Note: NCAR/UCAR websites will be offline most of the day today due to unrelated power issues.

Well there's the "Shock" part of the 2003 Iraq "Shock and Awe". Also I have MAJOR fucking questions about what the hell the President means by the "Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us" when that's been sovereign Venezuelan territory that the US has **never** had claim to.

BREAKING: Skate Canada is boycotting Alberta over the province's ban on Trans women competing in women's sports. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

Best I can tell, Dear Leader is mad at Colorado because Polis won’t transfer one of his merry Real Patriot Insurrectionists to be pardoned, so he ordered FashOVought to pwn Colorado and Vought picked one of his longstanding pwn the climate shitlibs pet projects.

Also, fund basic science.

The way to restart the idea machine is PAY CREATIVES FOR THEIR WORK

Breaking News: The actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, have died. The police are investigating what they called an apparent homicide at their home. Follow live updates.

Tonight in The December Comfort Watches: Twister, a delightfully undemanding-on-the-brain action film weirdly packed with award-winning actors that had the good luck to be in the right place at the right time with the right visual and sound effects: whatever.scalzi.com/2025/12/14/t...

The 10-Job Scandal That Exposed Everything open.substack.com/pub/maxmurph... "When the rich stack income streams, they get called brilliant. When the peasants do it, we get publicly shamed and blacklisted."

I work at WashU. I have never, not once, heard any student, faculty member, or administrative staff say *a single* good thing about Workday. It has made my job harder, and previously simple tasks substantially more complicated. All for $266 million, and counting.

Everything is really shitty. But what if we could make it even shittier?

Don’t have an affair, and if you do, don’t have an affair with staff against employer policy, and if you do, don’t be indiscreet, and if you do, don’t fire her when it looks like you’ve been caught, and if you do, don’t [checks notes] Jesus Christ Sherrone Moore this is going to take FOREVER 1/32

Also, of course, the State Department changing typefaces for reasons that boil down to "fuck accessibility" is both utterly in line with the overt bigotry of this administration and a signal indicator of how unserious these people are, it doesn't matter what typeface you use when you're a joke

Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the nominal progressives get out of here with your ignorant Tipper Gore bullshit challenge

The irony would be funny if it wasn't outlandishly harmful. The regents say they want 'stakeholders' to be treated as 'partners' — but what they really mean is they consider *regents* the primary stakeholder whose opinions matter. After all, aren't faculty and staff major stakeholders here?

"AI should be in your battle rhythm every day" is such a vacuous statement.

What if they constantly want culture war because policy war is complicated and hard and culture war is stupid and easy

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

JUST IN: Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Snell just confirmed, at the prodding of U.S. Magistrate Judge Keri Holleb Hotaling, that this motion for dismissal followed a "no bill" from a grand jury. That means the grand jury refused to indict.

SCOOP — Gregg Phillips, a conspiracy theorist with no emergency management experience who helped produce the election-denying documentary ‘2000 Mules’ with Dinesh D’Souza and has faced numerous legal inquiries, has been named head of FEMA’s Office of Response and Recovery. My story:

the law is real until it gets to SCOTUS at which point it becomes fake, which doesn't bother the six reactionaries at the top but does undermine literally everyone else in the profession

Every legal story now is either Ancient Circuit Judge Delivers Crystal Clear 100 Page Rebuke To Trumpist Overreach or In Unsigned Shadow Docket Decision, 6-3 Majority Declares Trump Can Hunt People For Sport

And all the ingenuity of several lactation consultants, hours and hours of pumping, endless amounts of support, and every advantage in the world didn’t make me able to produce enough milk to feed my baby. Who is doing splendidly on formula, thanks so much, asshole

NEW: Judge Boasberg has escalated his contempt proceedings over the violation of his order to halt Alien Enemies Act deportations. He is demanding testimony from two key witnesses: former DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni and current DOJ attorney Drew Ensign. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Alina Habba is out as fake US Attorney.

Putting money in Rowling's pocket is also why we ignore press releases from comics events that include Potter programming. It's funding her hate. I'd implore every creator/publisher/potential guest to consider this when approached by those cons. - Andy www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very shitty people who become opposed to other very shitty people are still very shitty people

We’re still on 5-7 watch to get Georgia Southern an opponent for the Birmingham Bowl.

They get off to violating the consent of others. Not more complicated than that.

Many waited at the airport to catch a glimpse of Matt Campbell. Fans also cheered for AD Pat Kraft. How did Penn State finally get here? Emptying the notebook on an interesting (to say the least!) 54-day coaching search

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.

She's not even a sports medicine doctor, she graduated from the Medical College of Wisconsin (NOT the University of Wisconsin College of Medicine) but dropped out before doing her residency & then got a Ph.D, not an M.D., from the University of Copenhagen.

We are being robbed of greatness.

He says the men they murdered are on a list. Let’s see the list. Let’s hear their names. Show us the evidence. If you have any. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Every second of Stephen Miller's life should be filled with him getting relentlessly booed/heckled/etc. I just want him to have zero calm moments ever again for the rest of his life.

it's exactly like the Nobel, I hear, even bigger. some say the noble is stupid. thank you for your attention to this matter.

FIFA, the world’s most corrupt organization, handing the world’s most corrupt manbaby and notorious alpha male a participation trophy is a little too on the nose.

Interim head coach Terry Smith is expected to stay at Penn State, a source confirmed to Inside The Lions. Full coverage of the hiring of Matt Campbell

this shit is just beyond parody, man

Next week the Supreme Court will hear another engineered case with fake plaintiffs, which presents another opportunity for the GOP justices to blow a hole through what remains of our campaign finance laws—this time, by turning political parties into a conduit for bribes. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Gonna be hilarious if as @patterico.Bsky.social suggests Trump's corrupt 1/6 pardon protects the pipe bomber

It means not white, as spoken who are fundamentally too cowardly to just say that

"The Donald Trump administration has changed which holidays qualify for free entrance to national parks, removing two holidays celebrating Black people and adding the president’s birthday."

It’s all transparently bullshit and immune to rationality, but if struggling to stabilize half a burning boat to avoid drowning is “getting back in the fight,” what they’re really saying is there’s nothing the survivors could have done to avoid being killed. And that definitely isn’t the law.
