This is really, really disturbing.

I love these folks.

I had the honor of meeting Wanda Robson as the Bank issued the $10 note. She, like her sister, was a national treasure. Thanks for this post. And everyone should visit the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg! For more on the Desmond $10, see: www.bankofcanada.ca/banknotes/ba...

"Now let's all turn around and pay attention to me."

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin ✨ figured out what stars are made of ✨ when she was just 25. 🔭🧪 Her PhD thesis basically established the Harvard astro department — at a time when Harvard didn't officially allow woman students. I wrote this little profile to mark the 100th anniversary of her thesis:

Got fired from my job for saying people who can’t carry a tune shouldn’t be allowed to lead the 7th inning stretch at Wrigley Field…

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

Me and my crap wardrobe feel seen.

🏛️The @humanrights.ca ‬ opened 11 years ago this month! It’s the world’s first #HumanRights museum and it’s on our $10 bank note. 👉 Learn more about Desmond, $10 note and human rights in Canada: bit.ly/4giBpSZ

The real lesson for today is: it's very easy to live your life in such a way that millions of people don't find you getting murdered to be a positive event, and we can all choose to do that

Just popping up to say @philplait.bsky.social ‘s newsletter today is absolutely mind bending and if you like looking up at the night sky you should 100% subscribe. #astronomy 🤯✨

All Winnipeggers of a certain age recognize that picture of the Queen…

Yet ANOTHER banger...

Let me guess. Banning female contraception? “For their own good”? Especially white women? All I ever needed to know about contemporary US politics I learned from Margaret Atwood.

Good, long, depressing read. Much applicable to Canada…

Tonight, the Chicago Cubs put on the line their perfect 2-0 lifetime record with me in the ballpark on my birthday.

JFC. Awful.

💯. I learned about @astrokatie.com, and what a great science communicator she is, through a friend’s posts on the other place before it went Nazi. And I reached out and asked if she’d speak at my work about how to communicate complex topics to a lay audience. And she did!

This is now a Vicky Mboko stan account. 🎾💪🏾

This is beyond impressive - somewhere out in Holy Crap land…

Fuck cancer. Forever. Ryno was an absolute hero on that 1984 #Cubs team - the one that finally flipped the script for Cub fans like me everywhere. Saw him in Montreal that magical season. Unforgettable. Gone too soon. RIP Ryne Sandberg. #mlb

This is a beautiful story.

Quite possibly the greatest musical satirist of all time.

reminder that the NHL is the only major sports league without a sexual assault/domestic violence policy www.inquirer.com/sports/nhl-d...

Done. I don't feel any better about what happened today, but that's not really the point, is it?

There is someone playing major league baseball tonight who is less than 15 years younger than me.

Time for a break from all this shit.

FACT THREAD on New Interstellar Object #A11pl3Z This story unfolded pretty fast yesterday for a few reasons. The object was discovered on July 1st UTC by the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System, or ATLAS team. A #NASA funded survey at the University of Hawaii. atlas.fallingstar.com 🔭🧪

History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme… he thought, for no apparent 34-year-old reason.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

Sure it’s just a summary, but still remarkable that the NYT would try to explain the spat between Powell and the President without even referring to the concept of inflation.

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy… @shakespeare.lol

Brilliant. Language is fascinating.

I’m waiting for the Nuremberg Trials part of this timeline.

Darth is absolutely killing it today.

Oh my God. This is a free website. I bet way more people use it because they want to hang with like minded people and not get yelled at by random nazis. And watch dog videos.

Singing pants on. Next stop: Carnegie Hall. Still not sure how I’m doing this.

When does training camp start, @pwhlcharge.bsky.social ? We’ll be there. Great season, incredible run. Thanks for some terrific hockey! (Now let us personalize our jerseys!)

These are the best athletes in the world in their sport and we get… eeesh. Fix this, #pwhl.

I’m just going to keep re-skeeting this…

Re-upping this.

This is awesome!

Whoever wins this game and the Walter Cup, one thing the #pwhl desperately needs is better officiating

Playoff hockey is exhausting. Sigh. Go Oilers, I guess.

Nobody watches women’s sports, right @sarahspain.com , except maybe the sold-out crowd in Ottawa savagely serenading the Montreal Victoire after the @pwhlcharge.bsky.social knocked them out of the #pwhl playoffs…

*inhales *exhales Let’s Frickin’ Go Jets

Once again, we turn to… *checks notes Teen Vogue to give society the journalism it sorely needs today.

instead of getting heated about what the little people in your phone are saying, have you considered going out to a nice restaurant, reading a book at the bar, and tipping really well? just a thought

This is amazing. Also Mike has a great newsletter you should sign up for.

LETS GO CHARGE!!!!! Great game @pwhlcharge.bsky.social !!!
