By some miracle, FC Heidenheim is still alive on the final match day of the Bundesliga season. May the miracles continue!!! #nurderFCH

Greetings from the last row of the Alliance Arena. #NurDerFCH

On a plane 10,000 meters in the sky, watching FC Heidenheim still hanging on to a tiny bit of hope of not getting relegated by defeating Union 3-1. Both of these things seem like minor miracles. 🙂

It's kind of funny how the US spent 80 years building up the post war world from GATT to NATO to the World Bank and IMF in their image and their benefit and then we elected someone so dumb that he doesn't understand that structure and is is ruining it.

unlike education, health care, child care or parental leave which is woke bull shit

19 minutes of rambling with no coherent message

Not overly thrilled about the coincidence that this letter came to my teenager on the same day that Trump will give a speech on Iran.

Let's just say that someone violated social norms in the faculty lounge on Monday and Tuesday.

How does Italia manage to miss the World Cup yet again?!?

Even Boss Tweed would be disgusted by this.

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

I always panic when trying to buy Bundesliga tickets and so I just ended up purchasing what are probably the worst seats possible in the Allianz Arena for the Bayern-Heidenheim match on May 2. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2A_Q...

What a collapse by North Carolina and what a comeback by VCU!

I hope this isn't true, because this man is an absolute legend. (But I can understand why he might want to do it.)

I did some research a few years ago with Kuhelika De and Ryan Compton on the effects of oil price shocks. Perhaps of interest to some of you now. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran. No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles. Worth a watch. (🎥 BBC News/BBC Verify)

Congrats to Franjo von Allmen of Switzerland for winning gold in the men's Olympic downhill. Congrats even more to my Swiss wife who exhibited unbridled joy** at this outcome. **Unbridled joy by Swiss-German standards which means she smiled with quiet excitement. 😂😂😂

This was my first tweet on the other site. I would say that some things never change, but they have... and they have gotten much worse.

At halftime, I decided to boot up my computer just so I could do this. You're welcome. #NCAAFB #CFP #Doink @sarahspain.com @cjzero.bsky.social

The FCS Championship game is almost as crazy as the Steelers-Ravens game last night.

Question about "reading" books: I'm thinking about setting a goal of certain number of books to read in 2026. I often listen to audio books when I go out for runs, does this count as "reading"? #reading #books #running

Happy New Years to all of you! I hope that all of your best wishes for 2026 come to pass (especially the wishes of FC Heidenheim supporters). 😀 #FCH #FCHeidenheim #Bundesliga

I'm sure this is a delightful account and the "don't forget to lichen subscribe" is amusing, but I have no idea why Bluesky would place this account at the very top of my discovery list. Is there any sort of algorithm at all?

I might include this in my introductory lecture this coming semester.

Football - the sport of the common man.

@bencollins.bsky.social After all of the other presents were opened this morning, I told my college freshman that I had also gotten him a subscription to @theonion.com and that it would start arriving in a few weeks. (It was like when Ralphie got his BB gun; hopefully he won't shoot his eye out.)

Exactly 81 years ago, my great-uncle Oliver Weissert "celebrated" Christmas by fighting in a skirmish in the small town of Verdenne, Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge. (He was KIA two months later a little bit north of Aachen.)

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Hard to have a worse sports day than I had yesterday: Bundesliga: FC Heidenheim loss to FC Bayern 0-4 NFL: Lions go old-school and blow their season against Steelers NCAA Basketball: Southern Illinois loss to Bradley Fantasy Football: Lost in playoffs because Josh Allen scored a measely 6 points

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Professors punching Nazis. (submitted without futher comment)

At least this is a start--there are two many creeps in the economics profession.

A Thanksgiving Miracle. (We are at my mom's for the weekend and after FCH scored their second goal, I screamed so loud that I scared my mom.)

Happy Wednesgiving* to all who celebrate! *Wednesgiving is a holiday my family made up a while back that allows my siblings and I to spend part of Thanksgiving week celebrating with my dad and stepmom and another day with my mom and her side of the family.

you can tell the catholic church hates JD Vance because there have been like 8 Pope Urbans and no Pope Rural

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution. Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

This is one of the craziest games I have ever seen.

"Lloyd Dobler stands outside Diane’s window holding up his phone. He prompts 'Siri, 'Play 'In Your Eyes' by Peter Gabriel.' Siri streams 'Private Eyes' by Hall and Oates, right after playing a thirty-second Geico ad."

All football clubs should be majority fan owned (cf. the 50+1 rule in the Bundesliga).

Things are awful, but today at work I got to tell a very good person some very good news. One of the best work days I have ever had. 😊😊😊

We used to call this stupidity. There were smart people and stupid people and we let the smart people do the things they were good at and the stupid people were taken care of and didn't need to worry about what the smart people were doing. But now we let the stupid people think they're smart.

I'll admit, I was skeptical when they said Gemini was just like a bunch of PhDs. But I gotta admit they nailed it.

FC Heidenheim with a comfortable match against 4th tier Bahlinger SC. Fun fact for me is that the Kaiserstuhl region in which Bahlingen is located is where my Giedeman(n) ancestors were from. (I still have long-distant cousins living in the area even if I don't know any of them.)
