@DanielStrauss4 you should watch it!!!

@dylanlscott I’m too afraid to watch Weapons

Obligatory Oscar Night Top 10 of 2025 that no one else cares about: 1) One Battle After Another 2) Weapons 3) Train Dreams 4) Bring Her Back 5) Superman 6) Sinners 7) Wake Up Dead Man 8) Strange Harvest 9) The Testament of Ann Lee 10) (tie) Black Bag/Presence

JUST IN: Plaintiffs in the lawsuit to restrict ICE’s use of force in Minnesota filed an emergency motion with the 8th circuit court of appeals tonight to reinstate those restrictions. It included this affidavit from a person who witnessed today’s shooting:

I don't know what to do with the fact that my government is giving federal officers permission to summarily execute protestors at will -- or the knowledge that thousands (if not millions) of my fellow citizens are eager to lie in service of such violence

I can't decide which is more chilling -- watching federal agents commit a murder, or seeing the government and its supporters smear the victim with *blatant* lies

You don't need to be a liberal to oppose what ICE is doing. You just need to value your own most basic rights. vox.com/politics/47626…

I talked to the authors of the disputed brain study and this comment stuck out to me: “We’re living longer than ever. Let’s not panic.” Just maybe avoid microwaving food in a plastic container — and go live your life: vox.com/health/475307/…

I think we have to find a better equilibrium for thinking about plastic. It has enabled many of the wonderful things we enjoy as modern humans. It also presents some health risks worth taking seriously. Both things can be true! vox.com/health/475307/…

We have to stop freaking out about every new microplastics study vox.com/health/475307/…

@LoganDobson There's always nuance, but I think there's plenty of evidence that many of the chemicals within plastics are harmful to human health, even if questions of degree and our exposure levels (to the Guardian's piece's point) are a work in progress #report" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">plastchem-project.org/#report

@dylanlscott I think that first point is a lil overbroad

Hakeem Jeffries got some grief for making the shutdown about health care, insisting on a clean ACA extension Now the House has passed it, and Senate is taking up the issue Feel like he’s due some credit—and maybe an apology My latest at @BulwarkOnline thebulwark.com/p/obamacare-ac…

I am so sad tmz.com/2026/01/10/gra…

It’s one particularly wonky example of how politicians warp reality to bend it to what they want people to believe — not what actually happened. And at the end of the day, even if they misled people, they won the fight. That’s politics, I guess: vox.com/health/474724/…

It’s a subtle thing. But the industry and Congress clearly felt they had a stronger argument if they portrayed the Biden admin alcohol study as coming after the industry-preferred study — and they have consistently twisted these facts to advance that story.

I gotta say, it was pretty rich hearing Dr. Oz claim there is no evidence for a more specific limit on drinking alcohol: vox.com/health/474724/…
