Uh.

The Speaker of the House in Alabama calls on the courts to “overturn the 14th Amendment.” This is the same legislative body, a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps in the Milligan case. x.com/austinpratt_...

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

Things got awesome at the STL Battlehawks game.

We are in the worst possible hands imaginable with RFK Jr. running HHS and the guy who told people to drink bleach during COVID back in the White House.

Kind of surprised that this hasn't been bigger news. It's finals week for a whole lot of universities, and yet, Canvas (a learning/grading platform used by ~9,000 schools globally) is currently inaccessible because of a pay-or-have-your-data-leaked hack. www.insidehighered.com/news/tech-in...

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

The amazing @drjudystone.bsky.social has a piece out on how The Regime is cutting eligibility for student loans for those training in several professions, including nursing, physical therapy, and of course, public health. I guess the U.S. government is all in on the “do your own research” train.

Thirty football players join the suit against Ohio State involving the sexual abuse by Dr. Strauss, and Jim Jordan, former assistant wrestling coach said he knew nothing of the abuse. Hmmm. Methinks Jordan knew.

Ted Lieu: "I have a red line in determining which Democrat I will support for President That person must commit to removing the stain of Trump's name from every single federal building, & kick it off with a grand public ceremony w/ fireworks – you think I'm kidding, i'm not kidding"

This robot installs 80 panels/hour. One every 45 sec. 1,920/day ≈ 0.0008 GW/day per line. Sounds small. It’s not. Scale this across thousands of lines and #solar becomes manufacturing, not construction. 👉 10,000 lines = 8 GW/day. That’s HOW China is winning the energy game.

An analogy. Around 2006, technologies like micro-computers boards, battery tech, motors, cameras, and GPS came together in an unexpected way to some. Archaeologists used kites and balloons for aerial photography...

Excellent. It’s that time of year when faculty start to catch up on all that piled up crap they couldn’t get to because of meetings and silly stuff…remembering that by August we will probably start the year behind as usual.

Chinese researchers have created a bamboo-based plastic as strong as petroleum-based plastics, which can fully biodegrade in soil in just 2 months phys.org/news/2025-10...

Mark Carney seems like a guy who knows what he’s doing. Man. So jealous of Canada.

Almost 100% of new cars sold in Norway last year were electric. Not just because of oil wealth. Because of carbon taxes, EV incentives, and thirty years of consistent policy. New newsletter: Norway: The World's Most Instructive Energy Paradox janrosenow.substack.com/p/norway-the...

Trump’s net worth has nearly tripled in his second term, reaching $6.5 billion. His administration is the most brazenly self-enriching in American history. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

This President is such a G-D idiot & embarrassment to this nation. Can you believe his lack of protocol much less common decency?

Anybody in St. Louis or eastern Missouri recently purchase/install solar panels? References requested.

Biden proposed this idea, and Harris endorsed it, too. Congress would have to pass the law, though, so candidates for Congress should be pushing this as well. Here's more info: END/ abovethelaw.com/2023/07/dont...

“Ireland being one of the lowest ranked countries in the world for intact biodiversity. "Nature has been in decline in Ireland for many decades" is among the opening words of the report.” www.rte.ie/news/environ... @irishrainforest.bsky.social

I will rip that page out of my passport.

Morley Safer or Ed Bradley or Mike Wallace would not have let him off the hook as easily. The moment he got paranoid is when you move in.

I think that academia has not absorbed the fact that AI agents are now good enough to independently reconstruct complex papers without access to code or the papers themselves; just the methods & data. They aren’t perfect but the errors are often in the human paper, not the AI making a mistake.

Sleeves back down.

sleeves up

Jesus H Christ. Sirens, phone, computer…steve templeton says “be prepared not scared…” Come on. Roll your sleeves up steve.

thinking about the gould quote again

St louisans have forgotten how to deal with thunderstorms. It’s bizarre.

"As I heard seasoned journalists, many of them friends, discuss how frightening the shooting was, I couldn't help but reflect on how much worse it is for America's children. "How many still suffer trauma from the moment a shooter crashed into their classroom?" — @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

And they don’t even see the problem that maybe it’s the guns, and maybe they are the most incompetent administration in 250 years.

So. Administration and journalists talk for the last 48 hours about their stress and fear from a gunman. And yet for 27 years teachers have said “we live with this shit every day.” And. Nobody says the obvious. It’s the guns.

We’ve become way too inured to the constant violence because of all of the people in power who revel in it. What a joyless, artless, sexless, rudderless country we became so fast.

No one should be going to the US for football, the Olympics or anything else they don't have to. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Next week: a fascinating talk by Prof. Aidan O'Sullivan & Dr. Brendan O'Neill, who will talk on how people in early medieval Ireland, AD 400-1100, made, used & discarded things. This FREE online event will take place on Mon 27 April at 1930. Make sure to reserve your spot here:

Americans must choose this year what kind of country they want. Do they want to renew the spirit of the Constitution and Founders?—judge Luttig Our 250th anniversary in July. And an election in November.

Bishops doubling down

Bwaaaa haaaa

Theres a lot of ignorance out there about what the pope does. And Catholic Republicans who are ok with going after a pope who is upholding church teaching...man. Thats a bad look.

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

BARTIROMO: Did you see Europe is drafting a plan to open up the Hormuz Strait without the United States? TRUMP: It's so sad. Look at Greenland. We should have Greenland.

I’m jealous.

The senators from Missouri have been awfully quiet lately regarding the postings of the president. I would be very curious to hear their comments.

The DoorDash lady is a Republican grifter who gave testimony at a hearing in Nevada. Republicans must grift, because the grift is all they have

I’m sure they could film it in St. Louis again.

My very Catholic neighbor was out first thing this morning taking down his Trump flag. Do you think they’re showing up for the midterms? I don’t. “We came for the racism, not to have you mock the Pope.” They’re not going to care that you deleted it.

Kids today will simply never understand what Saturday mornings were like.

Someone needs to identify the people on the sides of these photos. Photographer on right, dude on left.
