Abdul El-Sayed on Fox News: "I think about MLK. He said this thing I always think about -- 'If your coalition is not uncomfortable, it's not big enough.' A lot of people wonder why I'm having this conversation with you. It's because there are people out there who I want to have a conversation with."

Nobel Prize in Medicine 2026: One American and two Germans honored for technique activating neurons with light
By inserting certain proteins into the membrane of nerve cells, the three laureates, Karl Deisseroth, Peter Hegemann and Georg Nagel, succeeded in switching neurons 'on' or 'off' at will. The technique has a dual purpose: Unlocking the secrets of the brain and developing innovative treatments.

Very saddened to say I won’t be able to headline Tim Pool’s student event in Chicago this week. I unfortunately have other plans.
Hi Katherine,
Timcast Media is partnering with the Chicago Thinker to host a student event in Chicago on October 9 at 4:00 PM.
The event will feature a one-on-one conversation with Tim Pool followed by a live student Q&A. To create a dynamic and balanced dialogue, we are specifically seeking a featured guest to represent a left-leaning perspective.
Timcast Media will fully cover and arrange all travel and accommodations.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
[REDACTED]

Hi Lisa,
Sorry, I'll be too busy slamming my hand in a car door that day to talk with Tim. Hope you understand.
Kat

Since it’s banned book week, I’m going to post one banned book a day that I have actually read. I should’ve started yesterday, but I wasn’t thinking. So we’re kicking off with this an absolute classic and very pertinent right now.
This, in my opinion, is not only a classic, but a must read.

I miss new york. I lived in that brick building for almost 7 years. the red awning was my stoop. Bedford & North 9th. Next month, I will have been at my place in Seattle for 7 years. Officially longer than I've ever lived at a single address. I still feel at ease in Brooklyn. Seattle is home.
Greg in orange sunglasses, orange Skate Wizards tee shirt, green button down, black blazer. He is on one side of an intersection in Brooklyn. Street signs say Bedford. Multicolored buildings line the street, 3 stories tall. A restaurant is on the corner, beside a brick building where I lived. It looks exactly the same.

NASA astronaut & biochemistry researcher Peggy Whitson holds the US space endurance record. Cumulatively, she spent 695 days in #space--the equivalent of a hypothetical round trip to Mars. First woman NASA Chief Astronaut, 2009. #WomenInSTEM #WorldSpaceDay 🚀
A wide-angle interior photograph of legendary astronaut Dr. Peggy Whitson floating effortlessly in microgravity inside the seven-window Cupola observatory module of the International Space Station. Dr. Whitson is angled diagonally across the frame with one outstretched arm while smiling confidently at the camera. She sports her signature short, blonde pixie haircut and wears a dark blue and black commercial flight jumpsuit adorned with the prominent embroidered logo of Axiom Space alongside a mission patch on her chest. Behind her, the large, panoramic circular and trapezoidal windows frame a breathtaking, brilliantly lit view of planet Earth below, displaying bright blue oceans blanketed by swirling white cloud patterns. The geometric framework of the spacecraft interior, lined with handrails, switches, and wiring, creates a complex border around the vivid windows. The overall mood is triumphant, serene, and awe-inspiring. This image carries profound historical significance, documenting Whitson's groundbreaking transition to commercial spaceflight as a mission commander, continuing to break age and endurance milestones well into her sixties.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1945: A strike by some 10,500 craft workers in the Conference of Studio Unions turns bloody when strikers battle police, studio guards and replacement workers. The conflict directly contributed to the passage of the Taft-Hartley Act and the Hollywood Blacklist. /1
Warner Bros. Studio firefighters turn high-pressure hoses on picketers on Hollywood Bloody Friday (also called “Black Friday”), Oct. 5, 1945. Studio police on studio rooftops also dropped tear gas canisters on the striking workers. Bloody Friday didn’t just crush the Conference of Studio Unions. It demonstrated that the fear of communism could be used to silence dissent and neutralize organized labor. By framing a dispute over wages and working conditions as a “Soviet plot,” studio executives wrote the playbook used by the House Un-American Activities Committee and paved the way for the Hollywood Blacklist. It helped corporate lobbying groups convince Congress that unions had grown too powerful, violent and radical. This accelerated the passage of the Taft-Hartley Act of 1947, which permanently weakened the legal power of organized labor. Ultimately, a two-hour violent confrontation created the blueprint for corporate dominance that still influences American labor today.

Community members gathered at the Federal Immigration Court location to raise awareness and support of those that have been wrongfully detained by ICE.  The community also raised voices in opposition to unwarranted military actions as well as other unjust and violent acts by ICE and other federal government agencies.  This event was organized by Indivisible Resisters Contra Costa, a grassroots, nonpartisan group advocating for policies to support immigration reform, campaign finance reform, universal healthcare, racial justice, and to protect our environment.
