We don't talk enough about these dwindling strategic reserves. Canada is a known mass producer, but because of hostile actions by the US we may not het through the winter. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Tough call this one. Less time in purgatory, but accelerating climate change enough to make your time on Earth a living hell.

Once in a while the @fiftyplusone.news Senate forecast fiftyplusone.news/forecast/sen... shows the possibility of 60Dems in Senate and I'm going

Rather have Smith do a 9 out stint than let Bibee pitch?

I say 60 pitch CGSO for Armstrong, at this rate.

This should be a collaboration with @xkcd.com and that would be epic and disastrous

Cleveland Guardians, known homerun mashers.

Where do we start?

NSF absolutely deserves a Nobel prize in its own right. A pity they don't do posthumous awards.

TIL that Kluber never made it to 10Ks in 2016

Whenever I drop off my kids at school, I hear a decent amount of chatter from other kids: "wow, that's a nice ebike!" It's clear what kind of technology excites the young ones.

@djphysicswebb.bsky.social, Mary Chessey and I have a newly accepted paper on uncollected test item responses on open-ended physics exam questions! Blank responses on exams are missing data, not measurements of physics knowledge or skills. Read on for details... Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2606.05473

I'm going to tell my Physics class that Trump wants to convert the entire US to SI units.

How do you handle? With luck. That's what we did.

The fact that this is somehow less than how much Elon enriched himself during this period is incredibly scary to me.

Tracking @fiftyplusone.news on how Nebraska and Kansas are coming into play.

There's a distinct chance that 1947-1960, the core of the Baby boom generation, will never deliver a US president.

Their best album of the nineties. Not sure if that's a hot take or not

youtu.be/8J2ups3xVZk?... The Dutch *kids* news is not pulling punches about AfD. Spoiler: this video features Hitler and a concentration camp.

While we're in the process of renaming, why stop at states, gulf's and lakes? what-if.xkcd.com/53/

The early Roman Emperors are split in two clear groups: Augustus, Claudius, Vespasianus, etc who at least treated the Senate with respect, and Tiberius, Caligula, Nero... who ignored them for the paper tiger they were. Provosts can be divided into similar groups.

Awesome! 10 miles on a hill flattening ebike should clear out many commutes and good deserts in Cleveland. I know it's my main mode of commute now!

This looks cool

if infrastructure is what connects people, holds them together, serves, supports, and endures, then Dolly Parton was infrastructure.

Hugo Grotius, the towering intellectual who basically founded international law, escaped from prison in a book chest. You are what youre accompanied by. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugo_Gr...

Hat tip to the weather service. They got the timing of the smoke moving out down to the minute here in the Cleveland area

Ugh. Cleveland is Smokey at the moment

Indoor air quality is worse now than during cooking #cawildfires

Best Star Trek Captain, wrong answers only: Sejanus, captain of the imperial guard.

Uniting the Belgians may be worth a Peace Prize after all.

Wet bulb Glob temperature of 27C in the Midwest is scary, but I guess it is safe to add another 2C to account for heat islands in the cities. That's deathly.

Temperature is 98F Dew point 77F Wet bulb 82F Cleveland area is downright dangerous at the moment.

Say what now.

I propose a new pitching achievement, in the same vein as a Maddux: pitching at least 7 innings, 10 SO, and at most 2Earned Runs, still earning a loss. We'll call it a Bibee.

NCAR just won in court! A US district judge in Colorado has prohibited NSF from taking #NCAR apart, specifically in spalling off its supercomputing center in Wyoming. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Our earlier story on this and why it matters: www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

If your CEO serves on the recently revamped National Science Board, are you eligible to apply? Asking for a friend in the Bay area.

Seriously confused about which Michael Mann, and what Heat. @michaelemann.bsky.social , what is your Erdos-Bacon number anyway?

Remember Sharpiegate? That was such a masterclass of relative intelligence.

Welp.

How can this be called misogynistic? They're clearly putting the women on a pedestal.

This might be a good (additional) reason not to slash ARM/ASR from the presidential budget proposal. Just spit balling here.

The strait of Hormuz is still open, but you first have to sing it's the end of the world (and I feel fine) correctly and at tempo.

I'd watch this Netflix show.

According to the number of idling cars exhausting fumes at the elementary school, gas is still too cheap.

Easily the coolest picture I've ever been in.

Evergreen. Students, faculty, and perhaps even admin are all alike. Alike in actually wanting to learn, alike in poorly reading emails, alike in procrastinating straight through deadlines. Some of them may even be alike in being human.

This is absolutely incredible: the average temperature over the past six months (October-March) will end up at 52.5°F in #Albuquerque. That's 4°F above the previous record warmest. 🤯 Even after accounting for climate change, the odds of it being THAT warm are 1-in-123,000!! 🤯

I'll just go work in a bar to save the economy.
