I am very saddened to hear that Prof. Joel Primack (UCSC) passed away today. He was a huge figure in the field of galaxy formation & was a mentor to many of today’s leading practitioners. His work — often with Faber & Blumenthal — helped establish the now-standard cold dark matter model of cosmology

For the first time all year, Democrats were riding high and the regime was on the ropes.

If Senate leadership’s goal was to demobilize and depress rank-and-file Democrats, they could not have played their cards better.

This is why we’ve launched the largest primary program that we’ve ever run.
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

These are the eight Senators who are selling out on the Schumer #Shutdown. Democrats, time to take a page from the constantly winning MAGA Playbook and primary the living shit out of all eight who're Durbin/IL, King/ME, Kaine/VA, Fetterman/PA, Shaheen/NH, Hassan/NH, Cortez Mastro/NV and & Rosen/NV.

Everyone in the caucus has to be assumed to be in on it, unless they denounce it and call for new leadership.

Will you call for Schumer's resignation?

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The whole GOP shutdown strategy is hoping that sheer force of propaganda can convince the public that things getting worse does not reflect badly on the people in charge of the government, and that hurting America more will get Democrats to acquiesce to the Trump admin hurting America in other ways.

“If they are using tear gas, they better be able to back it up,” U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Oct. 28. “And if they can’t, then they will lose that as something they can use.”
Federal immigration agents have deployed gas in Little Village, on 26th between Komensky and Pulaski, per videos shared online after 11 am this morning.

Putting everything else aside, I cannot tell you how much it irrationally pisses me off that people post this stuff when Mamdani is Shi'a.

GOD DAMMIT THE ISLAMIC STATE IS FUCKING SUNNI
Joe Gebbia, a billionaire, is the co-founder of AirBnB, a presidential appointee and a Tesla board member claiming ISIS waited until the last minute to endorse Mamdani.

I decided this morning that I will now approach every online video I see as fake - and attempt to be doubly wary if it supports or illustrates my main prejudices.
Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start

If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

With that loss, the Blue Jays have not won a World Series for 32 years.

They have won two since the last #Reds win.
