Spending my lunch break watching a documentary about Ken Griffey, Jr photographing The Masters. Very on brand for me 🤣

Not the Zapps! 😭😱

Earlier today, it was revealed that DOJ was investigating this reporter for her previous unflattering expose on Patel’s drinking. This is the best possible response: another expose of his embarrassing behavior. Kick his ass, Sarah.

I still hear people say they are hesitant to give their kids the HPV vaccine because it’s “too new.” It’s been approved for 20 years. It’s older than the kids who are receiving the vaccine. This new report reviews 274 STUDIES confirming it’s safe and extremely effective.

Angela Morley had two careers, either one of which would be notable. Under her deadname she did the music for the Goon Show, Hancock's Half Hour etc and arranged Scott Walker's first four albums. Post-transition she worked in Hollywood and got three Emmys and an Oscar nomination.

Yes I am.

"Never hallucinate or make anything up." yes, you can just demand that the LLM not make errors that's definitely how the technology works

Aside from trans women, I’d also be concerned about folks who don’t identify as women at these schools. It’s already an uphill battle to fight for fair access on women’s college campuses, bc they’re full of conservatives who hate gender fluid folks on campus already. Speaking from experience here

I just said ‘who cares’ out loud in a meeting

This story adopts, entirely uncritically, Kennedy’s framing for this effort, including his apparent claim that getting off SSRIs is harder than quitting heroin.

WTF? edition.cnn.com/2026/05/05/p...

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

Brightline lost less money last year than it did in 2024, but worries are mounting about its ability to stay solvent. The company's auditor wrote that the rail service “does not currently have the liquid funds necessary to service its debt and meet such other obligations as they become due."

While the world’s eyes are on fashion’s biggest night, we’re turning ours to the garment, retail, and warehouse workers who keep the industry running. From true love found on the picket line to a free tailoring school out of a Brooklyn basement — meet the New Yorkers who make it all possible.

Secret Service shot a kid today

WHERE IS JULIE'S ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN?!?!

read the cornell’s sun original story which is fucking CRAZY

It’s bizarre to me that “we’ll tell teenagers not to have sex” is an official position in tons of places but “we’ll tell eight-year-olds to write their own paragraphs” is like oh no, you can’t do that, deal with reality, get with the program.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

The very first opinion article I wrote for my college newspaper in NYC was about the upcoming mayoral primary and how we can all agree Rudy Giuliani sucks, right? Let's move on from this guy. I finished it up and filed it the evening of Sept. 10, 2001

To anyone tempted to get off tasteless jokes about this: make sure they're funny

Oh no, horsey fell over!

I think it's pretty hilarious that Alex Jones and his crew thought they could, I don't know, internet bully (?) Tim Heidecker

BREAKING: Danco Laboratories, maker of Mifeprex, goes to the Supreme Court, seeking an immediate stay of the Fifth Circuit's Friday mifepristone ruling. Under the Fifth Circuit ruling, FDA's rule that allowed mailing of the medication abortion drug is to be blocked. More to come: www.lawdork.com

hot take: women are less likely to use AI because we’re quick to clock flattery as a tool of manipulation

This is my most chaotic Animal Kingdom photo. The kangaroos were hanging in front of the Tree of Life when one got the zoomies. The bird on the left seemed a bit surprised by the action. Zoom in to see the look of shock on the bird's face.

slept on The Devil Wears Prada 2. really appreciate that in thinking about how and why a sequel to the original would work in 2026, they landed on: "Everything is so much worse now, how would the characters deal with that?" a choice that grounds the movie.

Today (until midnight) is the last day you can register a comment. Take the time you would have spent on social media to do this. They have to read and record every comment, and respond to the substantive ones. Instructions in the blog.

OK now I really can't wait to see it. Thanks to @colemanjspilde.bsky.social for bringing his full self into his work @salon.com for film writing like this. www.salon.com/2026/05/01/t...

Just another normal mail day down here in Florida, why do you ask?

WOOOHOOOO! My only bone to pick is that it feels like that qualifying award list is maybe too limited, but still a great improvement to recognize the creative teams and have another avenue into a nomination.

Saying the South should secede is racism, just of a different sort. And I don't mean "anti-white Southern racism" or anything stupid like that. Just standard, good ole-fashioned racism.

Reminder: I am on my favorite show @taskmaster.tv. Trust me, it'll make you feel better about *gestures out window* all this. It's joyful, hilarious & every single person involved is a kind & lovely human. Episode 4 just came out and it's free on youtube in the US. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bpdo...

Absolutely extraordinary. The Democrats conceded *nothing* and got everything they demanded. They said no ICE/CBP funding, and that's precisely what happened. In other words, they did not cave. At all. But the GOP did—completely.

This program raised me & was legitimately what fed me sometimes when we experienced food insecurity. 📚🍕

He literally had to stop because the bag was full. 100/10 obsessed, and he picked a great range of movies!!!

Even when people do vote, republicans do everything the can to stymie progress. Or undo the results. Or flagrantly gerrymander. We have to start coming up with something better than Vote. That isn’t going to cut it.

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

We really need normies to discover self-insert fanfic and AO3.

Based on two conversations I’ve had in the last 24 hours, we gotta make more actual romcoms before the vernacular becomes that a romcom is just a lighthearted movie with women in it.

This is relevant for Florida's vote on a new congressional map today. The current central Florida majority Hispanic district (predominately Puerto Rican) appears to be no longer protected by the VRA. DeSantis' map splits this community for partisan gerrymandering purposes

My quick read of Callais decision is that the majority says if a racial community votes consistently with a party, then it is okay to deny them representation because that's just partisan gerrymandering

The Florida state House just passed DeSantis' new gerrymander. The governor had basically told lawmakers to disregard Section 2 in anticipation of Callais (which of course came an hour before this vote).

Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

The governor’s office says considering race in drawing a congressional district map is unconstitutional, a position it thinks the U.S. Supreme Court will soon uphold.

1) There's no reason an administrator at NASA should care how a Solar System body is categorized. 2) NASA isn't the org that makes classification determinations for Solar System objects. 3) If Isaacman wants Pluto reclassified again, he can lobby the International Astronomical Union on his own time.
