Sin doesn't exist. Ignore anybody who calls anything a sin. And if you need some ammo against idiots who appeal to the Bible about "sexual sin", look no further.

If you don't own physical media, you don't own jack.

I can fix this. Texas, please let me write the lesson plans.

Sadly, I am forced to agree with Andrew Wakefield. He's such a vile excuse for a human being.

More evidence that RFK Jr lied to the Senate when he said his 2019 trip to Samoa had nothing to do with vaccines. An important story that is not going away while @bymichellersmith.com is on it: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

To seize fame and power, MAHA doctors were willing to overlook kids dying of measles in Samoa so that American kids could suffer the same fate.

Awww. The voice of my childhood.

Try to avoid having an identity at all and you'll be at least risk of crank magnetism.

Cheetolini is raging online against somebody in a frog costume, and I feel terrible for the world’s satirists.

Please amplify this news and spread the word: A valuable climate resource has returned. Climate.us is a private version of a former federal resource shut down by the current administration dedicated to making trusted, evidence-based climate information accessible to all. #climatesky #edusky #scisky

“This is a 5-alarm fire, and we need people, everyone, to first of all, understand the implications of these new policies and make sure that you reach out and make your voice heard,” said Carolyn Bertozzi, Nobel laureate, about the new OMB rule https://cancerletter.com/the-cancer-letter/20260612_1/

I’m so lucky. My daughter makes every day feel like Father’s Day.

I've learned chemistry, biology, and now physics and materials science from this. Perhaps Trump's greatest educational achievement.

Do NOT watch this until AFTER you see "Obsession".

No, I don't know why someone spliced the old Pixar THX logo on the front of this. But check out this amazing short that Carrie Coon was in. If you liked "Too Many Cooks"...

Need a road fixed or a bridge built in your town? How about funding for a rural hospital? Then you need to know that one man, Russell Vought, is about to have complete control over who gets federal funding and who doesn’t. To learn more and to write your elected representatives, hit this link.

This photo shows two women and a man at a Juneteenth celebration in Corpus Christi, Texas, in 1913. They are not only wearing their finest clothes but also sitting in an elegantly decorated horse-drawn carriage. This picture was one of several taken on that day by George McCuistion (1878-1928).

Happy Juneteenth. 👊🏾

Ukrainian drone strikes on the Moscow refinery didn't happen by accident. That billowing black smoke is the result of years of planning, plus European money. I wrote about Ukraine's long-range drone project last September: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Retract RFK, Jr.

This week I got a little testy over something you might not think warrants it: the typical telling of ghost stories on mainstream media. For me, this crossed a line. An important line. I explain in my Substack today (free preview): Borley Rectory, when fiction becomes immoral.

Google finally found a way to make the world's worst search engine even worse!

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

Somehow, I love this.

Visual metaphor for taking on a writing project.

I don't know how much good this will do, but it would cost you only about 10 seconds to sign a petition asking Texas to not kill an innocent man.

Timeline cleanse. Listen to how Clàudia nails every pitch.

Anybody who believes that blasphemy is a thing is a barbarian.

If I didn't know better, I'd be tempted to say that vaccines work.

There are people in the world who think that religious faith is a good thing, worthy of defending. Some of those people write risible tripe such as the linked article.

It's like these athletes are going out of their way to give me even fewer reasons to give a shit about baseball. Identity politics ruins everything.
