Today in 1987, “When the Wind Blows”—an animated adaptation of the powerful 1982 satirical graphic novel by Raymond Briggs about an elderly British couple valiantly following the government’s detailed civil defense advice to try and survive a nuclear attack—opened in theaters in the United Kingdom.

"I would like nothing more than to return to my little bed and leave the actual work to the Mannys and Kumals of the world. Maybe you all should have thought of that before you decided to vote in the goons intent on ripping out the spine of this country." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/im-...

"It’s fine. You’re young, and we’re patient." I'm always interested in different ways to communicate science, especially stories about deep time. This @highcountrynews.org conversation between Marcia Bjornerud and ten old rocks in Wyoming is fun and I learned a lot. www.hcn.org/issues/58-1/...

Maybe it's a sign everything is going to be okay. Maybe it's a sign that everything is extra not okay. I do not know but I am basking in this moment.

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Stephen Miller is employing state terror in service of the open goal of shifting the ethnic mix of the country. In numerous ways he's doing this at the expense of public safety. We spent weeks reporting on Miller's real aims. Here's the result. We hope you'll read: newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Found the coolest website that takes random found cassette tapes people submit and digitizes them. I’m listening to an NYC hip hop station from 1994: intertapes.net

Ok BlueSky: what are your favorite history books in terms of sheer page-turning, narrative propulsion? Thinking along the line of Killers of the Flower Moon, etc. Nonfiction chronicles that read like novels or movies.

Lots of people comparing Senate Democrats to Charlie Brown trying to kick the football, but that analogy only works in a version where Lucy has told Charlie Brown she's going to pull it away, and also that afterwards she's going to have Snoopy executed in a foreign prison

I eat at this table. I’d rather Billy not sit on it. So we’ve reached a compromise: I’ll eat off a plate on my lap and he’ll sit wherever the fuck he wants. Cats always turn me into the Chuck Schumer of my own apartment.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Everyone please diligently check your candy this year. I cracked open a snickers bar and not only did I find a copper ingot, but it was of poor quality. Worse still, when my man Nanni confronted my neighbor about it, he was treated with disdain.

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

Nice gift "Plate Tectonics Flip Book" from the author Ch. Scotese to our tectonist J. Lazauskienė 😀

Trump’s Department of Justice turned antitrust enforcement into a pay-to-play scheme. A top official was fired for blowing the whistle. It’s the same story: Trump’s team gets paid. Big corporations get richer. Workers and small businesses get screwed.

While your question is valid, I'm noting the poor phrasing and framing that doesn't convey the most necessary information in the deck and headline, and opts instead to create clickbait. Better framing would put importance on the storm, not its place in line, as most ppl don't read past a headline.

It was two years ago today that I learned that the line after “we can try to understand” in the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” is “THE NEW YORK TIMES’ EFFECT ON MAN.” I may never recover.
