Proud to say that I write for that infamous woke organization, SB Nation. Maybe we can rise to first place in next year’s rankings. 😂

Bill Belichick will, however, be making the AFC Pro Bowl roster as a quarterback.

JPL's press release calls this planet a "cold Earth" because it orbits right at the icy edge of its habiable zone. I didn't go with that framing because we literally only know this guy's radius and rough orbital period. And with the right (wrong?) atmosphere it could still actually be Venus-hot.

per my point about the mercator projection being the root of this whole thing

🚨 December 2025 #Arctic sea ice extent was the *lowest* on record for the month... This was 1,620,000 km² below the 1981-2010 average. December ice extent is decreasing at about 3.5% per decade. Data: @nsidc.bsky.social at nsidc.org/data/seaice_...

👉 It's Week 12, let's look at some data... Pressure vs. Sacks: In an ironic twist of fate, the Falcons now have a pass rush... BUT, they rank 18th in EPA/pass & 17th in Success Rate. They are elite in man coverage (4th in EPA), but not so much in Zone (26th). ...

Now that the Sept and Oct data are (belatedly) in, it looks like 2025 will be the second warmest year in the record (~80% probability). The last three years are in a class of their own.

A really amazing image. It was theoretically expected that many gaps in protoplanetary disks are associated with planets, but imaging the planets in action is elusive. Note that there is still gas flowing through the gap, and accreting onto the star; the planet-disk interaction that makes the

This is a pretty amazing bit of history. I was unaware of Carl Borgmann previously. Note Manabe's pioneering work on CO2 and global warming came out 2 years later than this, so Borgmann was ahead of the game in realizing the growing importance of CO2. We had so much warning,

Is sea level around the US accelerating? If you actually do the analysis, instead of just repeating talking points from decades ago, the answer is yes. tamino.wordpress.com/2025/08/03/s...

I always find survey results like this staggering (almost to the point of unbelievability). The US was spending around 1% of its federal budget on foreign aid. The average guess among 1,000+ surveyed Americans was 26%. 15% thought it was over half of the budget (?!) www.kff.org/global-healt...

🧵 On 14 July 2025, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA (LVK) collaboration announced to have detected GW231123, a gravitational wave signal generated by the merger of the two most massive black holes ever observed. With masses of approximately 100 and 140 times that of the Sun, these cosmic giants 🔭 🧪 #cosmology

“We must pray for the conversion of many people, inside and outside of the Church, who still do not recognize the urgency of caring for our common home,” Pope Leo XIV said while celebrating a new formulary of the Mass “for the care of creation.”

Hurricane forecasters and scientists rely on weather data collected and processed by Department of Defense satellites. The Navy has decided to stop sharing the data.

In 2011 my grad student Kirstie Stramler showed that Arctic winter climate fluctuates between cold (transmissive) and warm (opaque) states controlled by the thickness of clouds above. Now Bertossa and L'Ecuyer find that the transmissive state has gone away in Nov., i.e., Nov. is now like Oct.

This is pretty funny. Also probably true.

Another gem in the newly released NASA fiscal-year 2026 budget: How they're going to downsize the Agency. They're going to cut the number of full-time civil servants with NASA from 17,400 to 11,850—a 32% cut. They're going to get rid of a third of the Agency.

Inspired by @jtuttlekeane.bsky.social and @ohdearz.bsky.social, here's what the White House proposed budget cuts to NASA would do to the entirety of the agency's Science Mission Directorate. Bloodbath is right.

The Presidents Budget Request for NASA is out. It’s a bloodbath Canceled are DAVINCI, VERITAS, Juno, OSIRIS-APEX, US participation in ExoMars and EnVision… Huge cut to R&A. No funding to begin development of the Uranus Orbiter. If you’ve ever cared about NASA, time to contact congress.
