British commentator called a sloppy foul “agricultural”. Definitely going to be using that one

The British World Cup commentators call the wave the “Mexican wave”

The World Cup “referee view” strikes me as one of the worse technological developments in sports broadcasting

Soccer seems like it would be way more fun to watch without a goalie. Is the goalie necessary?

The nyt cooking writers share too much information about their personal lives in their recipe newsletters

Why does duolingo teach you podcast before computer 😭

MBTA bus driver just refused to let a fire truck merge and slammed on the horn when the truck turned on the siren. Fireman just smiled and shook his head. Incredible stuff happening in this city

There’s this place on mass ave in Cambridge called “Italian waters” that just sells bottled water

Great bit out there for a sci fi movie to have the AI android character speak in chatgpt cadence

First they came for my neighbor and I was like damn that’s crazy. Then they came for me and I was like Ah shit shit shit shit fuck

so wait, do you get worse at football as you get older? it seems to me like you would get better at it since you'd have more time to learn football facts

Are they just gonna make the president the person of the year every time there’s an election?

i'm writing a screenplay called Heart Of A Champion about a guy who has a cold and has to sneeze and blow his nose all the time, but still gets a lot of work done on the computer. not sure yet but i think it'll probably wind up being a christian movie

Al Michaels: Aaron rodgers, now that’s a guy who makes his opinion known Kirk herbstreit: oh absolutely, and his teammates love him for that, he really— Michaels: sometimes you wish he’d stay quiet about it! Herbstreit: oh absolutely

Trying to decide if I care enough about Bruce Springsteen to watch this movie that I know is gonna be terrible

My boy Jared Goff is so charismatic

The achievable carbon uptake from planting trees is much lower than previous estimates, and even lower than many nations have committed to. New paper by Wang et al. in Science. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 🧪🌏🌳🌲🌐

Totally changed my view on Gaza when I learned that the starving kids were… also really sick

Cybertruck just let me merge. Maybe we aren’t so different after all…

We put together a really exciting session on root exudation at #ESA2025 tomorrow, with an elite group of speakers! I suspect this is the first (but hopefully not last!) exudate-focused session at ESA. Hope to see you there!!

Such a fun project & massive team effort. We sampled tree cores my 1st yr of grad school then took a year to figure out how to grind wood… ! But we were amazed to find such a complex & unexpected ecosystem inside trees. And we’ve just scratched the surface! We explored 150 trees— 3 trillion to go!

“look i don’t care what it’s about just give me 300 words”

Hunter Biden has a point. And a quite colorful one.

I know so many dedicated and brilliant scientists who work (and I guess now worked) at EPA. The loss of expertise and ability to make science-informed decisions will have lasting damage for our health. Academics and advocates will have to try to fill the gap. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/c...

i'm the guy who replies to your top 10 favorite albums list, an extraordinarily subjective and exclusive list by its very definition, with "you forgot music o'clock by gary guitar and the rockin' instrument band"

This is just going to be the first of many, many stories you are going to read about big tech companies faking "AI for climate" claims. The sheer volume of AI-climate-washing going on right now is huge, and it's very likely most of the claims are fabricated or exaggerated archive.is/8sYNv

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Excited to see this paper out! We used NEON data to explore the relationship between fine root and soil carbon stocks. With @sr-weino.bsky.social @katerinageorgiou.bsky.social @aaberhe.com @josephtumber.bsky.social @mingzhenlu.bsky.social et al. doi.org/10.1038/s432...

we worked so hard on this, nights and weekends, trying our best to do a good job for the American people

Proposed NOAA budget zeros out ALL climate laboratories and cooperative institutions. GFDL, NSSL, GML, etc. This appears to also end the US greenhouse gas sampling network, including at Mauna Loa, the oldest continuous carbon dioxide monitoring site on Earth. www.commerce.gov/sites/defaul...

Paper now out in Science Advances — “Soil carbon formation is promoted by saturation deficit and existing mineral-associated carbon, not by microbial carbon-use efficiency” with Noah Sokol science.org/doi/epdf/10....

If this is even remotely accurate, Elon Musk and Donald Trump have killed more people in several months than the Iraq war killed in a decade

This is interesting, because he says he wants to create “in-house” publishing outlets instead. I’ve often thought institutions should publish peer-reviewed manuscripts directly to repositories rather than subscribing to the journal system, but this shows there’s some value to having a third party

BREAKING: Judge blocks Trump administration from revoking Harvard enrollment of foreign students reut.rs/3FfWGi3

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students

As a Harvard international graduate student… I’m sad. And scared. Really scared.
