In the 80s, choreographer Liz Lerman created a dance where each dancer represented a profession, they'd dance for a number of seconds equal to tenthousands in income, then freeze. In this model, the home health aide would dance 2 seconds and the consultant would dance around them for 28+ minutes

Thinking back to when the big catchphrase on THE APPRENTICE was "You're transferred to a less front-facing office!!"

SMH that when you search for some answer, Google's AI Summary (that you didn't ask for and won't open) takes a couple seconds to appear and in the meantime you are told that it's "thinking..."

Americans trust federal scientists more than RFK, Jr., poll suggests When it comes to health advice, more people trust the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association than they do federal health agencies, according to a new poll

Ummm, what would have happened if you had not been asked about this? Why frame it like that? Why not just come out with this position without an invitation? Why not, idk, LEAD THE MINORITY CAUCUS?

I worked a nod to Sawtelle into a screenplay about a 20s murder case -- never produced but it did pay for itself by getting me other work.

Very intrigued to learn more about Sawtelle -- I first learned about it in the early 90s and have never seen anyone else mention it before.

Are there numbers on this question for before 2016?

Kristi's boss has a long court-documented history of managing tabloids, of course.

A Plan B for space? On the risks of concentrating national space power in private hands What does it mean for national security if access to Earth’s orbit depends largely on one company?

Americans Stranded in the Middle East Aren’t Getting Help from the State Department “Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation,” a State department hotline said when NOTUS called Tuesday afternoon.

NEWS: Americans were told to evacuate the Middle East — but the State Dept is not helping them do it.

We called the State hotline. First thing you hear is an automated message: "Do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation."

"Dog Days Are Over" is old enough to drive.

His supporters are workshopping answers for him, and he will take the one that gets the most traction

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Thank you, this seems nearly forgotten

I would've bought this immediately

See TRAIN DREAMS

Frost: I saw about an hour ago that Donald Trump said Howard Lutnick is a "very innocent guy." Donald Trump has asserted many times that he knew nothing of Epstein's crimes. If he doesn’t know anything about Epstein’s crimes, how would he know Lutnick is an innocent guy?

Lost 19th century film by Méliès discovered at the Library | Timeless Library conservators recently made a startling discovery in a batch of decaying film reels -- a long-lost 1897 film by early cinema icon George Méliès. The French magician-turned-filmmaker's

"The 45-second film, made around 1897, was the first appearance on film of what might be called a robot"

HELL. YES.

Holy cats. He is disavowing the one accomplishment on which he could still stand tall.

I'm asking you politely: Please don't litter on the internet? AI generated art and music smells.

Offhand, I would list writers like Kim Stanley Robinson, Carolyn See, Robert Silverberg, Connie Willis, Ed Lin, Paul Auster as writers who meet the 5-book threshold for me.

We've all seen versions of this -- Trump leaning in the direction of someone but not actually showing any deference by making eye contact. The person who's speaking is subservient. And also, hmmm, it's the same configuration as in the notorious party footage of Trump talking in Epstein's ear.

No court has authority to prevent the report from being subpoenaed by congress and read into the congressional record, FWIW

"of course people should have known, he didn't hide any of it!" is a valid complaint but the fact of the matter is that a lot of people self-evidently did not understand what they were voting for and they don't like it

Appreciated!

Writing this advice on a paywalled platform like Vox, owned by affluent types who could easily make this article more accessible, seems counterproductive? I subscribe to a mess of online independent news sources but nobody can subscribe to all of them without an expense account for that purpose.
