Look at her 🥹 #EmotionalSupportSpood

dang now we'll probably never see the Rat Wars prequel trilogy

When images of glacial retreat are posted online it's amazing how many people's gut reaction is "summer vs winter!" without any consideration for latitude + light levels or knowledge of actual glaciers. #ChristianAslund #Blomstrandbreen #Svalbard

Exactly. The arrest of the Des Moines school superintendent is so sloppy and so riddled with obviously false information. And ICE is doing this to folks with no resources and no public profile every single day.

My disgust of 7th Oct apologists is the same disgust with Gaza genocide apologists. It's the same type of people. Only happen to stand on different sides.

Silicates you say?

If I was a tutoring company and I wanted to convince you that I could teach your kids maths, I would probably not have an advert that said “3=2” on it! That’s just me though.

When a clam is infected by trematode worms, they leave pits on the shell interior. This is a handy quantitative record that @realhuntley.bsky.social uses to understand the evolution and variability of parasitism over time! Parasites often don't fossilize, so the lessons extend past just clams! (259)

This guide is the result of a lot of careful research, soul-searching, and deep listening. This conversation is so painful for Jewish communities, and our discomfort can’t override the reality of what is happening in Gaza.

Does anyone know if halite can start spontaneously absorbing moisture from the air, to the point of getting all damp and gross? Asking for my teaching samples. ⚒️🍎

Well don't I feel stupid

You've all read Pratchett's MONSTROUS REGIMENT, I expect? Do you recall the Abominations issued by the god Nuggan? Nuggan issued Abominations against chocolate, cats, dwarfs, the color blue, garlic, crop rotation, the smell of beets, and much more, and the reader sees that Nuggan is clearly mad.

Yizkor about to start

It took just three days to get Sinclair to back down, and what it got in exchange for agreeing to put Kimmel back on the air was...nothing. This is not what happens every time you stand up to a bully, but if you don't fight back, you'll never know if you would have won.

repeating the phrase "full books" as I slam my head against my desk until I pass out

Unsolved mysteries: - what happened to D.B. Cooper? - what killed those people at the Dyatlov Pass? - where did Amelia Earhart crash? - how did all this dog hair end up INSIDE my phone case?

Jews should not attempt to take over Al-Aqsa, Muslims should not lie about the Kotel. This isn’t that hard.

Translation: Jews were at the Kotel

This may be the most important paper ever published about NIH funded research. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

It feels like an insult to the notion of objective reality to invoke “experts” to weigh in on a numerical fact you can verify with a pocket calculator

all I'm saying is that literally any game would be better if it had Dratula in it

i maintain that heretics & apostates are much more useful terms than "not real christians"

"of course ChatGPT is full of errors when it comes to my specific area of professional or technical expertise, that's why I only use it for other stuff, where I can't tell if it's bullshit or not" 📰🗞💥

Only known from a single plant growing in the botanic gardens in Sri Lanka, the endemic Pini-Beraliya was declared Extinct in the Wild. But a post on social media about the tree has now led to the discovery of three wild populations and a recovery programme! 🌱🧪🙌🏻 news.mongabay.com/2025/08/soci...

The 40 cloves of garlic you put in this pasta recipe will be the best 80 cloves of garlic you ever eat, you certainly will not regret putting 120 cloves of garlic into your pasta

An obvious instruction to falisfy evidence being "Hey can you write anti-ice stuff on the bullets?" and the guy writing "ANTI ICE" is truly on the level of being told "make sure you put 3 sims in the staged picture of the Ukrainian spy hideout" and buying a few copies of The Sims 3. Very good.

Our research group just published a study in Nature on how fish biodiversity in U.S. rivers and streams has been changing over the past 27 years (1993–2019). The results show sharply diverging trends depending on historic and changing water temperature. 🧵 rdcu.be/eH0l8

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Four generic frogs? No! These are members of four different FAMILIES from Europe, Borneo, Madagascar, and East Africa, convergently evolved on the generic brown frog morphotype! 🧪🐸

An original dvar torah on the Binding of Isaac, written by me, if you want to quote it please cite me by name, thanks. A thread (1/20) I'll start with a disclaimer and an anecdote. First, the disclaimer: at no point in this dvar torah will I be mentioning Søren Kierkegaard's "Fear and Trembling."

You guys do yourself a favor and look at what Eric Adams wore to Rosh Hashanah services at the Sephardic Lebanese Congregation

SHOCKING SCENES AT NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPRITE: the other day I gave some kudos to the grocery store for having seasonally appropriate foods (honey cake, round challah, etc.) on their little Rosh Hashanah display, credit where credit is due,

As a guest at a very progressive Reform shul in NJ, I just walked out of Rosh Hashanah services in the middle of the rabbi's sermon. Why? While talking about the rise of antisemitism, she brought up fears of an incoming Zohran Mamdani mayorship over "his 'globalize the intifada' rhetoric".

me sending this announcement to my friends but the attachment is just this video (don't worry I can make this joke, I do have That Boy Kinda Different syndrome)

This approximately 15m-long fossil tree trunk from the Angeac-Charente bonebed of Early Cretaceous France is insane. #paleontology #paleobotany #botany

Eiskapelle is... gone! ❄️🧊🔥 As of 20th Sept., the last arch of the lowest lying (~900 m asl) permanent firn ice deposit in the Alpine region collapsed too! Such total disappearance never happened in recent history... 😱 Source: @jojoski2.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/jojo...

I'm pondering the Disney boycott and how fast it revved up. When I was a kid, Disney brought you Sunday movie night and reasonably affordable Disney on Ice shows. Going to the park once was in reach for middle class families. You liked their movies or you didn't but you knew what you'd get. ...

Hello, sir Would you like to hear several tomes' worth of disputes and definitions of what constitutes a "knot"? No we're not mathematicians, we're rabbis, since when do mathematicians have forbidden labours?

What... what do they think we're *supposed* to do at the High Holidays?

This here is one of our best advantages against the fascists. Everything they do is a top-down astroturf effort, and because they have very little imagination they assume those opposing them are the same way. They will spend all their efforts chasing illusory Jewish billionaires because they cannot

It's worth quoting at greater length from Lincoln's speech at Cooper Union, which rings very, very true today: you really only have to switch a few proper nouns around and it still fits.

the hetero hunker / THE BISEXUAL REPOSE (with @kasuminasai.bsky.social at the Field Museum's temporary exhibit about color, a few years back.)

The bit about how sticklebacks have recolonized these ghost ponds is boggling my mind. They're not drought-adapted so they don't have eggs that can survive being out of water, so how DO they get from one isolated pond to another? I feel like waterfowl are involved SOMEhow. Fascinating stuff.

had to read the article to understand wtf was going on here which is that Meta is literally feeding Instagram pictures parents took of their teenage daughters to middle aged men as ads for Threads

this exists it is called thinking
