“Of course in the old days Bluesky was only on for three hours a day. We used to get dressed up in our Sunday best to log on to it. Then when it shut down again we’d all stand up and sing the national anthem”

If you speak out against a man, even people who believe you will find you annoying and embarrassing. He may not even be someone you know, but it will be treated like you're talking about your husband's farts at a dinner party. As if mere gender obligates you to keep a man — any man's — secrets.

I’m Mark Zuckerberg, and I just bought all of these based on your recommendations. Keep up the good work!

Acetaminophen Exposure During Pregnancy and the Risk of Autism in Offspring This cohort study evaluates the potential association between prenatal acetaminophen exposure and risk of autism in Danish national registers.

In another massive data set of more than 1.5 million children ‌born between 1997 and 2022, the use of Tylenol during pregnancy was NOT associated with autism, even after accounting for ​individual risk factors. Autism was diagnosed in 1.8% of children exposed to Tylenol and 3% of the unexposed group.

It would be nicer if sexual abuse was less common or if consequences for it were meted out consistently, rather than in sporadic bursts precipitated by media attention and public pressure, but I will Take! What I ! Can get!!

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap.

I can’t believe it 😭

was once New Amsterdam.

As I’ve said: We elected the one person in the whole world who is NOT interested in reading the President’s Daily Brief.

You'd hate to see this spread everywhere, like airborne fentanyl except real.

She grabbed the microphone and turned it DOWN. The silence was spectacularly intentional.

i think we should be clear that just because the astronauts did not immediately declare the moon haunted, does not mean it is not haunted

it may mean that the astronauts are now themselves haunted

have we prepared for this eventuality and if so how

She’s so scared.

Bullseye. Max Kennerly today: "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

When they try to pretend the issue is simply "how" you protest, tell them that 58 years ago today they assassinated a man using non-violence as a weapon because he fought for Civil Rights for Black people.

“When Bill Withers showed up,” Halverson says, “he comes walking in with his guitar and a straight-back chair, like a dining room chair, and asks, ‘Where do I set up?’ I showed him right in the middle of the room, and then he left and he came back in with this platform, a kind of wooden box that didn’t have a bottom. It was about four inches tall, and was maybe 3 foot by 4 foot; it was a fairly large platform, and he set it down in the middle of the room. Then he put his chair on it and got his guitar out, and he’s sitting on top of this box. So I miked him and I miked his guitar, and then I was doing other things—getting sounds together. “But then he calls me over and he points down to the box and says, ‘You gotta mike the box.’ Well, the way I was trained, you serve the artist, whatever the artist needs. So I got a couple other mics and I miked the box, the place down near the floor, next to this platform. “And now, when you listen to ‘Ain’t No Sunshine,’ you know that all that tapping that goes on [while Withers sings] ‘I know I know I know’ all through it, actually, that’s him tapping his feet on the box, which is actually more intricate than the guitar on that track. He had evidently rehearsed that in his living room, maybe for years.”

"You gotta mike the box." the engineer Bill Halverson on the making of "Ain't No Sunshine," 1971 (from a Mix interview in 2012)
