Sisyphus looking at US foreign policy like, bro, you really just going to do *that* over and over again?

I'm deadly serious with this. A huge reason we're in the mess we're in is because the media treats evidenced policy like housing the homeless and decriminalising drugs as absurd, outrageous nonsense, and "you can't even say blackboard any more because of woke" as serious and meaningful.

Why are all electronic medical record platforms built out of spite and unwashed socks? I've used complex software in other domains that doesn't leave me feeling bullied by the dumbest kid on the playground - why does healthcare, of all fields, put up with this dysfunction crap?

Damn, that was was fun - and it's nice to see my colour perception is sharp (even if I have to take my glasses off to paint minis now) What's My JND? 0.0035 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

Yes. And it's a legitimately huge problem

I'm so not even kidding, potion season starts now

Hey, who else out here scrubbing their cauldron for the 2026 potion season?

"Gender is a fixed biological reality, like gravity" ok but you're not passing 50 laws making it a crime to defy gravity, why do you suppose that is

The Aramchek Proposal: instead of the leap year and daylight savings, every two years, we wind the clock back twelve hours, flipping AM and PM while preserving the integrity of the duodecimal clock. The repeat hours of the flip are a global festival where we celebrate man’s shared war against time.

i like how doorknobs wait until you’re really irritated before they catch your belt loop

Love this

I guess I'm a gnome. That makes sense, answers a lot of questions really

Another follower gave me a great tip about changing my settings so that I can’t post a photo until I include Alt Text so I set that up. Super helpful! And now I don’t have to worry about forgetting.

There may be a time when you are drifting off to sleep when you suddenly sit bolt upright with the realization that the missing ecological puzzle piece essential for proper global ecosystem function is elephants.

This is very cool! Some great lines in the paper: www.frontiersin.org/journals/psy...

When in was 19 or 20, in order to keep my job, I had to promise my supervisors I would no longer juggle dildos in public schools.

We are so lucky technology gave us the convenience of online everything, now 100% of issues that could have been solved by a 2 minute phone call take 4 days to resolve and we can’t get a person on the phone even if we try.

Hauntingly beautiful contrasts make this piece so hard to look away from. There is something visceral about seeing the internal details revealed through such a delicate medium. Love the work of Jessica Harrison #beautifulbizarre #ceramicart #sculpture #fineart #art

Mom, come pick me up, the best lack all conviction and the worst are full of passionate intensity.

As shit just seems to continue to get worse globally, it is really easy to feel powerless against this scale of disregard of human life and the planet. Check in on your neighbours. Share cookies. Offer childcare and a ride to the doctor. Start a rewilding initiative. Participate in mutual aid.

Must listen! how the Alberta government closes us down essential services for people use drugs, by using data manipulation. #ABpoli

Everything is just going to keep getting more stupid and more broken I guess.

I love comics, grew up on them. But I must admit they did not prepare me for villains in the real world. The real world is dominated by villains that are self-absorbed, stupid, impulsive, flagrant in their corruption, and cursed with horrible taste/style. Comics really undersold this truth

Please no, let's not do this to ourselves

My, that is a good price for 12 pounds of nutmeg!

Love this him

Screaming "No gods, no masters, no gatekeepers" as I pay a monthly tithe to use the trillion dollar slop machine for making another image of Daisy Duck with big naturals (but no nipples, in accordance with licensing agreement between Disney and OpenAI)

It's only going to take one generation for our Liberal government's bet on the future of fossil fuels (in 2026!) to be seen as an absolute loser move for Canada

Read this wonderful thread and smile all the way to the call-to-action at the end. Then act. Let's empower whistetown

Dogs are so weird. Imagine being able to eat literal shit and not get sick but also deathly allergic to chocolate

I am going to sleep, and you should too, but if you're not quite ready and would like a little joy to help you toggle between The Living Nightmare and Sweet Dreams, I cannot possibly recommend this video highly enough:

"does UBI solve poverty" experiments been going on since 1791 (not a typo) and they won't stop doing them because the answer keeps being "yes"

If left unchecked, we are racing towards a world where searching for "struggling to breastfeed" makes baby formula more expensive for you in your local supermarket (that's one dystopian example anyway)

As for my favourite spoonerized business name, it will never not be this furniture showroom in New Zealand...

These two gonna hit you with that DDU-DU DDU-DU! My littlest one is obsessed with BLACKPINK (band and colour combo) so I painted these up. Stretched myself a bit to work on techniques I'm not good at yet #paintingMinis #paintingWarhammer #nerdlings #ttrpg

Mana-tea.

Mushrooms are proof that magic has been happening just below the surface the whole time.

I bet Egyptian ttrpgs were lit back in the day (~4k years ago)

I love this man so much

the moon's origin story is also the trippiest screensaver you'll ever watch www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRlh...

This looks really neat

I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors. Great work everyone.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

One of the most important things we need to be educated on is how billionaires profit from prison slave labor. So many corporations rely on it for their precious profits. The more people in prison (especially private prisons) the better for them.

“Will the federal government remain silent on the potential multiple violations of the Canada Health Act? Will civil society be compelled to seek a court order to force the federal government to enforce the Canada Health Act?”
