I’m in the planning stages right now for a production of Alice by Heart, which I’m directing next year. He wrote the score for it, along with Spring Awakening and American Psycho. His newest work is opening off Broadway this fall (Memoirs of an Amorous Gentleman).

I’m a firm believer that with SHIN GODZILLA returning to theaters, Toho should also re-release the figurines of the kaiju giving apologetic press conferences.

I'm hardly ever proud to be from Tennessee these days. Dolly was proof that the South, a place full of cruel stories, could produce beauty and love, too.

Maybe one way we can honor Dolly Parton's memory is by following her advice: "Find out who you are and do it on purpose."

And when I say we are in a quiet constitutional crisis, this is what I mean: Congress directs National Science Foundation to send funds for research ins social, behaviorism and economic sciences; the Agency refuses to release at all, and then recommends eliminating the division.

Sharp letter from Reps. Whitesides and Lofgren to OSTP Director Kratsios about his testimony at a House Science, Space and Technology hearing and OSTP's actions w/r/t NSF.

The Honorable Michael Kratsios
Director
Office of Science and Technology Policy
1650 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, DC 20502
Dear Director Kratsios,
Just two weeks ago, you had the opportunity to come before the Committee on Science, Space,
and Technology to “examine the priorities of the FY2027 Research and Technology Enterprise.”1
Sixteen hours before you were due to appear, you chose to release a 123-page report on
“Science: A New Golden Age,” which you described as “a blueprint for renewing American
scientific leadership for the 21st century.”2 This release came with no formal notification to the
Science Committee, despite your appearance the next day to discuss precisely these issues. We
mention this to note that we have no reason to be surprised that you chose to continue this pattern
of obfuscation and disrespect of the Committee’s oversight prerogatives at the hearing itself. We
write to demand that the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) be transparent with
the Committee regarding recent reporting of an OSTP-led initiative called “Grand Research
Challenges.”3
The July 24 Nature reporting confirmed rumors that have been swirling about OSTP diverting
resources from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to fund your pet priorities. These rumors
underpinned multiple lines of questions posed to you at the July 22 hearing:

This is a new one for me as well! And I participated for a few years in a pie contest at a KY State Park, so I thought I’d seen everything. KY Custard pies are my fav, and my go-to to make for the contest was always a Buttermilk Pie.

Good morning. Today is the LAST DAY to comment on the proposed OMB rule that will, honestly, destroy science in the US. And it will do FAR MORE THAN THAT. www.theverge.com/science/9576...

The @kirkhamilton.com podcast "Strong Songs" has a really good episode that breaks down "Total Eclipse of the Heart" in terms of its composition, production, musical structure... and the fun fact that it was originally intended for a musical about *vampires*. strongsongspodcast.com/blogs/episod...

The explosion of admin in higher education tracks with the increase in the enforcement (correctly, IMNSHO) of bias correction at all levels. Ensuring that there’s equity in admissions? You need someone in charge of that. Want effective Title IX support? A whole office makes that happen.

Whenever someone as universally loved as Tony Head dies, as well as being a sad thing it's also always a kick up the arse to try to be a slightly better human being so you get a response like his rather than a response like eg Charlie Kirk's.

I care because I’m a nostalgic fool who connected with these characters, & remain frustrated that they’re untended when there is still plenty of reason to do so. Was THE MUPPET SHOW perfect? No. Nothing is. But when it hit that sweet spot, it operated on a full spectrum of emotion.

This is *so* important and it's been a persistent issue since the early days of learning technology adoption. Short term contracts and project funding have a significant impact on the longevity and sustainability of digital resources. It's a huge waste of both funding and invaluable expertise.

It’s not every day that the largest technology company in the world changes CEOs. Even though this had been strongly rumored for awhile, Tim Cook stepping down in September and John Ternus taking over as Apple CEO is quite a big deal for the future of the company. www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/…
