So if Kamala Harris had been elected do you think the United States would be in a war with Iran? Just asking...

The world is healing.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

‼️

Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”

I'm convinced that a sign of getting old is how I keep buying new and fancy potato chip flavours, getting 1/3rd of the way through the bag and realizing I actually just want sour cream and onion.

Among top 10 coldest "Jan. 15 - Feb. 4" three-week periods on record for much of the East, per SERCC.

Third coldest in 153 years in Detroit, coldest since 1963.

Also third coldest in 149 years in Pittsburgh, their coldest since 1977.

'Fac simile’ is a Latin phrase meaning “make alike.”

1600s: ‘facsimile’ was used to mean "an exact copy."

1800s: people developed facsimile technology that could reproduce printed material via telegraph.

We shortened ‘facsimile,’ and now call them ‘fax’ machines.

Saying it now: Guster is criminally underrated.

Highly recommend watching @jeffgeerling.com’s latest stream. Thanks for the entertainment!!

How I know I’m getting old: managed to pull a muscle just out of nowhere

Let’s talk about yesterday. During a Department of Homeland Security press conference in Los Angeles led by Secretary Kristi Noem, Senator Alex Padilla (D‑CA) was forcibly removed, forced face-down on the ground, and handcuffed by federal agents. Here’s what to know:

Been on a Radio Paradise kick lately, and they have an option for a “favorites mix” with songs you’ve rated highly. Tate McRae after Ravel’s Bolero sounded surprisingly good, and now it just went to Pat Metheny.

I’m loving it. Grab some decent headphones and it’s pretty damn nice.

Welp, found my sleep playlist on Spotify tonight. A bunch of classic Weather Channel songs — even saw Phish and Pink Floyd on it.

If I see a surface map come up in my dreams, at least I’ll know why.

Star Trek Voyager scene. We see the EMH Doctor looking shooketh AF talking to Chakotay like Chakotay just told him he's maybe gonna have a romantic storyline with Seven a few seasons from now. Closed caption reads, "I'm a night owl."

How dare you

They’re playing Shinedown at Staples.

I feel so damn old now.

Not a meteorologist, but this is infuriating. Wishing the best for those at NOAA, the NWS, NHC, SPC… the list goes on.

If that isn’t harassment to them, what the hell is?

I don’t think people realize the amount of work NWS/NOAA does. I know it won’t matter to the current admin, but losing it is another way to put people’s lives at risk, which seems to be their MO.

That’s still up, and it better stay up…

Reminds me, I should probably stock up on some bread. Running low over here.

So this is Bluesky. Nice.
