Hopefully it will do better on the small screen than its lackluster experience in movie theaters, despite its stellar regard from critics. youtu.be/feOQFKv2Lw4

Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner were voices of conscience and creativity in American life.
His films were smart, humane, and enduring; her work reflected deep commitment to human rights and civic good.
Together, they showed how art, conviction, and public service can matter—especially now

New Kali Uchis: “Muévelo” is pure after-dark motion: silky Latin pop with a sly reggaetón pulse, bass that sways instead of shoves, and a come-hither groove that says dance closer. Smooth, playful, confident. 💃🏽

It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

US President Trump says that the US is the 'hottest" country in the world.
Not true. That title is owed to Mali and Burkina Faso with an average of 83-86° F.
And US temperatures today are about 2°F hotter than they were in the mid-20th century.
Does Trump think he looks "hot." as in "hot-headed?"

It's so dumb. And the only explanation I can think of is the one I laid out in my Times piece: that Team Trump wants to flood the world with oil and gas, no matter what. Because to them, fossil fuels and American power and now one in the same.

"Trump’s pardon-palooza is not just fueled by his own bitterness at being America’s first felon president, but also a desire for obsequious signs of fealty from the people he’s let off the hook."

If money were no barrier and political crosswinds didn’t exist, wise public policy steps would include stopping development in risky places like the Jersey Shore, helping people gradually move out of harm’s way.

That's not on the table.

HOT OR NOT → BANKRUPT OR NOT?
At Harvard, Zuck’s Facemash (which came before Facebook) had a rating feature called–"Hot or Not?"
If Trump had started it at Wharton,—where they rate balance sheets, not faces--Trump's remix would be: "Bankrupt or Not?" A social network where bankruptcy is a strategy.

In an attack on a boat in the Caribbean of suspected 'narcoterrorists,' Hegseth allegedly gave an order to “kill everyone” on board — a violation of U.S. and international law.

Legal experts say: “This is murder.”

Where is accountability in this Administration?
