In 1990 I went to a press screening of Slacker in NYC, and on the way out someone handed me a glass vial with a black top and a slide inside: my very own Slacker pap smear — a riff on the Madonna pap smear in the movie. Today, 35 years later, my wife found it in the garage. I am giddy #indiefilmgeek

Exonerations and new science continue to raise questions about shaken baby syndrome, a diagnosis that lives on under a different name: abusive head trauma. Critics say the name deflects scrutiny while leaving parents vulnerable to criminal charges. @pamelacolloff.bsky.social propub.li/4gzm8MD

The new census population estimates out today suggest a slightly less dramatic 2030 reapportionment. Florida & Texas would gain 4 seats each. California would lose 4. But New York’s loses down to just 2 seats and Michigan would keep all its seats.

And just like that — Fort Worth has passed Austin in population. It's now the 4th largest city in Texas and the 11th largest city in America www.kxan.com/news/texas/t... #txlege

There are now 31,290,831 of us in Texas — a year over year increase of nearly 563,000 (H/T @alexazura.bsky.social, the population and demographics badass of all time) www.census.gov/newsroom/pre... #txlege
