I don't think I've ever talked on Bluesky about why I hate the Foo Fighters and Dave Grohl. Don't read any further unless you're prepared for uncomfortable truths about the "Nicest Guy in Rock", and his very substantial body count & subsequent cover-up.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.

One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mis

NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.

Ridgeline chart showing the distribution of global daily air temperature differences from the pre-industrial reference period (1850-1900), for every year between 1940 and 2024. Each individual year resembles a hill, shaded in a darker shade of red and further to the right for warmer years. The trend is clearly towards warmer years, with 2024 standing out as first year above 1.5C.

Have to trot out the obligatory XKCD tonight. No aurora in Hawaii, we've got massive amounts of clouds and rain in any case. :) 🧪

XKCD cartoon about what it means if you see an aurora, by latitude. Poles are labeled "normal", temperate zones "cool and exciting" and "someone should check on our satellites" (working towards the equator). The equator is labeled "A bunch of open questions in solar-terrestrial physics are about to be answered"

Fun Aurora fact. The reason folks are seeing red/purple Aurora is that the current storm is strong enough that it's pushing deep (<90km) into the atmosphere & interacting with nitrogen. The "regular" green Aurora is due to interaction with higher level oxygen

If anybody ever wants to hear me rant for days on end just ask me about the Chinese Exclusion Act and what it truly stemmed from (white-boy sexual insecurity, mostly)

I, too, saw a bad person say a bad thing on another social media website. I chose not to screenshot it and share it here. This is an option available to you as well.

For my sins I watched the entire Luxo standup today and whenever he has no idea what he's talking about or is obviously lying he licks his lips or bites his lower lip like David Brent and it makes me want to crawl under a duvet for the next three years #nzpol
