The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025.
This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

This Elvis Costello lyric hits hard these days:
Man goes beyond his own decision
Gets caught up in the mechanism
Of swindlers who act like kings
And brokers who break everything
Parker Posey on lorazepam is really Mike White meeting the vibe of the current moment.

Slowly jogging in from the bullpen and working through my warm-up before a save opportunity while the stadium p.a. blares one of those songs from Instagram animal videos where a minion-style voice goes "a doo be doo be doo."

Succession and White Lotus are important television for our times because it's fun and therapeutic to see wealthy people with fabulous lives be absolutely miserable.

developing a theory that internet and dissolution of monoculture have created evolutionary pressures on all forms of entertainment that have resulted in their refinement to be more and more targeted towards a specific audience
I know I post many Cornish sunsets that I have filmed, and I hope they don’t feel repetitive. I just feel they can help folks in a small way to feel a moment of calm if you’re struggling and to remind you that there is still a great deal that is beautiful in our world. Rest well, my friends. #calm
Golden waves on the shore of the bay.
Sunset guards the end of day.
The lighthouse tall, a watchful eye,
Guiding the night as shadows fly.
Stormy clouds in the amber glow,
whisper secrets where cold winds blow.
Silent sands and the ocean's song,
Holding dreams where hearts belong.

Saw two David Lynch movies on the big screen over the weekend and noodling over a short essay about why it's really important to embrace weird art right now.
TLDR: Authoritarians always come for weird art.
me in 2005: Jurassic Park is unrealistic because it's a movie about a dinosaur theme park
me in 2025: Jurassic Park is unrealistic because the rich CEO of the dinosaur park is not immediately handed complete control of the US National Park Service
microplastic particles can be small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier, and concentrations in the brain are higher than in the liver or kidneys, and rapidly worsening.
really tired of seeing people write 'broken english' dialogue in RP to suggest 'foreignness' in their characters. it's lazy and grating and it's time to think about second languages more thoughtfully. even just from my observation, second language mistakes tend to come more from >
New starred review for Everything Is Tuberculosis! writes, "John Green's exceptional combination of memoir, medical history, and cultural analysis... memorably probes the intersections of medicine and human emotion, while sounding the alarm on this crisis."

Big fan of director James Whale being asked by censors to provide a "moral lesson" to the end of 1935's Bride of Frankenstein and responding that 2/3s of the main cast getting blown up in the end should give "sufficient warning to anybody, I should think."

having issues with a cast and team being openly and unapologetically supportive of a ship that involves two men, where the love between them elevates their story, in a time that’s tumultuous for gay ppl across the globe. you desperately need to reassess your priorities
My questions for NASA HQ at this conference mostly boil down to - are you trying to protect the scientific community? are you taking risks to help us not collapse from the inside? What is the future of planetary science worth?

The degree to which — and the speed at which — "elbows up" has become a national rallying cry is really quite remarkable.
Mike Myers is basically our Churchill.
watching Roberta Flack’s memorial service on YouTube. Ms. Lauryn Hill sang “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” she sounds GOOD.
The James Webb Space Telescope has peered deep into the mysterious Flame Nebula. The star-forming region, located in the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, has a long history of observation from telescopes such as the Hubble Space Telescope. (1/6) 🔭 🧪 🧵

Five years ago this week, the World Health Organization called the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic.
In the United States, officials declared a national emergency, triggering travel bans for non-U.S. citizens and shutdowns nationwide.
Canada's government has refused to issue an emergency order to help the highly endangered southern resident orca population, shared with the U.S. Only 73 whales remain. #biodiversity has the story for

I love how Monk sometimes breaks with the conventions of the impossible crime genre by just not explaining how the impossible part was done. Who cares about that nerd stuff? Here's twenty minutes of Tony Shalhoub straightening things.

Every six months, I accidentally listen to the CVRCHES/Robert Smith collaboration "How Not to Drown," listen to it on loop for two days, and weep for a universe where they did an entire album of collaborations.
I really love listening to alternative rock but if I'm being honest my favorite thing to do is watch movies
What do we think library patrons, in the blue blue sky are we alone? Curious about the documentary The Age of Disclosure.

Y'all...I refuse to believe that Dan Moore is the signing that tips the scales for Tennessee to draft Cam Ward at No. 1 overall.
Like...how? It's DE Abdul Carter, WR/CB Travis Hunter or QB Cam Ward. How is Dan Moore impacting this in any way?
