Your Pope name is: Last thing you ate + number of letters in your first name. POPE HOT POT IV.

Let’s go Knicks!

This guy has just gotten a $1 billion increase, in a NASA budget slashed by $6 billion, for Mars projects www.cnbc.com/2025/05/02/n... Track record: Was "highly confident" in 2020 that his SpaceX would be *LANDING PEOPLE on Mars* by next year. (2026). What a grifter www.cnbc.com/2020/12/01/e...

@mariaressa.bsky.social Thank you✨🙏✨ 👇this is great interview. I've replayed 🎥 the Late Show interview (11/30/22) over and over. This is another one to replay over and over. Each. single. word. 🌟 youtu.be/xpWevZ5yQz8?...

It took me a little time to think of what I wanted to say about Coach Pop. I only worked with him for two years but I learned so much from him during my time there. The first thing I learned it was okay to have other interests.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning: “Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer." [applause] 🙏🏼

I often give newspaper headline writers a hard time. But this is sub-tweeting and situational-awareness at a genius level. ('Journalism' is favored horse in Ky Derby.)

Take 3 minutes to listen to Draymond Green talk about Gregg Popovich

“Airplanes can’t fly without weather observations and forecasts; ships crossing the oceans rely on storm forecasts to avoid the high seas; farmers rely on seasonal forecasts to plant and harvest their crops which feed us.”

Albert Einstein was the inspiration behind Yoda. Special effects artist Stuart Freeborn used both his own likeness and a photograph of Einstein to create the Jedi Master. mc2, E equals.

This exchange is so very telling. Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this: "I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR.

Man, this is a pretty fucking gross move from Amazon, huh? Good on @bookshop.org for not mincing words, though:

New engagement hack: mention the $5k baby bonus without commenting on how much more expensive than that it is to raise kids. I hear they eat an entire egg almost every day.

Still can’t believe @druckmann.bsky.social and co decided to do Joel and Ellie like that. Jesus.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Last of Us S2 is such a harrowing and heartbreaking experience.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

I don't remember the last time I was this emotionally invested

Thank you for that, Slackbot.

Lot of people dunking on this clip, but Murkowski, asked for advice for people who are afraid to speak up, acknowledges that she shares that fear. But she then says it's "not right" that people are made to be afraid of retaliation for speaking up, and says it won't stop her from doing her job.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

In my view, the most powerful scene. Reflecting on friendship.

Hey remember when we found out that top national security officials were using commercial messaging apps to plan operations, rather than secure government channels, so they could illegally sidestep official records acts? So long ago, lost in the mists of time.

The defining trend of 2025 is people searching desperately for secret, complex logic behind choices that defy it.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

White Lotus man. That was heavy.

Head coach of MMA Australian team Renato Subotic arrived in the US to teach a seminar. Instead he said he was detained at the border: "No clear explanation, no chance to talk to anyone, no rights. They handcuffed me, put me in a car, and drove me to federal prison." www.news.com.au/sport/boxing...

When I was a teenager, saw sudden spread of gatherings across the US in protest of the Vietnam war. Heartened to see sudden spread of gatherings across the US in protest of dismantling of the institutions that made America great. (Check out whole thread.)

It’s the new world we live in. There are people out there who believe their guy is the second coming of Jesus.

(debate show voice) what Cory Booker did was impressive to be sure but he also has the benefit of a modern, fiber rich diet and caffei—

“Democracy is fragile. You have to fight for every bit, every law, every safeguard, every institution, every story. You must know how dangerous it is to suffer even the tiniest cut. This is why I say to us all: we must hold the line.” @mariaressa.bsky.social

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

A friend drove two hours today for her breast cancer chemotherapy only to learn it was canceled due to NIH cuts. Clinical trial ended midstream. No treatment, no restart, no plan, no information. Her bro-in-law's chemo was also canceled.
