I’ve read The Hot Zone. I saw Outbreak. We all did COVID. I don’t wanna buy tickets to this one. At least our president is… well, ok but our HHS secretary is…

apropos of nothing: "everybody tries hard but the gods." -charles bukowski

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

“Even if you stopped climate change today, New Orleans’s days are still numbered,” he added. “It will be surrounded by open water, and you can’t keep an island situated below sea level afloat. There’s no amount of money that can do that.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is amazing. Especially if you don't focus on the fact that this does nothing to change the absolute lack of accountability. www.wired.com/story/a-libr...

“Sunlight has to travel 93 million miles to reach the Earth, but none of those miles go through the Strait of Hormuz,” says @billmckibben.bsky.social. “That makes it a very appealing alternative, especially now that it’s cheaper than burning coal and gas and oil.”

Same.

If you were to look up "examples of reading aloud," this could most certainly be one.

Every day I read of more layoffs. Vimeo, Disney, Meta, Nike. And that’s just this week. These companies don’t have to do layoffs. They could choose to care about their employees. But this depraved Milton Friedman ethos runs corporate culture. And that is something we desperately need to change.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I would like to say something to the ownership and management of Chelsea football club: you've made me hate the club I've spent the last 20 years cheering on. Also, thanks for sending the message repeatedly that poor player performance will be tolerated, but coaches taking the reins will not.

If we can do math this way now, then I need to retroactively get my high school and college math grades changed because it turns out I'm a genius.

It could be worse Blues fans. We could be Spurs. #chelsea #premierleague

Multiple oil spills are visible from space after Iranian and US-Israeli strikes hit oil facilities and ships in the region, with experts warning of an impending environmental catastrophe. https://cnn.it/3Ovxzwk

Every #fpl content creator out there has, essentially, the exact same FH team for this week (which Brighton mid to include basically the only difference). Which has me wondering who the differentials are that will hit big this week.

I meant to Wildcard last week, had a busy workday and missed the midday (for me) deadline. Happy accident, even with Haaland on the bench. But now the conundrum: do I Free Hit or Wildcard this week? #fpl #chasingrank

Not sure if I'm disappointed or relieved not to have seen any "VIKTOR OR-GONE" headlines, but I am a bit surprised.

Good for the people of Hungary, and good for the JD Vance shame tour.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

I'm so excited by & curious about this experiment -- basically Ann Arbor is standing up a second, municipal power utility, devoted to clean energy, to operate alongside its IOU. Unique in the world, far as I know:

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

I've been in a car accident that saw my hood folded up against my windshield, in a plane that landed on two wheels, was thrown into 40° water going down a Class III rapids, and in an elevator that free fell 9-1/2 stories in a 10 story building. Got out of all without a single scratch.

I don’t know what this is for, or where, but it’s perfect.

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Flying with the plebs. A true nightmare scenario for many of them, I'm guessing.

Watching the Michigan Supreme Court arguments right now around the Line 5 oil pipeline. And the attorney for Enbridge Energy is making the argument that blocking the pipeline would be more harmful to the environment than allowing the pipeline. I'm no lawyer but that seems desperate. Good. #noline5

Dumb and evil is no way to go through life.

There are no words for the callous, cynical, sophomoric immaturity of this. This is a child-made fan-vid, or would be if it didn't come from the White House. At this point there is no argument to be made to validate the idea that we, the US, should have any authority in this world.

This guy seems super qualified for *checks all the notes* *finds nothing*

🚨BREAKING: DOJ filed an emergency motion to expedite the 6th Circuit appeal in its effort to obtain Michigan's unredacted voter file before the November election. Claims case "raises an issue of urgency with regard to the security of elections in the US." www.democracydocket.com/cases/michig...

So Kash Patel got back from partying in Milan and fired 10 FBI agents who were investigating Donald Trump for crimes and used lawful subpoenas to obtain the phone records of alleged Trump co-conspirators including *checks notes* Kash Patel. Seems totally above board...

Been using the em dash since AI was more of a threat to Neo than to us — gonna keep using it, thank you very much.

This is 100% the best thing you will see/read today.

Dude is practically my age. This ain't right. Way too young.

Add it to the reasons why I'm actively avoiding flying while this dangerously corrupt, unserious and incompetent administration is in power.

Today's big #FPL deadline decision, which combo to start: Reece James/Harry Wilson, Harry Wilson/Strand Larsen, James/Strand Larsen. I'll waffle until the deadline and, ultimately, make the wrong choice.

Such a great ad, still. It's too bad the Post doesn't actually hold these values, and have tried to shut out the lights. Thankful for all the independent journalists, and committed news outlets, out there who've kept their flashlights on.

😭 Absolute legend. Gone too soon.

I will not wildcard. I will not take a -4. I will not wildcard. I will not take a -4. I will not wildcard. I might take a -4. #FPL #mantras
