FINALLY.

First image in your camera roll that makes you laugh out loud.

(Seriously, I grew up in a Hoosier household so basketball was something I had to deal with, but WNBA has kindled my love of the game. But the Pacers and Men’s IU/Perdue/Notre Dame* can put themselves in the bin.) *fingers really want to write Notre Damn

When you KNOW where your team is. Miles is just lit.

This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

Funniest thing about Emily Wilson’s review of the odyssey is how she enjoyed the movie she just doesn’t think it’s a good adaptation of the source material nor a coherent movie. And if you disagree with her about this, then you’re not really a Nolan fan, you’re just a Nolan fanboy

*This* is a person I want given the Full Chotiner.

I haven’t yet, but Tom Hanks can make anything good!

YES! There’s so much! It’s like a whale fall, but for other creatures entirely!

Yup. Ice cream’s thing is only French custard types are actually safe (they’re pasteurized in the custard making process) and most others aren’t. So all it takes is a little bit of oops.

Oh, Mayday is AWESOME. Captain Steve is also good, because he’s a pilot (retired? Almost retired) and has one of those soothing voices. Sometimes anxiety really does need, “It can always get worse“ as a counter. But also, plane crash investigation documentaries are pure competence porn.

Any time someone calls trans people or our rights an "issue" every alarm bell in your head should be going off at full volume

(I put on airplane crash documentaries or there’s a couple of engineers who are more than happy to armchair quarterback building fails when I need something in the background. I know, morbid, but also… it’s like being in the car with my XY droning on about concrete.)

That man will say anything as long as they pay him, so yes, I share your antipathy.

YES, it definitely has some Ancient Aliens in its lineage.

As for the hull… so many ships had low level coal fires because coal is such a pain in the ass. And most of them didn’t sink. So yeah, it sucked, and maybe it made an ugly patch, but that’s mostly just clickbait for the conspiracy theorists who aren’t happy unless there’s a Conspiracy.

Well, some of it goes back to 1912. There were A LOT of women and young men who survived who saw the ship broke apart just before it sank, but then there were a whole bunch of men who scoffed at that, so for 70 years, the common wisdom was “didn’t break up”. Because misogyny. But now there’s pics!

Straight man, instead of responding to this by telling ME how much you love Nolan, talk to each other. The loneliness epidemic isn’t going to fix itself.

Very sad to say that I was laid off yesterday along with a bunch of great @salon.com colleagues My time there was short and busy: I got to write about books and relationships and how much gen AI sucks and people being horny for Frankenstein’s monster Some of my faves are linked below
