Since I’m new-ish here, I’ll post this one time and one time only. For those who don’t know, I’ve been battling stage 4 metastatic renal cell carcinoma for 3 years now. I get uncomfy asking for help, but if you have the means to, it would be greatly appreciated.

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.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

All these years I thought the mom in A Christmas Story was just bullshitting that The Lone Ranger’s nephew’s horse’s name was Victor. I looked it up. Victor.

Rob Reiner directed some of the most beloved movies of all time, including Stand By Me, This is Spinal Tap, and The Princess Bride. His production company also made movies like The Shawshank Redemption, Before Sunrise and Michael Clayton. The film industry has lost one of its titans.

I’m absolutely horrified by the news of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle’s murder. His impact on cinema and the world will be felt forever.
This world sickens me.
It doesn’t have to be like this.
May they rest in peace.

No livestream today, we're chugging on a script. BUT right now you can watch the classic Charlie Brown Christmas on AppleTV for free, which I recommend! Don't hit "free trial," instead click the unlabeled play button & decline the free trial AGAIN and you're good to go. tv.apple.com/us/movie/a-c...

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

Has there been any *official* lyric update to The Christmas Song? You know “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” that one. Well there is a problematic lyric about how people are dressed up like other people using a word that is viewed by many as a slur. Has this been addressed anywhere? #christmas
