@tomlevenson.bsky.social Looking forward to your inevitable take on this. Don't know about you, but I've completely lost patience with the point of view that this is somehow caused by the "culture" of science and medicine. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/25/o...

@jfallows.bsky.social What is a "flight control issue"?
For a few terrifying moments on Thursday, passengers were tossed around on a JetBlue Airways flight when the plane suddenly dropped in midair before it made an emergency landing in Tampa, Florida, the FAA and the airline said.
JetBlue Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Tampa After Losing Altitude
The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane “experienced a flight control issue” on Thursday. More than 15 people were taken to hospitals after it was diverted to Florida, officials said.

Who knew Tylenol was so damn interesting? Beautifully written piece by @mmolteni.bsky.social in @statnews.com recounts the fascinating history of a ubiquitous drug. www.statnews.com/2025/09/25/t...
From an elixir for ‘little hotheads’ to deadly overdoses, how Tylenol became a medicinal scapegoat
Over its 70-year history, Tylenol has become one of the world’s most ubiquitous drugs, but also one whose safety has periodically been challenged

I . . . think we can handle this?
Fall has officially arrived.
That means days are getting shorter, the weather is turning cooler, and winter is on the horizon.

Fall officially arrives with the autumnal equinox. What to know.
The season will officially begin Monday at 2:19 p.m. Eastern time, the exact moment of the autumnal equinox.

Didn't the Tube once have "Keep to the Left" notices everywhere along the corridors? (Would save me from having frequently and increasingly acerbically to point out that "this is a two-way thoroughfare").

Hey, @sfchronicle.com, no love for #Oakland #Ballers? They just forced a winner-take-all Game 5 tomorrow night, but unless I’m missing something it’s crickets in your sports section.

This is a tragedy. Those buildings are truly unique, and beautiful.
A fire late on Wednesday tore through a warehouse in Brooklyn’s Red Hook neighborhood that was full of work from more than 500 artists. “It’s all we have,” one artist said, calling the fire a “huge loss.”
Five-Alarm Fire on Brooklyn Waterfront Devastates Artists’ Warehouse
A row of converted 19th-century buildings filled with artists in the 1990s and transformed Red Hook. Now the work of more than 500 artists may be lost.

The world would be such a better place if looking at everything through “Gen” filters (Millennial/X/Boomer/Z/whatever) never arose. Is this just an American thing, or do other countries buy this idiotic, tedious shit?

Would be good to acknowledge Deborah Butterfield, who has made similar sculptures for at least 40 years. In her newest work she casts the wooden forms in bronze, but her earliest work used wood, just like these.
