Welp, Tuesday night's hope dried up real quick.

Welcome to the “hey, that’s not the way my foot is supposed to be pointing, something must be wrong with my ankle” club, Cam Skattebo.

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

It’s Fall Break so obviously I’ll just work at home! Monty: It’s finally getting cold and I have other ideas.

Amazing that this iconic instrumental has been burned into my brain for 35 years and yet I will never again hear it without hearing Tim Robinson's lyrics.

Long time, no talk. Two and a half weeks of a broken ankle down. Still better than the last three weeks of Penn State football.

Welcome back, sir.

[professor voice] That's an F.

"Hey, Forrest. Every year, I sit down to watch a season of Penn State football, but it doesn't say not to watch the games against top-10 opponents. But here's the thing. I'm a sucker. Do they expect me to watch top-10 losses year after year? What is that like?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=uloT...

Well that feels like deja vu from the ND game last year.

How in the hell is this game going to OT

PENNNNNNN STAAAAAAAAAAAATE

Posted this at 10-3. Halfway there!

Tre Wallace is the 3rd leading receiver in the SEC this season. Omari Evans doing things in Washington. Penn State paid for a completely new WR core this year and they've not been able to get the ball at all this game. It's Drew. It's always been Drew and I'm finally coming around to admitting it.

Big Ten refs will never call holding on a Penn State opponent. 1 call on at least 15 holds tonight, even when bear hugs are being applied right in front of referees.

Would guarantee that refs wouldn't have taken a second look at that play if Whittington broke that tackle and ended up scoring initially.

There have been at least 6-8 of those brutal no calls on holds tonight.

Someone needs to give Drew Allan a buzzcut at halftime. The broccoli cut is for children and he's playing like he's in pee-wee out there.

Big game, so as always, time to listen to Deon Butler. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwq5...

34-27 Nits btw

Wishing I was in State College tonight.

Breaking into my digital detox to do my yearly advocating for Jonathan Frakes to be the guest picker for @collegegameday.bsky.social's trip to Penn State. The timing is right with his current cover spread in the @pennstatermag.com. Do the right thing, @espn.com! bsky.app/profile/penn...

Earth and Atmospheric Sciences program is on the chopping block as a result of budget shortages at UNL. Sad day if the proposed plan comes to fruition.

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence. Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets. Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe. It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

I've been getting requests from reporters about the disbanding of the DOE Climate Working Group. Here are some comments. More to come on my Substack (www.theclimatebrink.com).

Bullying (and superior science) works. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

Look out, Lincoln - here I come! I'll be at the University of Nebraska's School of Natural Resources on Wednesday, September 10, at 3:30 PM to give a seminar. I'll bring some books to sell and will be happy to sign books that folks already have! See you tomorrow!

Texas A&M out with a fundraising email the morning after trampling on the academic freedom of those in my same profession. I think I’ll pass!

If *your department head and your dean* can be removed for supporting your colleague in teaching in their area of expertise, then you have no academic freedom. In a functional sense, you don't work at a university at all.

You've got one week left to submit your application for our Health/Sci Comm Assistant Professor position here in @bellisariograded.bsky.social, so please share with anyone who might be interested!

It’s our year. Go Bills.

Were your research papers stolen to train Anthropic's AI product Reddit post for checking and joining a class action. www.reddit.com/r/Professors...

More excitement after the game than during the last time FIU came to play at Penn State - my first game in Beaver Stadium as a freshman. youtu.be/nwxlEx4NXC8?...

Greatest city in the world

Our 400+ page comment on the DOE climate working group report is now out. Our conclusion: The merchants of doubt are back, and they're coming for climate science.

Happy Labor Day 🙂

Solidarity with all my fellow union members and all workers in general on this Labor Day. ✊🏼🌹

Wide receivers actually making plays for Penn State!

Penn State 48, Nevada 10

Big Nude El Assico next weekend. 15-11 final score incoming.

WHALE JAMZ BACK

Didn’t miss having to listen to Gus call football games.

Not sure I’m emotionally ready for Lee Corso’s last Gameday appearance. But looking forward to seeing who gets the last “not so fast, my friend” treatment. My guesses: 1) Everyone picking Alabama over his alma mater Florida State. 2) JD Vance thinking he’s going to become president this weekend.

Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.

This is the peak Axios AI story. Workers are getting stressed because they’re under pressure to find something useful to do with AI. If they don’t investors will have bought into a bubble. Why do workers hate investors?

Seventh dimension of hell.

Okay, the first Fansville commercial of the year is pretty good.

It’s all happening so fast and without any tangible pushback from those in the opposition.
