My new pellot smoker tubes seem to be working out quite well for a cold smoke!

Chef John’s candied salmon cream cheese dip, ready for the game! Let’s go SeaHawks! #DoctorsWhoCook

The Super Bowl spread! #DoctorsWhoCook

The best part of this game is my Japanese fried chicken

Have a successful day, guys🫡

This is absolutely insane. The sort of Kafka-esque nightmare you would find in a Philip K Dick book set far in the dystopian future. A window on America tumbling into autocracy. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

Austria having a little fun at the Olympics

Super Sunday I'm busting at the seams with sciencey Football posts. Half will spill out over the next five hours. The other half during the @SuperBowl itself. Just a head's up.

Ossoff: "You're seeing what I'm seeing, right? The president posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

Three more #kakapo nests found on Pukenui/Anchor Island yesterday. Here's Konini with her two eggs. We have found nests for 26 out of the 36 adult females on the island, with more to come in the next few days. It's a big year! #conservation #kakapo2026 A

A #kakapo "bowl" on Pukenui/Anchor Island. Males dig these shallow holes at high points, with several clustered together in a "lek", and boom at night to attract females. Kākāpō are the only lek-breeding parrot. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Female #kakapo Kohengi on her three eggs on Pukenui/Anchor Island today. We don't yet know if they're fertile, but will investigate soon. So far fertility on Anchor is very high: only 8 infertile out of 33 checked. We expect many more infertile eggs though. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Female #kakapo Phoenix on her nest yesterday, with three eggs. We suspect they're infertile, but it's hard to tell yet as they're either very dirty or young. She's one of at least 24 female kākāpō on nests on Anchor Island, with 3 more nests found today! #kakapo2026 #conservation #parrots

We found a 4th egg in #kakapo Waikawa's nest yesterday and found it was fertile. Waikawa has maintained her incredible 100% fertility record: 5 clutches of 4 fertile eggs in 4 breeding seasons. That's unmatched by any other kākāpō. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

We checked on #kakapo Flossie on her nest on Pukenui/Anchor yesterday, and found her on 3 eggs. We'll return later to determine if they're fertile. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Occupational hazard of #kakapo fieldwork: try not to get knocked off the rocks by fur seals during boat drop offs! #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Our #kakapo monitoring system reported a mortality signal for male Tiwai two days ago - triggered by the transmitter not moving for 24 hours. I followed up and was relieved to find a dropped transmitter next to his bowl, rather than a dead bird. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Pukenui/Anchor Island looking moody recently. Male #kakapo boom to display to females from most of the high points in this picture, including the "track and bowl system" in the foreground. #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds

Canada needs to closely cooperate with Ukraine and have them teach us and help us build our drone doctrine. Drones are the Revolution in Military Affairs we thought computers were in the '90s. Canada's geopolitical situation has parallels with Ukraine. We need to lear from them while we help them.

Cute how MAGA is so pissed that a champion skier they never even knew existed until this week said "We need to love, show compassion and respect" for others and POTUS calls him a loser as MAGA screams for him being removed from the Olympics. That's insane, but pure USA 2026 math. Sieg heil.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

OTD in 2022 I gave Emmanuel Macron my personal assurances that I would not invade Ukraine. So you can trust any promise we make now.

The US should lose its seat at the negotiating table. Europe is funding the resistance while Trump cuts aid and parrots Kremlin talking points. He is clearly failing to reach peace because he is betting on Ukraine's collapse. Trump out!

Best scientific advice I’ve seen thus far!

Russia’s full-scale invasion began 4 years ago. It began in winter, and so this winter is the 5th. And, for civilians, the worst. Russia launches missiles and drones at energy infrastructure to force Ukrainians to endure the freezing cold. Here's how you can help snyder.substack.com/p/the-long-u...

“the U.S. military is indirectly arming civilians with some of the most powerful and destructive ammunition currently available” Nobody needs .50-cal. weapons. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

We are directly arming the people killing Americans with drugs, and destabilizing an important neighbor. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/u...

BREAKING: As the Super Bowl gets ready to kick off, this video was projected onto a building on the Las Vegas Strip! The massive “Pedo Bowl” projection is great — except Trump actually appeared in the Epstein files more than 38,000 times!!! 🎥 Credit: @vjaybomb.bsky.social #SuperBowl
