@MeetThePress But…he IS the rift. It’s a logisticians vs worshipers battle. Worshipers usually win the first rounds.

Trump may need to ‘personally’ get involved to fix rift with Senate Republicans: Analysis nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…

@Amy_Siskind Grumpy sad girls?

There’s something similar about the four cabinet members pushed out by Trump, but I can’t quite put my finger on it 🤔🤔

@paul_jkrause Great stuff. I always wonder if these people were great profs first or if the war made mediocre poets sublime?

One of the most powerful collections of poems you can ever read.

@Evolutionistrue I’ve heard it referred to as ‘expensive massage with a white coat.’

The NYT reviews chiropractic, saying that it can be useful for lower back pain, but not much else, while other sources say it's not useful for anything, and can be harmful or even fatal. whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/05/21/the…

@Amy_Siskind @IndianaFever What’s with Fever?

@IndianaFever Well, the only good news is to prices in other cities are plunging now too for fever games. You’re blowing it.

break it down in the locker room with us after the dub 👏

@SoulCultivated Silly question.

Which book stays, which goes? Anna Karenina vs. The Brothers Karamazov Tolstoy or Dostoevsky?

Something I don’t get except what’s good for the goose clearly isn’t good for the gander. How is it that the MAGA head ridicules anyone who doesn’t praise him and has talked smack about previous presidents but now want to pay people who were offended by the dems. Should reporters called Piggy receive a retirement from the fund?

NEW: Brian Morrissey, the Treasury’s general counsel, resigned over Trump’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” that could soon make payments his political allies.

@MeetThePress Or, said another way, if you bash the golden idol, you will pay the price.

Lindsey Graham: Bill Cassidy's loss shows 'there's no room in this party to destroy' Trump's agenda nbcnews.com/meet-the-press…

@pati_marins64 Before ‘quality of competence’ one needs competence.

If Trump manages to maneuver better than he did in March on Iran and succeeds in taking action in Cuba along the lines of what was done in Venezuela, he will still be in the running for the midterm elections. Experienced politicians are always looking for a bamboo straw to breathe. But all of this would depend on the quality of the competence applied to these events.

Imagine telling the Pope to “stay out of politics” then broadcasting yourselves reading the Bible over the nation and holding a worship service in D.C. to “rededicate the nation to God” and somehow not see the blatant hypocrisy.

@curiouswavefn Very similar to what Gell-Mann said of Feynman. But more succinct.

"Geniuses, the mathematician Paul Halmos wrote, “are of two kinds: the ones who are just like all of us, but very much more so, and the ones who, apparently, have an extra human spark. We can all run, and some of us can run the mile in less than 4 minutes; but there is nothing that most of us can do that compares with the creation of the Great G-minor Fugue.” Nash’s genius was of that mysterious variety more often associated with music and art than with the oldest of all sciences. It wasn’t merely that his mind worked faster, that his memory was more retentive, or that his power of concentration was greater. The flashes of intuition were non-rational. Like other great mathematical intuitionists - Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann, Jules Henri Poincaré, Srinivasa Ramanujan - Nash saw the vision first, constructing the laborious proofs long afterward. But even after he’d try to explain some astonishing result, the actual route he had taken remained a mystery to others who tried to follow his reasoning. Donald Newman, a mathematician who knew Nash at MIT in the 1950s, used to say about him that “everyone else would climb a peak by looking for a path somewhere on the mountain. Nash would climb another mountain altogether and from that distant peak would shine a searchlight back onto the first peak.” - Sylvia Nasar, A Beautiful Mind

@ScienceMagazine @NewsfromScience A sad day for drinking coffee. I neither need nor want a machine to report on the quality of the coffee I drink. Just seeing this stupid—ass report would destroy the pleasure of it.

Coffee snobs have a new rival: chemistry. Passing an electric current through a cup of black coffee could give a fast, reliable read on its strength and roast level, according to a new study. Learn more: scim.ag/42iCUKM @NewsfromScience

@Evolutionistrue Reading it now. What a great writing voice.

I recommend this book very, very highly. whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/05/15/rai…

@athenaeumbc I would struggle with the subject but slay quantum physics. Might even invent a couple of equations.

This is a 1902 Oxford scholarship exam. How would you do?

@drsjcostello How would this develop within an evolutionary framework? Evolution benefits the group only as a function of benefiting the individual. It seems To be an idea of origins beginning with results.

Consciousness is participatory not merely phenomenological. Voegelin’s position.

@CailinasEirinn Truthy. I’m Memorizing this.

BTW if you see someone stealing diapers/baby food, no, you didn’t. Whip out your wallet. 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I retired and then taught high school chem For a year. On the third test of the quarter, I handed out a study guide and a girl stood up and said NO, THIS IS NOT A STUDY GUIDE. I was new and assumed I did something wrong so I asked her. This is NOT a study guide, She repeated. I WANT THE ANSWERS. I assured her that if she studied these topics, she’ll do great. If you study all about isotopes you’ll Slam the section about isotopes. She was having none of it. I wany answers, she said. I want to study the answers. She told Me I had A LOT to learn if I wanted to be a teacher. Oh well

What would happen if I started my semester with a quiz like this one? Do you think students would rise to the occasion and want to reclaim education for higher ends?
