A black and white photo of Joseph Bell with white hair looking down and reading a book, next to an original illustration of Holmes smoking a pipe.

My next book (October 20) is on the Victorian medical detective Joseph Bell. SLEUTH-HOUND is a whirlwind tour of Victorian forensics from the perspective of the man who loaned a voice and razor-sharp logic to Baker St.’s famous resident: Sherlock Holmes. /1

“Once the men were on the patrol boat, the US personnel boarded the fishing boat and stole the crew’s food and the beer, Palacios said.”

The first panel shows a crow with the title "How to live a good life". The second panel shows a crow cawing at itself in the mirror with the subheading "Make friends". The next panel says "Explore" and shows a crow looking into a commercial waste bin. The next says "Try new things" with a crow eating something vile. The next one says "Be curious" and shows the crow grabbing a hissing cat's tail". The final frame says "Get a hobby" and shows the crow looking closely at a book of matches.

Cannot wait. I got to talk to the team behind this in 2023, who told me: "Believe it or not, this is 100% stop-motion, including the explosions and sawdust. We filmed the sawdust separately (tried millions of takes...) and layered the best version with the characters."

Pancreatic cancer mRNA vaccine shows lasting results in an early trial Scientists caution that more research is needed, but nearly all of the patients who responded to the personalized vaccine are still alive six years later.

Yeon Sang-ho’s masterpiece TRAIN TO BUSAN is heading back into theaters across the United States and Canada on August 14.

Presented in 4K for the first time on the big screen!

Personally don't recommend these. As the article notes, these properties are typically achieved through PFAS, which can shed carcinogens in your home (which you then inhale) or come out in the wash (polluting waterways for decades). Will try to do a thread on how to treat stains in the wash.

I know at first glance many folks might be inclined to dismiss these as "who needs that", but it really is a shame to think of skills, crafts, something that someone used to dedicate their life to to make useful things, dying out because they weren't practiced.

My story on the 57 forest service research stations that are going to be closed is up now

A banner with text that reads Ducks in a Row | Duxxx in a Row, Curated Collections of Queer Stories. Beside this are two mock-ups of books, their cover titles matching the text. Duxxx shows art of a line of people sunning themselves on the beach while reading, and Ducks shows a group of people cuddling in a pillowfort while one of them reads aloud. There's a "Projects We Love - Kickstarter" badge in the upper right corner.

This is an informative thread for Canadians, about the Carney cuts to the heritage sector. Enormously damaging impact to heritage.

Carney told Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen that the mission around the moon was a point of national pride. He's cutting the Canadian Space Agency by 33%.

I don’t even have words for this.

zackeryatlas 12h The degradation of society: 1. Celebrating the k!lling of a CEO 2. Cheering on warehouse arsons 3. Making heroes out of people who attempt political violence You can be outraged at the system and still not glorify violence. These aren't wins. This is a society losing its moral compass. [Coming from a liberal btw]

I don’t know how people keep forgetting that workers rights were entirely written in blood and the capital class had to be threatened with violence before they agreed to things like 8 hour working days and 2 day weekends.

Eliminating libraries in prisons is a disaster, completely shortsighted. Libraries are a lifeline for incarcerated people who want to learn and grow, and have few other options.

Hungary election results live: Orbán concedes to Magyar's Tisza after projections show opposition winning two-thirds majority The opposition Tisza party appeared on track to win Sunday's national election, early results showed, in a potential landmark defeat for veteran Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

FUCK YES

Most prescient, clear/eyed work of writing I’ve read on reorg.

Read it.

Then act.

“Call your senators. Call your representative. Not next week or later. Now.

Tell them this is not a reorganization — it’s the destruction of a federal agency by executive fiat and that Congress must intervene.”

Food & Water x The Sameer Project Translating Falasteen (Palestine), in collaboration with The Sameer Project, launched a fundraising campaign to support families in Gaza facing severe hardships. Our mission is to provide food & water...

If you want to help families in Palestine, you can support The Sameer Project's initiatives. They're a Palestinian-led, on-the-ground aid group that collaborates with other networks to provide vital food, water, shelter, and medical care to families during the ongoing genocide

I need everyone to understand this is eugenics in action—not just “quackery.” Much like the “anti vax” movement as a whole.

I'm going to give to the Sameer Project again today instead.

hey i’m being real fucking serious right now

call your reps. this is insane. he already had thousands of jobs removed from the us fish and wildlife service. dismantling the us forest service will have a devastating impact on habitat protections.

im too mad for words.

Imagine is all the world’s governments spent money just on cool stuff like science and space instead of wars.

A streak of fire entering the Earth's atmosphere made using overlapping letters and punctuation marks from a typewriter, inverted to white on black, and colored with watercolor Caption reads "welcome home"

"perfect splashdown" are good words to hear

Also whoever gets to go to Mars, please make it a crew like this, they have been an utter delight

‘There’s never any urgency, until it’s too late’: 3 months missing, what happened to Kelly Hunt? Posters for Kelly Hunt, a 19-year-old woman from Shaktoolik, remain up around Anchorage’s Spenard neighborhood where she was last seen three months ago, as her family and advocates continue pressing for answers.

This happens far too often. An indigenous woman goes missing and you hear very little. Kelly has been missing since January 9. Someone knows something. She left her belongings at a house she was staying at. #Alaska #Missing
