so, he should still be removed from office as soon as humanly possible

Just geeked a little because Moon Day was a Monday.

the Artemis crew were checking in on Jonathan on St Helena

NEW: “While the PSU board & administrators point to a "structural deficit," these cuts are not a financial necessity; they are a political choice that prioritizes administrative bloat & capital projects over the livelihoods of dedicated public servants.” — Todd Wolfson & Randi Weingarten @aft.org

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

Does anyone else's kid threaten them with intentionally *not* doing their Duolingo at the end of the day?

Jonathan the 193 year old tortoise. who did NOT die.

please enjoy these classic Moon Tweets™

FYI to any Pet Shop Boys fans in the state

When Democrats retake the majority, there will be a lot of priorities. As long as I'm in the Senate, one of those priorities will be consequences and accountability for any member of this administration that commits war crimes.

I mean, say what you want about the errors of the Gallipoli campaign, Dude--at *least* it wasn't a land war in Asia.

Be sure to see the post to which this skeet is replying.

This kind of glaring violation of the foundational assumption that firms (and their owners) seek to maximize profit is cause for the discipline of economics to reflect on how we approach our models and pedagogy at the intro level and beyond.

for a moment I thought this bathroom was explicitly transphobic

tired of all the winning whomst among us

What's the opposite of malicious compliance?

among *many* delightful moments, the second season of Deadloch includes a short adaptation of my all-time favorite book by Dr. Seuss

I Had Trouble in Getting to Solla Sollew (2026)

The "we make a lot of money" comment on rising oil prices should be a foundational talking point in passing a windfall tax on increased profits.

While watching s2e2 of Deadloch I started to wonder if Dale Bozzio were from northern Australia. youtu.be/520Vs-HN7gI

"I can see no reason why this war must go on." --Hitler (July 19, 1940)

Does the San Francisco Chronicle have an article about whether the idea for Nosferatu (2024) may have been stolen from Quentin Tarantino?

Truly baffled sometimes by the contrast between a) the sheer amount of unnecessary work academics must do to simply tread water and keep their jobs, and b) somehow, the way that this same system manages to shelter the most truly useless deadwood and/or toxic abusers.

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

It took me a while to stop laughing, but the confusion is fair. It really *does* sound like a targeted assassination of one particular guy.

me: Iran lobbed missiles at Diego Garcia, really far away in the Indian Ocean. Kid 1: WHO?

The KC Star covered this only in their Opinion section (thanks @joelmathis.bsky.social). Maybe it’s not important—a vote like this has no legal effect. But, you know, the Chancellor gave $20mm from the general fund to pay NIL, when staff are on poverty wages & faculty are taking out the trash.

...but what are the FJORDS pining for?

The high in Fairbanks, AK, was 107F colder than the high in Phoenix, AZ, was today (-5F vs 102F). @alaskawx.bsky.social

Come for the article (which is very good), stay for the author photo

I have a joke about economics that explores for the first time to our knowledge why the chicken crossed the road

100 years ago today, Robert Goddard launched his first liquid-fueled rocket (nicknamed "Nell") from a snowy field outside Worcester, Massachusetts, and changed the history of exploration. Esther Kisk Goddard, Robert's wife, documented the historic event. 🧪🔭 www.collectspace.com/news/news-03...

Happy Ides of March Eve to all who observe!

Merry Idesmass to all, And to all a good knife!

Students love fancy facilities, sports programming, and name brand recognition, but when asked, most point toward interaction with engaged professors who help them learn how to think and evaluate the thinking of others as the most transformative and important part of their college experience.

In hindsight, it seems inevitable that my fellow Americans' infamously terrible grasp of geography would one day doom us all.

Happy Ides of March Eve to all who observe!

This is a good question to address, actually. There's often an intuitive assumption that when a country runs out of money, its war effort will grind to a halt. That's how households and (sometimes) companies work. But those assumptions are really frequently frustrated - countries can push on.

Hell of a thread on how long Iran can endure.

wondering how many of us have been waiting to hear troubling news from a *different* narrow water passage to skeet: "The straits are not OK."

The last time we had back-to-back Friday the 13ths in February and March was 2015.

Happy Friday the 13th to all the paraskevidekatriaphiles out there!
