One of the coolest things about honey is its theoretically infinite shelf-life. 3000-year-old jars of still-edible honey have been found in Egyptian tombs — they used it medicinally for all sorts of things.

It is right that the murder of many people be mourned and lamented.

At an office tucked in the corner of the Universal Shopping Center in Houston’s Alief area, among Vietnamese restaurants and immigration service offices, I met Democratic state Representative Hubert Vo to talk about the runoff election for House District 149. Instead of meeting at his district office a few streets away, we met at the […]

I’m sure there’s a scene marker right at the cut, so that’s why an ad got inserted there. But, my god. Someone at Amazon should go to prison for this.

(I think it’s a total coincidence that the Febreze ad seems roughly color-matched to the sky. But scroll down in the Bluesky thread for some links to the absolute genius campaign from Cerveza Cristal beer, with spots specifically designed to integrate into Star Wars when it was broadcast on commercial TV in Chile. “Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough” might be the funniest TV commercial ever made.)

Update: Here’s Todd Vaziri’s 2026 HD remaster of the original jump cut, for your comparison. Enjoy.

Had a great meeting with @BonnieRue this week to catch up on a bunch of ideas for the Micro.blog community and long-form blog post discovery. Also learned about The Brautigan Library. I had missed that Dario Amodei’s Machines of Loving Grace essay title was surely inspired by Richard’s 1960s poem.

Blood glucose levels can be a reliable indicator of diabetes risk. But in some populations, it's not enough to catch the disease early.

Ok, this is incredible: this person on Reddit discovered that if you take a bunch of the sequential photos of the Earth captured by the Artemis II crew and animate them, you can see that some of what appear to be stars are actually satellites, buzzing around the Earth like flies. You can see them really clearly in Seán Doran’s remastered animation. Totally totally gobsmacking. Literally awesome.

Testing the next version of Micro.blog for iOS with Liquid Glass enabled. It’s looking good. Great work @vincent.

I tried not to overreact to Spurs vs. Timberwolves game 1, so not going to overreact to the game 2 blowout. But this is what I’ll say… This team has played seven playoff games so far. They’ve lost two games: by 3 points and by 2 points. None of the wins were close. 🏀
