Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades? Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

Seeing the aurora from the office wasn't on my to-do list for tonight. Absolutely wild that it was viewable all the way down in Mobile. 🤩

Still dubious there is any message that would do the trick but this is a definite contender and certainly vastly better than saying “you don’t understand how the Senate works”

Trump is saying he can hand out $2000 per person from tariff revenues (approx $680 billion) but there’s no money to pay anyone back if SCOTUS rules they were an illegal tax. 🤔

If you enjoyed November 10th’s banger of a folk song released in 1976 about the tragic loss of life in an historical event, may I interest you in one that fits the above description for November 11th? youtu.be/M-38PB_5ozc?...

blinkist. BLINKIST. He isn't reading shit.

"JPMorgan on Monday said building AI infrastructure will cost more than $5tn" Crazy idea: Why not, rather than spending $5 TRILLION dollars to pay for data centers to create fake brains, just pay actual human beings with real brains that same $5 trillion?

every single week they're throwing this guy a special oval office love-in that appears to be the presidential equivalent of letting your dog scarf an entire big mac and fries before that last trip to the vet

I'll take "Things that a fairly dull-witted left-wing revolutionary might advocate in order to destroy private insurance markets and heighten the contradictions leading to a national public health service" for $500, Alex. bsky.app/profile/atru...

the president of the united states, for some reason apparently:

It’s not just major procedures. A routine visit to the cardiologist is usually like provider bills $8000, health insurance plan pays $400, you pay a $30 copay. It’s all theater.

The bumper stickers should have to specify when they thought Elon went crazy. We need an exact date-slash-inciting incident

ahem

...prominent Democrats really are just motherfucking the eight that caved.

Remember when people took this guy seriously?

Trumpism is a deformation. www.axios.com/local/washin...

Ms Rachel says The New York Times asked her if she’s funded by Hamas

All quiet on Lake Superior this November 10th. You could sail a iron ore freighter from Duluth to Sault Ste. Marie no problem.

if the Democrats are willing to accept this deal, in particular, i don't think a single Senator should make it through their primary. this just makes health inequity worse and lets Trump send out checks with his name on them!

Grandmother was born in Queens in 1915. For the first 10 years of her life, there were 7 people living in a 2 BR apartment that had no electricity and indoor plumbing. And they were decently well-off by the standards of the neighborhood!

you have to understand maga's obsession with weirdo fucking plastic surgery as basically the same things as gang members getting face tattoos bsky.app/profile/sjsh...

It's impossible to build any more housing in America, but luckily we have the politically easy and physically effortless alternative of just removing a third of the population. This clown is the GOP chair in Tarrant County, Texas, the third largest county in the state.

no amount of state propaganda will ever convince me this man is my enemy

“The Fox News guy texted the Road Rules guy to talk about half-baked solutions for keeping all our planes from crashing” is a cool sentence to have to say in 2025

lol she got his ass and he knows it

Every Sharp-shinned Hawk I've ever seen looked like it was worried it left the stove on. 🎨🪶 #BirdArt #SciArt

Whatever you do, do NOT mention the margins in state elections in VA and NJ.

Donald Trump has asked his employees on the Supreme Court to overrule lower court orders demanding that he fulfill his duties to feed Americans who are due SNAP benefits AND He's demanding that states which just rushed to fill the vacuum created by his cruelty "undo" that work.

I didn't think I could find the Trump Administration more loathsome, but I'll admit here, I was wrong.

People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.

The Anders Lee humiliation goal AFTER the empty net goal when the Rangers had put Shesterkin back in was a nice touch.

Instead of sending hundreds of billions of dollars to the military, we will send it directly TO THE PEOPLE, SO THEY CAN PURCHASE THEIR OWN, MUCH BETTER MILITARY, including aircraft carriers with good STEAM CATAPULTS instead of USELESS MAGNET CATAPULTS THAT DON'T WORK AND DRIVE THE WHALES CRAZY!!!!

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Federal agents forbidding faith leaders from praying sounds like a violation of religious freedom. But then I remember that “religious” means “white Christian identity politics,” and “freedom” means “Christian nationalists’ unrestricted ability to impose their beliefs on others.”

Alternate Headline: “Trump admits to doing coke with the Mets in the 80’s”

I don’t need to because my 7 year old daughter did a whole science project on Franklin that she presented at Stony Brook University earlier this year. I was such a proud dad that day. ☺️

Creeping ever closer to the day this photo is 50 years old

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation. To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

If the GOP takes this deal that means they caved and we won, genuinely.

Enjoying the anti-Mormon conspiracy here in addition to the usual antisemitism. Very Know Nothing Party. I wonder what this person thinks of Papists.

See, my strategy for making friends with my kids classmates parents includes coaching tee ball and, uh, not being a colossal asshole about their kids. Has Bethy here considered that?

The donations I’ve made over the years (always earmarked for undergrad scholarships) probably aren’t remotely enough to get the administration here to care what I think, but I think I’m going to make a phone call regardless.

How does the next administration punish these institutions, which we collectively want to support, even if they have major problems, by targeting the leaders of them who caved, many of whom are on the endowment side? asking honestly. Seems like the next President should defer to local staff unions?

WTF is this ad from Meta? “Yes, you too can own a Bentley that went through an EF-4 tornado!”

Tesla had one product, TSLA call options for Musk, and everything they do needs to be considered in this light.

Literally the one place in the country where Democrats got their clock cleaned was in the home county of state chair who refused to endorse Mamdani and has generally overseen a string very poor democratic performances.
