If someone had introduced me to the concept of flavor scientist when I was a kid, I would have had a very different educational and career path.

Update: I am sorry to announce they taste like Oreos with some yellow food dye in them.

if think tanks acknowledge what trumpism is (incoherent and vibes-based), they have to face their own crisis of relevance as institutions that pump out policy papers and provide advice to movers and shakers. pretending there's some policy process that makes sense is a way to avoid grappling w this

On March 26, the NY Transit Museum is celebrating the start of another Mets season with a Nostalgia Ride to the Mets Home Opener! ⚾ This year's vintage Redbird train will leave from 34 St-Hudson Yards at 11 a.m., making stops along the 7 line all the way to Mets-Willets point!

Well, I know hell, damn, bi-

I was taught cursive as a kid (Catholic school). I now write in a mix of cursive and print that I devised for myself after deciding the cursive versions of certain letters like s, r, and z were ugly.

For the love of god someone buy the cat a watch.

Is it: Bigots, and See previous answer?

When I was 11 I won a design an ad contest where the prize was $50, I was so pumped to buy some sick Legos until I found out it wasn't cash it was a Patriot Bond I'd have to wait decades to be able to use. I'm pleased to report I cashed it today and immediately went and bought some sick ass Legos

Holy shit an exception to Betteridge’s Law.

But what did the pastor really mean? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/u...

I'm really concerned with how many people have no resources and no support system and are navigating this moment in full blown mental health crisis.

To my WoSo friends: you don’t need to argue about last year’s awards right now. Come together in this difficult time. Hold your loved ones. Make fun of Chris Armas as one.

It's a testament to how human beings can compartmentalize that I'm even able to sleep for 4 hours a night at this point. This country "led" by this man is dangerously careening.

Hot take: No Kings is good and if you have the time and capacity, you should go to a protest on Saturday.

I had to click the link and OF COURSE that man isn't American! No offense to Black people outside of America, but you don't know how poisonous the entertainment industry is to Black Americans and why. Antisemitism won't dismantle white supremacy. It's a pacifier used by bigots to perpetuate it.

This is possibly the worst thing I have ever seen

Hey. I decided to do a wellness check on the timeline. If you see this: pause. Think of something soft and quiet and peaceful that makes you happy. Take a deep breath. Close your eyes and unclench your jaw. Release. … Its not much, but I hope it helped you. Be well, friends. ❤️👍🏾

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

NASA might have been the coolest organization on planet earth — a real life/larger than life organization that the smartest people in the world respected, kids dreamed their whole life of working for, & even Hollywood couldn’t make larger than it already was. So of course Trump ruined it in a year.

The actual reality of what’s going on with NASA is a real trip when juxtaposed with what a hit the NASA-saturated “Project Hail Mary” film seems to be. I wonder how many people who enjoyed the film are aware of just how much this admin has shanked all the cool real-world research it featured.

fake it til ya make it, folks!!!!

I'm currently working on a piece of research to understand the limits of assurance for LLMs while also working with a public body to help them write best practice guidelines for implementing LLMs, and it is *shocking* to me how little is communicated to corporate purchasers about reliability

The “has a number of tells when they’re wrong” part here is a really important distinction between People and the Machine

“One of the key challenges of living in an era of internet alienation and rising authoritarianism is finding the will to be sincere, to embrace a certain unvarnished and earnest form of expression in a world where affect and posturing predominate.” www.liberalcurrents.com/cringe-is-go...

Remembering the right-wing grifter who said this (I think) after a Buffalo Bills game got postponed because of a snow emergency

Goodnight everybody. Try to be less stupid in the morning.

That ad by the Democratic candidate running against Graham and the reactions to it make it very clear that many liberals won’t stop with throwing trans people under the bus. They will happily weaponize homophobia and throw the rest of the LGBTQ community under the bus as well, when the time comes.

Wanna see the most quebecois shit in the entire world?

Jesus Christ he’s the perfect Silicon Valley rep for a reason. Who would be his running mate, Andrew Yang?

I’m not telling anyone what to do I’m just pointing out the same people everyone ignored about Lurch in the primary are waving giant red flags about oyster boy

people always compare him to manchin, but manchin did what he had to do because that's what his constituents expected of him — fetterman does this because it's what he wants to do and he's worse than a child about being criticized

I don't think Paula Abdul should have dated a cat

they really treat him like a make-a-wish kid

oh my god is it a calf, please tell me its a calf

yeah, that's kinda how i feel about the country right now, good job

If it ever looks like Christian might be going home this season the editors are just going to walk on camera and give him an idol. Because he is narrating this whole season.

The Atlantic during the campus protests

57 of my fellow students were arrested, academically disciplined, and barred from campus 2 weeks before finals. And then the visas of some of those students were quietly revoked. And then the DEI office was killed. And then we watched our mentors’ grants evaporate over “woke”.

everyone on bluesky please thank @joshuajfriedman.com

Can’t you just get some 20 year old neckbeards to “randomly” kill every program that actually helps people?

Inject it into my veins.

I don't even know what to say about how bad this is. People have been denied due process by not being able to attend court hearings for fear of being kidnapped; other people HAVE been kidnapped for showing up to do the exact thing we say we want.

Who are you going to believe in this story: the ex-cops openly bragging under their own names on Twitter, or the nameless NYPD official who's not even brave enough to sign their anodyne statement? nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/03/25/f...
