You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

It's hard for me to pick my favorite Calvin and Hobbes strip, but this is certainly the one I relate to the most.

Maybe instead of fifty-five thousand remakes of already great films we could - and stick with me here - adapt books that haven’t been given an adaptation before. Or write ✨ new ✨ characters and new stories.

Imagine that.

We don't think it's gross! We don't want less relevant models to study wound healing! We're launching a new field of Menstruation Science at MIT! I hope you join us for the launch on April 9 in person and online! cgr.mit.edu/2025/03/17/s...

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Great thread on egg price gouging!
Re: bird flu vs price fixing. Retail egg prices have ~doubled in the last 6 months, and there's no possible way that's just from bird flu messing with supply.

Let's walk through the math!
But to what degree does that apply now? Something like a quarter of all layer culls from the entire outbreak have happened in the past few months

First video is up!

Deporting farm workers means Americans will have to step up & do the job.

As an ex farm worker, I'm reaching across the aisle to give my fellow Americans handy tips for their new career- because I know they're ready for this! ❤️ 🧑‍🌾 🦅

Not everyone processes words the same way. Audiobooks make books accessible. That’s a win, not a loophole. 📖 #BookSky

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

wanna do a poll but there's no poll here, so i'll make one like this:

question: do you always read the entirety of a news article or just the headlines/excerpts other people post?

like: entirety
share: headlines/excerpts

Genuinely curious what recommendations you all have for shows that either have been around for a while that may have been missed and underrated or any new series or short series. Just watched The Perfect Couple and Nobody Wants This and a few too many horrors. What are some good holiday binges?!

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!

No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

Just a reminder that there’s an app available for your TV called PBS RETRO where you can watch all sorts of wonderful old pbs shows like Mr. Rogers and Reading Rainbow, you know, in case you might need that sort of energy right now
