Timeline cleanse: Antarctic sun dogs/halo version. January 2024, RAICA ice core project at Canisteo Peninsula, West Antarctica supported by Korea Polar Research Institute and US National Science Foundation. 🌞 ❄️

I had fun reading to some Burke Elementary students at the Chicago Public Library today. When the Obama Presidential Center opens next year, we’ll have a new branch of the library for the community to enjoy.

If someone crafts a novel legal history that defies the overwhelming body of evidence, I am not obligated to engage it on equal terms with expertise and longstanding consensus. Some law profs may think every idea is valid, but my scholarly mission is the search for truth, not interesting arguments.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

Greetings from Kyiv, where I’m having a warcoffee and writing a Pre-Christmas letter to my supporters – those who support my work on Patreon. It’s cold here. Still no snow, and electricity remains limited.

Good morning! 🌞☕️ Can you find my cat in the photo below? 😺

Sentimental Value is the best film I’ve seen this year but I haven’t seen One Battle After another yet. Hamnet is also very good, and Brendan Fraser is great in Rental Family. Seeing Marty Supreme tonight.

Tarantino’s big mistake is that anyone who watches enough movies to have an opinion on Paul Dano loves the kind of movies Paul Dano acts in

TAYLOR ON COLBERT THIS WEEK I REPEAT TAYLOR ON COLBERT SHOW THIS WEEK

Home game! NFL Live from LA 🌞 3-5 ET on ESPN

A massive sunstorm (G3 - G4) is underway. ts2.tech/en/strong-g3...

X has less than 90 days to fix its ads repository to comply with DSA. Failure to do so will result in serious penalties. The tool itself has been completely broken and vulnerable for at least a month now. X engineers are spending more time tweeting damage control than fixing it.

A Christmas tree at the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (Monastery of the Caves), founded in 1051.

There’s no other way to spin it. The strikes are murder. They’re illegal. And they put our troops at greater risk.

WOW! THANK YOU!! — GCN

The fact that Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are going to know who Ian Terry and Rob Cesternino are is wild to me LOL

The evidence is the text. All you have to do is read the Constitution.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

December farmers market haul. I love living in California. ❤️

My new podcast "Burn Order" is about the decision to incarcerate tens of thousands of Japanese-American families during World War II, and the remarkable fight against it. 6 episodes in total -- Eps. 1 and 2 are posted now. 3 and 4 will post tomorrow, December 8: podcasts.apple.com/me/podcast/r...

In the center stands Berehynia – the same figure that crowns the Independence Monument in Kyiv. In my latest Sunday Letter (free to read), I shared what she represents, the sculptor behind her, and more remarkable Ukrainian sculptures – especially War www.patreon.com/posts/sunday...

Headed to the University of Chicago as a Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience in July 2026!

just to give yall an idea of what we’re walking through

Ejections from the Sun could cause the northern lights to be visible further south this week.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Bengals/Bills Seahawks/Falcons Two games im watching today

Hey everyone, @kaylan_ had a major seizure and is recovering in the hospital. She will be back on here soon. Keep her in your thoughts and good vibes 🫶🏽

Greetings from Kyiv, where this flask of warcoffee means no electricity at home and strength that refuses to fade. Have a good Sunday!

So many new followers; thought I'd say hi and answer questions 👋🏼 I'm Jessý, scientist & founder of Sidequest: Iceland (launching soon!) We do travel for nerds (yes, nerds.) We have tours w/ scientist guides. The biggest #northernlights question we get: why are there so many big auroras right now?

The Wall of Light The Flat Earthers are wrong. At the Edge of the World, there's no sudden drop, or barrier of Ice. There's the Wall. Pulsating, Twisting. Blinding. Heaven help the Mortal who dares approach, for there is no return. #Twizel, #NZ #Aurora #FlatEarth #EastCoastKin #Scape #TheEdge

Friends, vikings, countrymen: lend me your eyes. May I present what just happened an hour ago in Iceland? It was an early, short substorm, but it was a good one. Literal space weather! #northernlights #aurora

One of the reasons I think it’s also essential to not call the boat strikes “war crimes” but “crimes against humanity,” is that it emphasizes that Trump and Hegseth are acting extra-constitutionally and are not entitled to any shield from the courts. This systematic murder of civilians is illegal.

We’re knocking every door in Andersonville and need your help! Join me and @demiforillinois.bsky.social for our Weekend of Action this Saturday and Sunday:

The @baseballhall.org just announced that I'm one of the 16 members of the Contemporary Era Committee that will meet Sunday to elect the newest Hall of Famer(s). I'm honored to serve. But it means I won't be writing a column Sunday to analyze the vote. Here's why. www.nytimes.com/athletic/685...

Greetings from Kyiv! On this last day of November, I want to thank everyone who supported my work this month – who stayed, who joined, who upgraded, who didn’t step away. Thank you. As always, here’s a short video to capture this month’s mood.

Both @benjaminsolak.bsky.social and I think Philadelphia *should* be able to run the ball on a bad Bears run defense…. Full preview 👇 📺: youtu.be/Ngxszim6vt4?...

He had brain damage and was told he had to be put to sleep. Today I took Stormzy to run on the beach. I promise this will set you up for the weekend ❤️

Greetings from Kyiv, where the night was calm. I’m having a warcoffee after the workout. Today I asked where the cups with flowers are (maybe you remember them). ‘Oh, the production was damaged during one of the attacks,’ they said.

You won’t believe the end.. Listen, I grew up in east Oakland. It’s not for beginners..

Good morning from @altyellonatpark.org

Back to the grind today… sort of. Short week this week, yay! We had a beautiful sunrise this morning too ❤️ #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

I have no idea why media continues to hype this person as a serious political commentator, but to go even further and float him as a viable presidential candidate is just farcical.

Kyiv today. The harder the attack, the more determined I am to look for something good. Christmas magic in the windows of a central department store – installations inspired by the works of Grasya Oliyko, a Ukrainian illustrator.

Officially moving to Chicago tomorrow. I assume JB Pritzker will be waiting for me at the airport

What time do you get in?

If you ever decide to cancel your support on Patreon, please don’t do it in the morning, right after another attack on Kyiv. Do it later in the day. Or the next one. Just check the news before you click cancel. Somehow, it hurts a lot. Thank you.

Decided to have a movie night, was originally going to show the children Inception but stumbled across Edge of Tomorrow and was like “oh yeah, you need to watch this one, we’ll watch Inception tomorrow” (afterwards my older one started cracking up when I told them the original title)
