In Disney's desire to become everything, Disney as a brand will mean nothing.

(Which I would make the argument, is sorta where Netflix is - a content pipe that ultimately has IP but means nothing.)

Something something land war in Asia.

But hey, Netflix has to do *something* with all that stock value.

Do you know someone who is unconvinced about the fact that we need to do something about school shootings beyond "thoughts and prayers"?

Show them All the Empty Rooms, a documentary on Netflix. It is only 35 minutes.

It is heartbreaking and heartbreakingly necessary.

Netflix December 2025: Full List of New Arrivals + What's Leaving The Netflix December 2025 list of new movies and TV shows includes Wake Up Dead Man and the much anticipated grand finale of Stranger Things!

I'm being honest here: if this goes through and it means higher prices for a netflix subscription I'm out.

Mama cat Porsche (right), a brown tabby cat with big splashes of white, with her “mini me” daughter Mercedes.

Young grey tabby cat Bentley with his brown tabby sister Ferrari.

Mercedes, a young brown tabby cat with big splashes of white fur.

Ferrari, a cute and round young brown tabby cat.

It’s hard to believe but the Auto Club family— mama Porsche & her now 7-month old kittens Ferrari, Mercedes, and Bentley— have had no applications. Not one for any of them. They’ve been growing up together in foster care, shy at first & needing a quiet home. Elkton, MD Apply crits4cats.petfinder.com

Spoiler alert: I recap the plot.

UAB physician and AI innovator may leave US due to parents’ immigration limbo Dr. Tlimat said his life feels like a roller coaster due to his parents’ situation

“A UAB physician who used AI to make hospital respirators safer may move abroad because of his parents’ problems with the U.S. immigration system…Tlimat is a critical care physician at UAB with a background in software engineering. He came to the country as a Syrian refugee in 2013.”

Not only will losing thousands of outstanding #doctors like this kill #patients, it will kill other #doctors and #healthcare staff.
Just a reminder that a hospital in the #UpperPeninsula of #Michigan had one single obstetrician covering 24/7/365 from June 2024-Dec 2025, when it closed its L&D unit

The Nebraska cryptic lineage appeared again this week. It really puts BA.3.2.2 in perspective.

Inside the Movement to Teach ICE Defense to N.C. Business Owners From coffee shops to electrical contractors, local businesses are getting crash courses in constitutional law to prepare for potential encounters with federal agents.

“The traditional playbook…is part of the machinery that led to this moment. Siembra’s approach works outside those channels, building power through direct action & hyperlocal community building that doesn’t depend on institutions…”

Book review: 'Urban Bodies: Communal Health in Late Medieval English Towns and Cities' by Carole Rawcliffe (2013) I’ve just finished reading ‘Urban Bodies: Communal Health in Late Medieval English Towns and Cities’ by Carole Rawcliffe, Professor of Medieval History, University of East Anglia.

Just added a substack version of the review I wrote of one of the best books on Medieval hygiene I've ever read.

Jobs are not a thing employers supply to workers.

LABOUR is a thing WORKERS supply to EMPLOYERS.

Complaining about ghost jobs is like complaining about ghost customers. It's not the CUSTOMER'S problem when they don't want what you're selling.

It’s never occurred to me to wonder what Edward Gorey animating the Ministry of Silly Walks would look like & now I don’t have to

Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.

Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.

Figure 1 from a paper published in Nature (linked in post). The figure purports to be an infographic depiction of the "Overall working of the framework" for 'explainably' diagnosing autism spectrum disorder. The infographic is plainly nonsense, containing many spelling errors, nonsense words, meaningless images and graphs. Clearly created using generative AI and (crucially) NEVER CHECKED AT ANY STEP OF THE WRITING OR PUBLICATION PROCESS.

Hey @nature.com, have you got an explanation for how the hell THIS happened? & especially why you accepted a paper with such a bizarre piece of genAI slop in it?!
& more to the point, why we should take you seriously at all going forward?

getting to the point that 'gen z' is standing in for 'covid addled youth with adhd' the way 'millennial' still reads 'perpetual child' even though the youngest of us are getting into the bad knees and neck pain stage of life

its fun that we can start playing the 'millennials are middle aged' game for gen z

the oldest gen z are pushing 30 so like definitionally a lot of them have careers and kids and mortgages (even if we culturally like to pretend that you're not an adult until 35 these days)

"[A]t least 97[%] of Gaza's trees, 95[%] of its shrubland, and 82[%] of its annual crops have been destroyed ... [W]itnesses testified that Israeli forces have razed their fields, bombed their fishing boats, and destroyed critical infrastructure, such as irrigation and food storage facilities."

Like genocide, the 'Kidnappings & Death Camps' business is very profitable. Your tax dollars hard at work!
