Good advice for every gender.

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off." 'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.' We hope neither carries you off today.

DEUTSCHE: NVIDIA "is currently carrying the weight of US economic growth. The bad news is that in order for the tech cycle to continue contributing to GDP growth, capital investment needs to remain parabolic. This is highly unlikely.” @fortune.com fortune.com/2025/09/23/a...

I would suggest the lawless actions of ICE.

While the early microcomputer era allowed you to get dozens of pieces of software for a very low price right from your newsstand or library rack, there was also inevitably errata to follow - unless you did painstaking bug hunting yourself.

Legends

US media, please stop covering these boat sinkings as anti-drug trafficking. They’re Public Enemy № 1 training the US military to commit murder at his command. Today it’s powerless people from other countries who are falling victim to these lawless attacks; tomorrow it will be our fellow citizens.

History curious? You don't need to be in London (or the UK) to attend many Institute of Historical Research seminars, although if you're in Bloomsbury you'll enjoy doing so. Most are hybrid (online/in person). They're free, usually fortnightly and open to the public. Starting this week:

Good on You is an app you can look up brand ratings in terms of environmental practices, labor, and animal treatment. goodonyou.eco

Dropped off my student with “Try not to get Raptured.”

Imagining trying to explain this sentence to myself 10 years ago.

is this not just kidnapping?

Muppets-Andor crossover movie is our goal here.

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

I'll save y'all a click.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

Cancelling cable, if you have it, has multiple benefits, not just hurting Sinclair and Nextar, but also channels like Fox, who pay to be bundled in with basic cable. Cutting the cable cuts their easiest access to you.

Important reminder that you can set your second screen to watch the live cam of bears in the water at Brooks Falls. www.youtube.com/watch?v=73-E...

Also, bluntly, take the opportunity. Cut the cord. Shut down your cable TV. Stop watching broadcast. You’ll be much happier with a good internet connection and a nice streaming box like an Apple TV.

this is the solution to the male loneliness epidemic I am 100% serious

Do not give The Rapture your email addresses people!!!!

Okay, if you're a bit weird like me, this sentence shall give you utter delight. "Rather than using actual rats in the film, dachshunds wearing rat suits were used to achieve the effect of super-sized rodents."

Some advice: “finishing creative projects is a skill in and of itself. if you want to be able to finish large, complex projects, you have to _practice finishing things_. which usually means doing smaller projects.” [bsky.app]

Due dates will be adjusted if the the rapture does indeed happen tomorrow

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Smart thread

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

if you’re in line to get raptured, STAY IN LINE

You just think about the amount of attention the press gave to Joe Biden when he stumbled on a word.

What?

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

Just wanted to note that I appreciate @cpsc.gov. (When I unfollowed a bunch of accounts in bulk, I accidentally unfollowed. My bad.)

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!

Never mind

It sounded like Kimmel was driving a pretty hard bargain on coming back on the air—Disney was begging him, not the other way around—so let's hope this is interesting variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Kimmel should make his first show back all about Jeffrey Epstein

in point of fact, FDR’s open line of communication with black leaders like A. Philip Randolph absolutely strained his relationships with southern lawmakers and he did it anyway under the view that he was president for the whole country

Kimmel comeback: "Walt Disney Co. said Jimmy Kimmel Live! will return to the air on Tuesday, ending a suspension imposed following controversial remarks its ABC late-night host made about the assassination of Republican activist Charlie Kirk." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I can only see Marion Cotillard and Maggie Gyllenhaal when I look at this.

OMG

if the rapture does happen tomorrow that would have huge implications for the 2026 midterms, never mind redistricting in 2030

What if the Rapture is actually retroactive and none of them were ever born to begin with. (Someone must have written this story at some point.)

Shanah Tovah, New York City. Here's to a sweet and hopeful New Year.

I’ll say this today, to all those who’ll be leaving us tomorrow: Happy Rapture, holy folks!

This looks like a great online event if you have an interest in 1970s alternative and community newspapers… www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/archiving-...
