🧵 Are you following what could be this year's most consequential East Coast ocean story? Odyssey Marine Exploration is asking the Dept. of the Interior for a lease to mine ~2,500 sq. miles of seafloor off Virginia's coast. Here is why this raises major red flags: 1/7
breaking a baby’s collarbone isn’t a bridge too far!!!!! i know i shouldn’t be surprised but FUCK that’s too dark for my soul to handle
Abdul El-Sayed’s win represents a big blow to the politics of bygone days. Because if one campaign can show that *that* much money and *that* much old guard support doesn’t guarantee victory, it cracks open what can be imagined. It widens the aperture of what’s possible.
Will This Be AIPAC’s Biggest Defeat – Ever?
Prem was on hand in Michigan to witness the nail-biter between Abdul El-Sayed and Haley Stevens, which appears to have gone down as an astonishing failure for AIPAC.

I’m surprised at the number of people who I’ve been seeing laud Hansard with no acknowledgement of how he groomed the girl from Once but I shouldn’t be surprised at that kind of behavior at this point, I guess
I have looked through the NYT's financial statements and people should know that the NYT's profits have gone up significantly since 2022, not because of news-only subscription revenue, but because of revenue driven by puzzle and recipe subscriptions, alone or bundled with news.
Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 6d agoThis may be true of others but I actually got express permission from the trans community to keep NYT games and recipes. I also have a news subscription, which is arguably worse, so I had to specifically send in a written request. Took 30 days but I got approved.
i think the wilson–nolan stuff was so explosive because nolan-heads are susceptible to the delusion that his stuff is much more highbrow than it really is, and bluesky heads are susceptible to the delusion that they are the number one homework do-ers, and wilson threatened both myths simultaneously
Anyway when are we getting a big director adaptation of the Manas epic
Half the planet is having a massive fight about how to correctly interpret an Ancient Greek poem but go ahead, close some more humanities departments.
The oddest thing about the response to this essay is people who say it’s “personal”. You can disagree about some or all of it! I may well be wrong! But it’s not “personal” to analyze a film or other work of art, even negatively. Criticism is more than “Hurray!” or “Hiss!”

I think it’s just fine for a woman who is the foremost expert in a topic to be mean to a man who came into her sandbox and made a mess and had fun doing so. Let her cook.
if you want to know who is stealing tax payer dollars, look at the people with all the dollars
ProPublica@propublica.org · last wk.ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing. From the archives:
I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’re losing recipes re: criticism. Even reviews of Morrison’s novels in the 90s that were ultimately positive would include barbs that I think would shock people today. A lot going on there, but popular criticism used to be just as tough as Emily’s review.
Potential 2028 Presidential candidates who put out a statement commemorating the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act: -Wes Moore -JB Pritzker Ones who did not: -Kamala Harris -Gavin Newsom -AOC -Jon Ossoff #ADA36
Well, this article is incredibly depressing for cooking enthusiasts. The short version: private equity has, over the last couple of decades, quietly bought up most of the classic brands you’ve heard of and then traded on their names while drastically cutting quality and closing American factories
