A British Pathé newsreel recorded the event and the reactions of awed onlookers, but made absolutely no mention of the Redstone’s original and primary nuclear-war mission, instead quipping that with its range and speed, “Maybe rockets like these are the long-awaited answer to a commuter’s prayer.”

Going public with an experience like this is life-altering for a woman, so when you read these stories remember both the extraordinary amount of courage involved and also the likelihood that there are many others you’ll never hear.

By the time the doctors in Boise put her on a plane for Salt Lake City, she’d already lost a liter of blood New standard of care just dropped:

Or they show DC and the character drives by the Lincoln Memorial like...DC people ain't driving by the Lincoln Memorial every 5 minutes. They're never driving by that!

I love when movies say they’re in DC and then show the Pentagon in fucking Arlington. Smh

Was working on a text and laboriously typed "Siouxsie and the Banshees" only to watch helplessly as autocorrect changed "Siouxsie" to "Susie" and all of a sudden I want to burn all of Silicon Valley to the ground. That's not an overreaction is it?

If you add all their decisions this week together, what the Supreme Court is arguing is that homeless people should stop being homeless by bribing public officials and committing securities fraud.

IDK, gonna need to get John Roberts' thoughts on this before I think it's a good idea for the FDA to be on top of this.

New test results released by the FDA found that bird flu virus is making its way from dairy farms and into milk processing plants but also confirmed that the commonly used flash pasteurization method fully neutralizes the virus.

I was just in St. James Parish, LA interviewing local residents about the overwhelming pollution in Cancer Alley. I don’t think most people understand how bad it is. I didn’t.

Pretty cool how we have a robust right to jury trial if you're some lawbreaking hedge fund or corporation trying to delay agency action, but if you try to sue one of them, there's an endless gantlet of federal statutes and procedural rules designed to throw your case out before you get to a jury.

Yikes SEC v Jarkesy is out.

It would admittedly be pretty funny if one of these swirly-eyed dingleberries backed into a major energy breakthrough because they needed to create enough juice to continue producing Jesus-But-Made-Of-Shrimp images at an industrial scale.

A "generation" is defined by whatever editors and news segment producers find interesting. That's how you get this idea that everyone in Gen X was listening to Pearl Jam or whatever -- an illusion Gen Xers have benefited from, but that confuses people about politics.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.

What everyone wants for their birthday is a happy birthday message their friend didn’t bother to write.

Apple, Microsoft and Google say AI smartphones and computers will automate tasks like editing photos and wishing a friend a happy birthday. These companies need something from you to make that work: more data. Our tech columnist breaks down what to know.
