The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.
NEW: DOJ is justifying President Trump's ban on media orgs by citing stories about sensitive topics like depleted U.S. munitions, the war in Iran, Trump's ballroom security features and ... bad "vibes" at the GOP midterm convention w/ @joshgerstein.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/09...

Do we really have 900+ issues every two years that need a bill? I imagine some percent are resolutions declaring Congress's support for Apple Pie or whatever, but still ...that seems high?

US Customs and Border Protection data shows that 80% of those arrested for smuggling fentanyl at US ports of entry were US citizens. That’s a very different narrative than what we’ve heard for years from MAGA.
If there was a second "N" in today's Outlier, I could've made "antediluvian." Dangit. I bet that's pretty rare.
I will never stop loving thunderstorms. Yes, there's danger, yes the power goes out (only for a second this time!), but still ... wow! This one had some of the loudest, if not *the* loudest, cracks of thunder I've ever heard. Not long rolling peals, just super loud cracks. 1/
Technically, "Frankenstein" is the name of the Wizard, and Billy Batson just shouts it to invoke the wizard's magic and turn into Captain Marvel.

Very excited to share what we built at @economicsecurityproject.org: the Affordability Dashboard. There's a bunch of scattered data I'm always pulling, stuff useful for politicos, reporters, and activists on affordability, so we put it in one place. /1 economicsecurityproject.org/resource/aff...

What's a weirdly-specific and fairly mundane superpower you wish you had? I'd like the ability to consistently tear off usable sheets of plastic wrap that don't twist up.
This story is crazy. It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists. www.notus.org/national/ame...
Suspicion and Doubt at the National Civics Contest
America’s finest young scholars competed to mark their country's birthday. It led to a disputed finish in the age of mistrust.

Isn't Trump's authorization for the war in Iran like, way expired by now? Did congress vote to authorize it?
