Orange fluffy cat inside my car.

I have to go to work and this is not my cat.

I love old flying machines. I love new flying machines. I love how people have been using their ingenuity to solve the dream of flight for ages.
Did I mention I’m building a flying machine in my living room?

That hug 😭

Brilliant brushwork

Anecdotal, but I worked in tech before entering academic life. There was a distinct push towards gamification. The idea was that you could push game mechanics into all manner of apps and thereby drive engagement. So that’s why you have a reading streak, I think.

Thanks for sharing. Great piece. I learned too.

Our train Paris - Zurich hit a cow. We limped to a tiny station. Currently waiting for a regional train to take us to Dijon. Then many many switches to Zurich. It’s a day.

It should really be illegal for government officials to be so clueless, so dense, and so ideological.

“Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life."

It's 2026 and I agree with the Pope

Bruce Springsteen is making me a fan... Opening his concert in Los Angeles yesterday, worth the wait to see the transition to the opening song 90 seconds in. ✌️❤️🇺🇸 #Resist

I appreciate the dark humor! But seriously, yeah - it's a mess. I feel awful for them. And especially painful is that the USAID project sounded really important. And just gone.

Thanks for the John Oliver link. I'll check it out asap.

Today, I got a job application from Central Asia. The candidate speaks 5 languages, has a masters in law and international relations, and was laid off when Musk & Trump killed USAID.

They're highly qualified but not right for this PhD.

Musk & Trump & co. are doing so much damage, it's unreal

We're living through the doom loop once again.

The press continues to sane-wash an obviously INSANE American president. 😳👇

Personally i think congress and the press should stop enabling him BEFORE he uses a nuclear weapon

He says this entire thing has been about reminding Americans about the value of democracy and not to take things for granted. Warns us about authoritarianism and how easy it is to fall for nazism. He drops the act, resigns, rides off into the sunset.

Trump doesn't own the White House. He doesn't own the legal system. He has no right to ignore the Constitution. He doesn't own NATO or America's historic allies. He doesn't own the military. He doesn't own the U.S. Treasury.

US Ally Turkmenistan (AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES SOON) built incredible statues honoring your Favorite President (TRUMP). Many say these are the best statues the World has ever seen, even better than the "Golden Calf"! Wait for the TRUMP PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY Thank you for your attention to this matter

Cauchemar. Merci d’avoir partagé

Yes, exactly! The Book!! We can so easily imagine that The One Special Boy will have a great book ghostwritten and have it installed nationwide via the newly-gutted dept of education 🙃

Turkmenistan's dictator Niyazov (1991-2006) built a cult of personality around his name and a lot of gold.

See 0:42. Niyazov had a golden statue of himself that rotated to face the sun. Renamed cities, airports, streets. Gave every citizen a watch with his face on it. Amazing to see it here.

Check this video and note the golden statue of himself at 0:42. Reminds me of Niyazov's statue of himself in Turkmenistan.

Also, wtaf.

This is too insane not to share. Thank you!

@unroll.skywriter.blue unroll please

Displays of “dominance” are so tiresome, no? Wealth, size (of house, truck, TV, whatever), and especially academic discipline.

It’s so regressive, but also just silly. I wish they themselves could see how silly it is, and how the crowing reveals as they are, rather than how they wish to appear

Terrifyingly accurate representation of American politics at the moment 🫠
