I used to feel a little bad that The Onion is about to surpass WaPo in print subs and stopped promoting the membership as a direct foil until today they came out with “Do POOR BABIES deserve DIAPERS???” so therefore

Tired: statehood for DC Wired: statehoods for DC

Strange situation where we await a statement from Iran to check whether there's any truth to what US president is saying.

Wild what you can get away with in articles about cycling. This is objectively false! A city with less driving and more biking is far safer for pedestrians. Hate cyclists all you want but that’s an empirical fact

I'm always struck by the refusal of otherwise literate adults to distinguish between annoying and dangerous when it comes to bikes. Water is wet and cyclists are less dangerous than cars for pedestrians! Not debatable!

The AIP stats team has released its latest data of physics & astronomy PhD trends, with breakdown by gender. What is extraordinary to me is how clearly the overall trends exhibit an important gender dimension, and that that story is quite different between physics and astronomy.

Bad Bunny reclaimed América from the United States. And made the United States just one of many in a continent where we’re all americanos. Con minúscula. “God bless América,” he goes. And then the lists all of it: Sea 🇨🇱 🇦🇷 🇺🇾 🇵🇾 🇧🇴 🇵🇪 🇪🇨 🇧🇷 🇨🇴 🇻🇪 🇬🇾 🇵🇦 🇨🇷 🇳🇮 🇭🇳 🇸🇻 🇬🇹 🇲🇽 🇨🇺 🇩🇴 🇯🇲 🇭🇹 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 🇵🇷 “Together we are América.”

Begging everyone to stop boosting betting platforms. I wonder if all the coverage has deleterious effects, like how suicides are considered contagious from a public health standpoint (or has that been debunked?)

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

Good morning! Last night I learned three important things: 1) My flight today from Toronto to NYC to give a talk in the Planetarium at AMNH tomorrow was cancelled due to the snow 2) The best alternative Air Canada could offer me was Wednesday morning: too late! 3) But there is a TRAIN 🚂

Being a journalist is sick: I just contacted a pre-eminent jaguar conservationist in Argentine with a question that has been weighing on me for ages and he wrote back right away with an informed answer.

Flight of the Conchords' first Los Angeles appearance in over 10 years will be at The Greek Theatre on May 9th performing at the 2026 Netflix Is A Joke Festival. The Conchords will perform fan favs and classic banter. This will also be the duo's only US performance for 2026. Tix on sale Friday.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

Oh and yanks: talk to your family about what heinous shit your crook warmonger monster president definitely did as revealed in those unredacted files. The house of cards is already shuddering, time to blow the whole diabolical thing down 🔥✨

How people know you’re a real astrophysisist:

I seem to recall a huge protest awhile ago that was full of people who warned about this very thing happening? Hmmm...

"oh I'm too old for stuffed animals” skill issue. sorry you can't appreciate little creatures made to hang out with you, I on the other hand am full of joyous whimsy and therefore vastly superior.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.
