@vanhollen.senate.gov Can you remind military leaders that invading Greenland without congressional authorization would be illegal and unconstitutional. Thanks.

Anything is a Christmas movie if you believe hard enough. Fifth Element? An innocent is born outside of human union who will save humanity. A Quiet Place? You better watch out, you better not cry etc.

My animation of Mercury's escaping sodium exosphere over the course of a Mercury year. The only thing that changes is the magnitude of radiation pressure which is a function of where Mercury is in its orbit. Without radiation pressure, nothing would escape.

Someone in downtown Baltimore squeegeed my windshield without asking me first, so you can't convince me that crime isn't up.
Took my family to DC and I was forced to see a lot of Brutalist architecture so you can’t convince me that crime isn’t up.

I’m pretty sure my car has a speed limit sign sensor. It doesn’t pop up the speed limit until I pass a speed limit sign. Not that my car isn’t tracking me, just that this isn’t evidence.
many incredibly dumb replies/quoteskeets from car perverts but i think my favourite genre is 'this would require a surveillance state'. any car made in the last decade or so already knows what the speed limit is! most of the time it shows you on the dashboard! imbeciles
My least popular (and most correct) view is that cars should be automatically limited to the local speed limit. Put the pedal to the floor and you still can't go over 25mph in a residential area.

I’m going to put this here even no one will see it: We’re very close to conservatives arguing that they aren’t racist they let Jackie Robinson into the major leagues because he was the first black person to prove he was good enough.

I bought the McCoy Tyner record for $1. Two discs, each with a different trio. One is Tyner, Ron Carter (who I saw last month), and Tony Williams. It looks like Tony Williams autographed it.

@alansiegella.bsky.social I’m reading “Stupid TV, Be More Funny.” Just got to the part about the marketing deal with Butterfingers. Summer or 1990 I was working at a movie theater, and I had to wear a Bart Simpson “Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger” button. Really wish I still had that.
