Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Pretty good movie overall (with a cheesy 80’s plot), but the “wrong number” scene kills me every time!

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

Alex Pretti, Killed by ICE, Was One of Us Yesterday morning in Minneapolis, ICE agents murdered a member of our community, 37-year-old Alex Pretti. Learn more here...

Right now, ‘nothing feels right’ in Minneapolis. An NBA basketball game is no exception Minnesotans hoped to "forget everything" for a moment at Warriors-Wolves. But amid city-wide unease, that simply wasn't possible.

Black graphic with text "ICE out of Minneapolis NOW"

ICE and CBP agents are out of control and put everyone in danger.

We're calling for ICE agents to withdraw from Minneapolis, and for Congress to rein in ICE’s abuses in our communities.

It was very #cold up on Mt Hood in this photo.

A glass with beer is sitting in snow keeping chilled. People are in the background skiing

One advantage of the snow is that it keeps your drink #cold.

Davos LIVE: Canadian PM Mark Carney speaks at World Economic Forum YouTube video by Associated Press

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech today is one of the most insightful, albeit sobering, political speeches in a long time. Carney tells it as it is: "If you're not at the table you'll be on the menu."

Well worth finding the time to watch: www.youtube.com/live/dE981Z_...
