One assumes the US will fire a nuke into Hurricane Melissa here shortly.

Or… Trump plans to fire one into Hurricane Melissa.

GO JAYS!!!

Watching Ohtani pitch still doesn’t compute in my brain. I really don’t believe what I’m looking at

He’s incredible

"What I need you to know is we are organized.
What I need you to know is that you need to get organized.
What I need you to know is they are coming.
What I need you to know is you can stop them...
This is how it works: We protect each other, period. These are our neighbors, our friends, our family"

Cillizza is a weapons-grade jackass.

“maple syrup grandpa” - lmao. I am unfortunately not surprised there are folks defending the guy with the nazi tattoo.

Alice in Chains opening for Van Halen, Portsmouth 1991.

Three schematic diagrams. The first illustrates selective publishing of internal resection, the second selective causal focus, and the third selective access and funding for researchers.

1. We ( @jbakcoleman.bsky.social, @cailinmeister.bsky.social, @jevinwest.bsky.social, and I) have a new preprint up on the arXiv.

There we explore how social media companies and other online information technology firms are able to manipulate scientific research about the effects of their products.

I’m mildly astonished they’re actually being tested on the law to begin with.

thank you

This is bad bad bad.

Interesting reading. Sounds to me like they have the goods on Bolton. Now, of course, we’ll see if they can prosecute the case competently.

Honestly surprised he hasn’t ordered the Department of the Interior to start carving his face out of stone on Mount Rushmore.

I can’t imagine the freedom to arbitrarily redraw district lines to favor one party over another is what Washington had in mind as he was crossing the Potomac.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Y’all Qaeda

It’s not called a kakistocracy for nothing.

They don’t call it a kakistocracy for nothing.

Screenshot from email that reads: Despite reporting to the contrary, we have not been asked to accept or reject the draft compact. Rather, we have been asked to provide feedback and comments as part of an ongoing dialogue, and that is our intention.

Vanderbilt has arrived, late to the chat, with this shambles of a response. While technically true, this is a clear abdication of any moral responsibility. They even work in a mention of their commitment to "institutional neutrality" later in the email.

More people marched today than at any time in the history of the United States.

For @nytimes.com, it was the 6th most important story.

They are making sure that those in power do not see what they do not want to see.

If you think that professors exist as repositories of knowledge that students ask for answers, you’re missing the entire point of a college education.

We’re here to teach students how to do research, how to analyze and argue, how to think for themselves — how to find the answers on their own.

A New Algorithm Makes It Faster to Find the Shortest Paths A canonical problem in computer science is to find the shortest route to every point in a network. A new approach beats the classic algorithm taught in textbooks.

Watched “One Battle After Another” tonight with a friend. If you’re not a fan of the US military in the streets right now, this is a movie for you. I thought it was great.
