They always do such a great job with these tributes

As the year comes to a close, TCM remembers the actors, filmmakers and creatives we lost this year. Gone, but never forgotten. Song title and artist: "In the Western Wind and the Sunrise" by Dave Simonett and the Sunrise.



I like how @NFLonCBS & @NFLonFOX commentators say "We've decoded not to replay this injury", which immediately prompts everyone to just use the replay on their TV or streaming service to watch the injury again

The extreme El Niño of 1877 wiped out almost 4% of the global population at the time due to drought, heat waves and famine. A similar global weather event just occurred in 2023, but we did not see 300 million deaths globally. Why not?

From a recent paper on exceptional 1877-1878 famine caused by still unprecedented droughts due to most intense El Niño in recorded history, interesting question how high a 3°C tropical Pacific anomaly would increase global temperatures in absolute terms in late 19th Century.…

Gambling is just a tax on the stupid. Prediction markets are the same thing, dressed up as “investments” by people who think you won’t notice. Remember binary options? They’re hoping you forgot. I didn’t.

Lysenkoism and Malthusianism put in the blender for the second quarter of the 21st Century under the guise of fighting climate change to save the planet🧵

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is really bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: nytimes.com/2025/12/18/opi…

What do military members think about their year-end $1,776 bonus checks? Cadets and servicemen don’t do partisan politics… But they do appreciate a little extra help paying the bills around the holidays. I spoke more with @EricaRHill yesterday on CNN:

Every trader starts in the same place. Trying to be clever. Trying to buy bottoms. Trying to short tops. It feels logical. It feels sophisticated. You convince yourself you’re early… open.substack.com/pub/aaoresearc…


Ok, so I wasn't imagining that a whistle blew just as the ball crossed the line. Was that even part of the review process? The @NFL should broadcast the full discussion between the booth & refs for transparency, such as the ACC & @espn have done this year for college football

Rams robbed.😬 You can clearly hear a whistle before the ball is recovered by the Seahawks in the wild 2 point call reversal play.

We actually have historical precedent for this. When guilds collapsed, so did apprenticeships. Young craftsmen defected to factories, and societies lost the slow, embodied skill transmission that produced things like the stonework of Notre Dame. Productivity rose—but…

One of the best engineers I ever hired failed the technical interviews. We told him he didn't make it. He was crushed. But there was something about him that impressed us, so we called him back and offered him an entry-level QA analyst job. To his credit, he swallowed his…

Swear I heard a quick whistle right after the ball rolls into the end zone. Still a backwards pass, which would make it an “inadvertent whistle” and the attempt would need to be made again, I believe

Do I now need to toggle my TL preference from "For You" to "Following" every single time I visit? Can this platform no longer remember a simple setting?

Beware on @polymarket with bogus weather markets. High at NYC La Guardia was 30°F but market resolved to 29°F because the idiots use Weather Underground hourly obs instead of the daily high at NWS. e.g. wunderground.com/history/daily/…

High at NYC LGA was 30°F @Polymarket Free money. Not sure why this resolves to Weather Underground when the NWS daily high is already 30°F today polymarket.com/event/highest-…
