This is a Tim Bagley appreciation post. He was transcendently lovely on SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE in its final seasons, and he's doing subtly complex work on third season of THE COMEBACK streaming right now. 🫡
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Exactly one year ago today:
we just really don't know much and I'd like us to act with that humility more often
Home page of CNN talking about Notre Dame students' feelings on Trump vs the pope
Unfamothably silly timeline we're living in. sigh #goirish ☘️
It’s hard not to see Vance’s criticism of the Pope’s theological bona fides as just silly hubris.
But I also see it as a stress test of sorts — can they manipulate sentiment against a pontiff. Not for Trump’s interests. More likely for Thiel’s.
incredible that the lifelong Catholic in this specific situation is The Pope
"The Pope is incorrect on matters of theology" is excommunication time.

Friends, I've talked about it before and I will again. The PBS app is fantastic, and for a $5 a month donation, you can get allllllll of the content. Way cheaper than any streaming and it's a good cause.
For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.
“I thought it was me as a doctor” is such a childish lie that the media’s refusal to call it that and drive in circles to say “trump denied it was an image of jesus and said he thought it was a doctor” is an implicit admission that they will never truthfully report on trump for the rest of his life
I just got another book club email, where someone claims they have hundreds of members who would love to discuss my book, which they just came across, despite it being obscure and published 17 years ago. I’m guessing at some point they ask you to pay for this non-existent honor. Jerks.
This woman is a handpicked Trump supporter from Arkansas and she is less anti-trans than the median Atlantic columnist
Revealing that *this* is what it took to prompt pushback from the Christian Right. Not all the sexual assaults. Not all the murders and violent attacks. Not all the cruelty to the poor.
The Pope is weak on crime.
The Dalai Lama is soft on budget deficits.
The Lubavitcher Rebbe doesn’t have a comprehensive plan for highway maintenance.

We get an American Pope and he proceeds to drive the American President insane by repeating shit Jesus said. It's really amazing
Lord, I’ve seen what you’ve done for others..
I hope more people focus on the import of this turnout last year. Not least bc standing up to bigotry can itself be a rallying cry.
no one is doing it like jd vance, a loser across three continents in a single weekend
Analyzing Trump decisons🤝 Santos figuring out weird cases #ThePitt
So the official stance of the US Military is to board and seize commercial boats in international waters. My brother that's just called piracy??
They brought back measles and now we're bringing back pirates, we're really speedrunning ourselves back to a Victorian romance novel
Making tenure count, for MSNOW I wrote about my employer, The University of Iowa, creating a center for intellectual freedom. It's a reactionary project built on decades of conservative propaganda about higher ed.
Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.
Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...
Hello, I made you a feed of your cats watching the Artemis II splashdown bsky.app/profile/did:...
Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.
Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.
Welcome home, Integrity crew!
Hard not to be jealous of anyone bobbing gently the Pacific with three friends and no signal right now.
Hang on… they’re texting me a code I have to enter.
