Tom Nichols was a four-time champion who lost his fifth game in early 1994 as a result of being ruled incorrect on the following clue in EUROPEAN GEOGRAPHY on February 4, 1994: "This German seaport's full name calls it a Free & Hanseatic City". Tom gave the equally correct "What is Bremen" (instead of the intended "What is Hamburg"); his being ruled incorrect on this clue cost him a victory. He won in his return, becoming a five-time champion in his sixth game, just in time for the Tournament of Champions (which he would have qualified for anyway).

Jeffrey Epstein did not stop raping children after his 2008 conviction. Jeffrey Epstein did not stop facilitating the rape of children after his 2008 conviction. He kept doing it.

That is the context of people treating him as a normal person after his conviction.

The good: this medic is doing a great job with that little girl.

The bad: gas the kid, kidnap the kid, fuck the kid, it’s all in-policy for the Trump Administration.

Abolish ICE and fire all agents is the moderate position.

They indeed didn't disband; they just moved to Washington with Trump.

How Minneapolis made Prince Prince was a musical genius, but he didn’t come of age in a vacuum. A human geographer explains how Minneapolis’ unique musical culture nurtured and inspired the budding star.

This is for my #AT40 friends and those in the Twin Cities. Today in chat I mentioned an article I had read that connected the geography of Minneapolis to Prince’s career and sound. Here it is. My heart is with my great state. We will win. #IceOut

Watch the video as a recklessly driven cheap car careens around and a gang of armed thugs spring out to menace an innocent civilian, like a kidnapping or robbery or murder-for-hire.

It looks like organized crime taking place in a third-world country, because it is.

But then they would miss out on my brilliant #AT40 takes…

Gonna be a lot of disco in the #AT40, but it’s mostly better stuff—later in 1978 and in 1979 the wheels really come off disco.

1978 was a pretty good year in my life. I told my mom “being 10 is great because I can hang out with the adults, then go play with my Legos and Star Wars toys.”
My older sister was also listening to #AT40 every weekend that year.

Brian May Rules Out Queen Shows in US: "America Is a Dangerous Place at the Moment" Queen guitarist Brian May doesn't see his legendary band playing any US shows in the near future, declaring that "America is a dangerous place at the moment."

Abolish LAPD.

Very sad news. What an amazing talent, and by all accounts, a good person.

the jacarandas are unimpressed by your show of force our purple clouds of delight rise above your tear gas

I didn't publish a lot in 2025, but I'm proud of what I did publish. I'd especially love it if you'd consider my poem "the jacarandas are unimpressed by your show of force" (eligible for the Nebula, Hugo, and Rhysling awards). strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po...

Since I forgot alt text, I’ll expand on it:

"Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?”

The post #AT40 music is a lot better on Thursdays than Saturdays…

I'll say it again, ANY politician who votes for money to fund this nazi gestapo, is an accessory to murder and kidnapping.

“From England” to end the #AT40

Chug!

That was Ted’s eulogy for Bobby:
“My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life; to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it.” #AT40
That’s RFK SENIOR.

I thought this was cheesy when it started, but now I’m tearing up…
