I’ve seen more episodes of NCIS than Succession and would never admit to it in the group chat

Just like all those New Yorkers fleeing Zohran? 😂

RFK: “Where did all this autism come from? It never existed when I was a kid!” “A Christmas Story”, a 1983 movie based on a 1971 memoir about a childhood in the 1930s: “This is my brother Ralphie. He has a ton of sensory issues and behaviors we don’t understand. Every family has a child like him.”

I’m not crying you’re crying

it is the position of Republicans that Jews have no place in America.

a very happy The Fellowship Sets Forth from Rivendell Day (December 25) to all who celebrate

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have: - no one to see on Christmas Day, - no presents, or - no contactable relatives. Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

Best explanation of the liar's dividend that I've ever seen.

We, as a nation, have invested more and cared more about women's soccer than any nation on the planet, but our soccer inferiority complex is so strong we've just unabashedly cowered in front of Europe the second they decided they'd pay attention.

To be fair, like 70% of our field could be summed up as "studies in how negative polarization makes you stupid and annoying".

this image is maybe the single greatest joke in TRADING PLACES. and also a pretty apt description of the trump/vance/national conservative vision of america

"this could have been slop, but it's not" is rapidly becoming a surefire signifier of premium-ness

This is critically important. Democrats need to pass it if they retake Congress. Trump will veto it. So pass it again. Campaign on it. Given current polling, corruption of the FBI, and the brutality of ICE and BP, there’s no better time to say, “Federal police are not above the law.”

This education polarization is essentially nil. That’s the most notable thing here for me.

But yes the short version is this is a right wing signifier implemented by corporate czars who sit on public university boards for LinkedIN clout making an administratively clunky decree by political fiat. they feel immune from public pressure because we don’t know how to apply any.

RFK Jr. should have paid more attention to the comics in 1968.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Five years ago today, Trump summoned a mob to Washington, DC for a “protest” on Jan. 6, 2021, tweeting: “Be there, will be wild!” Rightwing extremists began planning for violence almost immediately. www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/...

I want to raise a few issues with this ... - The unemployment rate was 4.6% in Nov 2025. - There are 982,000 more unemployed people in Nov 2025 than in Jan 2025. - There are 271,000 fewer federal government employees. - 982,000 > 271,000. More than 3 times more unemployed.

99-0. Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & yet, here we are.

This is so so so stupid

calling for the ban all travel from Europe because of a single murderous Voyager who crossed the Atlantic from Portugal is poetry

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

This is not just "NCAR boosterism," folks. There are multiple empirical measures by which this is correct--and also, if you took a random sampling of atmospheric & Earth scientists from around the world, I'd bet that a substantial majority of them would agree. NCAR is truly irreplaceable.

this is the most "Get a Job, Stay Away From Her" I've ever felt

Done with work until 2026! 😇

So, not a bonus. Robbing Peter to pay Paul, who are in this case the same person

FIFA won’t get a fucking dime from me.

DO IT MOREOVER, ICE MUST BE DESTROYED

Search your camera roll for “Hell”

Simpler times

The Vanity Fair photographer knew what he was doing. (I doubt I’m the first to notice this but it hasn’t graced my TL)

obviously not the most critical issue here but NCAR might also be I M Pei's best bldg

this televised address to the nation could’ve been a truth social post

The bsky timeline is really the only way to safely consume Trump speeches without risking my blood pressure so tysm everyone 🫡

It’s fucken WIMDY

Peyton has overcome so much to be a regular presence at multiple NWSL venues on the east coast. Without a service dog, she won't be able to continue that work. The cost of finding and training a service dog is very high, so if you can help at all, you'd be helping one of the good ones in woso.

Psst: Notice where this wind/weather data is coming from. It's coming from NCAR. One tiny blip of the kajillion things NCAR does to improve/advance weather forecasting. #COwx

Cries in Colorado Taxpayer Bill of Rights

it's so cool that he was able to run for president again and people elected him. just awesome stuff.

RIP Texacadia

Draft tomorrow, read today. If you don’t have a first round pick because you traded it for a video analyst, it’s probably still useful for you.

The Bundy occupation at Malheur in early 2016 (and the lack of consequences they faced for it) was a sign of what was to come. Right wing white anti-government vigilantes cast as “patriots.”

Before the 1990s, plane crashes caused by microbursts used to kill planeloads of people fairly regularly. Dr. Ted Fujita and NCAR scientists figured out how to detect microbursts and warn pilots about them. Since then? Zero airliner crashes from microbursts.

Wait what
