The charitable interpretation is that he’s just being incoherent in his attempt to say “high gas prices aren’t that big of a deal compared to the bad things that can happen in a war.” But even then… like, Biden got the boot for being far less incoherent than this.

Oh I shd add: Deisseroth’s work was (say it w me!) supported with public funding through federal science agencies incl NIH, NSF, and DARPA. And I daresay few political deciders in 2004 would have been excited to put algal proteins in HEK cells or neurons. Scientists knew, though.

Maybe what I want is just a standalone 55-70 or 75 EPOP. (Or maybe I'm asking for the wrong thing because what I really really want is just a survey of economic sentiments in this age slice.)

Not remotely an expert on the stats here, but my concern is "retirement" is sometimes just what people start calling unemployment once they hit age 60, and so you (the BLS, I guess) actually probably should find a better way to factor this in.

Luke Yoquinto @lukeyoquinto.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Does capping these stats at age 55 still make sense given the aging of the population and the long-term trend of people retiring later? I'm open to hearing a good reason why it should stay at 55, but what does this tell us about the lives of ppl aged 55-65? Can they get work if they want? They vote!

I feel like there’s less variety in physical stores as a result of online shopping. If you’re a weird size in pants, say, it used to be they’d keep a pair on hand. Now they don’t feel like they have to bc you can just order it.

Tip for jobseekers: don’t drink iced coffee during your interview. Instead hydrate—and demonstrate resourcefulness—by drinking from a nearby flower vase.

Which I’m bringing back the Patrick O’Brian quote of the day, concerning urination

‘It is well known that I am an urinator,’ said Stephen, looking at him firmly, ‘and in recent hours I have felt a great moral pressure on me to dive.’ It was quite true: no one had openly suggested anything of the kind, and after Hairabedian’s fate no one could decently even hint at it, but he had observed many low-voiced conferences, and he had intercepted many glances directed at his diving-bell, now stowed upon the booms – glances as eloquent as those of a dog. ‘So with your permission I propose descending as soon as John Cooper shall have reassembled the bell. My plan is to attach hooks to the openings in the galley’s deck, which being hauled upon will break up the floor-boards, revealing all that lies below. But I need a companion, a mate, to help me with the necessary manoeuvres.’
9-Treason's Harbour, ch.6, paragraph 156

The Libertarian Party of NH is truly a world-historical collection of weird dummies

NHLP tweets saying "we openly support the assassination of basically every elected democrat in New Hampshire / Bit if you don't have the balls to do that then you should probably vote Gap" and "if you want to light Democrats on fire, please do / is that what you're going to do? / Or are you going to pretend you are while sitting at home and doing nothing at all?"

I need to come clean about something: I always thought the “gas fires of the refinery” line in Born in the USA was “gas prices, the refinery” (doesn’t make sense, I know.) anyway I wanted a gif of Bruce singing the words “gas prices” but it doesn’t exist; never existed. Would have been cool though

It’s unreasonable to expect your kid to go pro, or even get a financial athletic scholarship. But it’s actually not *that* unreasonable to think sports might give them a leg up in admissions, as the varsity blues scandal revealed. Which is part of the problem. The “coach’s list” needs to go away.

Apropos of nothing: defamation suits have become our society's main way of deterring flagrant lying about people, and so it's destabilizing when you have someone wealthy enough to eat any defamation judgment—even a world-historically large one—without batting an eye.
