ok this is a very good headline

I feel like the 17th century English space program run by Oliver Cromwell's brother-in-law has the potential to become a history meme

Yes I do miss it thanks

Homer would have called Odysseus the platonic ideal of a Wife Guy if Plato had been invented yet

Today I learned that there are as many undergrads @arizonastateuni.bsky.social’s Barrett Honors College as there are total undergrads at Stanford. 😵

Excellent post by @halavais.bsky.social on @arizonastateuni.bsky.social's use of AI. "Atomic...treats lectures as raw material to be "atomized," recombined, and redeployed for entirely different purposes... This is not reuse. It is decontextualization." alex.halavais.net/atomized-prof

i need it immediately

I have a theory that just about everyone you know is playing a dumb game on their phone that they’re mildly embarrassed by. They want to delete it but just can’t. Mine is “Magic Sort.”

it's the whitest bullshit they could think of

This is meant to attract students, and I get it, but it makes no sense. Help with better names please!!!

Sharing this piece on rhetorical fallacies used by the current administration to misinform the public about healthcare. Via @yourlocalepidemiologist.skystack.xyz This is why we need the humanities. Without it, STEM is dysfunctional. #rhetoric yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/5-logical-...

It’s still hard for me to believe that Mick Jagger and Keith Richards are still alive and that they’re both younger than Harrison Ford.

My teen just said to me: “One of my favorite dinosaur artists has already made stickers for the new spinosaurus” and I have never loved her more.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that French fries, served cold, suck ass.

Driving a morning carpool of teenagers helps crystallize why we don't encourage children to take up a coffee habit.

As a UW-Madison alum, this makes me happy.

Trying to decide whether to spend EIGHTEEN DOLLARS to buy my teenager this toothpaste. (Kidding. I'm not buying it.) www.amazon.com/Colgate-Toot...

Anti-DHS protesters in LA moved a huge dumpster, partially blocking agents in their building.

I left because I’m not agreeing to their BS 😡

Kids all over Phoenix walking out of school today. So proud of them! ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

So happy to see a different presentation of autism in Dr. Melissa King on “The Pitt” this season! It’s fun to see how the writers are dropping little hints with each episode. S2E4’s food sensitivity description is exactly what my ASD kid has, too! 👍🏻 #thepitt

Staff at a Twin Cities yarn store put together a pattern for a red knit “Melt the ICE” hat inspired by the Norwegian resistance. They thought they would attract 10 people to a weekly knit-along. They’ve sold 70,000 copies, raising more than $250k for immigrant aid groups.

BREAKING: The Senate just blocked a bill that would have renewed ICE's budget without real, enforceable changes. This is a direct result of hundreds of thousands of people across the nation demanding that our Senators vote no.

These fucking Blackhawk helicopters over Phoenix are super upsetting.

Here's something new to obsess over. www.bedbugreports.com

Endorsed. Ian knows what he's talking about, here especially.

We need a "LIVE AID" for Antifa. @brucespringsteen.net should organize it.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

rare to get such a clear glimpse into the mind of someone whose response to problems in his personal life was to blame black people

Spotted in central Phoenix today: teenagers walking out of high schools waving signs while 2 Blackhawk helicopters fly overhead. 🤬

Teenspeak is adorable. “You know someone was having fun writing that prompt,” they say, reading aloud from an egregious blog post that was clearly composed by AI.

Does anyone else have brief brain flashes of places they once visited? Like I’ll be doing something mundane and suddenly I flash back to a pharmacy I visited in rural France. Or I’ll remember walking to a subway stop in Queens. The places I remember are so random & insignificant though. It’s weird.

Please stop using Substack. You won’t use Twitter. Stop using Substack.

Very happy to see this and wishing the launch lots of luck! www.theguardian.com/games/2026/j...

These are amazing. So proud of all the folks doing this good work.

Looking for sources for a @nature.com story about how researchers are coping in the midst of current events: If you're a PhD or other academic who's struggling to focus with everything that's happening in the world and would like to be interviewed for this story, please get in touch ASAP!

As an Arizona voter, I am proud that @adrianfontes.bsky.social is quoted here saying that "This isn’t leadership. This is blackmail."

If you're wondering why all of this is happening with such reckless abandon note this: invoking the Insurrection Act would postpone the midterm elections indefinitely. THAT is why. www.npr.org/2026/01/15/n...

these banners are printed with the coolest giant banner system ever, developed by @laborcamp on IG the letters are cut from insulation foam and rolled with paint

I am a vintage millennial co-authoring work with a Gen Xer and Gen Zer, which means I speak three different dialects of emoji.

Holly Hunter, Tatiana Maslany, Paul Giamatti, and fabulous production values make Starfleet Academy a blast… pun intended. Worth giving P+ my money.

Love my senator. Don’t mess with an astronaut, Hegseth.

I'm not saying my Bsky Rabbi ( @theradr.bsky.social ) gave me official orders to knit as much as possible, but I'm not NOT saying that, either. "Do the thing that sustains and nourishes you." from her amazing and unfortunately evergreen article: www.lifeisasacredtext.com/fortify/

Overheard: “I think of it more as living in a nice mid-sized city adjacent to a large metro area. It’s more about that than ‘living in the suburbs.’”

A beautiful piece about doing some good despite what ICE is doing. open.substack.com/pub/shifrash...
