God Bless Paul Davies and the @PhillyInquirer: "The only person who should withdraw from the race is Trump...There was only one person at the debate who does not deserve to be running for president. The sooner Trump exits the stage, the better off the country will be."

one of my deep seated beliefs is that elephants are one of the other high level intelligences on this planet and that if there is a judgment day humanity will be held to account for our crimes against them www.theguardian.com/science/arti...

Don't worry kids, it's just an awkward coincidence that major news outlets like @washingtonpost.com and @thedailybeast.bsky.social are replacing their top editors with right-wing propagandists before the most fraught election in American history.

This is why book bans are on such a steep incline. The far right extremists who organize them are capitalizing on easily inflamed bigotries to defund institutions of public learning bc it's the most effective and cheapest way to cling to their power.

Just fold the studio into Disney and kill it already. Make Toy Story sequels till the sun fucking burns out. Love how this shift conveniently happened when more woman/POC were really pushing to direct their own stories. Defining their experiences as not "universal" is saying the quiet part aloud.

TRUMP: If they can do this to me, they can do this to anyone. Yes. If you commit 34 felonies by filing false business records to cover up election interference, you too can be convicted by a jury of your peers via the due process of our criminal justice system.

Richard Linklater's romantic thriller Hit Man is minor Linklater but major fun, w/ movie-star-in-the-making Glen Powell as a philosophy prof who moonlights as a fake contract killer (based on a real guy!). See it in theaters to show Netflix that, yes, we still like movies. slate.com/culture/2024...

I hope people understand that what we are seeing is the systematic destruction of the civil war amendments by the Supreme Court, which are what made America and actual democracy and upon which all minority rights in the United States rely

GOP campaigns staffed with young operatives who are into Nazi stuff is bad actually. Very charitable explanation of "just trolling" is still quite bad. Do you know what they called people who weren't into Hitler's worst ideas but backed him because they liked how it bothered people they hate? Nazis.

Now I’m no tech visionary, but if I asked a very famous actress to provide the voice for my product and she turned me down, I would not simply use her voice anyway (Statement from Scarlett Johansson on OpenAI’s “Sky”)

#DYK  it's rumored that the character design for Yoda was inspired by tarsiers?   The resemblance is uncanny! ‌ Happy  #StarWarsDay, and May the 4th (of nature) be with you. 🌍🧪

They've done it! Voyager 1 is talking to NASA again. After 5 months of absolutely heroic efforts from the JPL team, they isolated a single faulty memory chip in one of the onboard computers. The coding workaround sounds both cunning and devious, and it's worked. 🥳🧪🔭 ℹ️: blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/

Now that Tom Cotton and Josh Hawley are calling for the National Guard to be deployed to Columbia, it's worth remembering what happened when the National Guard was deployed to Kent State and Jackson State some 54 years ago. New post at CAMPAIGN TRAILS: open.substack.com/pub/kevinmkr...
