In the past 48 hours, I’ve been accused of taking money from AIPAC, running a Swift Boat campaign, serving up propaganda, accepting money from foreign governments, and—my personal favorite—being compared to “a walking mortadella.” (Ironically, my dog’s name is Pancetta.)
All because I asked one question about Graham Platner.
You can read the story and decide for yourself whether the reaction matched the question.
.@ShamsCharania just announced that Trump won’t be here for Game 4 tomorrow night because of "scheduling conflicts and obligations"….aka he doesn’t want to get booed out of MSG again….so let’s get the vibes back on track in the city and LFG Knicks!
"I know what I saw, and it wasn't impressive. And that New York Knicks team ain't winning the championship."
@stephenasmith reacts to the Knicks' Game 3 loss in the NBA Finals 😳
And that those people — the philosophers, the mystics, the theologians — have played important roles, both negative and positive, in human societies, such that even some of those who didn't feel this deep impulse found some use, comfort, etc. in metaphysical claims. 3/3
This LEGO video is hilarious.

June 6. Five beaches. 23k paradropped or landed gliders behind enemy lines. 130k hit the beaches. Two American, two British, one Canadian. Omaha saw the bloodiest fighting, but the grunts took the beach. Paris would be liberated in 80 days.
I'm always moved by the D-Day story.🇺🇸
BREAKING: Stunning new polling from Fox News shows Democrat Sherrod Brown ahead of his Republican opponent Jon Husted in Ohio. Republicans should be freaking out about this one.
Despite ~400,000 new EVs and ~200,000 new heat pumps in California during the past year and the 3rd-most data centers in the U.S., demand has hardly changed since 2025 and decreased 1.3% versus 2023, largely due to the growth in roof PV.
Roof PV reduces grid demand for electricity.
At the same time WindWaterSolar has supplied 56.4% of demand this year and >100% of demand for parts of 129 of 153 days, including 63 straight.
Gas is down 61% vs 2023, yet California's main grid is the most reliable in the US based on the lowest wholesale electricity prices in the past year.

This is fascinating. A 55 year, now retired scientist with ca. 135 published articles. Some basic science with no immediate application, a few substantial contributions. Some no citations, a few have lots, most have a few. What should I have done?
If the entire tenure and promotion system weren't predicated on churning out a bunch of (mostly?) slop that no one reads, then there would be no incentive to author a bunch of fake AI papers. Academic culture was broken before AI, the chatbots just made this impossible to ignore.
