Every single Div 1 college football game looks like this.

🇦🇹 This is the “collapsed continent” according to MAGA. Meanwhile Europe is dancing in ski boots, drinking beer, and having a great time. Most of the people yelling about Europe have never been outside Utah.

The extent to which the fifth season of Stranger Things feels like homework cannot be overstated. Just a slog.


When you learn engineering, you learn the massive ecological disasters by the soviets. Acid rain bc they never bothered with scrubbers, heavily polluted rivers, the Taiga experiment, etc

This is a very important paper that, as far as I can tell, has received surprisingly little attention so far on Twitter, so I thought I'd do a quick summary to encourage people to read it. The authors make the point that, when studies estimate the impact of immigration on wages…

I can’t stop laughing.


No teams this weekend should be competing for the NC. That’s the problem.

I genuinely feel bad for these JMU players…they are a good football team who should be competing for a national championship on the appropriate level…now, most will only remember them for tonight…not their fault that CFB can’t figure out a proper post-season structure



Ppl really don’t get the wild variance in weather across the Great Plains. And yes, KC is basically in the Great Plains. Just like MSP and Dallas and Austin.

I would never have guessed that Kansas City had 22x as many subzero days as NYC



Sigh. I just wish my fellow cf fans were smarter.

The fact that the NFL is playing on Saturday during the College Football Playoff is absurd.



There is a weird disconnect where no one rightly believes the absurd Econ impact numbers of new stadium, but the same bad methods are A-Ok for college sports.

This weekend's College Football Playoff game at Ole Miss is projected to generate at least $74 million in economic impact for the city of Oxford.

1) Climate change is real, tangibly harmful, and standard climate models did a solid job of predicting changes thus far. Doomsday predictions were due to a lack of understanding about how the price system and markets work. 2) The population models Ehrlich et al used work fine…

There are 3 more conventional wisdoms that turned out to be wrong: > climate change is going to kill us all unless we decarbonize now and achieve net zero > earth is too populated we need less people > abandoning manufacturing and becoming a pure service economy is a great…



These ppl are very far removed from how society is largely functioning around them, so yeah, they are going to have a distorted understanding of the world.

so many extraordinary scientists and mathematicians were marxists or other variety of communist, socialist, or leftist. the destruction of left-wing politics in the STEM disciplines was truly one of the Western Bloc's greatest ideological victories in the Cold War.



But the number corn/ag isn’t really correct either. 80-90% of that number is just rainfall in these areas, not irrigation. Not that there isn’t issues, but it’s not as crazy as that sounds.

This but unironically #FarmersAreEvil
