Oscar-winner Ryan Coogler recalling how a college writing professor pushed him to become a screenwriter & the possibility of #Sinners being taught in film curriculums someday: “I have so much respect for professors…for dedicating their life to future generations & making sure their minds are solid.”

Am I the only one who's now looking for the people's faces in grass? #benitobowl

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

Love the Buffy sledgehammer vibes from Joyce in #strangerthings (and think I can make a decent case for the whole thing as an allegory for perimenopause)

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

Fascism is using us American Jews as moral human shields, covering its takeover with lies about protecting Jews. They aren’t. They’re pushing Jews into harm’s way, as some Jews become fools & believe it & some non-Jewish antifascists are fooled & believe it. Only fascism profits from this lie.

Thanks to his new Tesla pay package, Elon Musk could stand to make $3 billion more per year than all 1.4 million elementary school teachers in the U.S. combined. Still wondering if inequality is out of control?

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

A personal memory of Dick Cheney: I had a better seat than him for Hamilton qt the Public. "History has its eyes on you"

"Depends on who you ask" framing is one of the most grating tics in modern political journalism. Objective reality exists and your job is to describe it.

Enjoying the hell out of the rock and roll hootenanny that is the Melissa Etheridge / Indigo Girls show!

Found my first “woke” shower in Florida of all places. There must have been women in on the design process to come up with the fabulousness. Men, don’t worry if you’re confused . . . it’s not about you.

A little bit of blue sky for Bluesky

Oh hey, so you just do owe people kindness. This “I don’t owe people anything” mentality is toxic. You simply do owe people things. This is part of being part of a society. You just DO owe people politeness and kindness.

“We, a diverse coalition of Jews at Columbia and Barnard, wholeheartedly reject the invocation of Jewish safety as a pretense to persecute, detain, and deport fellow students and community members without due process of law.” www.columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2025...

Anyone out there hold stock in a public company and usually ignore the proxy vote info? Now’s the time to pay attention and make your voice heard on things like making the company hire a 3rd party human rights review board. #myownershipmyvoice

Fear & concern are coded feminine, so they get translated into anger, which feels more tough. Hurt & disappointment are coded feminine, so they get translated into outrage & aggrievement. The simple human need for love & affirmation is coded feminine, so it gets translated into demands & control.

Grievances 16-19 in Declaration of Independence 16. "For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world" 17. "For imposing taxes on us without our consent" 18. "For depriving us in many cases, of the benefit of Jury trial" 19. "For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences"

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

Things still terrible, but: Viktor Orban was unable to stop protests in Budapest; Musk's money couldn't win the Wisconsin Supreme Court for Repugs; Marine Lepen is fuming over her court loss in Paris; and Corey Booker made a bravura stand against Trump in the Senate. More days like this please.

If you're scooping up students off the street for writing op-eds, you're secret police, and should be treated accordingly.

“When a man gives his opinion, he's a man. When a woman gives her opinion, she's a bitch.” ― Bette Davis Happy International Women's Day

College folks, it’s always time to be an ally for our students but now it’s more important than ever to support our trans students. Thanks Vince Fisher for this one - I am forever a big fan! eab.com/resources/bl...

Has anyone told him there’s another America yet?

One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

TWO ads with flying facial hair???? #superbowl

Happy birthday Bluesky - I remember it well . . .

“While it keeps everything running, the thermostat will sometimes completely lose its shit over seemingly minor malfunctions, especially if it’s the one responsible for them.”

Less doomscrolling and more cats today, please

Conservatives have substituted "DEI" for their old trope: "affirmative action," as their polite way of saying only white men are qualified to do anything significant. Slightly more sophisticated sounding, television-friendly, guttersnipe racism is still racism.

“Higher-education advocates cannot stand idly by as legislatures wipe out the pluralistic promise of general education, retaining only those course offerings that fit within the narrow imaginations of politicians and ideologues.”

Saw a file on my desktop named “trash this.” Asked my colleagues if I should trust that and the consensus was that I’m an unreliable narrator in my work life.

The drum cadence theme in #TheSticky is incredible. Bravo FM Le Sieur

There’s gotta be a highly competitive licking contest among all the cats right? Major points for eyeballs and inner ears means my girl is at the top of the leaderboard. #CatSky

Laughed out loud at Donnie Brasco as the one with the rabbit on A Man on the Inside. Bravo for hitting all emotions.

Perfect day for a rewatch

Nothing I love more than taking my co-workers down a rabbit hole with me. Today's was a deep dive into the mating habits of bald eagles and everyone getting fully invested in www.dnr.state.mn.us/features/web...
