Here's a cartoon from, as you see, 1911. What Dr. Plait says is not new news.

Someone wrote the lyrics to Tyler Childers' song Long Violent History in chalk on my campus. "It's the worst that it's been since the last time it happened It's happening again right in front of our eyes There's updated footage, wild speculation Tall tales and hearsay and absolute lies"

INBOX: Washington Post Ukraine Correspondent Lizzie Johnson announces that she has been laid off in the middle of a below-freezing war zone without power, heat, or running water.

ELEPHANT BONE FROM 2200 YEARS AGO.

Hmm. That untitled Wm Morrow novel is now written by Anonymous. But you can still follow the author. [Previous notes about possible vaporware apply.]

A YouTuber with sub-175k followers did a far more extensive dive into the white supremacist right-wing influencer they profiled, his manufactured controversy and falsehoods, and the broader context than the NYT. Come on youtu.be/iZAdiZEIuMM?...

After thinking it over during this weekend mostly offline, I've decided that YES, I WILL be making a sequel to my hit video, "So I'm in the Epstein Files." I'm looking through docs now but lmk if you've found anything particularly funny/obscure regarding yours truly youtu.be/VNLdyWPAz18

Pretty sure feminists don't use the word "hysterical." It was all an act, wasn't it? The entire time.

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to God, I'm going to say, ICE out. We're not savages, we're not animals, we're not aliens. We are humans, and we are Americans.

My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass. It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved. I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it. Please share this...(1)

Anne Frank died of typhus at Bergen-Belsen

The Grammys.

Worth remembering that something did happen: the journalist who revealed this died from a car bomb.

Seriously, pick a mythological tradition—any of them, any where in the world—and you'll find the worst of punishments are reserved for those that violate the laws of hospitality Blood feuds get put on hold until the degenerates that do this kind of thing get buried You do *not* do this

No one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock wound up winds down, until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvested. The span of someone’s life is only the core of their actual existence. -Terry Pratchett

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

My video about Gollum is finally done. LotR gets more important by the day, esp as the right continues to try and co-opt it. Stories matter and no joke I think it’s really important to understand this specific story properly, I hope my series helps with that youtu.be/YC4bo3SOU3U?...

Introducing Cuddles Von Profit, a capitalist cat-astrophe and a purr-fect reminder that billionaires are ridiculous, but cats are essential. 100% less morally reprehensible than a billionaire. Adopt Cuddles and own a billionaire instead of them owning you. Warning: Do not eat. #Caturday #cats

Is there anything evil in this world this mfer didn’t touch? Did he invent cancer too?

Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.

I once dressed up for a Beetlejuice themed birthday party as Delia Deetz. I won the ‘Best Deetz’ award. A proud moment. Another GNU for Catherine O’Hara. This one hurts.

Everyone at TopatoCo supports today's ICE Out strike. Because we are a small business, we will be remaining open; however we will be donating 50% of our profits for today to the National Immigrant Justice Center. #IceOut

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

As someone who was a little late in learning how to cook: it really isn't that hard! After you get over your initial worries, you realize you just need to follow the instructions. And if you have leftovers, congrats! There is your lunch or dinner for tomorrow or the day after.

God tier crisis management

Reading a news article (BBC) about how much Venezuelan people are looking forward to US investment to boost their local areas which have become rundown under Maduro and it's at least halfway down the page before they very coyly make mention that prior US sanctions even existed.

FWIW, it's me. I made that quote. Screenshot as proof.

HPV caused my cancer. Treatments made all my teeth fall out (and weakened my jaw too much to take implants), destroyed my saliva glands, and created disabilities that forced me into early retirement in my 50s. Advising against vaccines for this is EVIL incarnate. Nobody shd needlessly go through it.

Man protest songs are a lost fucking art. Need to come back in a big way Love ya Boss

I look forward to the stories from the businesses who at first offered services to ICE and then quickly regretted it because the agents are undisciplined, violent children.

Hey cuties. Everything sucks ass. Get some valentines and send them to your friends. I'm sad. You're sad. They're probably sad. Send them a valentine. It keeps Skype a Scientist running, which hey, is very good too. squidfacts.bigcartel.com/product/deep...

people are always like “what link do i give to?!” one giant pile of money is actually not a great way to help people. people choosing a variety of places to give helps keep the money moving. no one org gets flooded to the point of breaking. a PTA, the mutual aid venmo, can move $ even faster.

Paul Verhoeven's RoboCop is a pitch-black satire of Reagan-era America–it's still a smart, vicious, funny movie almost 40 years later, where the issues it's commenting on have become normalized to a disturbing degree.

So, my Cintiq 21UX just stopped working at around 2:00 AM, today. Stopped recognizing pen input, refused to function as anything other than a monitor. This has happened before. Twice. And if it happens to you, it's fixable. Here's how. www.reddit.com/r/wacom/comm...

Being a violence researcher means that basically everything I post here is some variant on: “The thing they said would make you safe is actually ineffective and/or dangerous.” “The thing they said is dangerous is actually a sign of the kind of big changes we need for a safer society for everyone.”
