I actually think it’s better to get blown out than lose the way the Phillies did today.

We’ve spent many, many hours over the past few months searching the rock pools of Cornwall for a rainbow sea slug. Today, we finally found one! Absolutely worth all the time we’ve spent - it was truly breathtaking.

Man...just one of those weeks, I guess, but I've just generally been out of sorts and unsettled. 2026-style Weltschmerz or something like that, I guess, mixed in with a regular daily life...

This is seismic news for fisheries scientists. Northern cod is *the* iconic symbol of total fisheries collapse due to overfishing (and other factors) *and* the iconic symbol of a complete failure to recover for decades afterwards. This is like announcing the complete recovery of bison on land.

I’m really fucking tired of all of these powerful people telling their generally powerless (on an individual level) constituents that only the constituents can fix this mess.
Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's not screwing around... he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. He will do whatever he can to take this election. The only thing that can stop him is all of you."

@kentremendous.bsky.social and @joeposnanski.com - you guys have this Dodgers thing all wrong. It STARTED with investigation into the financial shenanigans. Those shenanigans coming into regulatory focus forced the sale of the Lakers.

What's the best way to find a new business mentor? No one knows what I do or seems all that interested in learning about how what I do is different. I end up with useless advice like "increase cash flow."

This is brought to you by the people who believe that only men should be in the service, and no service wife should have a job. It's absolutely going to negatively affect readiness, and it's going to substantially harm many military families.

The only conversation worth having is how Black people are overpoliced & over-punished & held to different standards in all aspects of life. That there is an outrage when Black people transgress that isn’t there when their non-Black counterparts do.
