We’d like to share a remembrance for Betty Reid Soskin, the oldest serving National Park Service ranger in the country, who has passed away. Her life and work helped preserve history, expand whose stories are told, and inspire generations to come.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

@ericidle.bsky.social really bummed to see Spamalot running at the Kennedy Center. I'm sure you're not excited to see the show's name and "Trump" on the same ticket. Any plans to address it?

lot of terrible people in the world. rick steves is not one of them.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

The Sunset is dark & quiet during the blackout.
Pedestrians are using flashlights to get around & restaurants have closed early. Kitchen staff are taking the bus or scootering home.
Patrons are dining by candlelight.
Elsewhere, Waymos are stuck, snarling traffic.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.
It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

Yesterday played out exactly as many expected a cover-up. When 119 pages of grand jury documents are released entirely redacted, that goes far beyond protecting victims’ identities. A court ordered these records released, yet what the public received was effectively nothing.
