I run a particle accelerator. Sometimes I also do websites. Still watching out for Triangle Man.

On Tuesday, when two gunmen opened fire in Tel Aviv near his home, Kreitman leapt into action, shooting one of them.

A video circulating on WhatsApp shows Kreitman, who has long hair in a bun and is wearing a pink T-shirt, firing a handgun at an unseen target.

Absolutely heartbroken to learn of Dikembe Mutombo's untimely passing. A story: one day in 2010, I got the most random phone call to my office at Morehouse. It was Dikembe's personal assistant, asking if I'd be willing to meet at his office to talk about the D.R. Congo. Obviously I said yes. (1/n)
'Larger than life' Mutombo dies of brain cancer
Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo, the "larger than life" center who played 18 NBA seasons, has died of brain cancer at the age of 58, the league announced Monday.

YOUR HISTORY TEACHER NEVER TOLD YOU-

*me, checks lecture notes* I definitely told you.

YOUR TEXTBOOK LEFT OUT-

Me: It is on page 37 and again on 54.

HISTORIANS NEVER ADMIT-

Me: Look will you just admit already that you slept through class?

I feel like a lot of people must have had their sense of humor surgically removed.

I've reached a special milestone here on BlueSky. Someone told me to kill myself.

I was on Twitter for years before that happened there.

Do I really need to explain why this is actually a pro-Harris piece?

Kamala Harris ran her office like a prosecutor. Not everyone liked that.
After a difficult first year as vice president, Harris has grown into her role — and found staff who respond better to her style, allies say

5 is the pick if you want an uneventful flight. Vance has no facility for human communication, so I doubt I'd hear a peep out of him for the whole trip and I'm sure I could intimidate him out of the armrest.

On the other hand, seat 9 might get me a handie, so there's that.

Kamala Harris has promised that, as President, she will force George R.R. Martin to release Winds of Winter before the 2026 mid-term elections.
