I have watched the Bad Bunny show a bazillion times.

I love it.

The concepts are universal.

We choose to erect artificial boundaries for stupid reasons.

Regardless of our small differences, you will find more similarities if you allow yourself to look.

ICE agents reveal daily arrest quotas and surveillance app in rare court testimony Under oath, officers said they were told to make eight arrests a day and given special tech to help choose β€˜targets’

When a federal judge (finally) put ICE officers under oath, they admitted that they are given daily detention quotas and rely heavily on a Palantir-supplied AI tool to select targets, without warrants and without enough evidence to obtain one. They simply go into neighborhoods and round people up.

FBI failuresβ€”such as not finding Charlie Kirk’s killer despite the FBI Director and deputy’s personal involvementβ€”are more likely due to gutting investigatory capacity with political purges and putting corrupt incompetents in charge, not because officers didn’t put the suspect in a proper arm bar.

You would think after having 3 Great Pyrenees mixes over the last 25 years I would know better than to buy a black fleece jacket.

You would be wrong.

I have kids who are dyslexic and they could run circles around him intellectually and in terms of empathy and knowing right from wrong.

Am I the only one who is totally fucking losing my shit over the dyslexia comment?

And the mental disorder comment.

It’s infuriating because it’s such an antiquated comment that further stigmatizes both.

In this new Geology Bites episode, Hal Levison, PI of NASA’s Lucy mission, explains how giant planets may have formed much closer to the Sun before migrating to their current orbits, and that Trojan asteroids can help test this hypothesis.

I'm fucking tired of this shit.

GOP idiot: We will make sacrifices to bomb the shit out of people, for millions of dollars (or more) a day.

Reporter: What do you think about free school lunches for kids in need?

GOP idiot: What are you, a fucking communist? We have to reduce government spending.

Banded iron in a cut and polished side roughly 6” long in a vertical orientation compared to image.

Help geo/paleo hive mind! A student asked how much time is represented in a band of a banded iron formation and not only am I clueless, but my Google Scholar search didn’t yield a clear answer.

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

By good or bad policy I mean simple and boring to the average Americans, albeit fraught and often quite divisive, disagreements about regulation, etc.

Not this batshit craziness we see now.

Will O&G companies will exploit the current prices. In my opinion: NO.

It's WAY too volatile. You stand-up a bunch of rigs and then the price could be 50.

I know people want a "decisive" government. But government moves slowly for a reason. Good or bad policy, stability is the through line.

When, despite your own military service, continue to see special forces like a movie super hero assemblage, without all the obvious logistical concerns.

In 1979 two things shaped my childhood in my suburban neighborhood:

1) I feared Iranians coming over the hill in my neighborhood (I was 5, I am now a semi-mature adult who opposes current events)

2) roving gangs of teenagers on bikes, some with banana seats, and this movie was the reason for #2.

If only there was sufficient evidence that Trump is and always has been full of shit…if only.

That sarcastically said, it doesn’t matter because because he has been a malleable and useful idiotic vessel for their grievance-driven lib-owning.

I will argue with all the short-sighted critics who can't see beauty and intrigue in Midwestern and Great Plains landscapes, but the northern Sangre de Cristo Mountains rising up from the San Luis Valley do give me pause.

Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves

There are strains of Christianity where prominent figures, whether religious or political, suggest that empathy is bad.

I believe the term β€œtoxic empathy” has been thrown around but I can’t remember the source.

It’s all so fucking nuts. I can imagine thinking like that.
