@bunsenbernerbmd That’s not what he was thinking about…. He’s thinking about shrinkage.

What what Bernoulli thinking about?

@bunsenbernerbmd Dude… this photo isn’t of an old English.

The Old English Sheepdog, with its historical roots and endearing qualities, is a wonderful companion for the right owner. Consider the grooming commitment, living space, and activity level to ensure a harmonious life with this lovable, shaggy friend!

Ok, it's time to look at a dog with hair that could land it in a shampoo commercial. It's a dog with a long flowing coat, a zest for life, and drive to herd. Have you guessed which breed it is? It's the Old English Sheepdog. Let's learn together! 🧵

@CraftyCatDad I’m so old I have no idea what the word even is and I’m okay with that.

@TheHofstatter @cmclymer This is not the argument you may think it is.

@cmclymer You can disagree with him, but saying he’s a fake catholic is like saying Schumer is a fake Jew. Not a good look for Trump, and not a good look for you.

If J.D. Vance is a Catholic, I’m a NASCAR driver.

@CraftyCatDad Virginia is a thing but the Midwest is a whole ‘nother level. Good for you to be ensconced in SoCal!

@CraftyCatDad Welcome to the Midwest?

@BeverlyWendlin1 @cmclymer Jesus Christ you’re stupid. Actually you’re likely a bot set to ‘bootlick’ and not worth anyone’s time.

@cmclymer It was low. Trump completed the job of no nuclear weapons for Iran thus protecting the USA. No boots on the ground. All through air command. This needed done and Trump was the only POUTUS in 47 years with the spine to do it.

Last week, I was at a friend's birthday gathering at a crowded bar in D.C. and I somehow wound up in conversation with a small group of people about the war in Iran. One of them fully supported the war and fully supported Trump. I politely sipped my drink and waited for the convo to move on. I didn't really want to talk about this during what was meant to be a laidback evening. But then he said this: "The death toll has been surprisingly low for our military." I asked him: "How do you mean?" "Well, we've had a small number of troops killed, less than ten." "Thirteen," I said. "Thirteen troops have been killed in combat." "Right," he said. "That's a surprisingly low number. We've had a low fatality rate." And, you know, I just couldn't let that go. I couldn't. "Surprisingly low?" He said: "Yeah, it could be much worse. We could have lost a lot more soldiers at this point." I asked him: "Can you name any of the service members who were killed?" "What?" "Thirteen service members have been killed. Do you know any of their names?" There was this long, awkward pause. And then he said: "I know some of their names have been published." I said: "All of their names have been published. The last KIA was a few weeks ago. Do you know any of their names?" Another long pause and then finally: "No, I don't." Let me offer some friendly advice for anyone like this gentleman who is tempted to say this was a "surprisingly low" number of service members killed. Don't make this observation if it's just a number to you. Every one of these service members had loved ones, friends, a life back home. Some of them had kids. Some of them had mortgages and front lawns to mow. Some of them had grills in their backyard they would have been using for parties with people they loved this summer. Now they're gone, and their families and friends are always going to feel that loss. You shouldn't be saying something like "surprisingly low" in the first place but especially when you don't know any of their names. If U.S. military fatalities are "surprisingly low," it shouldn't take you any time at all to learn their names. Friendly advice.

@cmclymer I agree with most of these but I’m rooting for ‘Golden’ for best song.

@ChefReactions Also sliced and fried spam with a fried egg over toast.

@ChefReactions Yep. Love an opened can of cold baked beans and a spoon. Also a can of tuna and some frozen peas added into Kraft dinner. If it works it works.

@ChefReactions Enjoy the opener! I have it gone to one, decades ago at Tiger Stadium…. Special time.

I am all for amplifying the voices of Iranians who are living there, but it's pretty clear Twitter is being flooded with bot accounts created recently. It's not hard to check. Make sure you do check before amplifying an account claiming to be an Iranian.

@engeljen Yeah… no. The Miracle was against the Soviet Team. If you’re going to quote history learn it first.

Because the U.S. Men had not won gold is 46 years and that win was a miracle. No really, they still call it The Miracle on Ice. Also, Hellebuyck had to stand on his head for that W. Against arch-hockey-nemesis Canada. Not everything has to be equal. Enough.

Hey Chicago whaddaya say? Let’s keep supporting local businesses, especially restaurants. Don’t know if it’s because I was there really early (4:30 pm) on a Thursday at the beginning of Ramadan, but @PitaInn was almost empty and that’s criminal. These folks work too hard!

@Emptydata Oh damn. Bunsen sends hugs to you

Rest easy sweet gentle girl. At 9.3 years you were in bernese overtime but we still didn't expect yesterday would be the day we said goodbye. I would have done anything, but you made the hardest decision for us. 🌈 #dogsofX

I laughed so loud the dog was concerned.

@cmclymer Filthy, and glorious.

Beautiful.

@zillowgonewild Oh good lord I need a cigarette.

Love the LAH

One of the most chill places you can live to gET AWAY FROM IT ALL is in La Quinta, CA and I am liking the vibe of this mediterranean home. This one is on the water, has fairway views of the la quinta country club and was designed by BARRY A. BERKUS, FAIA (it’s fun to say Barry Berkus?) currently listed for only $3,950,000

@marktournier2 @HustleBitch_ Plenty of space to run a staircase so I’m not sure why the ladder was put in. Raise the HVAC and it’s simple.

@HustleBitch_ You notice they skipped the part of him going up the ladder. You just have to carefully maneuver around the ac unit. Imagine putting furniture up there!

🚨 “OZEMPIC HOUSES” ARE GOING VIRAL - AND PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED BY WHAT’S INSIDE This real estate agent is walking through a brand new 350 square foot house built by Lennar. There's no real bedroom. No real closet. You have to climb a ladder to get to the loft. The shower looks like it belongs on a boat. Every inch is compressed, stripped, and downsized. They’re selling it as homeownership for $130,000. Payments are in the $900/month range. Only $1 down. Some people call it freedom. Others call it dystopian as hell. Would you actually live here?

@cmclymer @NickKristof 60 here, and same. You want to go to college you better darn well be well-rounded.

@NickKristof Sir, I’m 39, and this wasn’t even the case for my high school class. The top students were often also athletes. You may wanna do a bit of field work in American high schools. We’re not living in a John Hughes movie anymore.

What if the cool kids in American schools were the valedictorians, not the jocks? My column on lessons from Asia: nytimes.com/2026/02/07/opi…
