So glad to have a day where the temp in the backyard didn't hit 80℉ until after 3pm. Had a couple days last week where it was 80℉ by 9am and No. Thank. You.

I will never stop being amused (affectionate) by how many Gen X/Millennial sf/f writers imprinted on Raistlin Majere from The Dragonlance Chronicles.

Yeah, except the Bebop episode would have managed to be both poignant and hilarious simultaneously, with music that really whipped.

Hillbilly Elegy sounds like a lost episode of Cowboy Bebop

Look, i didn't even work in a geology department (i worked in a weird "earth and space sciences" department), and i *still* worked with 3 of these guys.

Daniel Craig playing an entire geology department himself:

Okay, we've already gotten to the "not sure the angle for this shot makes sense" stage of things. I think it's time to log off.

Reposting 50% for good advice, and 50% because the phrase "haven't had the chance to colden yet" is delighting my Pennsylvania Dutch side and i am 1000% using that phrase for the rest of the summer.

summertime physics refreshment hack: have a warm bottle or can that you want *now* but haven’t had the chance to colden yet? put a wet paper towel on it and pop it in the freezer. the thin layer of liquid water conducts heat off the surface much faster than air will. it’ll be cold in 5-10 min. ⚛️🧪

SAME

I withstood the era of people telling me I should read Hillbilly Elegy because of where I'm from. Now I'm living free and easy in the era of people hating J.D. Vance, and I never lifted a finger.

FUCK THIS. I *refuse* to let Rick Santorum (R-AccuWeather) win!

This is a great explainer. There's SO MUCH in Project 2025 that these topical breakdowns are really helpful. I'm glad it includes the plan to commercialize the National Weather Service because that is some bullshit.

Yeahh, checks out.

*taps the sign*

Unsure if i'm actually having a lot more migraines this year ... or if i've just worked thru' A LOT of shitting migraines in my 35 employed years. Either way, really worries me that i have to go back to work with a head like this. How much of my life has been wasted working thru' this pain??

I dunno, this seems ... bad? Maybe we should think about NOT putting in so many data centers? www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Pacific Northwest data center boom could imperil power supply within 5 yearswww.seattletimes.com A forecast from regional power planners predicts that, due to energy demands from data centers, the region will struggle unless it finds more sources of power.

Really need @ribbonknight.bsky.social to log on.

Wisconsin has the best state Democratic party in the country – it's an incredibly sophisticated, well resourced, brilliantly run organization. Joe Biden is losing Wisconsin

Between "merlin" and "rowena" is the 3rd name spouse keeps using, so i guess we need another cat to be named Roland.

Some days i really miss the students in my former program.
