Alaskan. Duke Ellington fan. I wrote a book about mammoths. Now I'm obsessing over permafrost. Babies find me fascinating.

“If Bernie's Social Security Bill was enacted in 2021, Musk would have paid $2.9 billion more in taxes, Social Security would’ve been solvent for 75 years, benefits would have increased by $2,400 & 93% of Americans would have paid Zero more in taxes. The only one ‘entitled’ is Musk.” @ GunnelsWarren

all of this has always been about getting back at the uppity women who wouldn’t fuck them
“Palantir cofounder and CEO Alex Karp states ‘AI will undermine the influence of highly educated, often female voters and give it to working class men. We have feminine energy running our cities and our courts,’ he complained.”

‘Not an Appealing Quality!’ Democrats on CNN Panel Rip Abdul El-Sayed Over ‘Cockiness’ The same pundits who tell female candidates to "smile more" now tell the Muslim Senate candidate to be more respectful to the white bigot who smears them with lies. #STFU www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...
I’ve been trying to get my neighbors to come out for karaoke on the night closest to Halloween. First, Ghostbusters and Thriller are also novelty songs. Other Halloween songs are, I Put a Spell on You, Werewolves of London, and Haunted House. Most seasonal songs are novelty songs.
The big problem with making Halloween a season is that the entire corpus of Halloween music consists of Thriller, the Ghostbusters theme, and a series of corny, repetitive novelty songs released between 1926 and 1958. If my wife puts another jazz song about ghouls and goblins, I swear to God...

We have been fighting this barbarism for at least a decade. Stripping Alaska of everything that makes it special seems to be a priority of the Trump Administration and the akgop.
Hunters on some public lands in Alaska will be allowed to bait bears with doughnuts soaked in bacon grease before shooting them at close range, under a rule the Trump administration released Friday. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/c...

The most remarkable thing is that Jan Crawford, chief legal correspondent for CBS News, thought that El-Sayed explaining the importance of freedom of religion in the Constitution *proved Tommy's point*, which was that El-Sayed is a terrorist sympathizer. Because he believes in THE CONSTITUTION
Jan is a chief CBS reporter. She tweeted this about Tommy, the Republican operative accusing Abdul El-Sayed of terrorism, then deleted it. Zero questions about Tommy declaring he wants the Bible to supersede the Constitution. We need independent media. Join: www.qasimrashid.com/subscribe

I find the diehard fans of politicians who are actually charismatic and/or accomplished to be weird enough, but the ones who come out her defending Schumer or Jeffries at all costs are just baffling. It's like getting a tattoo of one of the Osmond Brothers. Have some fucking self-respect.

so restricting Ukraine's Starlink was Musk's idea, but after Moscow took advantage he became "alarmed about the possibility of adverse consumer reaction in Europe" to the "night of carnage" and denied responsibility I mean, it sounds like typical Elon

This is a little bit off to the side of my studies in permafrost, but I find everything about the high latitudes interesting. I’ve checked out the abstracts on some of these recent papers on the interface between glaciers and the sea. It’s really interesting.
Ho boy, do I have a story for you. The question of how ice breaks has been central to glaciology for well over a century.
No one talks about it because it only ever happens in the disgusting depths of his decaying mind.
So Trump continued to obsess over the death penalty today. His racist revenge fantasies are increasingly incoherent and divorced from reality. Trump wants to execute people from "rough areas" who shoot at firefighters climbing up ladders. "They get shot at and nobody ever talks about that."
