This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again.

John Elway was 37 years old when he won his first Super Bowl. Next season we got a new home and we’re going to get some new luck. Go Bills. I love you Bills Mafia.

☀️ The light slowly creeping through the corridor, illuminating the inner chamber, as the northern hemisphere gradually starts facing the sun again. The ancestral beauty of it all

That’s one of the most significant @buffalo-bills.bsky.social wins in a long time. That game exorcised a lot of demons. We overcame a bunch of things that usually are permanent de-railers. Go Bills!!! 🦬

Detroit Tigers offense breaks through just in time to grab berth in 2025 ALDS
Winning hasn't come easy for the Detroit Tigers over the past month, but when it matters, they've found a way, most recently in the wild-card series.

OBAMA: It's fair to say that 80% of the world's problems involve old men hanging on who are afraid of death and insignificance, and they won't let go. They build pyramids, and they put their names on everything. They get very anxious about it.

Good morning! It’s important to acknowledge our inevitable pain, not deny nor suppress it, & do something healthy with it, such as channeling it outwards, put it somewhere else. Channeling pain constructively, along with anger, helps us to leverage them to overcome obstacles.

My mother always told me that if I was feeling bad about myself, I should go help somebody. I’ll have to tell her about these findings.
