Is your heart aching for an America that has moral clarity on how to deal with traitors? #January6 Download the #Lincoln episode of Biopic: A Podcast Story, available here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

Vaccines save lives. That’s it. That’s the post.

An attack on public health. A repudiation of science.

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

Timezones are so weird. Australia is in 2026, Canada is in 2025, and the United States is in 1939.

Happy New Year’s Eve, but more importantly, happy Valentine’s Day Kilmer’s birthday. We absolutely loved him as Doc Holliday in Tombstone, a movie we love so much that we had to make it a 2-parter. Here’s part 1: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b...

We're going to my friend's house, about 2.5 hours away, for new years. BF: what podcast should we listen to on the drive? Me: how do you feel about a 2.5 hour podcast about Oppenheimer? @biopic-podcast.bsky.social just released a new one! 🤠 BF: sounds good to me! Thank you Sara and Rena!

The trip to the grandparents' house was REALLY hard on me. Got back at 5am, physically and emotionally exhausted. My human came over tonight. I broke down sobbing on his shoulder. He just held me for a few hours which was exactly what I needed. Having a genuinely supportive partner is...incredible

Plug you space heater directly into the wall.

Today with the grandparents: I've claimed dibs on their (original!) newspapers from the moon landing. They couldn't believe I remember they still have them. I've been geeking out so hard about these papers since I learned they existed, last time I was here in 2013. I LOVE SPACE.

Listening to my octogenarian grandma talk about why she likes @maddow.bsky.social so much was not on my holiday break bingo card

*taps on mic* Therapy doesn’t make emotional/mental hurt go away, it gives you tools to properly process that hurt so you can have better coping and navigating skills DESPITE the hurt. That hurt can heal in time BECAUSE of the learned/applied skills but it’s okay AND NORMAL if it never goes away.

I've been with my octogenarian grandparents for less than 24 hours and I'm not sure how to make it through the next 3 days. Got talked at for 3 hours, that was fun. The cognitive decline is real.

The original Betty Boop, the first four Nancy Drew books and Greta Garbo's first talkie are among the many works from 1930 that will be free to use, share and remake starting on Jan. 1. n.pr/4scrT9d

I did not understand this: one of the five Europeans the US has barred from traveling to the United States...is a permanent resident who lives with his family in the US. Now he is worried about being arrested and deported for the crime of monitoring online hate. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/u...

I wish airports had gyms. I'd pay money to use the gym during this 6 hour layover after a 4+ hour flight. Instead I walked the length of every terminal, it came out to ~3 miles

There were 6 people in line behind and 3 ahead of me for the water refill station at the airport. Feels like that wouldn't have happened 10 years ago. Progress is slow but possible

Using my half day off to watch Heated Rivalry and loving it. Inject the queer TV shows directly into my brain, please and thank you

Everyone get ready: A Very Oppenheimer 2026 Holiday Sean’s Episode drops between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

"this could have been slop, but it's not" is rapidly becoming a surefire signifier of premium-ness

The @fda.gov only sporadically tests generically drugs to ensure quality and efficacy. So @propublica.org did so. Read on to see what we learned. www.propublica.org/article/fda-...

Just saw the trailer for Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey and holy crow, it looks EPIC. I can't wait to see this movie next summer! youtu.be/Mzw2ttJD2qQ

The great old comedy writer Larry Gelbart said that your style is formed by what you can’t do. I wish more people understood that. That and the Martha Graham quote about keeping the channel open.

I mean, things are tough all over. If rude criticism stops you from making art, you should probably not be making art.

the category error most generative AI defenders make is that it doesn't make them better artists, it makes them worse patrons of the arts

Reader Tom B. from Seattle is matching gifts to his GoFundMe for ProPublica up to $15K. We’re just over $4K so far. Help close the gap:

You might be thinking, "CPSC, does a dry Christmas tree really burn that much faster than a well-watered tree?" Friend, let's find out together by watching this PSA.

If this doesn't infuriate you and break your heart at the same time

quakers are the only christian movement I am aware of that are usually on the right side of any political battle

British Quakers are refusing room bookings from terfs as policy. If you were waiting for an org to stand up for LGBTQIA+ rights, and unflinchingly withstand bullying and lawfare, here you go, friends. Good luck to the raging bigots, they'll get nowhere with threats.

Honestly: my boyfriend. He makes me happy in a way I've never experienced before. Right person, right place, right time. Finishing grad school and starting a quasi-real adult life, that sense of freedom is incredible. CrossFit, I've gotten stronger and I feel better about myself.

The way I desperately want to fast forward a few hours, skip ahead to going out for dinner with my human...but alas, the real world does not allow for such things

I ordered a birthday cake for myself and told the bakery it's for my birthday and I'd leave the design to them, telling them what I like...so they didn't decorate it. It made me really sad, so I decided to do it myself. A little messy, but I like it a lot more than before.

Guess who's starting their Sunday off watching their cat run around with a half-alive mouse in her mouth 🫠 Maple the Mouser strikes again. She let the mouse go and now she's playing with it. This poor mouse. I can't reach it to take it outside.

I hate how much I enjoyed this BIG NERD DESIGN ENERGY 🫦

The film print really hit hard. It just *felt* different. More real, more grounded, more imperfect. It felt *human* in such a visceral way. Especially the ending. This is the power of real art.

Seeing It's A Wonderful Life on 35mm film was a whole other experience. I can't stop crying.

This is incredible. I’m in absolute awe. It’s like they did it on purpose to highlight how homogenised and meaningless the arts are under capitalism I mean they didn’t, but its ‘like’ they did

NEW: For more than a century, a smelter spewed lead dust over Omaha. For decades, the government cleaned it up. But a shift in guidance from the Trump administration may stop thousands more from potential cleanup, exposing families to the harmful metal. With @flatwaterfreep.bsky.social

There's something so strange about realising that you're changing. You look at yourself in the mirror and suddenly it's not the most revolting thing you've ever seen. You look around your space and actually feel good about it. You look at your work and want to own it.

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

Higher education, if done right, will transform you into a LIFELONG learner. I am curious about so many things because my curiosity was cultivated in college. A BA/BS is only the beginning. You should be reading, visiting museums, going to concerts, debating and discussing things for LIFE.

Thought the brakes on my bike were broken because the levers weren't working... Nope. They were just frozen. May have to set a temperature threshold for going in to the office, for safety's sake.

The way tech companies constantly do stuff that nobody asked for really tells you a lot about their bigger ideology. They tell themselves that you will like it over time. What they mean is you’ll learn to endure it, or you’ll give up. quality of UI is not actually anywhere on their radar
