Breaking News: The top vaccine official at the FDA abruptly resigned, saying that Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s “misinformation and lies” were irresponsible.

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries.

We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district.

Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.

I am nonbinary. The gender that no longer officially exists in the United States. I was offered the chance to change my gender designation to "X" on my passport and driver's license in 2023. I decided not to and here's why.

So now I have an "F" on my passport and my driver's license. When historians look at government records centuries from now, they will think I was a woman. This is what it means to be made invisible, to have your history stolen from you.

Did anyone else just see that Ravens staff member eat dirt? 🤣🤣

38 years ago my father gave me my first computer. Today I will travel back in time to stop him.

okay so in the top left corner hit file and then go down to export. what do you mean you can’t see it? like the whole screen is black? is the computer on? okay turn the computer on. okay. mom I don’t know your password. mom. mom. why did you bring me into this world mom.

how hard can it possibly be to understand that LLMs are not good for information retrieval

I am open to tattooing this on my forehead. Or putting it on a shirt. Or something

I understand hating opinion columns, I say this as an opinion columnist, but reporting is good and if American democracy is going to survive we desperately need reporting to expose corruption.

“Don’t ever apologize for taking up space.”

This is what I say to people, mostly women, mostly younger women, when I’m out in public spaces after they say “I’m sorry” to my “excuse me.”

The responses I get are pretty amazing in all the best ways.

Seriously. Don’t apologize for taking up space.

Early on in our relationship, I was driving somewhere with my partner and his mom. When we got out, the wind caught my car door. I apologized and his mom said, “For what?” I explained I didn’t mean to slam the door.

Her response sticks with me to this day: “Don’t apologize for making noise!”

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

A shot of my TV. An episode of Star Trek (The Enemy Within). Sulu (a Japanese-American man aged around thirty, played by George Takei) is doing a very good job of keeping a straight face while holding an alien creature. The alien creature is very obviously a deeply unimpressed small terrier in a fake-fur coat with a single fake horn on its forehead.

Watching some very serious deeply philosophical hard science fiction.

Perhaps a reason my partner and I get along so well is that we’re definitely on the same page regarding murder. More specifically, we both do not condone or commit murder.

Woman reveals how wearing a scarf has given her the best night's sleep ever Physical therapist Valerie Iovine explained that the scarf trick gives people the "ability to hold your joints in place with active stability from the muscles."

It’s hard to explain the hack but if anyone is curious, this article explains it with a visual www.newsweek.com/wearing-scar...

Recently I found a hack to keep my shoulders in place and ease some pain from their hypermobility. I am just baffled that some people’s bodies naturally keep their shoulders in place like this. It’s so much more comfortable and I’m very jealous of you people with your normally-mobile joints

love saying whatever comes to mind to pigeons. just told one "moves and counter-moves, Ms. Everdeen"

“knowledgeable population” hehe

Underrated aspect of this is how he nails the delivery—the cadence / tone is sports talk perfection 👌

I love this idea. Being a human is hard work. There’s so much we have to do every day just to exist that we don’t necessarily perceive as “productive”. But it is not easy and deserves to be celebrated! Thanks for sharing :)

A few months ago, when I was feeling really low, unworthy, unproductive, etc, I started making lists at the end of my days.

I call them Ta-DID! lists.

I’d write down everything I did all day. Dressed, fed kids, worked, took a walk…

I’d fill pages and then I wouldn’t feel bad about myself anymore.

Getting to work with Sigourney was a bucket list item checked off.

And holy shit is she everything you want her to be. Huge science fiction lover, obsessed with the nuances of the writing. Working with her was a dream. 14/10 would recommend.

Yep, exactly. I am trying to balance the weird in-between of staying informed without giving too much of my attention to far-right extremism

I am a big Broadway fan so yes I saw and loved Wicked. But I am also very exhausted by the amount of existing IP we continue to regurgitate (looking at Marvel). I love original and new creativity. It is refreshing and celebrates more artists rather than just being a cash grab.

I cannot recommend enough the movie @hundredsofbeavers.bsky.social - one of the first original films in a long while that reminded me that movies are ART. And with a $150k budget!?
