Puffins in flight. Goodnight Blue Sky

DAWG WE'RE DOING STATE-RUN GAS PRICES AT PRICE CONTROLLED RATES DESPITE INCREASING SHORTAGES TO PACIFY THE PEOPLE AND THEY'RE SCREAMING ABOUT HOW THEIR OPPONENTS WANT COMMUNISM I AM GOING TO LOSE MY ENTIRE GODDAMN MIND

They say: “American History is Worth Learning” [Posts picture from British history].

I think it’s an underrated or at least under-discussed problem that, like, everything gets counterfeited now. The economics and logistics of counterfeiting have improved so much in the last two decades such that it is now trivially easy to accidentally get a fake version of almost anything

data visualization is my passion.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

*sigh*

Campos: While I want to thank CBS news for funding this generous gift towards my education, I want to acknowledge how the recent direction of the outlet stains the legacy of Mike Wallace, the namesake of this scholarship.

Footage captured from passengers on an airliner above Florida, showing the exact moment the Artemis II mission lifts off.

Nothing defines our modern moment better than the “Bullshit Asymmetry Principle”

I'm sorry but when I post about the importance of making a rapid transition to electric vehicles and you comment that the real issue is eliminating cars completely, you're not helping.

New video footage shows a US Tomahawk missile hitting an IRGC facility in Minab, Iran, on Feb 28, showing for the first time that the US struck the area. The footage also shows smoke already rising from the vicinity of the girls’ school, where 175 people were reportedly killed, including children.

Ugh the Paramount+ app is easily the worst of all the streaming platforms

Congrats to Benjamin Netanyahu, the worst prime minister in Israeli history by a wide margin

Nurul Amin Shah Alam's violent arrest, by police who saw his walking stick as a weapon—and who, like the Border Patrol officers who dumped him, apparently made no attempt to reckon with his disability or his mental state—set off events that ended in his death. www.motherjones.com/mojo-wire/20...

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

BREAKING Former ICE agent: On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

What an absolutely insane story

Happy last day of nuclear arms control to those who celebrate

Looks like another great time to revisit this interview with Daniel Immerwahr, the author of How to Hide an Empire. thebulletin.org/premium/2025...

It’s been a real tough day for CBS News overall, but I’ll still give them credit for this sequence of paragraphs. www.cbsnews.com/news/bear-un...

While home for Christmas, I learned our neighbor John Hertlein, the soybean farmer I interviewed in 2018 when Trump was making things hard for farmers the first time, recently passed. Grateful he was willing to sit down with the neighbors' curious journalist kid from NYC and tell me about his work

🚨 JUST IN: Routine reactor emissions pose no meaningful health risk to the US workers and population, @astein.bsky.social and PJ Seel argue in @thebulletin.org. #nuclearenergy #safety #nukesky

The headline should read: Federal Prosecutors Lied to Judge, According to Emails in Abrego Garcia Case

🚨 JUST IN: In a region already bristling with all types of nuclear weapons, bestowing latent nuclear-weapon-state status upon South Korea is needlessly destabilizing, writes Sharon Squassoni in @thebulletin.org. #SouthKorea #TrumpAdministration #submarines #nuclearweapons #nukesky

Don’t like that

“Overall, the trouble with the National Security Strategy document just released—and, really, all assertions that the administration has a strategy—is that they cannot account for President Trump’s mercurial nature and erratic behavior.” thebulletin.org/2025/12/a-na...

Sometimes rethinking the way you've been doing things for a long time is good. Other times, when the thing you're rethinking is 3+ decades of advice that has decreased incidence of a deadly liver-rotting disease by 99 percent, it's not so good. @thebulletin.org thebulletin.org/2025/12/a-cd...

🚨 JUST IN: The last agreement constraining US and Russian nuclear weapons expires in two months, and Putin has proposed to extend it. But it takes two to tango, Steven Pifer writes. #nuclearweapons #NewSTART #nukesky

Good thread from Dave about the new IEA "Current Policies Scenario" making a lot of the headlines. Here is a very quick mock-up I made of what this scenario assumes for solar PV additions through to 2035, with historical context. I'll let you decide whether this seems likely.

🚨 JUST IN: Citizen activism and legislative pressures helped stop US nuclear weapon testing. They will be needed again to protect the moratorium against Trump's call for renewed testing, writes David Cortright. #Trump #nuclearweapons #nucleartests #nukesky

The ending of A House of Dynamite leaves many questions unanswered, intentionally. In reality, we won’t have that luxury. My colleague Isabelle Williams and I pick up where the movie ends, exploring what would unfold in the minutes, hours, and months after the missile hits Chicago.

Just your regular reminder that misinformed and confusing rants can have real consequences.
