A Washington Post article suggests that, beyond a certain threshold, larger homes don't make people happier. Instead, well-being is correlated with affordable housing in walkable neighborhoods where they feel socially connected. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

I’m very interested in how this intersects with aging, and folks who learned computing as youngish adults who now worry that “everything is so much harder” & like they are declining or “just can’t keep up” prematurely

J6 prosecutor: “It’s more maddening than it is anything else. I spent years of my life watching the events of that day unfold in front of me again and again and again. I spoke with dozens and dozens of people who were there that day and who are still dealing with the trauma.”

Just because people’s brains are cooked by the internet doesn’t mean you have to get clicks off it

this is how every outlet should refer to X

Can't say i was familiar with gerard butler's actual origin story until today but it would make a good plot for a gerard butler movie

One of my core beliefs is that, in the era of AI reporting will become more and more important than it's ever been. Hopefully, the market, institutions, consumers all recognize that.

Next year when December rolls around I’m gonna start saying “why don’t we circle back in February.”

this is one of the mondays of all time

anyways i think it's kind of wild how quickly we went from "be careful, that shark in the flooded city is from a different hurricane" to "nearly every piece of media about this world event is fake and also we took the fake media and made it nude also we added more explosions"

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

“My biggest struggle through the years has been the public perception of it,” Eveland said, and navigating conversations with people close to him, including some fellow police officers, who do not think it was a big deal. apnews.com/article/capi...

When I tell people who are somewhat new to Brooklyn that Prospect Park used to have cars coursing through it at rush hours they look at me like I have two heads. There's a lesson there about change, getting things done, and sticking with them.

Since everyone is reading Moby Dick right now, I want to draw your attention to this incredible interpretation of the Spouter’s Inn painting that I came across on reddit and am obsessed with 🐋

I had an extremely vivid dream last night about being somewhere and grabbing half a leftover scone to eat for later and just now was very unhappy to realize it was in fact a dream and that I did not have a half a leftover scone in my coat pocket.

5 million-plus kindergartners now live in counties where schools don’t have “herd immunity” for measles, Washington Post reporters found. WaPo also built a tool to look up your own county. Exceptional, and alarming work by @laurenweberhp.bsky.social @caitlingilbert.bsky.social et al. (Gift link.)

All news is local news:

It’s basically a romcom with Sigourney Weaver running a privatized genetic super soldier program in the background

So after months and months of The Gorge becoming a punchline to household jokes based solely on the trailer, we decided to actually watch it late last night and um. I enjoyed it? Kind of a lot?

huh so Google is kicking off the new year by pissing off knitters that’s fun

If you're cold he's cold, bring him inside

well, 2016 was a hard year, but we made it through. hopefully 2016 will be better.

Here’s to another goddamn new year youtu.be/bMz7a4XXx84?...

"No Way To Prevent This," Says Company Spending Billions Of Dollars To Encourage This

The Trump administration is closing NASA’s largest research library on Friday, a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals — many of them not digitized or available anywhere else. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/31/c...

honestly love a good mid-week holiday, so much better than the three-day weekend.

they should invent a year that's better than the one before it

i read columns like that RELIGIOUSLY as a child and im so sad to not be able to give my kids the same kind of delightful brain clutter :(

I don't know you, but I feel this was put on my timeline to introduce you to Adrian Chiles. Not a local, but the king of crank columnists. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

There’ll Always Be An Adrian Chiles.

as one does, I’ve been googling a lot of stuff recently and it’s crazy that more than a year in they still insist on putting wrong information via AI overview at the top of almost every search. crazy how quickly ive become accustomed to reflexively scroll past/ignore

My personal most crank theory is that people’s desire for “content” like this hasn’t diminished (I think a lot of subreddits are basically … that), but we never did find a headline/delivery formula that broke through the noise of everything else happening to news these last 20 years

Pour one out for the voice of Cleveland, Dick Feagler clevelandmagazine.com/articles/in-...

Among many other losses to the fabric of society caused by the death of local media, I especially mourn the absence of the crank columnist, a person employed to just go off at 800 words a week asking g why some double of modern life is the way it is. Why ARE car lights like that now? In this piec-

Deeply curious about a person who is like heck yeah Michigan but draws the line at Minnesota.

What a quote.

More and more we are all realizing our grandmas were right about everything

if I were elected mayor of a city I too would insist that every ceremony took place in an abandoned tunnel or secret passage of some kind

Flying into SFO regularly this year has turned me into a window seat person for life.
