[Two side-by-side photos of a black and white cat's snout viewed from above against a solid blue background. The white fur on the cat's nose makes it look like a snow-capped mountain.

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her.

Nick Park spent the '80s making A Grand Day Out mostly alone. It was a school project that got out of hand -- he wanted to quit many times.

@rmfifthcircuit.bsky.social Raffi, here's a question for you from the nonknowledgeable-but-curious. Bearing in mind that the company being sued is apparently defunct: can this decision be appealed? And if not: what deterrent power does it have? www.courthousenews.com/ai-training-...

Absolutely devastating. If anyone in the Bay Area spots Julia's work (maybe being sold on a corner somewhere) give a head's up. bio.site/julialundman

Tu Youyou discovered a substance used to treat malaria. She tested the new drug on herself to speed up the time needed for development. That drug has now saved the lives of millions.
Later today, we will announce the 2026 medicine prize. Who will be the next to change the course of medical history?
