A new "Avatar" comes out this weekend and we've got movies on the mind! It doesn't hurt that @natehegyi.bsky.social is a huge movie buff (the same can't be said for @marinahenke.bsky.social). Check out our latest episode where you get your podcasts.

IMO, The congressional effort to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting hinges on Alaska’s two senators, along with Susan Collins of Maine. Good reporting from Nathaniel Herz of Northern Journal.
38 is the new 40. Awesome to see my mom (briefly) in Boston with dinner and great in-laws (and also that weird lady on the far right). A great birthday topped off by Gilly slicing her paw and a vet visit. She’s a trooper.
One of my favorite things about New England bars are the celebrity photos from 20-30 years ago.
Stabilizing the side of a mountain in a small, rural Alaska town is considered "wasteful, politicized spending" according to the Trump administration. www.ktoo.org/2025/04/15/s...
“It would just be in areas where you can’t get affordable housing, like for gateway communities. So you could actually have people to work in the national parks, maybe around some big metropolitan areas in the West.”

One fun thing about this story is that it includes quotes from my interview with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, who brought up, unprompted, the notorious "Wolves Only Roadway" episode of the West Wing — and pointed out that a pre-Swanson Nick Offerman plays one of the humorless wildlife advocates!
“The app on your phone or what you’re watching on TV, those are private-sector companies, but those private-sector companies depend critically on NOAA for all the information that they’re using to create those forecasts,” Dr. Seitter said.

The original 2000 commercial is deeply embedded into my psyche because my proud Canadian dad - and I - thought it was the funniest thing ever.

Reddit exists so I can finally understand why "BLANK skis in jeans" is considered an insult. I've always loved seeing old guys at Maverick Mountain skiing in jeans.

There's been a lot of discussion after the Los Angeles fires about clearing brush to reduce the fire risk. It's not that simple -- Southern California's chaparral is vastly different than the state's forests. On @npr.org today www.npr.org/2025/02/11/n...
If you’re curious about how NPR and PBS operate, we made a whole episode back in June where we, public media journalists, tried to understand and explain our funding, including some mythbusting. We all learned a lot. @civics101pod.bsky.social www.civics101podcast.org/civics-101-e...
Some photos from Donegal on the last day of my reporting trip to Ireland
In some places mountain lions are everywhere and some have lost their fear of humans. Are packs of hounds the best way to keep lions and people apart? That's the subject of my latest story in E360.

I love this moment. The day before a big reporting trip begins. Packing all my gear, planning all the travel (planes, buses and automobiles), getting ready for some jet lag…
This is still unsettled and hotly debated science but, as I found out, in our polarized and increasingly digital world… unsettled science can quickly become doctrine. Check out the latest episode of @outsideinradio.bsky.social here: outsideinradio.org/shows/fluori... 3/3
At really high doses, fluoride is toxic – it can calcify your ligaments and joints and even fuse your spine. It also potentially has impacts on our brains. There’s a small but growing body of research suggesting that fluoride can inhibit intelligence in children. 2/3
Ever since fluoridation became widespread in the 1950s, cavities in kids have fallen drastically. The effort is considered one of the ten greatest public health achievements of the 20th century. But it’s also one of the most controversial. 1/3
Casually tucking in “sell federal land” and “removing flood insurance subsidies” while unleashing American energy. Worth a read to understand some of the priorities of the 2025 GOP.

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.
That's such a great idea haha
NEW: We found Luigi Mangione's deleted Reddit. He described:
• persistent back pain after surfing in 2022

• successful 2023 fusion surgery
• debilitating "brain fog" that began in college
• a test covered by insurance
