@fredarmisen Fred Armisen I just learned about someone who lives in Portland and specializes in doing talk therapy with coma patients I know you'll know what to do.

@hollyanderson.bsky.social I'll see your soothing clay teapot pottery and raise you hypnotic cobbling youtu.be/NBNLxJM3fNo?...

@edsbs.bsky.social if there's one thing john heisman would've done if he could've, it's truck cumberland twice. double dip for georgia tech. go birds.

to everyone who googled what tariffs are after they cast their vote in november, you did it! you made egg prices the least of our economic concerns! teamwork makes the dream work.

“Why don’t they play popular music at the Super Bowl anymore.” — Man who thinks 1996 was 10 years ago.

philadelphia: where the city building codes have a minimum number of people that the roof of a bus shelter has to support, for public safety reason.

Here's Kendrick Lamar's full Super Bowl performance. youtu.be/KDorKy-13ak?...

that's right

somehow patrick mahomes remembering he can play like patrick mahomes after spending several hours as the one legged man at an ass-kicking party is even funnier than if he'd just kept sucking shit the whole way through and blamed it on bad beignets or something.

Jeep coming in to have Harrison Ford doing a greatest generation ass freedom ad for electric cars... man. Woke winning the war

you have to recognize that a lot of the bone-deep panic among conservatives these last couple decades is based on them slowly losing the culture war

that photograph of a corn dog andy reid kept in his office that kept aging and aging every time kc won a coin toss game this year is suddenly looking fresh from the fryer again

the super bowl is greatly improved by watching the telemundo broadcast

Super Bowl USAID Save Foreign Aid

Folks trying to save USAID are trying to counterprogram Musk's $40 million Super Bowl ad. They're asking everyone to share this video as widely as you can today: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqUE...

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.

I wonder how Sean O'Brien is gonna feel when price spikes torpedo shipping demand.

I'm sitting here, thinking about this weird onion from the mountains of Iran, wondering what we can learn from Vavilov and his team. In another era of anti-science, what's our take away? One thing seems to be: believe in a better future, plan for it, & fight to make it happen, at any cost.

His pseudoscience said if you expose a plant to new conditions, it's progeny will be adapted to this change. Winter wheat became spring wheat, just as a peasant farmer became a collectivized comrade. You just needed exposure to change Under Lysenkoism, famines killed ~25-75 mil in USSR & Mao China

Horrifically, while Vavilov's research is revered today, things... didn't go great with Stalin Stalin's agronomist, Trofim Lysenko, declared Mendelian genetics "bourgeois" lies. Geneticists were fired, arrested, tortured, jailed. Most were outright shot, or, like Vavilov, died hungry & sick in jail

He travelled the globe, hunting down wild relatives of our food crops, partially to build stronger crops & to understand the history of domestication & the movement of people Plz get lost in the coolest wiki page, history/places of domestication mostly built by him en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vavilov...

The world has been through anti-science cycles before, to disastrous results On a detour on my lit review, a mosey through the history of our familiar friend, the standard onion (Allium cepa) brought me right to one of botany's greatest cautionary tales of what happens when ideology overrides data

a coworker asked me why i am so incandescently mad about the transgender military ban, and i said kevin it’s a fair question. i’m a veteran. you’re not. and that’s fine. it’s not a big deal. i’m not checking you. i am saying if a person wants to serve we say thank you for your service.

I just realized I've replied to @samd.bsky.social like four times in a row and I swear to God I'm not stalking his fine YIMBY Jeopardy ass.

i can wreck up a whole shop of Faberge eggs in like thirty seconds if you give me a hammer but i'm not sure i could make another one given the rest of my life

Gonna be a night of blocking anyone and everyone who doesn't understand they don't want their skeets read out loud in court, eh?

Getting mad at Ben Wikler, the most successful Democratic state party organizer this side of Stacey Abrams, who took a proto-fascist takeover of a purple state back from the brink, for posting about his enthusiasm at the DNC winter meeting, is insane levels of Poafter'f Madneff.

➡️ January 20: FAA director fired ➡️ January 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen ➡️ January 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded ➡️ January 28: Buyout/retirement demand sent to existing employees ➡️ January 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years Making America Great Again!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Xi Jinping is deathly afraid of economic decline leading to protests. the entire modern model of the CCP’s authoritarianism rests on a foundation of broad economic growth

Critics of Colorado's embattled GOP chairman were muted on a Zoom call for party insiders, before the chaotic meeting adjured without votes on consolidating the chairman's power. #copolitics www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AR7...

I am not gonna lie, I'm a little thankful this horrific outcome is going to hit absolutely everybody in a way that is impossible to ignore no matter how much time you spend browsing instagram get rich quick schemes.

ngl we built a system so robust and consistent and good that people could just sorta stop caring about how anything worked and then a huge number of those people said "hold my beer" in november and are about to discover what a bounty of riches they failed to maintain.

Nothing to see here, folks. Just would-be dictator Trump giving $800,000 to his handpicked FBI chief who has vowed to use federal power to punish Trump's enemies.

Call me crazy, but the guy who led the effort to claw back a recognizable democracy from the clutches of a proto-MAGA conservative movement that went beyond the pale to enshrine minority rule for a generation seems like a pretty good choice to lead the national party

Well, I guess they're gonna try to boil the frog quickly

There was a genuine moment when the Army Corps almost released enough water to potentially breach levees and cause a new flood, but apparently the adults in the room managed to stop it. What the fuck.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

chuck todd is perhaps best known for tweeting, then quickly deleting, "Public hj" way back on the old site. i wanna say 2010 or 2011 maybe

i would like to know how this doesn't end with somebody being dragged out of a building and beaten to death by a large angry mob

After initially encouraging FAA officials to resign, even after the crash, OPM now saying that they are not eligible for the offer. Gives you a sense of how serious these offers are. TChanged on a whim, whenever Trump discovers that federal employees do real work. wtop.com/national/202...

Democratic lawmakers need to understand something: Imagine your house is on fire. Fire truck shows up. Firefighters get out. They look at the fire, then at you, and say: "Such a fire is a grave threat. This house will not sustain." And just stand there. This is how many of you are coming across.
