Life of Chuck was an amazing film. Another great exploration of the universe and the meaning of life directed by Mike Flanagan. Thank you @markhamillofficial.bsky.social for a poignant character portrayal. It was a perfect way to spend a Saturday night and left me feeling hopeful.

🐻 With Season 4 of The Bear up next week, we thought back to the first time the show used any R.E.M. music when it was just a word of mouth sensation (“have you seen it… it’s really good”), Season 1, "Oh My Heart” in a beautiful scene— “it’s sweet & it’s sad & it’s true…."

I was in Washington D.C. today, where I tripped on the sidewalk, tore my pants, and bloodied my knee. I appealed for help from a security guard in front of the EPA building. She helped me out with some alcohol wipes and bandages. There are still helpers out there in the world. Thanks EPA lady ❤️

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.
"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Seeing the threads cut that connect federal funding to valuable research and career paths is heartbreaking. The pursuit of knowledge and research that helps advance humankind should never be seen as waste.
