I have given birth to a lovely baby boy named Pleistoanax Deckard. I will not be revealing the father at this time.

Unbelievable news. Pancreatic is one of the deadliest cancers. New paper shows personalized mRNA vaccines can induce durable T cells that attack pancreatic cancer, with 75% of patients cancer free at three years—far, far better than standard of care. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

I know I'm way more willing to walk than most people but the number of times I ask someone if something's walkable and they're like "Oh absolutely not" and then I search on a map and it's, like, 1.1 miles away...

In light of everything happening, I wrote about how the KKK in the 1920s felt unstoppable, about the people that fought against them anyway, and about how fascism always fails. dansinker.com/posts/202…

The regulatory state, when functioning well in the common interest, is a pinnacle of civilisation almost without parallel. Only human beings would be stupid enough to build it, and then start making up reasons to tear it down.

I don't know why but I thought the whole ABS MLB thing meant to replace home plate umpires rather than allow for 2 challenges per team per game. Now I kind of love it. It really inspires this dynamic of the umpire as a third opponent rather than this force majeure influencing the game's outcome.

Love that every time I sign onto LinkedIn they have a dedicated bad vibes sidebar

A James Bond TV show for a streaming service in 2025 is gonna be insufferable. Just 10 episodes of a guy that doesn't call himself either James Bond or 007 yet and then in the final episode, he orders a martini, shaken not stirred, and we all politely clap and Season 2 takes 5 years to come out

Rare Interview with Fever Ray : Karin Dreijer on early life and The Knife

I'm not exaggerating when I say that congestion pricing may be the only major, meaningful, successful change I've noticed from a US governmental body at any level in the past two years (local, state, federal)

Everyone, please read this: (h/t @j.wieche.rs)

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

I wish I could pay to rent an album. Like, $2 to listen to an album once through or something like that. Specifically, I would like to continue to discover music in a low stakes way while putting money directly into the hands of the artist. #musicsky

Nostalgia is such a disease dude. The finite nature of art underscores its beauty and whimsy, if you love something let it die!

despite everything, the world is beautiful

This is important — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Incredible updates from Hulu

I know an em-dash hates to see me coming

One of my most deeply held beliefs is that happy hours, while well-meaning and even fun, are ineffective at facilitating connection and it's incumbent on us as community organizers to build experiences that facilitate connection and create (rather than assume) a sense of belonging

It just hit me tonight how shocked I am that Spotify wouldn’t have thrown a bunch of money at Shazam to acquire it or at least attempt to copycat it. It doesn’t surprise me that YouTube, Tidal, Apple Music, etc. wouldn’t do it. But it does surprise me that Spotify hasn’t.

One thing that’s really chill about this moment in time is that all of the worst people in every facet of life are celebrating nonstop.

I have such a dumb but earnest question for my modest following on here: What do you like to see on Bluesky? What kinds of posts make you want to visit this app? Truly: No wrong answers. I'm genuinely curious!

Here's a banal thought to help offset an otherwise nightmarish feed: I started preparing my thermos of tea the night before rather than the morning of, and by the time I get to work it is the *perfect* temperature.

Super Bowl commercials are never actually funny but they seem like they should be funny because they are very expensive

Well Super Bowl Saturday is over and neither team showed up, nor did the fans. A totally empty stadium! This whole debacle is a complete embarrassment for the NFL. Thank god the TV stations forgot to broadcast it too.

i wonder why these guys hate the CFPB so much ohh

I'm not sure why but the AI fever pitch has actually made me feel like I want to try to learn to code, and yesterday I had an idea for an app that's so vivid in my mind that I feel like I may start pursuing it with a Howard Hughes-like obsession. Any advice or tips are welcome!

Okay I'm not one to be high-and-mighty about phone usage because like many of us I am addicted to my phone but I can say with a high degree of confidence that I'm not stop-and-block-a-doorway-looking-at-my-phone addicted

Let's go!!! 🚀 Here's a link to the Open Beta for Flashes (iOS-only for now)

One ideology I can never and will never subscribe to or support is, "I better do this to you before you can do this to me"

Congestion Pricing is creating tremendous benefits. Subway Ridership: ⬆️ 13% Bus Ridership: ⬆️ 6% (⬆️ 21% weekends) Transit Crime: 🔻36% Fatal Car Crashes: 🔻44% Trip Times: 🔻10-30%
