Four people wearing hard hats work together to lift a large metal object using a wooden beam in an industrial setting. The object is supported on wooden blocks, and industrial equipment surrounds the group.
A person in a hard hat works on a complex electrical panel filled with colorful intertwined wires. Their arm tattoos are visible, and they are surrounded by various tools and equipment within a metal framework.
How many engineers does it take to screw Alvin back together? 🤭
Since last fall, the Alvin Group has been hard at work giving the nation's deepest-diving crewed submersible a regular maintenance overhaul. After sea trials in June, Alvin will return to exploring the deep sea.
NEW PODCAST EPISODE! Michelle Cusolito generously shares her process, where her ideas have come from, and how she follows the muse—even when she’s on deadline for a different project. ;-)

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”
This is real. The President posted this.
Michelle smiles as she rings the brass bell.
Michelle stands next to the brass bell. Her husband Rick stands behind her and friend Alison is to her left.
Big day! Radiation is DONE!!
I’m so thankful for these two. Rick is the person who supports me in everything. And my dear friend Alison drove me to most of my appointments. Yes, I could have driven myself, but it’s so much nicer to go with a friend. I’m so grateful for both of them. #cancersucks
Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6.
Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity.
Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe.
We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.
25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.
Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, l wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin’ Straight, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell- JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP.
This is an actual post by the President of the United States.
Thank you!
I’m almost done with radiation. No chemo.
The Cancer card. The exclusive membership you always never wanted. “Yay it’s time for my radiation/chemo/biopsy/other hideous cancer treatment today!” —said no cancer patient ever. Living with cancer stinks – but there IS one teeny tiny silver lining: The cancer card. Here’s how it works: Is it your turn to do the dishes tonight but you just cannot bring yourself to lift a finger? Need an extra turn to bypass your partner’s documentary and skip right to the Real Housewives of New Jersey? Perhaps you got your laundry into the washer, but you lack the energy to fluff and fold? All these situations are ideal fodder for the cancer card. Just show your card to the closest friend or family member and voilà – skip annoying tasks and activities!
I’ve reached the un-fun part of the program. My radiation fatigue is all consuming. And my skin is pretty angry now: red, itchy, and painful.
Humor helps.
This card came in a care package from my friend. #CancerSucks
Attorney General Bondi will no longer lead the Justice Department.
Her tenure will be remembered for weaponizing the department — using the FBI as a tool to investigate, surveil, and harass President Trump’s political opponents.
We'll continue to hold whoever heads the DOJ accountable.
