Dear Stephen Colbert, You may be no fan of dictionaries or reference books, but we're fans of yours. ❤️ -The Wordinistas at Merriam-Webster

When you travel on the 0.028% of tracks in the USA capable of supporting 160 mph, it feels good to see what train travel was like in Japan in 1964.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus revived "Veep's" Selina Meyer to roast Stephen Colbert before "The Late Show" ends: • “Your cancellation gave Donald Trump so much pleasure I always think of you as the Stormy Daniels of late night.” • “Don’t be too hard on yourself, you’re as relevant as the Bill of Rights” • “You’re Irish, but you decided to pronounce your name to sound French? That’s like putting lipstick on a pig, which I understand Irish people do before they fuck it.” • “So we have watched you age on camera from a spunky kid on ‘The Daily Show’ to a canceled old late night host whose jowls look like the scrotum of… well, a canceled old late night show.” • “When my people said I should come and say farewell to you, I was hoping it would be more of a hospice situation.” • “I don’t want you to worry, the only reason everyone rallied around Jimmy Kimmel is because he’s more popular.” • “All you’ve really got to do is hold on until the corporate jizz guzzler who fires you gets fired, and he’ll be gone once he runs out of new cities for ‘NCIS.'” variety.com/2026/tv/news/j…

#OTD in 1849, the Astor Place or Opera House Riots occur, one of the deadliest civil insurrections in NY history. It’s a tale of culture clash in the mid-19th c. tinderbox of our neighborhood as immigrants + the native-born jostled for power + control: villagepreservation.org/2016/08/25/the…

Lego has updated their age range from the years of 4-99 in honour of Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday: “There’s no age limit for those who never stop playing”

I've updated my NYC 60m subway commute map with an optional outline of maximum transit freedom.

I am so pleased that this won the Pulitzer. Bess Wohl's "Liberation" hit me with a direct emotional impact I hadn't experienced since the "The Normal Heart" revival. It felt immediate and personal, and I saw my mother's life and my sister's life with a vividness that stung.

I made a super simple website where you can see everywhere you can get to in under an hour on the NYC subway. The generated map is both a heat-map (changes color) and a cartogram (warps space). castrio.me/nyc

Very Important Message!! Do NOT, and I repeat do not buy plants treated with Neonicotinoids. Bees take the pollen back to the hive and feed it to the brood. This is a number one cause of the colony collapse. It's important to NOT buy these plants! Make sure to share this post!

Okay this is really great. Have to watch until the end, last couple of minutes it’s unreal choreography.

Le clip en entier de Romain Gavras est encore plus ouf #YungLean #Storm

The collaborative music video from Swedish rapper Yung Lean and GENER8ION transcends the boundaries of a regular music video — it’s an extraordinary visual feast. The choreography was created by the legendary French choreographer Damien Jalet.

the best 3 minutes of video I've watched this year

Dansçıların birbirleri ile değil ritimle senkron olmaları apayrı bir seviye. Görsellik şahane.
