I can’t unsee the comparison now…

Can you subtly turn it down to merely warm from mid-summer?

I can’t imagine they have much range of motion by the time they retire. I spent part of the previous game reading about Tommy John ligament replacement surgery and its absolute ubiquity among MLB pitchers…

In about three years the entire university pivot to AI curricula and schools and programs is going to be so deeply embarrassing. We will all pretend it never happened and I will be standing there, looking at people with a mirror in my eyes. This is all so embarrassing.

Pentagon reporters turn in their access badges rather than bend to new government rules | CBC News Dozens of reporters turned in access badges and exited the Pentagon on Wednesday rather than agree to government-imposed restrictions on their work, pushing journalists who cover the American military...

I am heartened the vast majority of the Pentagon press corps left & handed in their credentials rather than submit to Hesgeth’s onerous restrictions on press freedom…

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Very happy to hear the city is finally moving forward with this. It feels like the plans for the area have been sitting in limbo for a decade.

“Poor eyesight is caused by too much reading…” oh wait…

Autism cannot be "cured," despite whatever idiocy is presented by the least Kennedy today...

Guys. I’m in love with the newly updated New Brunswick libraries chickadee logo.

Hasan Piker was set to debate Charlie Kirk. Now he's warning of a "Reichstag fire moment." The streaming star on how to reject political violence while staying honest about Kirk's rhetoric.

Your hydrated cells will thank you...?

I am very grateful for the 25 C in Edinburgh today…stay cool New Brunswick.

Still great photos. Still have a D60 and a D5000.

Fortunately its pretty small so far, but it grew from 32 to 250+ hectares overnight. Its up near where your mom’s people be from in the Miramichi…we went from constant rain to desert seemingly within a couple weeks.

Its tiny in comparison to Western fires, I know…

It be dry in NB. Please limit your time near the woods and keep your burning cig remnants well away from anything organic…

Very much agree. it’s not even downtown. I would take the Algonquin anyday…

Good gawd. That is less than I am paying for a hotel near Edinburgh next month - and they have 3-4 major summer festivals going on...

Decades of mechanistic talk about university degrees as if they were bundles of 'skills' and 'prep' are about to be proved completely wrong (obviously). Want to get a real boost? Do History or English.

"Cuomo, in many ways, is a Democratic Trump: he is loud, vulgar, ill-informed, resentful, vengeful, contemptuous of his constituents, and accused of being abusive toward women," @moiradonegan.bsky.social writes.

Gross, however not surprising…

Icaridin/picaridin works really well and isn’t as icky as most DEET formulations…

That is definitely problematic…

Next to Trump and Musk, Shatner and I look like adoring newlyweds.

They really should take a page from the Saint John street playbook and call the one in Barker's Point MacKay Drive North. While the UNB one is not a city street, its still an address...

Boo to the NZ parliament. The anti-Maori bent of the current admin there is just plain wrong.

The Reemergence of Social Darwinism The 19th-century doctrine that most closely resembles Trumpism

Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill have taken social Darwinism to a new level of absurdity. The America they seek is the one we last had in the Gilded Age of the late 19th century.

I have a simple solution to this. Grade students entirely by means of three hour hand-written exams in a big hall with no computers. If they all fail because they never learned to write without AI, sucks to be them

that hitler was a fucking coward in the end is one of those details that his contemporary worshippers like to ignore
