I do believe there is such a thing as good art and bad art. But I also believe there should be a museum of toy packaging and marketing art so I can stand in front of this Masters of the Universe poster by Earl Norem and talk about its composition like it's The School of Athens

This is a WIN for science. RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations has been BLOCKED by a federal court. The ACIP committee cannot meet as planned this week, since its membership has been invalidated, and ALL votes made by those advisers in the last year have also been invalidated.

It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for. Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.

kind of funny there are prob 1,000 major US musicians and every time conservatives need to put up a music artist to counter a mainstream narrative, they put up kid rock. "ok here's kid rock again" for the next 30 years, an octogenarian man in jean shorts rapping something from the 1990s

We still need to rebuild our society to reduce car dependency. That said, if we’re going to have cars—and we are!—I will happily take robots that never speed, don’t demand free parking at every destination, and actually stop at stop signs over impulsive, highly emotional, dangerous human drivers.

A reminder to be honest with yourself and aware of your biases. Those who spread misinformation and disinformation exploit our emotions and reinforce what we already believe. Before hitting share, pause ⏸️, check your sources, and make sure you’re not unintentionally adding to the chaos.

One of my biggest takeaways from living in Tokyo was that the city is incredible in spite of the fact that 95% of the architecture is unremarkable. It makes the years-long design review process for a single apartment building in the U.S. seem all the more frivolous.
