I don’t know the first thing about YoYoing, but this is incredible. Jason says this is the best routine he’s ever seen, but I took a few minutes to look around the International YoYo Federation YouTube page, and every single video from the competition is mind-blowing. Apparently, there’s also a 4A competition, where the yoyo isn’t actually attached/secured to the string, which I find endlessly fascinating?!?!?

He’s baaaack! Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of retirement, starring in his first film since 2017’s Phantom Thread. This time, he’s starring in a movie he co-wrote with his son, who is also directing. And honestly, this trailer looks stunning. You can see a lot of the PT inspiration come through, but there’s also a subtle Lynchian vibe hiding under the surface. Cannot wait for this.

This thread, and this comment specifically, is absolutely gold. Vivace was one of the best things about living in Seattle, and I’d drive out of my way from Ballard to Capitol Hill just for their espresso. To this day, I haven’t had a better shot while living in Chicago, Seattle, or now the Bay Area, or across my (albeit limited) travels.

Newell has a growing fleet of yachts as well, including the Oceanco-built Draak (formerly called the Tranquility) and the Rocinante superyacht, built by German yacht-maker Lürssen.
What do you do when you have a whole fleet of yachts? Well you buy a company that makes ’em, of course. Trickle-down economics at work, folks!

The Trump administration is thinking about scrapping a ban on white asbestos, a material used in roofing, chlorine manufacturing, and more. White asbestos is banned in many countries; exposure to it has been linked to lung cancer and other serious health risks.
Likely more capitulation from this administration to big money donors who want to cut costs at the expense of those without the means to escape a system that attempts to poison them at every turn. But that’s just me speculating…
