House Democrats Press for Vote to Bar Military Action in Venezuela The effort would invoke the War Powers Act, which expedites action on measures limiting the president’s war-making authority. It faces long odds in the G.O.P.-led House.

Fascinating piece! David, have you ever tried navigating in this way? I think navigating with my stomach might make me seasick at first…

Thanks for the tip, Andy!

He’s the ‘Mozart’ of Math and Trump Killed His Funding The latest casualty in the administration’s assault on higher education is a legendary researcher who embodies the best of America.

Dylan’s nails were long for guitar playing. You must look at many other guitar players’ nails. Also long.

Absolutely, and best actor too! Edward Norton for best supporting actor. Freaking shame that Hollywood hates Dylan.

Agreed, Timmy Chalamet#, you wuz ROBBED! Edward Norton too! And Gary Oldman.

@barrieauthor.bsky.social Hey David—following you! Made any connections here yet? BTW, congrats on getting Sunday Times Nature Book of the Year! Well deserved.

I first heard about Callsheet on ATP and was admittedly skeptical that it might rival the encyclopedic reach of IMDB. Was I ever wrong! Now it’s the first and last place I check for info about a show I’m watching or might watch. Especially cool is the ability to block any spoilers — or not!

Highly Recommended by a former IMDB user. FAR superior!

No login prompts, no ads, no spoilers: just the movie and TV info you want, fast. Callsheet by @liss.bsky.social is out today: https://www.caseyliss.com/callsheet

This is indie app development at its best: take an existing app that doesn’t respect its users and make a better, faster, nicer version
