To my alma mater Cornell, and other big universities. Please listen to Obama at about the 4-minute mark here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J48l...
Kinda cute how the Supremes seem to think they're doing Trump a favor with their obsequious rulings, but they're really helping him dig his own grave.
yes, but: the lack of hiring is also related to macroeconomics having little to do with AI, and lots to do with Trump administration choices for tariffs, taxes, immigration, education, government layoffs.
RIP Rick Davies. His Goodbye Stranger is a rock and roll classic, touches the heart of wanderlust that's in us when we're young. www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s...
So scientists, you're damned if you do, damned if you don't. This is an argument for passivism which is effective capitulation to Trump and his fascists.
My trust in higher ed is 100x more than trust in anything the Trump admin says. Why publish this drivel. Atlantic used to not be so mealy-mouthed about Trump. It's changed for the worse.
I love this idea so much I wish I could recommend it 1000x.
And yet somehow without such tariffs our country has lasted 249 years.
spot on. Thanks.
President Trump, fire Secretary Kennedy.
But she was listening to BeeGees and Sheena Easton back then.
Don't ask no questions, don't get no lies.
You really think MoDo gets the Joe Jackson reference? She's way too unhip for that.
This sort of ad amuses me, in that the picture is clearly clickbait and utterly related to the product. Sex sells.
I want to pack the Supreme Court with 5+ justices who aren't beholden to Trump
Bluesky: when I browse in Discover mode and block certain users, I'm really telling you that the content from this user *and other users like this* is annoying me and I want to see less. Case in point: users posting their AI "art."
Let us give him a delta function of attention today.

That's an organization with too much money. Give it to the poor.
As a Cornell alum, I am rooting for them not to capitulate.
Neter Wasserman Kutner was a great basic text on regression analysis.

The band Elbow isn't well known in the US, but what an amazing listen they are. The Seldom Seen Kid is a desert island album. I am so lucky to soon see them in Denver. elbow.co.uk/us-canada-to...
You know, I really couldn't care less about this whole thing.
thanks!
Which storm, where, on what date/time?
Good advice from Catherine Rampell today. "The bravest writers aren’t the ones most willing to enrage audiences; it’s those who are indifferent as to whether any particular column earns them friends or enemies, so long as they get it right." www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Lawsuit filed yet?
What is the bigger issue involved in the Epstein case? To me, we don't have an independent justice department, and so for this and the many other questionable activities of the Trump administration, there's no chance to get to the bottom of it. Major legislation is needed to prevent politicization.
Won't catch this vegan there.
A middle-of-the-road summer dewpoint in CO, but I get what a relief it must be to you back east. That said, the current dewpoint here is pushing 60.
Angling for a job.
So USA needs a new political party. Here's the Finley party platform. 1. Just walk away from yappy loudmouths. 2. Prioritize play over everything. 3. Love your peeps, always. 4. More walks. 5. Kisses! 6. Eating cat poo optional.
Just keep flappin' those gums, Mr. Trump. Each word does your opponents good.
Hey BlueSky. I'd like to know about useful new content to follow in "Discover." No matter how many of these I block, I get the same old suggestions for cat pictures, useless snark, or people who have AI-generated "art." Surely a little deep learning algorithm can help you recommend better.
Those are some whangdoodle fronts there...
Genocide against Palestinians. It has to stop. The US should not be providing military aid to Israel under these circumstances, and it should insist on food and medical care reaching Gazans. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/15/o...
"Tell" ? How about legislate, pass a bill with a $15/h min wage nationally.

This isn't terribly strong evidence cited in this article. Regarding Jacobs and "giving it away for free" -- when I was part of the NOAA Science Advisory Board EISWG, we addressed this here: sab.noaa.gov/wp-content/u...

OK, one point of confusion on this. Congress presumably does this through legislation, but if the president vetoes, then where are we?
Where's the second page so we can see the signatories?
Congratulations, Florian. Big shoes to fill, but we're glad ECMWF remains in capable hands.

The new car is designed to look cool but it can't take a punch.
More bad car design. Who ever said "Why don't you paint a third of the back window black so I can't see behind me very well?"
It used to be cars had bumpers that the government regulated could stand a 5 MPH bump. But this was big government run amok, so now we have cars with "bumpers" that require enormous repair with the slightest tap
In conservative Colorado Springs today our family got blocked from exiting our parking spot by a guy in a pickup who said he'd just be a minute to get a cup of coffee. No rationality could convince him to move his car. I haven't encountered this sort of jackassery in liberal Boulder.
Blur, Song 2: "I got my head shaved / by a Chambochay. It wasn't easy."
Well done, Big Apple www.nytimes.com/2025/06/25/n...
Dangerously tiny windows is the rage in new car design. I'd welcome cars with good visibility, which strikes me as a safety issue.
Didn't blow up on launch pad, so far so good.
Welp, there goes the Nobel Peace Prize.
I think the strikes on Iran are likely to do a lot more harm than good in the long run, and perhaps in the short run too. Should Iran set off a bomb in DC or NY, now it's retaliation, not terrorism.
Ain't gonna lift itself onto the back of a semi, though.
Not worth dying for good video. But it was good video.
I had the opportunity to listen to NPR a bunch yesterday driving. They talked about Republican hawks vs. doves. To me, pro/against war, context matters. There are very different arguments for containing Russia in Ukraine vs. assisting Israel in its war with Iran. Subtlety of thought, please.
Trump looking absolutely inconsolable at his fascist-themed 79th birthday party which no one turned up to other than those who had to because he's their boss.
Boulder Colorado NO KINGS!!
No Kings Day in Boulder, CO. I'd estimate 2K people.
To quote Mick Herron, trying to reason with Trump is like trying to explain Norway to a dog.
It's a Trumpian strategy of doing something more outrageous to distract from the last outrageous thing you've done (starve Palestinians).
"We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." ~ Carl Sagan
“No Kings” protests: Millions of Americans are expected to head to the streets on June 14 to oppose Trump’s “dictator-style birthday parade."
I will be out protesting Saturday in Boulder; I hope to see some of you locals out there, near the intersection of Canyon and Broadway. For those further afield, please join a protest this Saturday. Express your displeasure, peacefully, with the direction of our country.
We need so many protests that Trump and his Nazis cannot suppress them all.
There is virtually no homosexuality in the US Navy. Nor cannibalism.
It seems Katrina was the straw that broke the Bush camel's back. History repeats?
Thanks John.

Whence comes the steel taco truck? My over/under is a Friday near 4 July when nobody is paying attention.
Good luck with that line of argument in court.
On the bright side, he's unlikely to make a good case to the judicial branch. Look forward to more T failures in court.
The main reasons to me the jihad against Harvard should fail are: (1) any action against Harvard should have as its basis a clear legislative mandate, and (2) actions must be applied equally, so Southern Methodist University should get the same scrutiny and process as Harvard.
ECMWF has been the most impactful weather organization in the world, now for 50 years. Congratulations to the organization and all the talented, hard-working staff there.

Just watched Return of the Jedi, necessitated by having a 13 y/o son. It's a painfully bad movie, and Harrison Ford makes no effort to pretend otherwise when issuing his obvious, ham-fisted lines. I feel for the actor of Witness, Working Girl.
Makeup can't hide the ugliness inside.
I think you've seen on your previous thread that lots of people can relate to the issues you're dealing with. I think that you can imply from this that you have a rich support network if needed. For my part, you're always welcome to ping me to talk.
