The “media bias” chart so many people keep sharing is very dumb. This one I made a few years ago contains the same information and is just as useful.

The deaf dancer was accompanied by strings, including the fabulous pianist and cellist Valentina Irlanda, who has a rare muscular disease and must use oxygen and a wheelchair. What talent. www.tiktok.com/@valentinair...
The Paralympics opening anthem was played by three alpenhorns, a theremin, and singing glasses as the lead instruments. Unexpectedly beautiful.
The Paralympics Opening Ceremonies have been fantastic. There was an acrobatic/aerial act with a spinning mirror door that was extraordinary, an electronic musician with folks setting up optical illusion set pieces to play on, a deaf dancer, and this band who rocked the march. meduzamusic.net
Every Friday we have a group lab materials, equipment, safety, and staffing (MESS) meeting, 9 AM online. I needed to screen share a document we're working on, and the camera turned on. Welcome to my couch with echoes of CPAP straps on my makeup-free face.
Today, *I* am the MESS.
Kindergarten teacher voice: "Okay, WaPo, we don't have to say every thing that comes into our inbox. That's a silly idea! No, friend, catch a bubble, we're going to make some different choices."
“No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.” www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
It's written in basically the same tone (and I did the audiobooks, she read them both). It's pretty stark realism. It's hard to say I liked it because nobody in it is particularly likeable, but the story's really catchy.
good lord, a marine was calling out Senator Sheehy during a senate hearing so Sheehy gave him a compound arm fracture and then the cops tried to put the marine in handcuffs
@wyden.senate.gov @bynum.house.gov We The People did not ask to go to war. AGAIN.
I just finished Jennette McCurdy's "Half His Age," which was a somewhat fictionalized version of a relationship she had at 17-18. It's about a student-teacher relationship, and it reads like Lolita met Less Than Zero and Genuine Fraud. It's not long, but it's a lot.
My mistake, as ever, is taking a second to hope anything is moving in the right direction.
Was this a job option? Because for money I will also read to you aloud from the latest research because I WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW COOL IT ALL IS
Yes, I am a Science Bard. #scicomm
Animals vs. Magicians is exactly your gig.
We do maybe one or two in a row as we watch it, agree, but it hits the right spot these days.
I don't know if y'all are watching Strip Law on Netflix, but it's so stupid and hilarious. It's so very Las Vegas meets Bob's Burgers meets Always Sunny. There's a running gag with a guy named Lunchmeat. It's all pretty perfect.
Quite literally: God damn it.
Kuwait "accidentally" blew up 3 US F15s yesterday, using arms that were given to them by the US. $270 million plus whatever the weapons cost in one shot, but sure, we can't afford to feed our own schoolchildren.
There was a peace plan almost in place. The US was NEVER going to agree to it because everyone in charge is a bully, and We The People are about to pay for it. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/....
This week: we're bombing Iran, servicemembers can't attend a whole swath of colleges anymore, measles vaccines are under further attack, no actions for those in the Epstein files, and we still have absolutely zero rein over the braying Jackass In Chief.
Good, great. It's what day?
Oh boy, that was the LEAST of the display's problems, trust. Parts literally falling off the models. Parents reaching over displays to stick their kids' heads in mechanical snapping mouths. A lady sticking her bare feet into a Lego pile. Workers who 100% did NOT want to be there.
Jurassic Quest was janky as hell but look at these cuties. Kid loved it. Worth it to go once.
puppooooooooo
Got worse. One more pit of Lego. Saw a lady sitying on the side with her BARE FEET stuck into it like it was a wading pool.
Took my son to the travelling Jurassic Quest show. These dinos are in rough shape, but for ultimate Dash Con realness: here is the BRICK FEST LIVE they advertised as a whole bonus event. Two tables of Lego.
Real hour in the ball pit energy.
For the morning crowd: I'm a longtime Patron and fan of @siennaartstudios.bsky.social, and this opportunity for her to create art of bats in Peru using equations and numbers significant to their biology and ecology is worth funding. BAT ART and science communication!!! #sciart
