speaking of crabbing, this came on TV tonight and it's worth watching if you'd like to learn more about one of our regional fisheries

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

In 2025/2026, pleasure is the absence of pain.

Science funding isn’t as terrible as the Trump regime wants and that’s a win.

Recent events have inspired Profs and Pints to revive the production and promotion of Profs and Pints Online for the narrow purpose of offering a forum to current or former faculty members who have been deported, denied entry into the U.S., fled the U.S., or lost jobs over protected speech.

January 6 in History

Wrote this two years ago: “If the insurrectionist-in-chief returns to power without ever facing any real consequences and while explicitly declaring his intent to establish a vindictive autocracy, then January 6 will have been successful.”

And here we are.
January 6 in History
Was it a key moment in the republic’s eventual demise or a milestone on the road to democracy’s ultimate triumph? The meaning of January 6 is yet to be determined

Okay literal Bluesky. Here are the stats from 'Why Leaders Fight', analyzed 1875 to 2004 world leaders. 36% female vs 30% men initiated at least 1 act of aggression. But men responsible for 694 acts of aggression & 86 wars; women just 13 acts of aggression and only one war (Indira Gandhi).

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Some people think science is just for nerds, but science is the foundation of the modern world and science is what made America great.

Even though many of us don’t work directly in space science, we were inspired to become scientists by NASA. Destroying it makes zero sense.

Closing NCAR because it produces "climate alarmism" is like closing the fire department because it produces "fire alarmism"

I know many of you who follow me don't work in climate science, but this is the biggest story in climate right now. Breaking up NCAR makes us all less safe and is another act of self-harm that will take decades to recover from.

Grading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things
