Both Texas A&M and Indiana University should lose accreditation.

Prohibited activities include advising Chinese graduate students. For reference, a recent Georgetown report estimated 16% of STEM graduate students in the US are Chinese nationals. This would take out entire fields at the knees, which is perhaps the point.

Uh has anyone done wordle yet today…

Why yes I will watch my first terrible Xmas movie of the season thanks for asking Netflix

If you have to get permission to teach in your area of expertise from people who are definitionally not qualified to adjudicate your expertise then you are no longer working at a university. You’re working at a state propaganda factory.

Hey Baltimore if you could stop catching on fire that would be great. Thanks.

I just dumped a typo filled phrase into google. Normal Google understood exactly what I meant and completed the search accordingly. “AI” Google came up with a completely nonsensical interpretation of what I had typed.

This book has radically transformed my understanding of the first amendment by teaching me the significance of the fourteenth amendment to modern interpretations Why does this matter? Because the 14th is the one that conservatives have been gutting bookshop.org/p/books/what...

The solar wind is still cooking! Bz is tanking to -20 nT now and wind speeds are extremely elevated > 800 km/s. The central U.S. could see more aurora tonight during substorm activity. Keep an eye on things, and I’ll update as the night goes on.

Grilled cheese sandwich or mashed potatoes? I never ate dinner and now I’m hungry-ish

CLAIM: The government is run by a secret society of pedophiles RATING: FALSE. This society is in no way a secret

I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

Check it out! Here's a photo of the aurora sent to me by my sister near Somerset, Wisconsin. Photo is only five minutes old, so this is more or less a current view.

Central U.S. states may have a shot later. A healthy auroral arc is now brightening and moving south as seen by U.S.-Canada border states.

Jeffrey Epstein, a notorious pedophile & sex trafficker who used blackmail & god knows in foreign dealings with despots, says “I have met some bad people but none as bad as Trump” & yeah, this tracks. The fact that his accomplices think they won’t also end up in jail or dead blows my mind.

This email dump is really a who’s who of names I NEVER FUCKING WANTED TO HEAR AGAIN

turns out the emails we should have been reading in 2016 were from the NYT

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

Apparently the CME probably hit a few hours ago and despite the forecast it is cloudy as all hell here. Glad we had aurora fun last night.

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

starting to think the trump administration is a little bit reluctant to have the epstein files released it is just a feeling i am getting

ICE is at the Waverly Giant, Baltimore friends. Beware.

Boy do I wish I could have a chat with all the naysayers when I posited that Epstein was a dirt factory for Putin. How many times have we asked "what does Putin have on Trump?" www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The sun really said how do I contact the senate democrats to express my anger at their complicity

This is incredible!

i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

how did i go so long not knowing we were literally teaching people to read wrong. i knew something wasn't right but jesus christ www.apmreports.org/episode/2019...

Submit them to Aurorasaurus!!! They're an NSF funded project out of University of New Mexico that takes crowdsourced aurora observations for research purposes: www.aurorasaurus.org

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event. Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

You think maybe this is a biggie as far as solar storms go? You'd be right. It is! One of the five biggest of the current solar cycle, SC25. In terms of rate of energy dissipation though it isn't up to the May 10-11 event of 2024. That was a G5-level storm. Stay tuned for tomorrow.

In 2025 we take every ounce of joy we can find!

I like how aurora look different for everyone 😍

I am interested in speaking to DC community health activists about how general internists / primary care doctors can help support their efforts. If anyone is interested in this or has ideas, I would love your comments and connections! Thank you.

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere. ❤️☀️ The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

If you live anywhere in the North half of the US I don't think you'll even need to go outside smaller cities to see them. My partner can set them from inside Cedar Rapids! #aurora #northernlights

Texas!

Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

I think we've got a little aurora going on at APO (New Mexico) on the all sky cam: mainapo.apo.nmsu.edu/mainpage/all...

And here I am still feeling guilty for swiping my employer’s post-it notes in 2006

pink aurora in the middle of the city! go outside if you have clear skies!!

it just keeps getting better

it is insane that this is real

It’s a little bit aurora-y here in northern MD
