Really gotta get back to posting random photos I've shot over the years on this site. I have more than I know what to do with

😍😍😍

Breaking News! Code UFB!!! December, 2025, Arctic sea-ice volume data just came in from PIOMAS, and this last December just set a new record low for December sea-ice volume. Grateful for this data: psc.apl.uw.edu/wordpress/wp...

WTF, I repeat all-day long

The Trump admin's strategy for dealing with the (non-bought-and-paid-for) media:

Here's Jim's original memo from 1986:

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

This looks like 1,000 videos I've seen from authoritarian states

Good statement

The first two hours this morning

@bencollins.bsky.social please stop letting Onion writers take side-gigs. The universe keeps hiring them to write the scripts

The Billboard Modern Rock tracks from 30 years ago Jesus Christ

Quick planners.

Trump just posted this photo of the sharpest minds in our intelligence community hard at work during the Venezuelan operation.

Cancer research costs too much but we have the money to run Venezuela

It’s not about drugs. If it was, Trump wouldn’t have pardoned one of the largest narco traffickers in the world last month. It’s about oil and regime change. And they need a trial now to pretend that it isn’t. Especially to distract from his sinking under Epstein and skyrocketing healthcare costs.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

If anyone is doing #DryJanuary - for whatever reason - you've got this! It might be easy, it might be hard. But I'm here if you have questions or need some support. I started my 3rd or 4th D.J. a week early in 2018 (Christmas Day), and I've been "dry" ever since.

The thing about the #winterclassic is that no matter how hard they try (or maybe the harder they try) the decorations and “set design” spread across the field surrounding the actual ice sheet looks cheap and tacky. Nothing beats a sea of people up against the glass

1000M(oon) rise

This is much better than the Sunday Night Football headshots.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Hat tip to @mandyhawk19.bsky.social - looks like Bedard is now practicing with pucks. I’d assume dark gray is “yeah, you can do some things but you ain’t playing yet.”

😂 It’s wild how the same house can feel like Santa’s storage unit in December and a minimalist art gallery by January. The bins giveth, the bins taketh away.

this is worth reading www.reddit.com/r/confession...

Cursive!? Pshhh....kids these days can't even hand carve stone letters.

Neat to see one of these predictions every once in awhile that absolutely nails it

Cheers to 2026, #Chicago! The fireworks view from LondonHouse was 🔥

Enjoying the snow from LondonHouse Chicago while waiting for the midnight fireworks. Cheers to 2026!

From high-impact weather events to stratus clouds dancing over the open ocean, this year was filled with impressive satellite imagery. We look back on the most compelling satellite views of 2025. 1) Mesovortices slosh within Hurricane Melissa’s ferocious eye (October 8).

I feel like I've received more fundraising emails today than Giving Tuesday.

Sheeeeeeee-it.

No abortions. No exceptions. This is the future that they plan for women. Forced birth or die trying.

high-level depressing: christmas trees on curbs

I've waited 3 years to make this post

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

Also gives me vibes of the “Van Horne pneumatic transit” station from Ghostbusters 2 where the rover of smile flowed through

Defenses not included

The #Bears holding their own in a shoot-out is not something I have seen in my entire lifetime.

What is the best sitcom theme song of all time, and why is it Perfect Strangers’?

There's an entire city beyond these balconies. The fog ate it. (And now, rumblings of thunder.)

A few severe storms will be possible today, especially this afternoon. See details here ⬇️

With the Packers’ loss to the Ravens, the Chicago Bears have clinched the NFC North for the first time since 2018.

Reminding you of this amazing moment in The Nutcracker (1993) starring Macaulay Culkin
