Dads can do their nightly pushups while watching TikTok. As a treat.

Labor force growth could be near-zero starting this year…unprecedented in recent US history…making negative job growth almost as likely as positive job growth + any growth in potential GDP will need to come entirely from productivity growth…a significant shift www.federalreserve.gov/econres/note...

Damn that's crazy. Maybe if he wanted to show that white dudes had a monopoly on winning wars, he could demonstrate it first by stopping Iran from setting up a toll booth in the Strait of Hormuz.

Benin is one of the places where Chinese solar is absolutely exploding (not literally, of course—only fossil energy does that). A huge reason for this are the rapid price declines: in Agbon a 180 watt panel cost the equivalent of $75 three years ago but now costs only about $45

luv 2 freeze my entire PC for minutes at a time by simply clicking the date on the taskbar, an extremely weird Windows quirk if there ever was one.

Simple, you just establish a fixed point to anchor your directional axes such as “the enemy’s gate”

wow, looks like a rough patch for stocks AND bondis

I do think it is noteworthy that the first two cabinet-level firings were both 1) women 2) doing everything possible to do what he wanted. I mean, Trump’s a misogynist, news at 11, but still.

Genuinely one of the best parts of my job is that I get to wander around the Terminal. For instance I was testing out the mapping function and in the process learned that the Waffle House location with the highest revenue in the country is the one near Arizona State's campus

“if you didn’t give enough of a shit to write it why would I give enough of a shit to read it” is a pretty reasonable argument. “If you didn’t give enough of a shit to code it why would I give enough of a shit to use it” is completely incoherent

Two books I'd recommend pre-ordering this morning. @bhgreeley.bsky.social has written a history of the dollar (pub in May). And @robinwigglesworth.ft.com just announced a history of bonds (pub in Sept). Links: www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/634502... www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/750210...

at first it seemed like he was saying that he had been looking into Ali -- treated very unfairly by the Umayyads, stolen succession -- and the Twelve Imams, but then he went off on a tangent where he said that the Nur Mohammadi doesn't only pass through the Ahl al-Bayt? and he might be the Mahdi?

Okay Dads (spiritually, of course) of Bsky: my sprinkler system was winterized last year, but won’t restart. The main shutoff valves are open but not providing any water. Any ideas on where another valve controlling that water could be or what it would look like? Can’t find anything in crawl space.

Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew— And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Hov'ring there, I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air ....

Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds,—and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of—wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence.
