Good to see he can't ruin everything.

That's okay. It'll make Acuña's game winner more dramatic.

Where's our Jesuit special forces this millennium? Like the ones they kept sending to knock off Elizabeth I

Nothing about the war makes any sense. They killed one of the leaders who might be willing to cut a deal? Why? All of it seems arbitrary and almost accidental at this point.

I hope MLB sees the excitement for WBC and what actual competitive balance can do for their sport.

The whole country has been redirected to Cisco Duo

"I've heard the soul unfolds In the chambers of its longing And the bitter liquor sweetens In the hammered cup But all the ladders Of the night have fallen Only darkness now To lift the longing up.."

Boom! Had a great ight show over the skyline tonight. Here’s my first big lightning shot of the season. This is a 2-frame composite. Best as I can tell, two large, branching bolts struck the eastern antenna mast of the Hancock. #wxsky #ilwx

What a beautiful piece of writing. When I was in grad school, Rick Bass was a writer whose work convinced me short fiction was worth dedicating years to learn. This isn't fiction, but Bass is never better than when illuminating the majesty of the natural world.

If we thought securing little outposts on a valley floor in Afghanistan was a nightmare of blood and coin.

Nothing overpromises like Spring Break.

I am literally at an NCAR-hosted, NCAR-led meeting where the future of U. S. radar meteorology - one of our most lifesaving enterprises - is being articulated by 180+ diverse participants. NSF NCAR is the only institution capable of convening our community so effectively.

"Something ineffable happens when you write down a thought: You think something you did not know you could or would think and it leads you to another though. The process of writing itself leads to previously unthought thoughts [and] crystallizes half-formulated or unformulated thoughts" - Lynn Hunt

Ask anything: When will we have a cover reveal? Answer: Soon!

I judge the importance of a severe weather event by how many names I recognize on Spotter Network.

I like that Trump will say some garbled sentence like, “The war against the very bad, no class Agrabah is now over until soon and with tears in her eyes, Bianca Jagger thanked me in Studio 54” and serious people act as if he had some sort of coherent thought that he’ll remember tomorrow

man, i click on lots of stuff, new and old, cool and cringe and everything in between. lots of those clicks are inessential and some are good but boy howdy i was not prepared for this performance of 'these days' to hit me between the eyes like a brick

So it's going to be 8:00 AM when it's not really 8:00 AM? Is that the gist of it?

An elected representative said this in public

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

Why are so many people logged into Spotter Network in North Texas right now? Did they run out of gas on the way back from Tulsa last night?

You’ve been murdered, who do you want on the case?

All the old Twitter dreams of Orange behind bars will finally come true when Paxton nails him with the obscure Texas statute against “noxious or obnoxious odors” in an elevator.

Paxton won't drop out by the way. He's a man on the run. He has to be a US senator for the same reason Orange can't risk not being president.

Orange says whoever he does not endorse between Paxton and Cornyn should drop out of the runoff. He's not going to ask a standing US Senator to drop out. Somebody told him Talarico would beat Paxton.

The Find Out phase continues apace.

mark teixeira once tried to get bees to stop swarming at a spring training game by bringing a plastic bear honey bottle out of the clubhouse, he will be the republican party’s top scientific mind in congress

The big question now is how do Wesley Hunt voters split between Paxton and Cornyn?

Wasserman calls a race and every year people are like, "He doesn't know what he's doing! He's a nut!" People who (like me) ask Siri to add any two 3-digit numbers for them.

I don't know why so many Republicans prefer Paxton because I don't watch Newsmax Ultra or sniff nitrous oxide, but what in the world offends them about John Cornyn?

Early results indicate Texans have put forward for November's election Genghis Khan, Jeffrey Dahmer, and a snarling, slobbering raccoon Mary Jo Fite trapped under her porch in Honey Grove.

I voted despite my stubborn notion that democracy has proven itself a pile of excrement for having placed the entire human race in peril.

The numbers are staggering: Rent is now unaffordable for a record *half* of U.S. renters. Some 30 million jobs pay less than $15 an hour. The average wage needed to afford a one-bedroom apartment has climbed to $28.17 — nearly four times the federal minimum wage, which hasn't gone up in 16 years.

Maybe a four corners region cutoff low for Spring Break? Yes please. Finally some good news. youtu.be/uPO-VwB2vFo?...

None of it is remotely believable.

10 I’m the expert 9 I’m an expert 8 I’ve got some meaningful expertise 7 I above-average know what I’m talking about 6 I’m not an expert but I care enough to post about this regularly 5 Just my opinion but I really think I’m right 4 Just an opinion 3 Hot take 2 Ok I’m probably wrong 1 I am a troll

I have lots of dumb ideas, but one of the dumbest is for a new bluesky feature, a little number you fill in every time you tweet where you say what level of expertise you think you have about the thing you’re tweeting about.

Rereading Le Guin tonight with real pleasure. What a writer. Prose like granite.

Up there with Dorsey assuring us he trusted Elon with the “future of human consciousness.”

Most faculty don’t want to see each other in the hallway let alone gather in a “lounge.”

I want to do my part in raising awareness. Texas's Big Bend is set to receive new border security infrastructure, including >100 mi of border wall cutting through Big Bend National Park. Kristi Noem just waived 28 environmental protection laws and regulations to expedite this construction. 🧵 1/4

Full panorama of the 2025 Dickens/Wellfleet LP tornado+supercell! View is looking ESE up into the mesocyclone. The RFD clear slot is visible in the upper right, and in the distance on the bottom left you can even see a bit of the FFCB. Stationary supercell with deviant westerly tornado. Perfection!

How many stormchaser friends here have kissed the piece of Blarney Stone in Shamrock, Texas? As popular a target as it is, as often as I've sat there bored to tears, nobody ever mentioned a dirty slab of limestone we could slobber on.
