Happy First Wednesday from Maggie's Rumble Room. Go find some live music, friends, and a tasty beverage. We all need it for the journey ahead.

Good news: Scientists were wrong about how bad sea level rise is.

Bad news: It’s even worse than we thought.

Deadwood was and is - if you'll pardon the expression - a fucking masterpiece.

We're in another cycle on Bluesky where people mistake anger & frustration with surprise. Here's a tip: most people aren't surprised; they're pissed off that terrible shit is happening.

Six American service members have been killed so far in this conflict in Iran. One of them is a 20-year-old Sergeant named Declan J. Coady of West Des Moines, the city I live in in Iowa. All of this is just so unnecessary and sad.

Remember when the electrician from the Czech WBC team struck out Shohei Ohtani? I think that happening to Aaron Judge would fix me.

i'm seeing "you sir win the internet" more and more these days, which makes me think the youths have adopted it ironically like someone saying 23 skidoo in the '70s

The first image off my camera of the Blood Moon. This is right at totality, 3:33 a.m. I did very little processing on this. I sharpened it. The light and color are exactly as they came off my camera. #astronomy #astrophotography

A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was β€œanointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth,” according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.

From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).

The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.

These people are out of their minds.

I swear we're now in the mini-season known as Dumb Coat. This means no matter which jacket or coat or parka you choose that morning, it will either make you sweat or turn your bone marrow into ice.
