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.

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.

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?

This week has felt several weeks long. Everyone in the house is either exhausted or asleep. It’s after 7 and #MisterGayle hasn’t even yelled “THE WHEEL” yet.

Tonight I won an award for sound designing a show I was incredibly proud of my work on. When I got home and showed #MisterGayle, he said, “Well, that and a dollar and a quarter will get you a cup of coffee just about anywhere.” #hater

An important turning point in your fashion journey is realizing you can love fashion deeply and yet spend most of your time dressed like you’ve just run to the store to buy a dozen eggs.

I was in the alley trying to save my neighbor’s chickens from some loose dogs by shooing the flock into our yard. A kid was mowing our grass & we have a language barrier so I yelled “¡Hay dos perros RAWR RAWR RAWR the chickens!”

(The kid yelled up to Jonese who was near the house & didn’t know what I was doing, “Your chickens?” She of course said no, and they wouldn’t let me into the yard. The chickens survived.)
