Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

Hi yes hello, going to reiterate that this should not be legal

I'll be there tomorrow night!

He's a creep. He's a weirdo. What the hell is he doing here? He doesn't belong here.

LOL I'm from Colorado, so at first my brain thought she was talking about "hitting the mountain" in the skiing/snowboarding sense, and like, sure, I guess if you're sitting in first class, you might get off the plane and make it to the slopes a little earlier, but...

And then it hit me. ✈️ ⛰️ 💥

Christian Nationalism is a pernicious threat.

a man in a suit and tie stands in a crowd Alt: Tobias in Arrested Development stands up from a seated crowd and shouts, "There are dozens of us! DOZENS!" with his right fist held above his head, and is then pulled back down to his chair by his embarrassed wife.

It'll be tricky. The whole page is built dynamically with data from the Releases API, and RSS XML files can't be dynamic without server-side scripting, which is not supported in GitHub Pages. I have an idea for a workaround using GitHub Actions, so we'll see. You're actually the first person to ask!

RSS Feed · Issue #1 · TheDrillDown/TheDrillDown.github.io Add RSS feed feature, so that whenever a new episode is posted, subscribers will receive a notification.

That's literally the first item on the backlog.

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

Tweets with Community Notes on them are always the most controversial, rage-baiting ones. They're deliberately looking for ways to further amplify the most toxic and inflammatory bad takes on the platform.

To me, the H stands for "hyperfocus"

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

4.6 Billion Years On, the Sun Is Having a Moment In the past two years, without much notice, solar power has begun to truly transform the world’s energy system.

Globally, roughly a third more power is being generated from the sun this spring than last. If this exponential rate of growth can continue, we will soon live in a very different world, @billmckibben.bsky.social‬ writes.

The beans are magical!

The same gray and white cats from the previous photos, napping together again, the gray one with his front paws up in the air in the classic Thriller dance pose, and his tongue peeking out.

Comic. The Three Types of Unsolved Physics Problem (First panel) Vague. PERSON [next to curved diagram] What is the nature of time in quantum gravity? Is it a background parameter, a dynamic aspect of spacetime, or an emergent phenomenon? (Second panel) Precise. PERSON 2 with short hair [device with equation below: 71Ga + νe → 71Ge + e- .] Why does the *S.A.G.E.* Gallium Neutrino Capture Experiment produce only 75% as much germanium as predicted? (Third panel) Cursed. PERSON 3 with white hat [rectangular block with hairs growing out of it labeled Zinc Whiskers] Why does some metal randomly grow hairs?
