This is the money paragraph for me.

the best time to start production on a nostalgia reboot movie of the Powerpuff Girls was eight years ago. the second-best time is now.

right like the he-man cartoon show first aired in 1983. if you were like 7 then youd be 50 today. the demo that has fond childhood memories of it is like 45-50 year olds? meanwhile average age of first childbirth in the usa is 27 — if you've got an 7 year old boy you're 10-15 years too young?

M81 (Bode’s Galaxy) and M82 (The Cigar Galaxy) tonight before it started to haze over. Sort of beginner’s targets, but I’ve never left the moisture farm before except to go to Anchorhead for supplies.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

Big new features day! 1. Ocean Points (OPs) oceansofnyc.com/p/ocean-poin... Every First Sighting now earns Ocean Points. When we started, and first sightings were the norm, they earned 1 OP. Currently, they earn about 3.5 OP. As it gets harder and hard to find first-sightings, OP will 📈

ELON: christopher nolin is desocrating Homer the Odyssey just to qualify for woke oscars award.. only thing he care is industy clout CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (looking at a bunch of clocks he's modified so they're all going at different speeds): haha yes.... hell yeah...

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years

man what ABC has done to the FiveThirtyEight archives is fucking barbaric

BOS, CHI, DET, MTL, NYR, TOR

went to the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum today and its a place where they moved historically significant buildings there for you to see and i was like gosh what a concept other places should do that it's neat and then I remembered i literally went to college in colonial f—ing williamsburg

It’s incredibly clear the future of war is a paper airplane with a webcam and a stick of dynamite tapped to it and we’re ordering gigantic battleships that may be done in 15 years

Great British Bump Off: Kill Or Be Quilt is nominated for a 2026 Eisner (Best Humour Publication) - well done to my excellent collaborators @maxsarin.bsky.social @sammyborras.bsky.social and all at @darkhorse.com www.comicsbeat.com/2026-eisner-...

Aah! SABLE had been nominated for an Eisner Award!!!

i'm so excited that i got another eisner nomination and especially i'm excited this time because it's for my fiction as opposed to autobio!! it feels much more meaningful to me haha. i worked SO HARD on hello sunshine, and i've daydreamed about getting a nomination for it for years now 😭❤️‍🔥

AHH, looks like the news broke! I'm absolutely floored to announce that Keeping Time has been nominated for an Eisner Award this year...! It's so far beyond anything I envisioned for myself or this comic when I started it. Thank you to everyone who's supported me and this story. #KeepingTime

hooting and hollering at the eisner nominees, so much stuff I love getting a nod this year

this is very funny

Nothing can prepare you for who's singing this National Anthem (via lpaulfranklin / TT)

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...

this is awful news

great story. this is a technique (two obvious nos alongside the favored candidate) old enough it's in Yes Minister. honestly I assume it's literally monarchical.

just to emphasize again, closing Malacca means 'taking a couple of extra days on a trip.' the economist had a great recent graph on various straits and their relative levels of direness.

what could the story of a veteran returning home from a prolonged, needless war — one born of self-destructive hubris and lorded over by petty gods and pettier kings — ever have to say about America

My first ever scoop, such as it is: The DHS is treating a random shitposter X account like a legit news source, giving it exclusive info about foreign relations. www.garbageday.email/p/exclusive-...

Well well well looks like those art degrees aren't so useless after all

not really sure how you can come back from this. three in ten?

best argument against conspiracy theories is outlined in this paper that looks at actual secrets and how long people were able to keep them secret pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Honestly my biggest takeaway from this clip is that Obama is very consciously elevating Mamdani (whom he cites unprompted as an example of the right way to do this) as a model while other top Dems still shirk him.

What’s frustrating about Obama using the “college seminar” as a foil is that he very obviously means the humanities. Yet ”college seminars” in math or physics are actually completely unintelligible to the layperson and that’s a good thing. Complex ideas and specialized vocabulary are good.

skill issue

Is Zohran Mamdani living up to his promises as New York City's mayor? We asked four retired NYPD officers at a driving range in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

unrelated to the matter at hand but i do have five audible credits and a few weekends worth of home renovation work to do so if you got any nonfiction recs i'm all ears

hm. quibble with this framing. for instance, not sure what's so bad for the climate about slowly bleeding out in the snow on the stairs by the riverbank? phys.org/news/2026-05...

Similes are all around us. But, if you haven’t considered this figure of speech since grade school this visual essay is for you: pudding.cool/2026/05/simi...

a lack of principles?

Can't remember if it was Clausewitz or Jomini who first wrote of war: "This doesn't count this doesn't count we're still on timeout"

yo Burry sold it ALL

Damn, @pablo.show & co. win a Pulitzer for audio reporting on the Kawhi - Clippers series

!!!! @pablo.show !!!!

1973 brought on the first wave of work-from-home, then branded as "telecommuting." I think it was a factor (one of many) that led to the proliferation of trans identities within the high-tech sector around this time, despite it being niche (Oil shocks produce all sorts of weird downstream factors)
