that time my dad went full on guerrilla activist inside exxonmobil: a thread

my dad is a chemical engineer and spent his whole career there. during the '70s oil crisis, one of his first projects was a pilot oil shale refinery. exxon bought some land in colorado for this, including water rights
water law can get super weird sometimes

back in the early 2000s, my dad got bored at work and spent several months (successfully!) convincing exxonmobil to donate a bunch of water they weren't using to the state and people of colorado during a drought

norman borlaug

plausible bc epstein courted scientists especially hard for a while, and as a nobel laureate I figure borlaug would have been a target

sad bc c'mon, he married margaret gibson in *1937* and they were together until she died in 2007. he went two years later. tale for the ages
who is the person plausibly in the Epstein emails who you would be saddest to discover in the Epstein emails?

My friend @mgerrydoyle.bsky.social wrote a great piece about the Ukrainian drone industry that features the only accurate diagram of a FPV drone that I think I’ve ever seen in a major publication:

Ukrainian Drone Industry’s Next Target Is NATO Markets
Hungry for cash to keep pace with Russia, and with western allies seeking to build up their drone arsenals, Ukraine’s defense companies say exports are finally on the agenda.

the drunkest I've ever been was on jagermeister and the stupid thing is it happened twice

the first time I was trying to be friendly to a finnish grad student and matched him shot for shot

the second time, at a hacker conference, my coauthor had to get me into a cab and put me to bed

never again
I have a few.... that have made me call Earl 🥴

judge immergut: "I asked nicely. now I'm telling you."

istg I could never be a federal judge; I'd constantly be jailing doj attorneys for contempt

"oh now you're sorry? well you can think about how sorry you are for the next 30 days. oh you have a caseload? you can think about that too. bailiff?"
2/ After 3 days of testimony, 750+ exhibits & two post-trial briefs, Judge Immergut asked the gov't to continue the status quo for a week; that is, to refrain from deploying the troops pending a ruling on the merits.

"Defendants declined."

So Judge Immergut issued an immediate five-day injunction.

she is hands down the most attached cat I have ever had

if I'm lying down, she will run up and occupy my whole chest while pressing her head into my hand

it is rather distracting but it sure is adorable
