You Can Never Let Them Think They Have A Chance | Defector I don’t remember the first time someone hit on me as a reporter. I believe this is because my brain has come to treat these events as unremarkable. For any woman in journalism, they pile up over the y...

I wrote about Dianna Russini, the constant pressure female reporters face to prove they aren't sleeping with sources (plus the pressure we do get from sources to get involved with them), and why all of this is so uncomfortable to talk about.

The Pokémon universe goes hard on ecology and climate science The Pokémon franchise, including its recent game Pokémon Pokopia, is inspired by real animals and their ecology. It’s no surprise that so many scientists love to try and “catch ’em all”

My latest for @sciam.bsky.social is all about the real biology, ecology, and climate science that is used to create the world of Pokémon, and how scientists use it to teach science in the real world.

This is just about the most fun I’ve ever had interviewing anyone, and I hope you enjoy! 🧪🌎

Who are you supporting? Asking quite seriously — anyone who you support on housing policy is someone I’d want to strongly consider.

It also awakened a thousand year old demon spirit embedded in MS Windows 3.1 which foretold humanity's demise before escaping through a vent. We are working with Microsoft to address this issue.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

There's something a bit poignant about a Bluetooth device failing to connect to another device right next to it when they're the only Bluetooth devices for hundreds of thousands of kilometres around.

Less well known events where you can see people up close. Team handball is amazing. Water polo has great athletes. Trampoline is fun (but quick). If they don’t care which sport it is, pick any that won’t have tens of thousands of people there and it’ll be great. (That’s how London 2012 was for me.)

Cops Arrested a Black Pastor Watering His Neighbor’s Flowers. The Alabama Supreme Court Is Fine With That The opinion in Jennings v. Smith transforms the state’s stop-and-identify law into a show-me-your-papers regime.

i just think Watering Flowers While Black should not be an arrestable offense

nor do i think this should be controversial

Nextdoor posters out there defending the scenic beauty of... parking lots? No, seriously, that's what they're doing. (The "village" in question is Los Altos. Not a village.) It's not just M. A brigade of people are extolling the downtown parking and saying it's Los Altos' neighborhood character.

If he’s just thinking about their time in office, I think it’s safe to say that William Henry Harrison also did no war. Maybe Linus would enjoy reading about that odd presidency?

The current 12-game Jeopardy champion works at an affordable housing finance agency in NJ, and shamed New York for not building more housing:
"NJ's doing really well, we're ahead of NY, CT, PA. If you're from one of those states, shame on you, build more housing."
