My boss/editor/Michelle Whisperer @funambulator made the most on point Mary J. Blige reference in the edit of a document today. Damn I love her. (Both Laura Ellis AND Mary J. ) There’s not hateration, holleration for either under my roof.

Four years ago, a Louisville Metro Police officer fired pepper balls at a @wave3news crew broadcasting live on air.

That night, LMPD said the incident would be investigated. Four years later, that investigation is still open.

As tomorrow’s #MetGala approaches, I would like to remind everyone that while the part you may be most familiar with is the red carpet event, the *actual* department the Met Gala funds is the unglamorous thing you don’t think about the other 364 days/year…the Costume Institute.

@DivaOfDiversity @RayeUpdate I hadn’t before, but we happened to see this episode last night!

This thread imagines how paleontologists might reconstruct today’s animals if they only had the same level of information we have about ancient animals. And it’s delightful.

[Crémieux @cremieuxrecueil]

Paleo artists often "shrink wrap" fossilized animal depictions

The T-Rex, Utahraptor, Triceratops—popular depictions of each of these animals shows skin so close to bone that it might be unrealistic

So let's shrink-wrap existing animals🧵

Can you guess what this is?
