I want to see season 1 of Fester a lot more than I want to see season 3 of Wednesday

Cut myself shaving in an epically stupid way tonight and spent the next two and half HOURS applying ice and pressure to my fucking FINGERTIP and maybe just maybe I won't need to go to urgent care tonight. Fffffuuuuuuuuuuuuu. ..

The wife gave me a plushy Tullimonstrum Gregarium for my birthday! Am I holding it upside-down? Who knows!

I've read Founding Myth plus a couple of other similar books by other authors. @andrewlseidel.bsky.social understands our predicament and explains it very well

I'd love to read the article but TBH I probably wouldn't be able to follow past the abstract

Are plane crashes the new school shootings?

I've noted some of the procedural things Democrats could be doing in Congress, but this point from @edgeofsports.bsky.social's great piece in the Nation deserves emphasis. This is basic politics, and it's baffling that every Democrat isn't doing it every day. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Why aren’t they taking the fired federal workers who are sharing their heartbreaking stories—the ones that Musk says were being paid to do nothing—and making them famous? The cancer researcher on the verge of a breakthrough? The park ranger in Yosemite who won’t be there to conduct rescues and save lives? The air traffic controller who can speak to the connection between understaffing and recent plane crashes? Is it even safe to fly in Trump’s America?

The Democrats should be amplifying these folks—writing op-eds about them, refusing to go on camera without sharing their spotlight, pressuring their IG influencers to raise them up—but instead, we learn their stories from Reddit. As Moira Donegan wrote in The Guardian, “Why are the Democrats so spineless?”

"Law and order" in the Trump era: if you bow down to the head of the U.S. government, he may help you - whether you're awaiting trial for sex crimes in Europe or doing time in the USA for physically assaulting police.

If you think Musk wants all this data in order to root out fraud and marginally improve government efficiency, I have several bridges to sell you. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

US MSM is completely unreliable now. You too, @npr.org. What is everyone following?

Remember when Republicans were in the minority back in 2009 and they famously managed to do nothing at all to confront Obama? Me neither.

If you are reading this from a country that is still a democracy: Regulate all social media now. Make platforms legally responsible for the content they platform. 70 million people here think Trump was innocent & had an election stolen from him

Let me repeat a few points. 1) There are in France tenured research positions that do not have conditions of citizenship (at CNRS, INSERM, INRIA etc.). The deadline for 2025 has passed at CNRS and INSERM but is February 10 for INRIA. There will (normally) be positions in 2026 too.

16 hours of LRGB data on the Western Veil from bortle 7 outside Boston, USA. I didn't expect to pick up the IFN so I spent a few hours trying to remove it in Pixinsight 😆 #astrophotography
