My kid corrected me when I called it an octopus. “Eightocus,” she said.

I love this kid.

20 Hours on the 1: What We Found When We Rode the Light Rail All Day What we found when we rode the light rail all day.

Does Seattle's 1 line have any culture? We rode it for 20 hours to find out.

This is always true, but it’s especially applicable now:
Topical humor ALWAYS has a perspective. If a late night host does bland Leno-style jokes about Trump being orange and Bernie Sanders being cranky, he’d be making a STRONG political statement: Everything is fine, Trump’s just another politician

Instead of cancer research, they’re pouring money into “Alexa, how do you cure cancer?”

It’s going to kill all of the viruses (and the patient)

there's an episode of The Simpsons where Marge tries to get a violent cartoon pulled from the airwaves, only to discover that the people backing her aren't going to stop at just the art that *she* doesn't like, and that supporting artistic freedom means accepting discomfort.

It aired in 1990.

Photo of three small tables on the side of the sidewalk, one with the water jug and spout with the sign reading “thirsty?? There’s some water”, a second table with a sign reading “clean cups” with the accompanying cups, and to the side of that a bucket with a sign reading “dirty cups”

While going for a walk, happened upon this free water stand. Clever and thoughtful during the peak hot season!

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

No cheating. Your last saved celebrity photo is your therapist. Who is it?

This checks.

RFK Jr. pulls funding for vaccines being developed to fight respiratory viruses The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation’s leading pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and H5N1 infections.

Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they don't work?
The people who invented them got the f***ing Nobel Prize.
And they've saved literally millions of lives already.

He already has his hands full making transportation less safe for Americans. You’d think he didn’t have enough time in the day to blow up the moon.

i would love to open a tom cruise-themed whiskey bar and call it “risky business,” with the word “risky” being a nod to “risky business,” one of his hit films

Watching these shows while listening to this

I hardly ever think of the band Green Day, but it just popped into my head that Billy Joe uses the word “around” twice in the chorus to When I Come Around.

No time to search the world around
'Cause you know where I'll be found
When I come around

Genius, no notes

My feed is just Sean Duffy and Sean Puffy Combs so you’ll excuse me for thinking these two have morphed into a composite sketch of a man who became famous on MTV in the 90s, and who is now asking to be let out of prison so he can put a nuclear reactor on the moon.
