We should be learning from other countries...

If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.

I really love these kinds of places. Where things have been built and repaired over an over. It's very satisfying to me to draw them #art #drawing #penandink #sketchbook

Getting this thing going is tricky.

Too young for nuclear war drills, too old for active shooter drills. Aye, that’s the sweet spot.

Love someone so much you hold each other's hands like this at night. .. 😊👍👏🫶

"It's none of my business," the woman said, "but..." The witch did not roll her eyes. "...I heard you gave the baker's gal fangs, and claws." "She asked." "You've made her a monster!" "Adding doesn't make you a monster. Removing does." "Removing what?" "Someone's right to be who they are."

That's funny, I could have sworn he said something about not needing Royal Navy vessels because the war was already won. You broke it Don, you fix it.

Breakfast 😋

You know, once you get past the oligarchs and racists, normal humans are actually pretty good.

The mechanic removed the back plate and inhaled through pursed lips. "Who did this?" "I did," the robot said. "How?" "I took one arm off, put in a wireless interface so I could still use it, and put it in a vice, then turned-" "OK. Why?" "I needed fixing." "You are allowed to ask for help."

If Trump really wants to destroy Iran he should go be its president for a few months.

Picard management tip: When you've gotten enough sleep, an impossible task becomes an interesting challenge.

Books are not clutter. Clutter is all the other stuff that gets in the way of having more books.

The study does not remotely say that science “leans hard left.” Nor does the fact that academics left the Nazis-and-child-porn website for a different website mean they’re producing biased evidence. All of the major threats to science in 2026 come from the right.

Hard work, very hard work.

LOVE THIS! ctan.math.illinois.edu/graphics/pgf... "This package provides an essential feature to LATEX that has been missing for too long. It adds a coffee stain to your documents. A lot of time can be saved by printing stains directly on the page rather than adding them manually."

Desperate times, desperate measures. #badgeographyjoke

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

Any writer’s festival that would let politicians dictate who is allowed to speak isn’t an event worth associating with

This message hits hard.

Pantone just updated their Color Of The Year

Kind of a boring one but I used to "adopt" abandoned sections of green between roadways, come in, remove invasive plants & then spread seeds for native ones. Illegal sure, but mundane. It was fun though.

UPDATE: #MRO and #MAVEN downlink frequencies are 6 MHz apart, so they should normally not interfere with each other. However, the events we saw yesterday and today as of timings and frequency doppler agree with Horizons/MRO exactly. In the attached screenshots we can see “spurious” and “harmonics”.

Both are true.

An engineering experiment with a difference 😁. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jizm...

Erase every lab, every book, every dataset; the universe would still run on the same rules. Sooner or later, people would rediscover them. Facts aren’t time-dependent or personality-driven; they exist whether we like them or not. 1/2

After repairing a bunch of old oscilloscopes, I melted down the failed wax capacitors and made up scented candles.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

Does anyone out there know the tariff code for a kintsugi kit? TIA

Essentially it is this, yes.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

I can’t decide whether to laugh uproariously or sob endlessly. What’s the German word for that feeling

LICE 😂 Seattle, Washington No Kings

Bugger!!

Send a platoon-sized element of attractive, tattooed women with dyed hair armed with enough drugs and alcohol to share and a willingness to have casual sex to the front lines of the 82nd Airborne and you will defeat them within 72 hours. I believe in you, Portland.

"There are," the swordmaster said with emphasis on every word, "many problems that can not be solved with a sword." "Yes, but if you do attempt to solve them with a sword," the former student said, "you will get new problems, which can be solved with a sword." "Yes. That's why they sent for me."

Anybody familiar with the Akai M7 reel to reel tape deck?

The maths proved it was a time machine. The issue was that the speed of travel was one second per second. "Can you make it go faster?" "Impossible. We can make it go slower though." "So you age faster inside the machine? What use is that?" "We thought we'd try it with some wine and cheese?"
