Astronomers watched as the star WOH G64 transformed from a red supergiant into a rare, shortlived yellow supergiant star...in just 12 years. It's a dramatic, rapid instability in a star that is rapidly headed toward a cataclysmic supernova explosion. 🧪🔭 theconversation.com/one-of-the-b...

I think I'm numb now to Trump saying these things. But I don't think I'll ever get used to the sound of the audience laughing along with him

keep in mind for the next few days:

Trump speaking after markets close is usually a sign he’ll say something bad for the economy, and the White House communications team doesn’t want a graph with the line going down and blaring red numbers with a minus sign on the screen with him when he does.

“Piracy is the most effective form of artistic distribution these days. So be it.” -Werner Herzog on NPR just now 🔥

"Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach the earth. None of them through the Strait of Hormuz." —Bill McKibben

Musicians telling Trump to stop using their songs is starting to be a bit pathetic. If there isn't litigation its kind of performative.

There are many, many reasons these types of laws are idiotic, but chief among them has to be demanding the public hand over their IDs and personal information to social media companies - SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANIES, who have not exactly demonstrated a great track record for privacy and safety.

Ok - who did this

Did you know that you don’t have to consume, purchase, or watch content from Paramount Skydance, or any of their subsidiaries? I’m choosing to support Netflix and other streaming services that aren’t beholden to this administration. You have free will—use it.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.

went to the store __________ AI Summary ✨ Grammy-nominated R&B singer Jon B. posted that he is going to the stove – perhaps to "cook up" another hot, hot radio single. Frogs and toads, which are the same, can live on the Sun and often choose to.

In competitive authoritarianism (US right now) there's often a "loyal opposition" that's essential to the regime. They are so wedded to "decorum," they go along with rites & rituals that help regime prop up veneer of normalcy, undermining clear view of regimes actions & aims.

Oversight Democrats have been investigating the handling of serious allegations by a survivor against Donald Trump when she was a minor. We have now confirmed that some of the documents related to this survivor appear to be missing from the files. Here’s what we know ⬇️

Everyone should watch this. Damn.

Absolutely wild. WSJ reporting that some OpenAI staffers thought the Tumbler Ridge shooter's use of ChatGPT raised the potential of real world violence but leadership decided not to alert RCMP. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

This. If you spent a year spitting in the face of every rules based trading partner, don't expect them to come rushing back to the bargaining table now that maybe rules and written agreements *might* apply again.

I don't find most valentines jokes very funny but this is great.

It should be illuminating that prosecuting sex trafficking, the thing that prosecutors and police across the country have been using as a cash cow to fund surveillance and weaponry, is actually not something government prosecutors care about at all. The system does not hold people accountable.

You love to see it.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books. She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it. It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Internal White House meetings going on, like, "Hopefully the racism will distract from the pedophilia which will distract from the killings which will distract from the pedophilia again which will distract from the economy which will distract from the pedophilia a third time"

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

Spiking the Kamala Harris endorsement can be rationalized as something that was done on the opinion side of the newspaper so less dire, but management spiking a news story means the outlet is official dead.

The Epstein files are, as far as I can tell, one of the biggest stories in America right now. And the media IS covering them. But everyone is also complaining that the media isn't covering them. This was a very explicit goal of the Epstein Network's destablization plan and it should worry you.

Everybody has it backwards. Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies. They’re creating a world they control completely

52. Instead of cutting Canada Post, expand it to invest in digital communications, including email (not Google), secure servers (not Amazon), secure data management (not Microsoft), and rural high speed internet, alongside traditional mail. www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

As it turns out, #Bluejays Joe Carter statue will stand alone between Gates 5 and 6. I'm told that the Ted Rogers statue is being moved to Rogers corporate offices, which is the right thing to do. It never should have been at the ballpark.

No notes 🤌🏻

Unfortunate to see Ben Collins promoting Kara Swisher today. He removed my polite reply from his post.

May the Epstein files remind every woman that she should not feel beholden to beauty standards established by men who are attracted to children.

You know who should be most worried about the Epstein Files? Iran.

1. The new batch of Epstein documents helps illuminate one contemporary controversy: What is Bari Weiss up to at CBS? I think the answer is she is trying to rehabilate the Epstein network as a bulwark of reactionary centrism. Let me explain.
