This is either the biggest dork shit ever or beautiful or both. Amazing: the viral pacers bickering couple were actually yakking about uh the Ben Sasse podcast and hashing out ways to rejigger liberal arts education www.si.com/nba/pacers/v...

Being married is easy, I don't know why people complain about it. All you have to do is ask what your partner needs, actually listen to the answer, then figure out how you're going to train a variety of woodland creatures to put ancient curses on their enemies. It's literally so simple.

Let's spin up the broken record. If we're serious about CO₂ removal, we can't rely on one tech company to make it happen. It has to be a governmental effort at all levels.

It can't be said often enough, so I'll say it again: Solar and batteries can power the world! It's cheaper than gas (esp. at today's prices) and a lot more reliable. By 2030, solar and batteries could supply 90% of electricity to 80% of the world's population for < €80/MWh (including backup).

48 HOURS till the end of our fundraiser at locusmag.com/igg26 and we're only halfway to our funding goals.... Please take a moment to support what we do if you have the means! Thank you so much! Fundraiser closes Tuesday 4/14!

Warehouses on fire, Molotov thrown at Sam Altman’s house, a data center supporting politician’s home shot at — attacks on the ruling class have begun. Every attacker will now be deemed a terrorist, that’s inevitable. But what the ruling class doesn’t want you to know is they made this inevitable.

What I like best about the Artemis II photos is that it was taken by actual humans. An actual person had to frame it and manually adjust settings. It's their own artistic rendition of what they thought looked best at the time, something no probe, rover or unmanned spacecraft can take. it's art

By the way: Eric sent those cease & desists in response to being asked for comment on the CNN story. He had his lawyer TEXT cease & desists to the WOMEN SAYING HE RAPED THEM in the MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. They were not named! That’s the weirdest response to a request to comment that I’ve ever heard.

The triumph of NASA’s first crewed lunar mission in a half-century is a reminder of what the moon really means for Earth—and why we’re going back: www.scientificamerican.com/article/nasa...

do you want "Catholicism but american" we invented that, it's called Episcopalianism and it's even more woke. all the priests are lesbians. good luck

Them: Studying the humanities is such a waste of time. Why is understanding history, religion and culture useful? Me: Gestures wildly at what is going on in geopolitics.

Did you know that Min Jin Lee, Marlon James, Deesha Philyaw, and Hernan Diaz ALL HAVE NOVELS COMING OUT THE SAME DAY? September 29, by the way. Fall books on my mind on an April weekend, sigh.

for the bantasy

bit.ly/4t7G2EU President Donald Trump promised to cut Americans’ electricity bills in half, but costs have increased. It’s becoming an aggravating issue for voters, even deep in Trump country where some fed-up West Virginians are paying more for power than mortgages.

Absolutely incredible Nutella ad.

"According to the Authors Guild’s most recent income survey, which queried 5,699 book authors in 2023, the median book-related income for traditionally published trade authors was between $15,000 and $18,000." yep. when writers say we do not make very much, believe us.

There’s a reason Haudenosaunee people call every president Townkiller since we named the first one that.

Monarch on our milkweed garden last August:

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

nothing but praise for MY savior

Absolutely true. Also your music or your art or whatever your thing is. Sharing stuff we’ve made is way better than doomscrolling

Happy International Transgender Day of Visibility! We're everywhere and we're cool. Here's the trans pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️ on a mid-90s Pentium running DOS.

Ah, so Andy Weir is like... *dumb* dumb gizmodo.com/andy-weir-st...

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

articles that write about how "important" immigrant workers are to "the economy" without ever acknowledging that the reason they are important is that they can be treated worse for less pay

what's the J for what's the J for, motherfucker

new quinnipiac poll on ai suggests bluesky users are not the ones living in a bubble over this shit. nobody trusts it, nobody’s excited about it (6 percent say they’re “very excited” about it- more believe in mermaids). 21-point majority thinks it does more harm than good poll.qu.edu/poll-release...

okay so AI is absolutely cratering imminently and I need all of you to PROMISE me you won't take the high road, and will laugh and rub it in their faces as much as possible. I need you to laugh and go 'WE TOLD YOU SO, BITCH" at every opportunity, PLEASE be extremely mean and ruthless

Spain invested heavily in clean energy over the last 6 years. Now, as gas prices rise, Spain has some of the lowest electricity costs on the continent. In August 2025, Spain used zero coal — just 10 years ago it powered 25% of the country. This is what energy independence actually looks like. 🌎

I saw this headline earlier today and assumed it was a more comprehensive report on the strike a month ago

I guess boycotting Harry Potter feels pretty trivial to me, because I'm an adult. if someone told me I shouldn't eat Gerber's baby food, I'd be like, that is no problem. I'm way ahead of you

Does it work properly? No. Are the people making it acting in good faith? No. Have they ensured it can't be used maliciously? No. Does it make people's lives better? No. Will it make people's lives better? No. Is it profitable? No. Is it popular? No. Is it harmless? No. The argument for AI.

This isn't my usual content but there's infuriating, anti-labor legislation being weighed right now in the US to protect quartz manufacturers from consequences for their product causing silicosis in stone cutters at alarming rates- everyone needs to know about it: www.cbsnews.com/news/silicos...

"Rowling [clearly] thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune. [...] There's no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she's inflicting on a vulnerable minority."

It's my answer every time for this: National identity is, with some exceptions, more modern than the steam engine.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one another - then men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid.
