I accidentally kicked the edge of the bathtub this morning and I swear it feels like I broke my toe

A new analysis estimates the Trump/GOP budget's rollback of clean energy tax credits will eliminate nearly 830,000 jobs by 2030 and raise energy prices by 50% by 2035.  Just another way the "big beautiful bill" will make the economy worse and your life more expensive.

Absolute insanity and amazing hustle. I need @producersteve.bsky.social to watch this because I know you’ll appreciate it.

The ending of that Rays game was absolutely INSANE. #RaysUp

It is going to be an 11th hour edition of 60-ish seconds of science tonight…I don’t even know what I’m going to talk about yet. But you should join us for The Blathering Live with @kennapzok.bsky.social to find out!!! 8 pm ET/ 5 pm PT www.youtube.com/live/YBMx5NP...

I’ve been running around all morning and am currently fighting the urge to just lay down on the floor in shavasana

Cannot even with this. Watching on repeat until November 21

The new Wicked trailer yall…I can’t even. Is it November yet????

Im sorry what?

And we’re surprised that this is the tactic they’ve chosen because….?

I’ve been in the @forcecenterpod.bsky.social bubble too long and forgot how the internet actually talks about Disney SW. But here’s a friendly PSA: You don’t have to sh*t on all of Disney SW to call Andor good. And I’m so tired of that take.

I definitely forgot the Space Force was a thing

I am very good at bending excel to my will but sometimes I need it to be just a smidge smarter than it is

A team of ecologists, epidemiologists and veterinarians are scrambling to protect to northern elephant seals from bird flu. But the animals, which live along the Pacific Coast of North America, face several serious threats.

Well they didn’t find anything too concerning which is frustrating. But they suggested a new possible explanation for everything, which will be an exhausting thing to start chasing tomorrow. Today we rest.

Trying very hard (and not succeeding) not to borrow trouble this morning.

This morning, while going through some data, I realized my students have been doing some of this wrong and I’m going to have to come behind and fix it. Yay…

Amongst my many skills, my ability to catastrophize is second to none.

if you see this, post a flower! (Or two!)

Do you listen to A Monday Morning Show from @kennapzok.bsky.social??? Well, you should. This week, he talked about community and it had me crying on my couch over breakfast. Go listen (or become a YouTube channel member/Patreon supporter to watch the video version!) and start the week off right!

A HISTORIC MILESTONE: For the first time, solar power generated more electricity globally than nuclear, making it the world’s 4th largest power source. In just 5 years, solar output nearly tripled—from 79 TWh (Apr 2020) to 233 TWh (Apr 2025). The energy transition is speeding up. @ember-energy.org

I just put scrambled eggs on toast for the first time and I’m just like…where has that been all my life???

If your skies are clear, you might get a view of the Northern Lights tonight!! www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/w...

Things I’m oddly all in on right now? Squirrels. youtu.be/0Xf4xfV5ubM?...

This weeks edition of 60-ish Seconds of Science! youtu.be/pOEq26q-u00?...

Happy Pride! I'm grateful for all the queer people in my life. All the kind friends, the fantastic artists, the strangers on social media who choose to share their journey. May every human know the joy of being their full, true self.

I’m having a minor medical procedure early this week and I’m spending a lot of brain power today making sure my research students don’t have to stop working while I’m gone. Gods help my productivity issues.

Thank you, Evan. 🥹

16-3. #RaysUp ✨

The Rays are winning 11-3. Because they are the Tampa Bay Rays, I’m not comfortable with the size of that lead.

You want to listen to me talk about Taylor Swift? It’s gonna be a fun time!!!

Taylor Swift 20th anniversary is next year so I definitely think we’ll get the re-record then as a special anniversary release

I can't believe people are mad that Taylor Swift bought her old masters She made the re-recordings to take back her legacy and make the old masters worth less AND IT FUCKIN WORKED I'm never going to be mad about an artist finally owning their own art, I don't care how rich they already are
