“I see Patti LaBelle [at an awards show] and Patti LaBelle recognizes me and she grabbed me and said, ‘I listen to your song when I work out. It’s an inspiration for me. Your song inspires people to work out. It gets me going.’”

I've been thinking about an unusual kind of garbage problem. When the Large Hadron Collider shuts down, all those high-speed particles have to go somewhere.

This is where: An 8-meter-long radioactive graphite trash can, called a beam dump.

lmao I called my local coffeeshop to see if they were open today--my fave barista happened to pick up & she was like yep we're here and also we have almond lemon loaves left [one of my go-to pastries] truly if you want the benefits of being loved you must submit to the embarrassment of being known

"Politics would be interesting again" is such a telling phrase, a sign that you're so insulated by money and power that it's all just entertainment for you.

Explosive reporting in Le Monde confirms what was apparent all week: Macron resisted the emergence of anti-far-right front after round 1. His PM, Attal, forced it as a fait accompli, & pressured for drop outs to block RN. Even then, Macron made some phone calls to undercut it.

there are a lot of reasons that american presidential elections take so long but a big one imo is just money. it takes time to raise a billion dollars. others include our ridiculous and arcane system, how big our country is compared to european democracies, etc.

McEntee for those of you who don’t know is a wildly misogynistic alpha male TikTok influencer who posts on an account called “Date Right Stuff.” He’s also a failed college quarterback who entered politics through via a Fox News job he got from his industry dad and a viral trick shot YouTube video.

my hot take is that the president should be and live like a normal human, and so I reject the premise that the president must work 130 hour weeks and never be well-rested. he has dozens of staffers who can cover shifts!

Fugazi is in every single respect a better band than Minor Threat, but this song is so great. It's not surprising that I like it so much because you can hear eg Dag Nasty and the Descendants and suchlike in there.

Heather's coverage here is full of important context for what comes next. We're likely to see more future conflict between Judge Pallmeyer and the CCPSA about who should have structural purview over different areas of CPD policy and practice. This previous coverage focuses directly on that conflict:
