If you take a breath today remember to be grateful to the bottom of your lungs to these guys that made it all possible. Ice-polished ~1.5 billion yo Proterozoic fossil cyanobacterial stromatolite pavement, at Grinnell Glacier, Glacier NP, MT. Oldest fossils I have ever seen!

THUS PASSES ANOTHER AGE OF THE EARTH www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

In no functioning country is this allowed.

The internet is a weird, weird place sometimes.

A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

HAPPY BOSTON MOONINITE PANIC DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Sure let’s endanger the public so that DHS doesn’t get pwned on social media

Spraying in the eyes like that frequently causes permanent vision loss. Completely, in some cases. The "officers" doing this should be in jail for the rest of their lives.

Some ice is good actually

Very cool that the folks in charge are dismantling the government, burning down our alliances, terrorizing the populace, and actively tanking the economy, and the mainstream press can't call this out in any meaningful way because half of them are in on it and the other half think it'd be impolite.

Now the actual military has to dress like it’s not the military cuz federal law enforcement agencies dress too much like the military

I can’t stop laughing at this

the glass is so that it doesn't burn his hands

NASA say that the crew member who was ill and returned to earth is doing well and now having a meal with colleagues.

Deep-sea sponge appreciation post: Bolosoma is a glass sponge that builds vertical structure in the deep sea, creating habitat for a whole host of life. IN 2025 on dives in Papahānaumokuākea, some had heads nearly a meter wide. 📷 NOAA Ocean Exploration, 2025 Beyond the Blue

Tell me you don’t have any physicists on your team without telling me you don’t have any physicists on your team

If you thought these were expensive now, wait until we're at war with Denmark.

If there’s a better obituary for an evil cartoonist than an A.I. generated version of his character that fucks up the defining detail of its design, I can’t think of it. No notes. 👨🏻‍🍳 💋

Adding email filter: "join...webinar" -> trash

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

If anyone doubted that Trump is insane, the time for that is past. In addition to working to destroy NATO by attacking Denmark/Greenland, Trump has now launched an assault against the Federal Reserve. The suit is garbage and will fail, but the fact that he is pushing it will undermine stability.

“The murdering will continue until you stop calling us murderers.”

BREAKING: Staggering scenes as brave Iranians stand up to their illegitimate government in Tehran... um, hang on, I'm being told this is actually Minneapolis. Forget I said anything...

just started knitting🧶 this👇 ... name a better #atari character to feature on a scarf!?!🤣

Finally some good news.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

This is insane. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

This is the kind of thing that the Founders explicitly designed our constitution to prevent; a president who has seized wealth for his own benefit without any intervention from Congress, which in our system is supposed to be the holder of the power of the purse.

In Peekskill this Friday, 1/9? Please join me and my Drawing with Machines students for the opening of our exhibition at the @bantamtools.bsky.social Machine Arts Gallery! We'll be showing scores of generative artworks created with pen-plotters, p5.js, and much more! www.instagram.com/p/DTGWAUlkS8Q/

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

It’s been about one week since it went above freezing and the Hudson River is partly frozen over. One of the things that happens is that the bald eagle go out and sit on the ice. Unfortunately, I don’t have a telephoto lens handy, but with binoculars I’m able to count 11 of them right now.

Oh, there's an update.

Outlook for the new year ...

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

I used to manage wine programs for movie theaters and I am in the extremely unique position to say with professional certainty that the answer here is a crisp Albariño.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Fell down a rabbit hole into Olivetti-land… the Logos 55 Printing Calculator from 1975. Designed by Mario Bellini, who did a lot of these kinds of machines: like Dieter Rams with Braun. Look at that keyboard. So beautiful :)

Ocean heating defies all earlier projections. We are on the worst possible track. Yet this has completely vanished as a topic of conversation in America.

My local bar kicks some ass.

Of the 10 people mentioned by name in Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Free only Sophia Loren (91) and Bob himself (84) are now still alive

My wife (@thelinengirl.bsky.social) knocked Christmas out of the park (again), this time with a custom-made Macintosh 128k LEGO kit designed by Chris McVeigh (chrismcveigh.com)! The logic board, analog board, floppy drive, flyback transformer… it’s all there! The accuracy and detail is insane.

The atomic ensemble time scale at the NIST Boulder campus has failed.
