My own opinion is that it's good to signal (through words and/or actions) the virtues that you value; that's one of the most important parts of maintaining a healthy community.
I really hope James Woods was able to save his Oscar… oh wait, that’s right. He never won one.

This is what the Old Guard fails to understand. If your plan is to go into the office 16 hours after these things, have your staff type up a press release for you to approve which goes out a few hours later, then you need to give up your seat to someone who understands it’s 2025.

That's how much Big Oil has spent over the last 30 years paying off Congress to look the other way on climate action while the planet burns.
Well, the planet is burning.
Don't let them look away.

I have a favorite song about driving a train while high on cocaine. But I’m not going to tell you what it is. You have to guess.
There's an enjoyable irony that all of my odd interests that folks belittled when I was young, that they'd never make money or matter - history generally, military history in particular, video games, Tolkien, Dune - are the things I have built my career, such as it is, on.
If a director of a movie says in the middle of a 30-minute comprehensive making-of video:

Rock songs in the 70s were like "She's a dangerous woman, she'll play you like a fiddle, she'll steal your heart and ruin your life. She's 16."
I went to the Jimmy Carter public visitation in the Capitol Rotunda last night. My friend and I arrived around 9pm. It was below 20 degrees with the wind chill.
Wait time? 3.5 hours. Thousands of people were waiting outside in the freezing cold for hours late at night to honor Jimmy Carter.
My heart is breaking for our city.
Hearing today of so many friends who have lost their homes…just devastating.
Sending life and thanks to all the incredible first responders. ❤️
ABC, NBC & CBS dedicated about 16 minutes of airtime last night to the California wildfires without once mentioning climate change.

There's a forgotten history that should serve as a warning — wildfire isn’t unique to the West. Now the warming climate is increasing the risk of major wildfires across America. And more people are moving to fire-prone areas without realizing the danger.

So, why did Donnie Coke Jr. and Charlie Kirk share a honeymoon suite on their little trip to Greenland? And order $3,000 worth of lube and condoms?
I made it up, but do feel free to spread it. Truth doesn't matter anymore, sweeties. 🤭
Over 15,000 doctors have signed a letter imploring the US Senate to reject Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s confirmation for Secretary of HHS.

Thank you President Carter for your incredible leadership, legacy and life of service.
These days are not good at all for so many people around here, so I'll try to brighten the mood, even for a second, with a new Hubble image! 🔭
This is the NGC-5530 galaxy, as seen by Hubble earlier today. This galaxy is located some 40 million light years away.

This amazing image combines Webb (at top left) & Hubble's (on bottom right) face-on views of barred spiral galaxy NGC 1512.
Webb’s observations put together near- and mid-infrared light & Hubble’s ones display visible & ultraviolet light.
