Things that are unhealthy to consume in Chicago right now: - vegetables - air

I have never been so invested in George Russell's failure as I am now. #F1

Entering my 9th year of my PhD, ready to defend within 9 months, and I *think* I just figured out how to take effective reading notes. They should let me re-do my quals!

I love when Alex Jacques takes a whole lap to announce a win. That's when you know it's special. #F1

I stg if this becomes a full safety car I'll lose it #F1

Look at that! Some Ferrari luck for once! #F1

I will not let that BS from race control take away from Felix's win, I promise. Next year, David 💔

This Malukas pit better pay off or else Chicago is gonna have the worst Memorial Day #Indy500

Watching Josef crash out for no reason is one of those events that reminds you of the inherent chaos of existence

God damn it

The Doughnut-ist Heresy: when you go to Mass just for the free donuts in the parish hall.

"Individual AI use takes less energy/water than a hamburger." It's true, and I should definitely eat less meat. But I confess, sometimes I'm hungry for a hamburger. I'm never hungry for Adobe Acrobat not to work.

Can anyone from Toab confirm?

The emperor is starting wars and feuding with the Pope. Always a good sign.

I will be taking a social media break during Lent this year in the hopes of rebuilding some neglected connections between my heart/soul and the world around me. See you all after Easter!

Something really needs to be done about the mismatch between high school and college writing. Students come to college with such counter-productive ideas about writing (that you should always avoid repetition, or that passive voice is inherently bad) that have clearly been hammered in as axiomatic.

Lmao I always forget that Leigh Diffey calls luge for nbc

A weird side-effect of the Epstein files release is the realization that many of the most "powerful" and "important" men in the world put like negative effort into composing their emails.

I recently learned that there are now Anglican sedevacantists and that's just. The worst.

My watch (cheap battery powered Timex with no kind of Internet connection) has ended up exactly one hour behind the real time. This is freaking me out. Anyone know how this would have happened? Besides some kind of wormhole event?

Congratulations to Emerson, Lake & Palmer for winning the Grammy for Best Concept Album About An Armadillo Tank for the 54th year in a row

Classic Indycar move, doing something half-assed on short notice that everyone hates

IndyCar taking NASCAR’s spot as the bootlicking clown show of the year (domestic motorsport edition) has to be an all-time upset

they're calling this the indycar century of humiliation

I keep seeing takes that F1 is leaving IndyCar in the dust in America, but IndyCar found a way to embarrassingly link up with an unpopular despot of a country for a street race without even leaving its home market. That's innovation! F1 has to go to other continents to do that!

For a series that wants to attract a wider audience and achieve legitimacy on the world stage, IndyCar is certainly making some... choices

A take that's hot, but still being formulated (a baking take?): Sports boycott discourse needs more nuance. An organized boycott of the Super Bowl would be effective as an economic blow, but those advocating for it are slipping way too easily into "sports are inherently counterrevolutionary"

It's January 30th and I am still hearing the Illinois Lottery Carol of the Bells holiday ad on all my podcasts.

"What makes this occasion even more special and meaningful for us is that we had to travel over 4,000 miles and cross an ocean to receive the kind of dignity and decency that we still cannot find here at home." David Hill Principal Chief of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation

The Bovine has been turned out to pasture.

The revolution will include *sigh* libertarians

After a century of violent arrogance, I don't blame the world at all for the shame and ridicule directed at Americans. But I do also hope the world realizes that the regime is attacking us, too.

Rahm Emmanuel sucks so bad

Switzerland is the world's most booby-trapped and armed country. I feel like that could be put to good use.

I think Truman still has Trump beat for the record lowest approval rating, but I want the stats on the number of people hoping the US president bites it.

This is probably a good time for all of us US researchers who have so far focused on topics abroad to start thinking about how to continue our scholarship without travel. I expect it to get more difficult for Americans to go to Europe in the near future.

I need the US to be massively humiliated on the world stage somehow but I don't really see that happening. We have guns from a century of uninhibited spending

can the world reject trump and the united states every day? it feels really good to watch

The quiet provincial town of Turnover-on-Downs

It's really great that people are getting realistic about what to do when this is over. We also need that same realism to get us there. We didn't get to Nuremberg by waiting it out.

I'm going to have a literal stroke #bears

he ran straight backwards like someone playing madden for the first time and it worked. what the hell man

WHAT

Well that's not ideal. #bears

Ben Johnson looking perfectly comfortable in a hoodie while Sean McVay looks like a human icicle

This rules. #gobears
