I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

Vermeer’s Girl With The Pearl Earring will be shown in Osaka, later this year, and the press conference was as Japanese as you’d expect #Vermeer

This is not the flex you think it is Donald Trump 🤣

Donald Trump's approval rating is the lowest of any president since our poll with YouGov started in 2009 www.economist.com/interactive/...

Take away the president's power to pardon. The ability has been abused.

The only reason why the Spurs won last night. 😒😤

And here I expected, "That's not my dog."

A little late with this reverie, but: seeing @minakimes.bsky.social describe her Larry Bird levels of practice for the @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social celeb tourney reminds me again that *most* Jeop winners have mildly weird and obsessive ways of training. Quick thread...

"Don't worry, honey, dinner is 90% done: I've already thought about going the grocery store."

The Giants "locker room" or whatever people think that means is fine. Living and working with people who either love or fail to understand the implications of this administration is *the* Black american experience.

The New York Times editorial board: “Americans should be cleareyed about what the president is doing. He is taking their money and showering it on criminals.”

Countries just need to try Looney Tunes tactics on him. They will probably work

Nifty lede by Paul Casella of @mlb.com. (Sanchez is 4 innings short of Alexander’s 41-inning scoreless streak, set in 1911.)

You come to me, on the day of my son's wedding, which I am not attending

Morning everyone. Do you know that your President just exempted himself, his family, and all his family's companies from our tax laws? You are subject to the law. Now he is not. No one should not pretend this is okay or normal. It's an ongoing constitutional crisis.

I say without hyperbole that this is the most brazenly corrupt action in US Presidential history. That it does not immediately lead to impeachment is a dangerous sign of how far the rule of law has declined.

I’m the Kevin Bacon linking Fritz and Mina, wooo!

“Secrets of the Buzzer” gets a shout-out from giant-killer and new celebrity champ @minakimes.bsky.social. Practice works!

In order to stay ahead of the curve here, I'd like to note that the U.S. has no grounds to invade Cuba, arrest or change its leaders, take control or directly influence its actions or, for that matter, to be blockading it right now forcing its people to suffer. Nor is any of that in our interest.

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

A huge thing to the credit of Ted Turner: he was widely criticized for his dumb and stupid classic movie colorization scheme and instead of doubling down and crashing out over the negative publicity, he listened to the criticism and launched Turner Classic Movies.

I got 7 out of 8 on the @us.theconversation.com news quiz on this week where I had no advance knowledge #humblebrag ✅✅✅✅✅✅❌✅ theconversation.com/the-conversa... (cc @fritzholz.bsky.social)

Hot take: adults can catch and keep foul balls! You are not required to give the ball to the nearest child. If you WANT to give it away, lovely gesture, sure. But foul balls are and always have been fair game for everyone. 1/2

Russia has been attacking #Ukraine so much today. There are so many killed and injured. It is heartbreaking. Russian war crimes are countless. I am grateful to everyone who reminds the world of our Ukrainian fight against the evil that is Russia. 📷:Zaporizhzhia, Kramatorsk

Good grief.

Never met Tony Peters, don’t know who he is, but a million years ago on Facebook he posted this and I don’t think anyone’s ever put it better.

Terrific story. How shameful that we aren’t doing more to help #Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/video/world/...

The last thing they find on my phone when I disappear.

@jfruh.bsky.social Doing a deep dive on the Phantom's wife thanks to the wiki you mentioned this morning.

The corruption, and the amounts of money involved here, are truly shocking.

Movie deep cut here

Cracked me up, but also true.

Restructure the court. Go to 13 seats (to correspond to number of circuits.) Go to term limits. Retroactively if possible. Investigate and if appropriate prosecute/disbar justices who have been on the take. Establish strict enforceable ethical guidelines for the court. Then move on...

@jfruh.bsky.social Minor, minor point, but: two of the strips on this archive page are dated 2025, not 2026. I flipped out a bit, thinking the dopey parrot episode was somehow over a year old. joshreads.com/2026/02/soap...

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

“J. Edgar Boozer” is a friend’s new name for Kash Patel.

Haha! These new folks at the Post — just shameless. Embarrassing.

Just a 1000% corrupt and impeachable offense in any sane world.

Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square

The amazing Barbara Hepworth Museum in St. Ives (@tatestives.bsky.social) invites kids to leave a letter for the artist, who died in 1975. This one’s a winner. 🥲

Well, it IS accurate.

We should be learning from other countries...

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.
