Size matters to airborne particles. Wildfire smoke is just the right size range to reach the lower respiratory tract. Wear a high quality N95 (or equivalent) mask if you’re outdoors. Don’t be outdoors unless necessary.

Hey @neorsd.org

Just remembered in grad school we named vacuum pumps like monster trucks. Pumpasaurus and Peptide Punisher were the winners.

We were born before the wind Also, younger than the sun

TFW you get a notification of a new citation that you realize was your first publication as a baby grad student 21 years ago 🥲

Has anyone checked in on / heard from Duchess?

Dolly Parton was a queen and a saint. What a privilege to coexist with her. She lived the true American dream going from actual dirt floor to fabulously wealthy. And she chose to use that wealth for so much good. m.youtube.com/watch?v=e2qv...

Le Tour on Alpe d’Huez. No greater venue in sport. And we get it two days in a row! Vive Le Tour!

Happy Bobby Bonilla day to all who celebrate. Gonna be a sad day in 2025 when this holiday ceases.

I bet you did Nazi that coming

@tisiphone.bsky.social is Lefty ok? I hope his head hasn’t exploded.

When life gives you lemons…. madison.craigslist.org/mis/d/madiso...

Yes, Chief Justice, people 💯 unfairly see you as partisan. 🙄

“The governing standard is 28 U.S.C. § 455, which applies to every federal judge including Supreme Court justices. Three of its subsections matter here, and a judge only needs one of them to trigger the recusal obligation. Roberts triggers all three.” cmarmitage.substack.com/p/the-chief-...

I mean how could this *possibly* go wrong?

Aha! Conservatives were correct - there *is* a book turning kids gay! And it was hiding in my conservative Catholic parents’ house no less!!!!

@planetmoney.bsky.social catching up on backlog. Effective altruism doesn’t seem to include the resources/costs of all their “calculations” into money spent. Just more bluster to justify crumbs of their vast wealth trickling down and make them seem even more magnanimous. 🤮

IYKYK

@altmadison.bsky.social Rudolph was not animated. It was stop motion using highly articulated dolls that cost like $50K each at the time (~$530k today). Stunning it got made. And yes, the bullying is terribly problematic but lemme have my nostalgia dammit. 🤣

Is there a bigger scam industry than long distance moving?

Inside every grown man is a 14 year old boy with horrible dietary habits/tastes.

The most accurate obituary you’re likely to find re Cheney.

Don’t let them whitewash Charlie Kirk. He was a racist, transphobe and hater. He bullied others relentlessly for their speech. He undermined education and democracy. He advocated for guns and for accepting murder with guns. But in a democratic society, no one should be killed with guns.

Schrödinger's humanities: Simultaneously moribund and dying in a world in which students increasingly only want to major in STEM and business, and also so powerful that they can inculcate dangerous, subversive ideologies like gender theory and post-colonialism in impressionable young people.

Oof. Why you gotta attack me like that? 🤣

GPT-5 struggles with imposter syndrome and knows what it's like to not earn any money until it turned 30?

Relentless with their profit interest. 🤮
