Record numbers of voters are going to the polls in Hungary today for the country’s national elections, which could dislodge Viktor Orban—the far-right leader allied to far-right parties worldwide—from power. We’ll start getting returns after polls close, so after 1pm ET today.

Do horses want cake? We conducted an investigation into statements published by @bencollins.bsky.social in the print edition of @theonion.com.

"hi, I know you used to respect me but I want you to know that I care about a nostalgia bait tv show more than your right to exist, please tell me I'm still a good person" you are an asshole just for asking

this is the most infuriating part of the harry potter discourse - if you're going to watch it, then watch it, god knows millions of people played the stupid game but if you know enough to be aware of the issues, you don't get to ask trans people to absolve you

Being mad is fun #ithaca #nokings

In the face of record March temperatures, the California ISO grid not only met 100% of demand with WindWaterSolar for part of the day on 3/20 but also smashed a 2-day-old battery peak discharge record with 11.91 GW, meeting 34% of peak demand. All with 60% less fossil gas use in '26 than '23.

Polls are open until 7 PM!

They’re awesome! Little fresh water invertebrates, sort of like sea monkeys (the salty water version). Their eggs can survive in soil for 100+ years, just waiting for the vernal pools to come back.

The aftermath of the Iranian strike on the oil tankers at the Basra oil terminal shows an oil slick near the burned out tanker, March 14. It's likely fuel oil as the cargo, oil condensates / naphtha, seemed to have burned of in the fire after the explosion

pre-blizzard update: the city of Minneapolis continues to wage psychological warfare against the Minnehaha Creek beavers

There's long been a sub-genre of Israeli entertainment dedicated to this. "Shooting and crying" they call it. We have it here in the U.S. too of course. I'm reminded of the old joke by Scottish comedian Frankie Boyle. www.welcometohellworld.com/we-deserve-it/

14 years ago today, the M9.1 Tohoku earthquake occurred offshore Sendai, Japan, devastating the region. It was the first great earthquake to occur in a area with a dense GNSS network, which provided an unprecedented view of deformation during the earthquake. (1/3) ⚒️ 🧪 youtu.be/1QCcVqZgNKw

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Anyone know how to remove your papers without making an account? I'm not on there, but in the publicly available part of their search it looks like my papers all are.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

Trying to put together a quick response to the announcement. Can folks (mainly US profs/researchers at this point) reach out if interested to chime in/join? Can share link to draft.
