched both for so long.

Harrison, whose plasma contained a rare antibody, rolled up his sleeve 1,173 times from 1954 to 2018. The Australian is credited with helping 2.4 million babies and advancing scientific research.

As someone who spends a lot time thinking about the values I want to teach my kid (besides PLEASE DON’T EAT DIRT), the thing I keep coming back to is this: I want him to believe that the strongest, bravest thing he can do is give a shit about other people—especially ones who aren’t like him at all.

A crypto national reserve is like a national reserve of Beanie Babies. It serves no function. There is no situation where it would be necessary. Except to move massive sums of taxpayer dollars to private interests in exchange for worthless garbage.

After seeing more than a few dismal responses from universities in the current dismantling of science in the U.S., I want to applaud this email from the chair of my alma mater, the University of Washington Astronomy Dept. 🔭 (Email is too long for alt text, so I will copy-paste in replies)

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

all I know is that had President Biden forced out the FAA chief under pressure from his top adviser and his corrupt motives, and then the next week there was a plane crash that killed more than 60 people, Republicans would be howling that it was an impeachable offense.

Here's an update on our expectations for the winter storm next week, which is increasingly likely to bring a hard freeze and snow to Houston. The period from Monday night through Wednesday morning could be challenging from a roads and airports standpoint. #houwx #housky

Jimmy Carter Appreciation 🧵: As we mourn Carter's death, there will be lots of discussion of his presidency and his post-presidential exploits, including his work with @habitatforhumanity.bsky.social and the @cartercenter.bsky.social. But I want to talk about Carter and the federal judiciary....

I join Americans across the country in mourning the loss of President Jimmy Carter. As president, he worked to protect the environment, expand clean energy, champion human rights, and advance peace. After leaving office, he spent decades helping the less fortunate. May his memory be a blessing.

RIP Jimmy Carter, one of the very few presidents we can be proud of.

With today's news about the Bluey movie, Joe Brumm breaks his silence about the future of Bluey as a TV show — or, specifically, about his future with Bluey as a TV show. This reads to me like a guy who has made peace with the idea that his very lucrative creation will eventually go on without him.

That a dude with a couple cameras and a plate of appetizers can make something worth $82.5 million and a media company looks at that and goes "couldn't we make even more money if we had AI do it?" tells you exactly how stupid these people are
