Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

My Xmas Eve hot take is I hate when fans insist superheroes need to do everything solo and that team-ups + crossovers are dumb. Evolutionarily speaking, humans are better as a collective, rugged individualism is a lie. Why would that not extend to superhumans? Kill the Ayn Rand inside your head.

have the enzymes in pineapples and kiwis gotten stronger? or has the inside of my mouth gotten significantly weaker?

i swear i used to be able to eat more than a couple bites of those fruits without feeling like i had chewed on a battery.

every now and then when i get violently stressed (like i am now) i think about how i should just charge men on the internet money to be mean to them. it would probably be much more productive.

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.

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.

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.

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

She frowned and went: "No, you gotta complain more. Don't NOT do the work, but let them know that it's not easy. You've got the "Curse of Competence" and they're gonna work you to the bone and never compensate you for it if you don't pipe up now and again."

So I think it's twofold: Managers, you gotta be wary about the workloads you're giving your direct reports. Things need to get done, but you also need to manage up and say: "If you want this done, and in a timely way, I need more people."

And you? You gotta complain about the work a little bit more

Why is it that, in a world where dictionaries are digitized and instantly accessible at our fingertips, I feel like we are less adherent to the meaning of words than ever? 🫠
