Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Had a smile on my face the whole time I was watching the new MUPPET SHOW. Especially when I saw Schmigadoon! choreographer Chris Gattelli in the audience! (he's choreographing Muppets now) Favorite number: "Islands in the Stream." Can't wait for the next episode! ❤️❤️❤️

Jenny Cohn is always on point.
It’s a really bad sign if they are calling up Roger Stone who ran the Brooks Brothers riot in 2000 (to stop the Florida recount), cavorted with the Proud Boys & Oath Keepers before Jan 6, & was a primary architect of so-called “Stop the Steal” campaigns in 2016, 2018, and 2020, 1/

Fermée par l’administration Trump, la plus importante revue scientifique sur la santé environnementale renaît de ses cendres
« Environmental Health Perspectives », née en 1972, avait cessé toute activité sur décision du gouvernement américain, et ses riches archives avaient disparu. Une société savante la reprend.

California is down with this plan. Solvang will be the new capitol. We will have train travel, single payer healthcare and aebelskiver.
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

What? The AI companies have misrepresented what they're doing and how it was done? That's unpossible!
GenAI companies keep claiming the books and copyrighted works their programed were "trained" on without permission didn't retain complete copies in their systems. This was a lie.
