Schrödinger wakes up, groggy, no memory of the last few hours, unsure of his surroundings. He seems to be confined inside some kind of box. There is a strange mechanism at one end. His pulses quickens; from outside he hears a cat purring.

For Texas voters: The Jimmy Kimmel interview of Democratic U.S. senate candidate James Talarico of Texas that the FCC refused to allow broadcast of on Kimmel’s late night show this week.

Twenty-five years ago, this country faced its darkest day and met it with extraordinary courage. In the face of terror, first responders, office workers, and ordinary people chose each other without question or hesitation.

Today, and always, we honor their bravery and the nearly 3,000 lives we lost. You will never be forgotten.

Why does Starlink need 42,000 (+15,000, +100,000) to provide the services that this company can provide with only 264 satellites? And why isn't anybody asking Starlink to show why they need so damn many satellites? (This is the right direction to go with engineering: provide your services with fewer satellites. Kessler is coming.)

It is secondary whether we choose belief or defiance. What is precious is that we are always able to choose.

For some reason the weasels at Google have yet to change the name of New Mexico to New America.

But I said I’d give you $5,000 if Republicans win…😬🤪😳😜

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro on Trump’s attacks on Canada: “He’s isolating America. He’s making us less safe, and he’s making things more costly.”

Trump's “FCC has threatened me, threatened our show, our network, ABC, our affiliates, our local stations based on... guest bookings it would seem they don’t like”...

“My interview tomorrow with James Talarico will not air on tv... you will have to go to the Jimmy Kimmel Live #YouTube channel, where you will see it in its entirety...

because in the #America we live in right now, that is the best that we can do until November.”

A reminder that the problem isn't hijab, nor is the problem women, the problem are people who think it's their place to force their views on women.

Gray whales are washing up dead on the West Coast. The reason is alarming

How Melting Sea Ice Is Starving Whales

Gray whales are mostly bottom-feeders, scooping up mouthfuls of sediment and invertebrates as they swim along the seafloor. They trap shrimplike amphipods and filter out the muck through baleen plates attached to their upper jaws⁠, leaving wallows and billows of mud—a nutrient feast for other organisms—in their wake. This buffet is intricately linked to the Arctic sea ice and the algae that grows beneath it.

When the algae die, they fall through the water column to the seafloor, where they feed the crustaceans that gray whales eat. But with Arctic temperatures skyrocketing, the sea ice is melting earlier and faster, disrupting the food web the whales rely on.
