Seattle lit up in blue and green

I am reminded that the Russell Wilson to Broncos trade in 2022 netted the Seahawks: QB Drew Lock*, TE Noah Fant, DE Shelby Harris, & (by draft) OT Charles Cross*, LB Boye Mafe*, CB Devon Witherspoon*, LB Derick Hall* (*on SuperBowl winning team; Drew Lock spent a year at the Jets) Absolute heist.

Most people cannot hope to compete in downhill skiing at the Olympics, let alone do so with one functioning knee. Lindsey Vonn. Absolute legend.

In truth the Rams 🆚 Seahawks was the real SuperBowl

This always ends well 😱

If that was not a Cooper Kupp completion earlier that’s not a touchdown #justsaying

So Kenneth Walker will have a SuperBowl MVP right? He’s basically been the offense 8in a game dominated by two stout defenses?! Making it even less likely that Seahawks can afford to keep him after this year.

People on the fence about having AI listen in on their lives just hit five plus reasons to say “hell no” from Chris Hemsworth! Maybe this was a miss, Alexa?

An AI company that's all about fear of how AI could kill us is... a choice.

Ok now I’m relaxing. I don’t think this Patriots team can score three touchdowns against this Seahawks defense. Right? Right????!!

Milton Williams could have had four sacks by now if it were not for Sam Darnold Houdini act in first half; luck/skill finally runs out there

Patriots now deciding to break the Epstein record solo

Big time shoutout to the NFL tight ends prostrate cancer screening ad! Big time thanks to all who conceived and participated and came up with 7 million smackeroos (?) to air this in the SuperBowl

Not to be a hater, but EVERYTHING we’ve done in the last 365 days, we done with *hundreds of thousands* of dollars less than the salary of the CEO of AAAS. So help us keep it up: www.standupforscience.net/donate

Yes, this IS pure evil.

Perfect

I can’t believe they did not overturn that

The number of punts in this SuperBowl game may soon exceed the number of punts on the release of the full Epstein files

Sam Darnold almost getting dangerously sacked at his own 5 yard line and almost hitting JSN for an incredible touchdown. On the same play! Close but no cigar on both counts.

Not something you see in textbooks very often: tripolar mitosis.

There really is a Simpsons meme for everything (And of course JD sounds like boo; anyone could be forgiven for making this mistake)

Yesterday I posted about my 44 year dream of seeing the albatross colony in Dunedin. My other dream that has been 44 years in the making has been to visit Rakiura, Aotearoa New Zealand’s third island. I flew in this afternoon.

How we’ve missed political leaders with a genuine sense of humor

New episode of the #MattersMicrobial podcast! Episode 123 features Dr. Seema Mattoo, who chats with the #QualityQuorum about how all research roads she took seem to involve Bordetella pertussis. Such a great #MicrobialChat! @unipugetsound @asmicrobiology @microbe.tv youtu.be/QGi1-qlcYUU?...

Every American needs to watch this:

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley. Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo. Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles. Get them out!

I’m not sure we’ve properly addressed how profoundly disturbing it is that America can largely shrug at the stashing of human beings in giant warehouses.

The current ‘plan to restore trust in science’ is like hiring the arsonist to put out the fire they set

www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/... Stafford received 24-of-50 first-place votes while Maye got 23. That’s basically a tie. They should have been declared as co-winners (and I’m currently not a Patriots fan!)

Holy shit: it's an RFP for the NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biology (PRFB). Hello old friend www.nsf.gov/funding/oppo...

Did I get scooped? bsky.app/profile/harm...

I don't often wear political t-shirts, but I'm proudly sporting this one today. I'm an immigrant. I teach American (and international!) college students, research the U.S. economy, consult with policymakers, write books, raise my kids, pay taxes, and try to make this a better place.

Heads are going to explode 💥 Cato Institute just nuked the lie. Immigrants have cut U.S. deficits by $14.5 TRILLION since 1994, slashing the national debt by a third. All that “immigrants are bleeding us dry” noise? Absolute bullshit. 1/3

News from central Jersey: I'm running to represent New Jersey's 12th Congressional District. By entering the fray, I hope to bring ideas of repairing our frayed republic. Not only to defend it in 2026, but to build something stronger, for generations to come! samwang.substack.com/p/entering-t...

Never forget: Pam Bondi and Kash said there was nothing in the Epstein files back in March

A correction for the ages (from The Guardian's review of 'Melania'):

Thousands showed up in Seattle—nurses, doctors, educators—people who heal and protect life. Congress is voting to fund ICE instead of care. The public is choosing dignity and health. Lawmakers should listen. #FundHealthcareOverICE Let’s unite in compassion
