Came across a story about Georg Duckwitz and needed to share. He’s not very well known, but what he did in Denmark during World War II helped save thousands of Jewish lives!

Black and white portrait of a fair-skinned man in a dark suit, wearing circular glasses, looking slightly to the side with a hint of a smile. The man has short, dark hair, and the image is a medium shot with a neutral background.

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb.

Once upon a time, Europe was at war.

Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

I sleep very lightly and having a 13 yr old dog with mobility issues makes me very prone to waking up to puppy noises. Last night the 13 yo woke me up crying quietly. I jumped up to discover... his bed was static shocking him. His Einstein hair was lighting up everytime he moved.

The sun is rising on a new year in New England. It snowed overnight and the sun is rising over a quiet snow white city. I'm allowing this to be a good omen for 2026 washing away the negatives of 2025. We move forward, the only way out is through.

Flu numbers are high in most states and almost all cases are variants of H3N2 and the vaccine includes H3N2

Get your flu vax if you haven’t already! Even if you still get the flu, the symptoms will be easier to manage if you get vaccinated!

Wow. @weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social, advocates with infection-associated chronic conditions have been reaching out to you and your staff for years, under the impression you'd share your trademark compassionate curiosity with the public on the matter.

I'm disappointed in you.

I got a new snow shovel this week and I'll get to use it for the first time today. You know you're old when you're excited for a new snow shovel.

It's a metal snow shovel. I try to buy as little plastic as possible, and that was a surprising challenge.

Good piece on rest! @exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social quoted extensively.

When I was dxed with #MECFS the dr said, “you need to rest.” And the gamechanger: “audiobooks are not rest” — I still think about that statement when I need to check in with myself about whether I’m actually resting.

Two people and two small white dogs pose around a large seal statue. They are all in heavy winter coats. The woman in orange and the dog in blue are sitting on the seal statue. The dog in a red coat is standing on the ground in front of the seal. The man is in blue and is standing behind the seal. The seal is a statue in Roger Williams Park to show the area of the park where seals were kept when it was first built. All animals are now inside the Zoo area of the park. A man, woman, and two small white dogs pose on a yellow couch. Behind them is a Christmas card and a mid century ceramic tree lit with multi colored lights.

The Providence firefighters were treating two wounded students when they suddenly heard gunfire. That's how they realized there was a mass shooter at Brown University -- and that no one was safe. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/12/22/m...

In a modern world of mass shootings and other tragedies, firefighters have demands and duties like never before.

Sharyn Alfonsi is an award-winning journalist who has worked for 60 Minutes for 20 years. Before that she reported for ABC, CBS & local news outlets. If Alfonsi says her story was spiked by Bari Weiss political reasons, that’s exactly what happened. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/b...
"Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices," Ms. Alfonsi wrote in the note, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times. "It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now, after every rigorous internal check has been met, is not an editorial decision, it is a political one." In her note, Ms. Alfonsi said that her team had requested comment from the White House, the state Department, and the Department of Homeland Security. "If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a 'kill switch' for any reporting they find inconvenient," Ms. Alfonsi wrote. "We have been promoting this story on social media for days," Ms. Alfonsi added. "Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of 'gold standard' reputation for a single week of political quiet." "I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight," she wrote.

This year, many people resigned their posts at the slightest hint that the Trump regime was displeased with them instead of staying and making someone fire them.

Sharyn Alfonsi is showing us why you stay and refuse: you make clear your superiors are wrong and may them pay the costs of firing you.

Again, from Michael Grynbaum, here is Sharyn Alfonsi's full email.

It must be read:
News Team, Thank you for the notes and texts. I apologize for not reaching out earlier. I learned on Saturday that Bari Weiss spiked our story, INSIDE CECOT, which was supposed to air tonight. We (Ori and I) asked for a call to discuss her decision. She did not afford us that courtesy/opportunity. Our story was screened five times and cleared by both CBS attorneys and Standards and Practices. It is factually correct. In my view, pulling it now-after every rigorous internal check has been met is not an editorial decision, it is a political one. We requested responses to questions and/or interviews with DHS, the White House, and the State Department. Government silence is a statement, not a VETO. Their refusal to be interviewed is a tactical maneuver designed to kill the story. If the administration's refusal to participate becomes a valid reason to spike a story, we have effectively handed them a "kill switch" for any reporting they find inconvenient. If the standard for airing a story becomes "the government must agree to be interviewed," then the government effectively gains control over the 60 Minutes broadcast. We go from an investigative powerhouse to a stenographer for the state. These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless. CBS spiked the Jeffrey Wigand interview due to legal concerns, nearly destroying the credibility of this broadcast. It took years to recover from that "low point." By pulling this story to shield an administration, we are repeating that history, but for political optics rather than legal ones. We have been promoting this story on social media for days. Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate censorship. We are trading 50 years of "Gold Standard" reputation for a single week of political quiet. I care too much about this broadcast to watch it be dismantled without a fight. Sharyn

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.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.
