Climate scientist, meteorologist, resiliency, legos, snark, cats, horrible person, South Dakota Mines prof. All opinions are mine, but I'll blame my employers for my typos.

Shouldn’t these ducks have been in a row before the indictment? How often does this happen in normal cases?

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 17h

How does this work with the digital textbooks though?

Voter ID wasn’t about proving you’re you when it was first pushed. Why would it be the case now?

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 1d

As does South Dakota.

A fantastic graph, right down to the pinkish FT background!

Did the witness say this was ICE making an illegal u-turn? (Swinging to right to give them room?)

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 2d

But he voted counter to that. Primaries are scary.

Has anyone READ “Cadillac Desert?!”

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 3d

One of the most “realistic” movies on nuclear war. It came out about the same time as “The Day After” (wow it’s a thing). We were to watch assigned both in high school (TDA my Junior year; Threads my Junior year) and the latter was brutal.

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 3d

Ok so I assume Threads is off the table then…. (Unless he forgets to take the trash out.)

Has he ever watched these movies?!? The dog lives. Nana dies. The only movie where the pet dies first is Threads.

ICE doesn’t have a cool logo and a lame mission statement?

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 3d

Th court should sentence the writer to diagraming all the sentences in the article.

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 3d

I’m afraid to see what kind of fascist pushback they’re getting on Twitter (just deleted the app for good last weekend) for their “apostasy” even though CATO isn’t the one who’s changed here.

Didn’t Biden do that last year?

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 5d

Glad I'm not the only one who saw that.

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 5d

Wow. Raising a bloody flag and doesn't know the flag code. Pathetic.

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 6d

Lame achievement unlocked.

It’s a tribute to the town’s resiliency master plan the way it rebuilds itself every 24 hours. That or rioters are very discrete.

Bill Capehart @billcapehart.bsky.social · 9d

I’m sure they’ll say, “but they say it’s ‘just’ nuisance flooding”.

This is part of the reason U. Nebraska is in trouble now.

Cutting tuition means removing credit generation for science programs. This isn’t encouraging science majors. It’s to destroy the science departments.

Waiving tuition without a compensating income stream worked brilliantly for Nebraska. This will gut the STEM programs they pretend to want to support. Pretty sure that’s a feature not a bug.

And the empty spaces from where the books we loaned to our students would be.
