they did what now?

Dawg I cannot get emotionally invested in the motherfucking Chicago Midway Bears

my new “racist drone gun” startup DevilHitler just accepted $150 million from a16z

I have one pizza opinion which stands above all others. A pizza creed, if you will: All pizza is good. Some pizza is great.

It’s Pizza Night In Ravenswooooood

If anyone sees a cabinet that’s 26” tall and less than 10” deep let me know

Is there a single purveyor of furniture out there who lets you filter by a dimensional parameter? I really can’t search your inventory of cabinets or whatever by max height or width?

Watched Muppet Christmas Carol for the millionth time but all I could think about is how the day that it happens will feel like that, like Christmas Day as a changed person with a real future

Christmas ribs!

Joke’s on me: we are watching highlights from the Bears-Packers OT win lol

Alright, here we go...56-yarder...It’s got...No, it does not have the leg Tim Cratchit takes it in the back of the end zone. He’ll run it out to the 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 45 There goes Cratchit! Cratchit is gonna run it all the way back! Auburn's gonna win the football game!

Great day to watch my favorite Christmas movie: Silver Linings Playbook

This is levels of deranged that should get you sent to the special hospital.

Of course Steam is messed up today. It’s Christmas Eve.

#9LC (Radio 4 re-broadcast)

You have five mins to get in front of a radio or a public radio website to listen to the annual Lessons and Carols service from Kings College

9 inches of rain in 18 hours? In Los Angeles?????

In Georgia, the state has made "catastrophic" cuts at DHS, citing an $85 million deficit. A provider described one result: a mom who relapsed last week. "Visits with her child were keeping her sober, but transportation services had been cut." Georgia is sitting on a $14.6 *billion* budget surplus.

Bob and I were among the hundreds of researchers that were supposed to conduct the 6th U.S. National Climate Assessment. Now it looks like they're gonna produce it with a few people and Grok? Communities need rigorous and accurate information about climate change. This will put communities at risk.

I have spent so much of my life writing the reports that show that programs like this are Good and the way that evidence doesn’t matter anymore is just… so dispiriting

This is the good stuff right here.

I hate this man so much

If you think beef prices are high now, wait until this gets to the US

It’s clear at this point that the 2016 World Series victory by the Cubs was unfortunately/apparently the greatest sin against God ever committed by a human society and undoing what it wrought will require a variety of specific Chicago-related outcomes.

Wow!!!!!!!!

LMAO Bears stay the Bears

ND got better and better all season. All four teams we’ve seen got worse. Cool system

Oh no, disaster, what a bad idea

Good thread 👍🏼

Vought is one of the top three or four enemies of the Constitution & American democracy. His removal from power is one of the highest priorities for any project of checking the dictatorship's lawless wielding of the vast powers of the state

I try not to get too angry about stuff that doesn’t involve like, murder, but this is a memorial!!! It’s not named after JFK for the lols!

all the stuff about bathrooms and sports was a pretext and obviously so prospect.org/2025/12/19/t...

Not just any researcher. Rob Lempert!

Space news is the best. Like, what do you mean there's a runaway supermassive black hole 10 million times bigger than the sun moving through space at 2 million miles per hour www.space.com/astronomy/bl...

Seems like a lot of people have lost practice in a) reading anything at all and b) reading criticism in particular

Guess I'll post this again

the key to understanding this is the SV technocapitalists all went insane during COVID

I grew up on the state line (IL side) and all I have to say about this is: Lol.

Here's our reporting on the proposed dismantling of the jewel of US atmospheric science, @ncar-ucar.bsky.social. The plan is to break NCAR apart and disburse some parts to other locations (like the research aircraft fleet) and eliminate others. www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪 #AGU25 #climate

so NSF will not be standing in the breach, then.

every day is another “here’s someone who looks like your grandma. the secret police kidnapped her and she has been in a camp for half a year without proper medical care. we’re begging for anyone with any amount of power to actually say something and try to stop it”

I've tried and failed a couple times to write a post explaining how serious this would be. NCAR is globally essential to our climate change response. This can't just be replaced. Every scientist in the world will be doing climate research with one hand tied behind their back for at least a decade

We have the technologies we need to cut pollution from the industrial sector. In our new report, we take a deep dive into an immediate, practical opportunity: electrifying low- and medium-temperature process heat in manufacturing food, beverage, paper and chemicals. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

@samanthamichaels.bsky.social has been a criminal justice reporter for over a decade. She has lived in an authoritarian country overseas. But she has never seen a police presence like the one in ICE-occupied Memphis. “The people supposedly eliminating crime are making the city unlivable.”

My wintertime MVP so far is the Delonghi oil filled radiator that I bought to supplement our furnace and help deal with cold spots. This thing is great and cuts down how often our furnace runs by a lot.

I’m playing this game too and petting the dogs and cats is my favorite part

Colonial tactics from 200 years ago, and then exported to eg Africa, now brought back home again. Incredible.

This fucking piece of shit. The worst man alive.
