I’m a big fan of the late evening yard work. Go daylight savings time!

Very concerning for us in #MN #publichealth. There are definite undervaccinated community pockets throughout our state. And as it warms and more folks travel between greater Minnesota and the urban metro, it’s gonna become problematic

So with the Moore trade, resigning McGovern and Alec Anderson, the offense has been addressed early. Im guessing draft is gonna be all defense with maybe a specialist thrown in. We’d all love another WR, but with all the needs and cap issues, I can’t see when it happens, unless a late round flier

This is very sad loss for the American public. While people might not detect a day to day impact, these incredibly smart people were working behind the scenes to ensure our water, air, and everyday products were free from harmful toxins. Our lives will be worse off because of this.

Casey Means did not complete her medical residency. She does not have an active medical license. She has no research experience in patient or public health. She is a wellness influencer and unqualified for this serious position.

Didn’t the Bills just restructure his contract this past trade deadline? That probably hurts deadcap-wise. Oh and since a trade never happened, it’s probably even worse.

Exactly! And I point out that it was highlighted in the main paragraph, cause I get that any individual might have missed it. But for it to be in the Discussion meant that it was spoken of and no one else said, “Wait a sec, that section is right here.” That’s what frustrated me the most

I once got a comment in the main summary statement paragraph(!) stating that a major limiting factor was no sample size calculation. Except Section C.3 of our proposal was a very clearly labeled “Sample Size Calculation.” And we had spent a heck of a lot of time on it.

Last time I checked sunlight and wind couldn’t be blockaded in the Straight of Hormuz

Hah, great analogy!

Beavers play such an important role in terrestrial water system. Especially in a warming world, their dams help capture and slow extreme rainfall runoff and simultaneously replenish the water table during drought

So will the Senate discipline in any way a standing member that interferes with a security situation and in the process causes serious bodily harm to an individual? I can guarantee that any other person who behaved this way would be fired.

Man these #MN parents are ruthless! Camp registration opened at 8:00am and daughter registered at 8:01am. Camp is completely full and we’re 6th place on the waiting list

Hah, make your next seasons bold predictions “The opposite of whatever Pat just said!”

There is a genuine upwelling of anger growing against the billionaire class. We all see how unfair a system is when people work 38.5hrs/week (so companies avoid full-time benefits) and be paid so little they still need food stamps to survive. Meanwhile these people buy $135 million homes.

Case in point:

Shouldn’t that read, “Let them eat beef liver”?

In 2022 (back when #Twitter was still a thing), I had made this #meme about the state of #urban #climate #research based on an #xkcd comic.

With all the recent changes in the #publication and #funding spaces due to the #AI + #machinelearning hype cycle, here is an updated version.

Spot on (and great use of WAR). It was either Manchin or Shelly Moore Capito version 2. I’m no Manchin apologist, but he was the last survivor of former Dem senators from states like MT, MO, and ND. And barring a monumental shift, you may never see a Dem representative from those states for 30 years

In Manchin’s defense his stance was obvious and public all along. He was a West Virginia blue dog and a social conservative, who never misled the public as to who he was. In my opinion, Manchin was a gift cause WV is not giving you another Dem senator for decades

You know, it was a lot nicer when I was a kid and there was someone else to clean up the cat vomit

And look at these guys wolfing it down and squeezing out their disposable ketchup packets! You all are adult millionaire pro athletes who just won a gold medal! How would you respond if your team served you this crap on a roadtrip. Where’s your pride?

Thank you! Always wondered why people say this. 99% of us have taxes taken off our paycheck automatically (surprise, government already has our money!) and if you do owe money you send a check to the US Treasury. State is just not involved in individual federal tax collection.

Incredible graph. And in that same blink, some natural buffers can absorb that carbon, but those will run out. And the effects of this will impact us on a geological scale that’s basically ‘forever’

North American megafauna of megatherium, glyptodons, mastodons, megacerops, and the unique predators to feed on them must have been a sight to see. Incredible to think that they were around for early humans

Checking out the #CoCoRaHs reports for New England. Not sure if I’ve ever seen multiple notes that say, “Unable to reach gauge due to poor conditions” and then remark how they’ve lost power. Stay safe northeast! On the flip side it’s a crisp yet sunny 2 degrees in #Minnesota with zero precipitation

Hockey players trend much more right-wing than football and basketball players

I attended an 8 hour NASA meeting and due to restrictions on spending taxpayer money on non-critical expenditures, they are forbidden to provide food or drink, including coffee/tea. It’s a ridiculous stance, but fine. But then I see stuff like this or the Kristi Noem luxury jet and just laugh.

This is the most incredible footage of blue whales I’ve ever seen
