Environmental science 61%
Geography 15%

The diet fed to these turkeys would be unaffordable to 50% of American families

Zack, what drives the Pacific equatorial cooling? Is it upwelling? And at what point will the deep ocean heat sinks start to absorb enough heat that it greatly minimizes the La Niña cooling?

That’s a truly telling plot

The last of the harvest before the #MN cold hits next week. Till next year veggie garden
America putting most of its eggs in the generative AI basket, China going hard into green tech. When history looks back on this period, someone is going to look awfully stupid.

Con air? That’s a real throwback movie reference. And a surprisingly high quality cast for late 90s action

Crap on the #Bills defense, but when it boils down to it, all the warts of the offense are still there. No ability to stretch the field or provide any sort of release valve for Allen. The Texans have zero fear of a deep pass

Man, how many more injuries can this #Bills defense handle? The answer was zero, but they keep coming

And the pocket is stretched to like half the field. They’re not getting pressure and getting pushed outward

Losing Carter was also a bigger deal than we think. Basically young guy with upside was replaced with old guys with downside (eg Phillips)

It’d be nice if the #Bills had a pass rush

He heard all the criticism from @patrickmorantb.bsky.social calling him dead weight

this is the correct way to react to anything the president says-

I remember getting a new fridge in our apartment once and feeling like we won the lotto

The ‘pet accessory’ business is the biggest racket in the world. Convince hapless #cat owners to buy a ‘pet tent’ that will forever be unused in favor of an old shoe basket and dirty sweater

Nah, he’s just staying humble and hungry after being effectively replaced by a 41 year old

Imagine how many yards Cook would have if he got to play against the Bills defense

I gave a recent quiz and on a fill in the blank, 20% of my students gave an answer I’ve never mentioned in class and was very mathematical in nature, beyond the scope of my class. Curious I ran my question into ChatGPT and that exact term is the AI response.

Especially when you’re getting $2.5 million/yr to attend these meetings

Since its ending in 2030, maybe F will be the Five Year Plan
🚨Dept. of Education proposes to exclude public health degrees from the “professional degree” category.

That means new public health experts could lose access to key higher ed resources, like loan limits & reimbursement.

A bold strategy to let infectious diseases win! 🦠

I was sharing some pics of the MN aurora with friends back east and my guy from Queens scoffed and said he’d seen better

How many Little Debbie’s Christmas cakes were consumed during this binge?

This is exactly why the #Bills are not going to take Bass off IR unless they need to. They’ve got a guy kicking well, no guarantee Bass will do a better job, so leave him on IR and it’s like having a set backup. If Prader is dropped there is a zero chance they could stash him

At least we put real sugar back in Coke, changed some food dyes, & demonized vaccines. Y'know, the real work to Make America Healthy Again!
During his campaign, Trump (& RFK) promised to rein in the use of dangerous pesticides, but the EPA has loosened oversight and is accelerating pesticide approvals.

Notably, the top 4 positions in the new Trump EPA’s chemical safety office are held by former pesticide and chemical industry lobbyists
Trump officials set to approve ‘forever chemical’ as pesticide ingredient
Critics say that fifth Pfas Trump’s EPA has proposed for approval this year would put food and water supply at risk

Also feels like he can’t escape any tackles. Against the Chiefs he caught a pass and was literally stopped cold by a DB who stretched out one arm off balance. Coleman’s a big guy, yet has no ability to make a move after first contact

You can’t be a successfully receiver if you’re deficient in both Yards downfield and Yards per catch. It just doesn’t work.
