Peter Baker reported from Moscow in the early days of President Vladimir Putin’s reign. "This reminds me of how the Kremlin took over its own press pool and made sure that only compliant journalists were given access," he wrote of the White House's plan to handpick reporters. nyti.ms/41uUaN0

“Montana Republicans have introduced a first-of-its-kind bill that would criminalize women for getting certain out-of-state abortions, accusing them of ‘trafficking’ their own fetuses. “…Republicans have broken a legislative seal—signaling that they’re coming for women’s right to travel.”

Many years ago I performed Small Angle Neutron Scattering experiments at NIST. This is insane. These are dedicated scientists whose expertise is impossible to replace. It takes decades to achieve that level of competence. www.wired.com/story/the-na...

Can’t wait! I wonder if we will see ART this season or we will wait till next one?

"... the left could use this moment to make legible what DEI policies actually do to make workers lives more stable and humane, could emphasize that this is not niche stuff for college campuses; it is policy that enables more humans more access to better lives." nymag.com/intelligence...

I finished The Murderbot Diaries that are written so far. I’m looking forward to the last 2 books. Book 6 was confusingly placed between back to back sequels 5 and 7 as a prequel. The first 4 are my favorite but each one tackles something a bit different.

It’s a few days old but a great long sit down interview with @hcrichardson.bsky.social youtu.be/f-78R0monV4?...

I repeat…

From the party that is always using an “Anti-Human Trafficking” message, this is sadly very on point for the every accusation is a confession aspect of their record. The Tate brothers deserve to be locked up for a long time!

Next up in my reading list: Age of Ash by @abraham.bsky.social

Why isn’t Dichen Lachman on Cameo so that I can get my strange list of outie trivia read to me ominously? #severance

I’ve been binging The Murderbot Diaries by @marthawells.com rather than getting dragged down by the news. It love the murderbot! And can’t wait to see what Apple TV does with their adaptation. They have been doing some great sci fi shows recently so I hope this follows the same trend.

Now that the Baldur's Gate 4 character portrait series is complete (or should I paint Minthara?) I should probably show off the originals #art
