Doomsday Clock - Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists It is 89 seconds to midnight.

This year's #DoomsdayClock announcement is scheduled for January 27th from the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. There's probably some vigorous last-minute revision right now in response to the past few days of utter insanity. We just might jump forward to 60! thebulletin.org/doomsday-clo...

Send away!

Vonnegut wasn't even close in scratching the surface of how absurd our timeline has become.

Strong, dark coffee is the main reason I'm still rooting for civilization to somehow make it through all this.

Wish it was, but it’s not. Thank you, though.

As a Florida swamprat now living in Chicago, I am a deep believer in the annual roadtrip south to get lizard photos. Haven't done Central or South America though. Just the thought peaks my lacertilian cravings.

Not as many protesters as old conservatives spreading STDs in The Villages, but still damn impressive!

So it goes. RIP.

His subsequent stuff has been particularly landscapish, like habitats. Very ambient. Good soundscapjng (minus the beat and rhythm). More Eno than Club vibe. Solid stuff.

I'm not overly picky or hyper-critical of music, but it's also pretty hard to impress me deeply. Immunity is beyond impressive. It's a perfect, revelatory album with a soundscape like no other. This album is where I go when I feel cornered and need to regroup.

Good morning from Chicago. Clinton Avenue, looking south from the green line. 6:48 am on Friday 10 October 2025.

I’ve had the same thought. Love iNat, but I’m tracking species observations more than following specific people.

100% agree.

The 13th Largest Army in World Is Unleashing Violence in Chicago As federal agents kill and use extreme force in Chicago, their budget surges.

If Trump's deportation machine were an army, it would be the 13th largest on earth, ahead of Poland, Canada, Iran. The funding increase kicked in Oct 1, as federal agents unleash violence on the Chicago area, raiding communities and brutalizing protesters. By me & Lindsay Koshgarian, 📷 Steel Brooks.

Most excellent, and Flach is a wicked sharp photographer. This is a definite must-get!

Maybe Tyler Cowen is actually GROK?

Well played, sir.

Accounts like that piss me the ever loving hell off. Back in Florida, it was dumbasses with incorrect hurricane and flood footage. Sigh. Thank you for not being that kind of account.

All the fear-mongering lies and blatant disinformation in the world won't change the fact that Chicago is awesome, and it does not suffer fools gladly.

As Trump describes it, Chicago is the "worst and most dangerous city in the world." It's a hellhole, he says - a killing field, a disaster. Well, I spent another morning in downtown Chicago, and I guess I'm lucky to be alive? Chicago remains a beautiful and fantastic place to live.
