This is really good news!

No reason… bsky.app/profile/kair...

Man, like this is the thing. You don't have to be a flag-humping establishment traditionalist or whatever to be mad that that fucker turned the room everyone on the planet sees on TV about America into this chintzy shit. That pedo cracker has no fucking taste.

Permanent Standard Time now.

People are gonna fucking hate this if it actually happens. Enjoy all these post 8am sunrises

Perhaps they really are losing more than £33m in fares (over, say, seven years, I dunno how long they expect these to last). Still.

We in medical science and public health spent two years screaming that this would happen and, (checks notes) it happened. And worse will come. #Medsky 🧪🩺

Yes! We tried it! In my living memory! Even in the northeast (I lived in NYC) it was awful. These idiots.

Why I’m a fan of the Oxford comma.

Shame was apparently the load bearing wall beneath our entire democratic experiment and the "has cancel culture gone to far" people blew it up. It turns out you can have democracy or say slurs but actually not both. And they chose the slurs.

And, look, McMaster is NOT going to name a D to fill the seat; Beshear would.

I’m genuinely shocked that almost the entire Anglophone world is busy dismantling academia. The research and teaching missions of universities make them economic engines that pay for themselves several times over—all while building soft power essentially for free.

Trump’s ICE shot Houston construction worker Lorenzo Salgado Araujo from an unmarked car on his way to work, then blamed him. His son only knew it was his dad from the voice on Facebook, crying for help as he bled out in the street. This is regime terror!

This feels like a good time to note that, indeed, USWNT is the winningest team in international sports history (win percentage: 84) the18.com/en/soccer-en...

Oh, come on. Just start reporting that McConnell has passed away and make them prove it’s not alternate facts.

I may (almost?) have been scammed today. If you receive what appears to be an Evite from me for a “celebration”, trash it without touching it and report it as a scam.

I think a lot of folks are about to discover that nakedly propagandizing college students doesn’t actually work that well.

Art Show in Akron ! I’ll have my @cedarpoint #Cyanotype prints on exhibit July & August of Summer of 2026 ! Come on down to Akrontown this Saturday for a small opening ! #eightythreebrewery eighty-threebrewery.com

“The number of students admitted to PhD programs this fall dropped 15% from the prev year, according to data from over 50 top research universities, raising fears that the nation’s capacity to produce new science could [?”COULD”?] be diminished.”🧪

ETTD.

My first trip to Belgium, I got off the train (from the Brussels airport) in Leuven and was waiting for my wife to meet me (the days before cell phones). I thought I’d get a Coke, but the first vending machine I found was … Stella. 9:30am was a little early, but I admit to being tempted.

You: FIFA want the U.S. to be good to make more money Me: FIFA have been watching Belgium play and they do not wish to see that shit any longer

The golden ratio is an irrational number; if you divide a line according to the golden ratio, the smaller part relates to the larger part the same way the larger part relates to the whole. And you can compute the golden ratio yourself, with a pinecone. 1/16 ⚛️🧪

Apollo and Daphne, by Piero del Pollaiuolo, 1470-80

And statehood for South Saskatchewan (both Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, & Wyoming, which together have about the population of South Carolina)!

A self-proclaimed “demon-hunter” and “Cajun Karate expert” named Victor Marx is currently leading the pack in the Colorado GOP gubernatorial primary. So let’s commission some more stories about how the Democrats have gone off the rails.

“if Republicans wanted to throw transgender people out of helicopters from 4,000 feet up (and many of them threaten to do it to me all the time over social media), Democrats would try to negotiate them down to 2,000.” open.substack.com/pub/aaronrup...

It is very America circa 2026 to have two America's birthday celebrations, one that is privately funded by military contractors and is stealing the money meant for the other one. Brett Heinz reports on the Freedom 250 surge and how America250 was left behind. prospect.org/2026/07/03/w...

I was a math GSTA at UMich, and I can affirm I had taken EXACTLY ZERO of the five different courses I TA’ed (precalc 1&2, calc 1&2, and data structures & algorithms for which I was only a grader; I had full responsibility for my own section of the others). This is, as stated, “absolute horse shit.”

Gee, Justice Kavanaugh has anything come up in gun technology that was largely unknown in 1789 and that the Framers of the Second Amendment could not have fully anticipated?

This is a horror.

Last Night’s Full Strawberry Moon in Cleveland, Ohio

I had an appointment yesterday to schedule swallowing a camera and the gastroenterologist asked about my diet. Apparently if you say that you eat berries like a toddler with grown up money it makes their day.

This little thread. I teach my junior devs (literally the age of my child) “write code and comments so that Future Joe says ‘thank you, Past Joe!’ rather than ’Dumbass.’” (Also, the post in the thread about “add a unit test so if they change your function…” is gold.)

today on NPR i listened to a story about who invented home pregnancy tests. it was a woman named margaret crane. 1/? www.frontiersin.org/news/2022/04....

My friends, we now need a “hotdish of X” thread. I’ll start: gnocchi al forno. And I know biryani will be in there. Let’s hear it.

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

"America’s extreme right wing is by far the country’s big problem, and it’s hard to address that problem when powerful elites insist that the trouble is with “both sides.”" newrepublic.com/article/2125...

The Cato Institute, hardly "woke" and much respected among conservatives, have 2 great articles about how well Haitians do in America. They outperform American citizens - reach higher education, earn more & commit less crime on average. www.cato.org/blog/haitian... www.cato.org/news-release...

➡️ The last time Americans voted for a Democratic Socialist as President, they elected him four times in a row. Franklin D. Roosevelt = Emergency Banking Act, FDIC, New Deal, CCC, TVA, Social Security, NLRA, minimum wage, 40 hour work week, Allied Coalition, the 2nd New Deal, etc. ➡️ VOTE PROGRESSIVE!

We execute people with the least amount of power and give immunity to those with the greatest amount of power. This reveals the true nature of power: It is too dangerous to let people hoard power; it must be spread out to all individuals.
