pain is learning your 4 year old has a brain tumor in the morning. and watching her 10 year old sister play with her, trying so hard to hold back her tears so she doesn’t scare her little sister. all you can do is turn around and scream silently into your fist until it bleeds.

i've lived in the united states for most of the 42 years i've been alive, and i've never had people be openly racist to me. until i heard from all the people either openly on X or privately in DMs hurling racist abuse at me for switching to the republican party. eye opening.

overwhelmed with gratitude for the 1000s of messages of love and support for mira. truly, thank you - it helps more than you know. mira is out of surgery and doing so well that she gets to go home today! we’ve bought a lot of time and are feeling hopeful.

The Netflix "ta-dum" soundmark is one of the all time greats, but doesn't work as well in a theater because it's only 3 seconds long. So Netflix commissioned Hans Zimmer to extend it for theaters and ... it's ... so ... good.

today, a mother had to go home and tell her 4 year girl that she is never going to see her daddy again because he chose to exercise his 1st amendment rights in public. freedom is not free.

her name is mira by the way. and she is the funniest, snarkiest 4 year old you’ll ever meet. (this expression is canonical mira.) i’m not particularly religious but i have never more appreciated having her in people’s prayers.

okay so AI can literally read our minds now. a team from osaka was able to reconstruct visual images from mri scan data using stable diffusion. first row is the image presented to the test subject, second row is the reconstructed image from mri data. wild.
