Yet another argument for funding basic science.

A letter from the creative team behind the production protesting the censorship of the show and inviting those who share their view to reach out to the school administration.

I just played in the pit for A Chorus Line at a private Catholic school. A top admin came to preview night and required them to change "tits and ass" to "this and that," and defused all the f-bombs. This was inserted in all programs moving forward. Resist everywhere!

This photo (currently on the WaPo home page) is giving off strong kindergartner "damn, I'm gonna get in trouble" vibes.

Grayson tells me I should have posted this for national cat day or some such.

Seems like there are more celebrities attending tonight. My theory: Dodgers fans are cocky and thought they'd wrap this up with Game 4.

And they sell booze past the 7th inning 🥂

Now that we’re in the 18th inning can this count as both games 3 and 4?

I would not want to be that pitcher

[P] This game shall continue until they release the Epstein files

really glad to see these sportsball players are getting healthy 16th inning fruit snacks in the dugout

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

Shameful. What are the odds that the "remodelling" (unencumbered, as it apparently is, by any kind of oversight or public process) will include plenty of ways for his Russian "friends" to keep tabs on what's going on in the White House?

The Nobel Committee understood the assignment.

MAGA’s government shutdown was totally avoidable, and I will keep fighting hard to get government back open. In the meantime, my team and I have put together a dedicated resource page to help your family navigate this rocky time.

NO ONE wants this.

We may need photos!

Like crazy doctor clothes? Are you supposed to be part of the laboratory? I am not seeing the artistic vision behind this choice. 😂

I'll take any good signs the universe wants to send our way.

That seems overly revealing.

Teaser to article with corrected verb tense now reads "The price of beef and other grocery items is claiming, and consumers are turning to canned meats and a 1970s staple."

Ha - they fixed the teaser on the home page. The article to which it links still has the error.

It would have been more elegant to use "prices."

And Great British Bake-off!

A six-ish mile stretch of Highway 101 on the SF Peninsula currently displays eight different billboards for eight different AI companies. I am not the target market, but I've only heard of one of these companies.

It's a fool's gold rush around here.

Oh, it was easy to imagine - the sign was in the post office. And there were two identical signs!

In case you were wondering:

And if they do, who's gonna stop them?

Grayson has found his light and is having an extensive bath. I see hairballs in our future.

An Israeli airstrike kills a prominent Al Jazeera journalist and colleagues in Gaza Al Jazeera's Anas al-Sharif and five of his colleagues at the network were killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting Gaza's most recognized television journalist.

Killing. Journalists. Is. Not. Ok.

The shittiest of shitshows.

I'd love to be in Golden Gate Park this weekend for the deadhead fest, but I couldn't stomach the exorbitant ticket prices. I'm grateful that both of our local papers are sharing setlists from the show. #weareeverywhere ✌️🐻🎶
