Jeff Piotrowski (TwisterChasers on YT) is my favorite storm chaser and his coverage of Hurricane Milton tonight has been great, but the visuals here fall short of his excitement and descriptions. I know, we don't see or feel all of what's happening, but this got me 😂

A lot of discussion about how to handle "troll politics" would be helped by popularizing the term "reactionary"
Y'know like, "don't be a reactionary asshole"
Or "trumpist politics is exploiting the unique American deference to reactionary sentiment"
Something like that

Rand Paul: "It might be ironic if in the end the protectionist flavor of the day - the tariffs we're putting on - brought together our enemies & ultimately led to the collapse of the reserve currency of the world... if you put a 50% tariff on Indian goods, India will become closer to China & Russia"

Why, are we like...paying Copilot or something?
My boss: Can't you get Copilot to validate the info in the spreadsheet?

Boss: What's the point of Copilot then?
Me: Exactly.

A hopeful outlook on AI
We're definitely entering an era where the Internet is so hollowed out, so untrustworthy and compromised, that real world interactions, things identifiably done by human beings, will take on greater value and purpose.

You'd think "pterosaurs" & "kink-shaming" are two things that couldn't go hand-in-hand, and yet, a homoerotic scandal between two intellectual equals led to the discovery of the first pterosaur. Buckle in for some Crazy Rich Prussians & their unlikely connection to the discovery of pterosaurs 🧵
