The only thing I’d approach this guy about is putting in some requests and asking where else I can hear him.

What’s the crime, having too beautiful tone? Playing too smooth?

NASA astronaut Christina Koch sits in an U.S. Navy MH-60S Seahawk attached to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of the San Antonio Class amphibious transport dock USS John P. Murtha (LPD 26) after returning from space on Apr. 10, 2026.

This picture of Astronaut Christina Koch after the Artemis landing is frankly incredible and beautiful.

Friday Fog. This morning in Chicago's South Loop at sunrise.

Andrew invited to throw himself into the Thames.

"Invited" is such a brutal word in this context.

“It’s a couple of things that work beautifully in concert. First: no music. Audiences are so sophisticated, but what they’re not accustomed to is not being told how to feel,” Wyle says. “You take all that out and it forces a level of engagement where you’re now looking for clues within the frame of the screen, which forces you to look up from your phone. And I think that is extremely engaging, especially to young viewers who aren’t accustomed to being asked to participate in a nonpassive way in the viewing experience.

“Second point, shooting it with almost exclusively 50-millimeter or 65-millimeter lenses, which is the most comparable to the human eye—and only shooting from the point of view of a human being that’s present in this space. There are no cameras on gurney wheels going in the hallway. There’s no cameras on the ceiling looking down from a God point of view. You are limited to the perspective of a participant. You can look away, but you can’t leave, and it becomes an endurance test for you to stay on your feet as long as we’re on our feet. Which [brings me to my] third point: real time. Real time has an aggregate sense of tension that you don’t get in any other form of storytelling. What happened before is happening now, and these two things are going to add up to the next thing. And if we throw more ingredients into this cooker and keep ratcheting it up, it’s going to pop.”

Wyle makes eye contact for his next point, delivering it with a Robby-esque matter-of-factness. “Fourth point: The election went the other way,” he says with a shrug. “We could have been a really good show with a lot of nice things to say in a perfectly normal Kamala Harris universe. And instead we became almost a beacon of hope and humanity in an alternative universe. But in the midst of that, fifth point—this is essentially competence porn. You’re watching really smart, dedicated people do what only they know how to do at a level that you don’t know how to do it, and you’re so fucking glad that they’re there doing it, and compartmentalizing their own stuff to put your broken pieces back together. You’re so reassured by knowing that there are people out there that laugh and joke and have the ability to lock in like that.”

this is fucking unreal stuff from Noah Wyle on the magic of The Pitt. www.gq.com/story/noah-w...

1/ The news of massive job cuts at the BBC is highly concerning and we send our solidarity to members of our sister unions @nujofficial.bsky.social and @bectu.bsky.social who are facing job losses

First good thing of 2026 just happened.

God, this is it, isn’t it?

Absolutely cannot rule this out.

Ray Stantz and Winston Zeddemore trying to take down Gozer the Destroyet.

Look, I know it isn’t the key takeaway, but what is this thing?

THE POPE IS WEAK ON CRIME! feels like the title of a spec that fits in the middle of the yearly Black List and gets released two years later under the title THE MAN IN THE HAT.

I block on sight any account posting AI pictures as if they are real.

I may start blocking folks who repost those kinds of posts, particularly if a bunch of people in the replies have already pointed it out.

Space pictures are amazing. They don’t fucking need AI.

I will accept mutuals of mutuals on this btw

(I have two real qs, and the main one should be v yes/no levels of v quick! and yes the specific date is v relevant to my q)

"You boy! I never had a relationship with Epstein."

When you don't pay people what they are worth, you are merely training them for your competitors.

It’s actually absurd how many times I’ve seen people say this bullshit and act like it’s an original thought.

Your theory is neither interesting, unique, nor correct.

the little “well I dunno actually” grimace after “what the fuck are you talking about” is killing me

You won’t convince me that this isn’t Imagine Dragons.

This is a thing I've had to deal with a lot, people will say about a guy I reported on "oh well at least he apologized." In all cases, the guy Did. Not. Apologize. Sometimes they've used what I call "remorse-shaped phrases" that are not & never were actual apologies. Which seem to always get a pass🙃

I’m caught between wanting to know more and already knowing too much.

3 boxes of butterscotch, 3 boxes of pistachio, and 2 family size boxes of chocolate Jell-O pudding. Which should get me through the next couple of weeks…. but after that—OH GOD WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT?

Mother in law visited from the US, and I might just about make it through April now.

Watch your words folks. Seriously.

The Artemis II crew captures a portion of the Moon coming into view along the terminator – the boundary between lunar day and night – where low-angle sunlight casts long, dramatic shadows across the surface. This grazing light accentuates the Moon’s rugged topography, revealing craters, ridges, and basin structures in striking detail.

A closeup of the moon fills the bottom diagonal 2/3rds of the photo, and it shows hundreds of large and tiny craters, lit brightly by sun. The distance a small blue planet earth, dusted with white clouds, is rising over the moon's horizon. The rest of the sky is pitch black

On the left, poking into the frame, is the round edge of the Artemis 2 capsule, with a solar panel jutting off diagonally at 2 o'clock. In the middle left of the screen is the moon eclipsing the sun - so the moon is mostly dark and ringed by a bright grey-white corona

NASA's photo galley from yesterday's lunar fly-by are bonkers gorgeous

A robin in a nest it has made in the folds of an outdoor table umbrella

Over the weekend, one of the tables outside the tea room at Arlington Court, Devon, was cordoned off - because a robin built a cosy little nest inside the umbrella!

To give them some peace and avoid disturbance, we've temporarily closed off the area until they choose to move on.

Anti-trans hatred is the very lifeblood of 21st century fascism and we need everyone to wake up to this simple truth before it's too late.
