The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

All AI music does is devalue the work done by human artists. It’s not accessibility, it’s exploitation. We need real protections for artists against AI! BTW — even if you had access to this AI startup as a child, you still wouldn’t know how to make music.

If you are looking for a family owned small business that offers lovely handmade pottery, I came upon a store in my community today called Kalsang Pottery. The husband makes the pottery. Their website is www.kalsangpottery.com - I bought a large mug for my tea.

It's uncomfortable for a lot of kidlit creators to contend with, but if you leave porn without defense, the censors are comin for you next THEY ALWAYS DO (and they HAVE been in this era of book bans) (defend porn like your freedom of speech depends on it) (because it does)

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

This whole album is a delight. Songs about getting older. Black men's health issues. I'll have another song from it in my Best of 2025. What a time for new Public Enemy and the final Mobb Deep album. And of course Public Enemy is on @bandcamp.com & @flavorflav.bsky.social is on Bluesky. Real ones!

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

'Scooby-Doo' did something that 'Sherlock' never could: effectively separate solving mysteries from the police and copaganda.

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking? Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

we posted a video of me talking about little free libraries and banned books for AABB and two of the comments are: stop making porn for kids and a warning to other parents about how my book Squad isn't appropriate for teens bc of "themes" neither is surprising. both are indicative of this fight.

Fuck me, I didn't know you could be THAT open in the endzone.

This is the most insane piece of news of the year (which is saying a lot): www.bbc.com/news/article...

Shaun King is a fantastic example of how supposed white liberals will cling to a grifter that validates them far sooner and with more ferocity than side with the Black and Brown folks trying to actually educate them.

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

Apollo 13 astronaut Jim Lovell has passed at 97 www.nasa.gov/news-release... One of my early young journalist memories was getting to interview him and Ron Howard on a red carpet in Austin for a screening of Apollo 13. I bragged about it for a while! (I'm the mop of brown curly hair)
