I am low-key obsessed with this pair of Chinese designers, in no small part because the model guy is SERVING.

Such good news. Human beings are capable of magical and wonderful things. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

HPV is now the greatest risk factor for head and neck cancer. Thankfully there is a safe and effective HPV immunization to protect against these and five other types of cancer! My bipartisan PREVENT HPV Cancers bill would boost awareness and save lives.

When Charlie Kirk died,Trump lowered flags nationwide for him. 6 US soldiers die and not only will he not lower the flags nationwide for them, he just says “some people will die.”

An Iranian drone struck a high-rise building in Bahrain.

Drone, aimed or not but definitely direct hit. 4 injured

Video of Iranian drone striking 5th Fleet HQ in Bahrain

This seems important www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For anyone who needs a pretty picture today, here's Denali as just seen from my DC to Tokyo flight.

@wtopnews.bsky.social @nbcwashington.com Currently fying out of Dulles, D terminal mobile lounges not running due to fire / ambulance / police activity outside the D lounge dock. Had to go to C and walk. Another accident?

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

There were these ad spots where Miyares would run a "Jay Jones is soft on crime" ad follower by a Miyares "Jay Jones will fucking shoot people" ad and uh it was dissonant.

Did the Mariners finally win ALDS Game 5 because of Humpy the Salmon?

@arlnow.bsky.social You guys want to send a camera crew to capture the fun when this roof lift goes REALLY badly? 31st St just east of 32nd.

Holy Moses the Nationals took the lead over the Mets in extras on an inside-the-park two-run homer from Daylen Lile

48/❗️More videos of Iranian ballistic missile interceptions over Qatar

Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.

This is the hardest I’ve ever been owned online

@altnih4science.bsky.social Just received an NIH update email for clinical trial patients about campus access that links here: www.cc.nih.gov/patient-serv... NIH is now requiring detailed citizenship / passport / visa information to acess the clinical center. I can't imagine why they'd care...oh.

So DOGE showed up at the CFPB last night. This truly epic press release identifies the workers by name (and biographical low-points) and goes on to say "we welcome our newest colleagues and look forward to the smell of Axe Body Spray in our elevators." nteu335.org/2025/02/07/c...

Oh this is just *delightful*: for the opening of his documentary on the history of music on SNL, Questlove produced “a high-speed, six-minute DJ mix of SNL music highlights”. So good you’ll want to watch it way more than just once. [kottke.org]

...HAIL WATCH IN EFFECT... * WHAT...Hail. * WHERE...Everywhere #Commanders fans are found. * WHEN...3 p.m. onward. * IMPACTS...Hail. A hail watch means conditions are favorable for HAIL. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... #RaiseHail && $$

@cwdarney.bsky.social As the only former F-18 pilot I follow, I figured you needed to see this: www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...?

@arlnow.bsky.social @wtopnews.bsky.social absolute chaos on southbound Carlin Springs in Arlington in front of Campbell elementary. Multip Priuses (Pri-i?) Spun out on the unsalted hill. Northbound pavement was salted and is just wet.

Changeover happened fast in Baileys Xroads -- this parking lot was clear 20 minutes ago. @capitalweather.bsky.social

Washington fans going from Dan Snyder to Jayden Daniels and the NFC championship must feel like when Andy Dufresne crawled thru a river of shit in Shawshank Redemption

Somewhere Dan Snyder is rolling over in his crypt.

@flightradar24.com Was this just a near miss west of IAD between UAL109 and UAL2732? Never seen a 777 and 787 at 900 feet of vertical separation and virtually no horizontal separation this close to an airport.

@granthpaulsen.bsky.social Commanders flying back to DC in style on a chartered United 777. Have they always flown this well, or is it a new owners thing?

This may be the best Christmas gift idea I've seen in years. Fine local craftsmanship.

Mexico is our largest trading partner. China is second. Canada is third. Odds are half the things you see around you right now are from there. And Trump wants them all to be 25% more expensive. Brilliant.

Anyway, it's not an echo chamber, it's a neighborhood cookout in my backyard. Everyone's invited and welcome, but the second you act like a shithead to me or our neighbors, I throw you over the fence into the gully.

People of Bluesky. Let's get to know each other better. What's your favorite movie? Quote share with your answer only in gif form.

“What was the first major BlueSky sporting event?” “We watched an elderly Mike Tyson fight a YouTube influencer on a busted stream.”

Imagine if @theonion.com hosted a title fight. Badly. This is that.
