I saw it as a Cameron acknowledgment to all the recovered watches/clocks that gave a precise record for when the ship sunk. Andrews knew it might be the only thing he could do at that moment which could matter.

Catching up on episodes and I’ve got to admit, a low blow to all Buffalo Bills fans out there that you managed to sneak our Super Bowl failures into a Twilight Zone pod (but rather impressive at the same time)!!

My daughter came into work today and when she sees me swipe my card to enter the University garage, says “Wait, you have to pay money to park at work? That doesn’t seem right at all!” Welcome to the world of capitalism kid

I can’t recall if the backlash larger over the Kanye comment? Or Obama wearing a tan suit?

More evidence that ecosystems can be resilient, if we just give them a chance

In my opinion, older adults will be most impacted and should be outraged

My grandma lived in Brooklyn for 60 yrs. She had no drivers license (never drove), an expired passport (didn’t travel), and no birth certificate (wasn’t born here). She also voted every election. She was a US citizen voter and would be 100% disenfranchised, as those items would be prohibitive to get

Can we estimate the proportion of that aluminum derived from carelessly unwrapped Hershey Kisses?

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 5d

And who are we keeping safe, Witt? The citizens you work for or ICE officers?

‘Sheriff Witt said, speaking publicly for the first time about the political dilemma she is experiencing. “But at least I could look at myself and say that I did what I thought was right to keep people safe.”’

With the #Yankees signing of Goldschmidt, I don’t understand how running virtually the same team back that’s now a year older (plus three pitchers coming off major injuries) is a path to success. I feel like overall the floor has been lowered and no ceiling elevated

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 6d

I don’t consider myself a hater, but watching the Patriots lose badly has really brightened my outlook for this week!

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 6d

I truly applaud #BadBunny. So many entertainers have enormous platforms and do nothing with it, except elevate their own bottom line (eg every cameo Super Bowl ad for nonsense products). He chose to make a huge visible stand for people who can’t do it themselves on the biggest stage possible. Wow!

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 7d

So if the Bills made the Super Bowl, but had to punt every possession, would you take it?

Wife: The cat is really disturbing my sleep. He woke me at 7am cause he was hungry
Me: Really? That’s surprising cause he already got me up at 4:30am to be fed.
Needless to say, someone’s pleased with his early #caturday shenanigans

A cool biological anachronism that evolved to feed on megafauna, but as mastodons and giant sloths became extinct managed to eke out survival on beached whales and seals along the CA coast. Kinda like the pronghorn antelope, who evolved speed and eyesight to evade predators now extinct for 10K years

Snitty @clofsnitville.bsky.social · 9d

Not exaggerating when I say I tear up a little bit every time I'm reminded that we still have these magnificent birds. They were nearly extinct in my lifetime.

Oregon Zoo @oregonzoo.bsky.social · 9d

Egg-cellent news! The first California condor eggs of the season have been laid at our wildlife conservation center, and more could be on the way.

So if he takes it down, I’m assuming all will be then forgiven by the Republican establishment?

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 9d

And the National media yet again gladly accepts the lies from this administration about toning things down. Glad for our local MN resources/papers who are keeping things honest

ICE is still doing checkpoints in Minneapolis like we are an occupied territory. Life remains really hard here thanks to Trump's thugs.

As I was leaving my home, I hear cars honking near the top the of bridge. People screaming and whistling, I got in my uber and drove out. My uber driver mentioned that they were standing on top of the bridge and doing a check point and stopping people.

Am I the only one who initially read this as a reference to Scott Boras getting Skubal awarded record arbitration money?

Jesse Berman @jesseberman.bsky.social · 10d

And despite Republicans lies, there is no existing voter fraud. What’s ICE gonna do, threaten a bunch of US citizen registered voters standing in line? As Minnesota has shown, this stops no one and will only embolden people to get out and make their voice heard even more

The iconic, slush-filled tubes of orange juice concentrate, which have been around for 80 years, are being discontinued, the Coca-Cola Company says.

Minute Maid discontinues frozen juice concentrate after 80 years

The process to make juice concentrate was invented by the research team C.D. Atkins, Edwin Moore and Louis MacDowell in the 1940s.
