Just bought travel insurance for my trip to Puerto Vallarta on Friday because I'm getting increasingly nervous about my flights 😬 www.npr.org/2025/11/05/n...

In hindsight it’s too bad that Y2K didn’t shut down all of the computers.

My latest story for #Medford voters: A proposed hotel tax increase would make Medford's the highest in the region, and among the top 4 in the state. It would help fund a major conference center for the city. www.ijpr.org/politics-gov...

Oct 13th - The #hackers discover that the Da Vinci virus was a distraction for a hidden worm designed to steal $25m, and the virus is going to capsize an oil fleet the next day as a distraction for the theft. 📽️📅 Hackers (1995)

Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable." I will show you why this rarely leads to good outfits. 🧵

I'll be honest, been expecting this for months. He's definitely been less of a presence on the airwaves recently and focusing more on book + tours

Hello, I'm a journalist in a film. I will set up an elaborate cork board with pictures and string connecting the dots on my investigation. I will never be seen filing public records requests or sitting for hours listening to boring city council meetings.

Today, President Trump signed a bill into law that will eliminate $1.1B of federal funding for public media. This devastating act tipped the threat against journalism in America into a crisis. Millions depend on the NPR Network. Now, we’re counting on you. Donate here: n.pr/458sOhq

when they close it all up, I do believe this will go down as the funniest video on the internet

Finished Wind and Truth and jumped straight into a nonfiction book on the history of Sicily. The whiplash is wilddddd #booksky

back on my Mooyazaki bs

Ah yes, because an exclusive article is meant to be a secret and only shown to staff at the WSJ.

This makes me sad. I wish more people read, it's the best. 📖

GOOD MORNING IT IS A GREAT DAY TO KEEP REPORTING THE NEWS

Hello just wanted to say: Public media is a useful public good. It is a source of great local news at a time when local news is being decimated. Also, in my 10 years in public media, I can say people who work here do it because they believe in the mission of informing people. Just noting.

Love how they managed to make a lounge with seating that is even more uncomfortable than the ones at the gate.

I won a first place #PMJA award for this environmental story I did last year. It's honestly one of my favorites, so happy it's got some recognition. @pmja.bsky.social @jpradio.bsky.social #PubMedia #PMJAAwards www.ijpr.org/environment-...

Ok this is what I was able to come up with. This was a bit hard but there were some pretty clear ones, including La La Land, Parasite and Spirited Away. #nyt #movies

I was gonna say this. It's not a crazy treatment to try if you have acid reflux. I have literally used Betaine HCL before and it does help, sometimes low stomach acid levels can cause reflux. The important thing is I did it with my doctor and nutritionist.

Can someone please tell me why American toilet stalls are so much worse than European ones? Like why cant floor to ceiling walls and little green/red occupied indicators be standard in every stall in the US???

You know what I really don't like about food packaging in the UK (probably Europe as a whole), they only tell you the weight of the food, not how many pieces there are. If I buy a package of shortbread, how do I know if 150 grams is 4 cookies or 15?

Not sure if I've ever seen a place charge you more to eat in? I guess because they heat it up? Seems silly though. #Scotland #Travel

Went to a Trad session at a local pub last night. I lovedddd it, they were so talented and fun! And people just kept showing up, I think there were 14 musicians in the end?? A must see while in Scotland #Scotland #celticmusic #Glasgow

Pro tip for those travelling to Europe, especially the UK & Ireland. Those "travel sim cards" like Airalo are kind of a scam. Find a local mobile provider that doesn't require a local address and just get a prepaid sim card.

To keep my mind off everything else happening in the world, I've decided to get really into the conclave and the future pope. As a recovering Catholic it's my right. www.bbc.com/news/article...

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u... “These are among the most intelligent students in the world, who we are entrusting to go to war,” said alumnus William Marks. “What does this say about the Pentagon if they don’t trust these young men and women to have access to these books in the library?”

Me when I go to the grocery store today now that the tariffs have kicked in.

This is only true if you don’t adjust for inflation. Video game systems were low-key hella expensive when we were kids!

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

I'm at @jeff-merkley.bsky.social's town hall today in Ashland. Almost at capacity in the high school gym here after Friday's CR vote in the Senate. #JPR #Publicradio #Oregonnews

Some pretty stunning answers here from DHS Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar in today's interview with NPR's Michel Martin, in which Edgar equates pro-Palestinian protests with terrorist activity and can't point to any crime committed by Mahmoud Khalil: npr.org/2025/03/13/n...

Gotta commend @michelmartinnpr.bsky.social for this morning's interview with the DHS asst secretary. Great to see when hosts stay firm on their questions.

Please rise for the national music video 🫡

The Fifth Element is one of the greatest movies ever made change my mind (you can't)

Me listening to Mayhem nonstop on my flights back home. #mayhem #gaga

Not to like toot my own horn but *every time* I bring up tariffs on the radio I define them: "tariffs are taxes American businesses pay to import goods from abroad." Given all the lies and the fact that many Americans didn't take international economics 101, I encourage others to do this as well.

I swore I would never write this game but I forgot February only has 28 days, and I needed an easy win for the Patreon before the month ended, so here is "Trapped in an Elevator with Ayn Rand" the One Page RPG

It’s time for the Milk Hotel to choose a side

I am going to be so pissed if--after everything--I do, in fact, die of dysentery.

Reading this book right now by @benjamincarterhett.bsky.social and its hard not to see the many parallels between Weimar Germany and modern day democracies. Interesting to see how some of the mistakes of that government came down to one person's ego. #history 💙📚

Kinda reminds me of Kurt von Schleicher, the last chancellor of Weimar Germany before Hitler. He worked behind the scenes for years to court the far-right and believed he could work with the Nazis without giving them all the power. He was assassinated shortly after Hitler came to power.

Hot take #booksky, but I am not a fan of those "book/movie/TV show challenges" where you post only the covers or posters for 30 days with no explanation. I wanna hear why that piece of media is important to you! Tell me more!
