New study on mule deer in Wyoming reveals that migration is critical to maintain a robust population. I got the chance to chat with lead author Anna Ortega and @wyokauffman.bsky.social about their recent @currentbiology.bsky.social research: www.uwyo.edu/news/2026/02...

The thing I think gets lost in this is that the dumb rich kids *are* what makes the fancy schools the fancy schools. The benefit of going to Georgetown isn’t that it has better classes, it’s that you might become friends with a Cheney family friend

Fuck it tell me full honesty your top five favorite bands/artists and nobody's allowed to tell you that you have poor taste unless it's an objectively bad person

The funniest thing was our teach tape was mostly 2012 Shanahan offense because there was no film from the year before, and everyone in the RB room was like “Uh, coach, we aren’t physically capable of moving like Alfred Morris”

Fundamentals help but also some people really are just built different even compared to other NFL players

The Boreal Avian Modelling Centre is hiring a postdoctoral fellow to develop high-resolution, Canada-wide models of waterbird density.

The models will be used as indicators of local wetland health and large-scale environmental change.

Open until filled!

F-47 going to be crewed like a Compass Call, I guess

I’m just a dunce, but won’t the single-seater platform constrain CCA effectiveness? Seems like a lot to put on one crewmember

The difference between his nonfiction and fiction writing voices is always jarring to me

Not even listed, how does that do compared to others listed?

Seems like increasingly peers don’t care—bothers me to no end

My wife and I both go by Jessi/e and it makes introductory small talk very easy

If this happens, it will be absolutely hilarious to see the Jims from Chippewa Falls of the world collectively do a 180 on the MLF extension

Wim van Leeuwen and I are looking for a postdoc. Come work with us!

Good chance a Smith offense would be better than a Kubiak one

Bold move to go with a base defense here—gonna give up a lot of explosives that way

It’s totally fine to ignore Hanania

Ulbrich is staying in Atlanta

Considered in parallel with DK, I am beginning to make some inferences about John Schneider’s draft interviews

Except in 10 years everybody is going to be like “oh yeah, that was the year Drake Maye became a dude”

Buying MLF stock while it’s low, Packers stay winning
