Running out my front door tonight in North Pole, Alaska to see one of the best auroras of the year... unreal!

Got some elephant warrior miniatures, which means I can do a “Babarians at the Gate” layout

I think Rollins is thinking about the corporate CEO dream of the rank and file working 60+ hours a week and never being able to retire

Zeno’s TED talk: “In the first half of my talk, which will never end, I will…”

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

“We”

S is for Sara, ignited by flambeau T is for Tina, devoured by pillow

this is somehow even funnier than when they cried over losing their NFTs because that time they thought they were art collectors and this time they think they’re property owners

Don’t leave us in suspense. Did the dog get his Grey Poupon or not?

Aid and comfort to the enemy is treason

How long until we see a “If Iran doesn’t UN-SINK those SHIPS I’m going to HOLD MY BREATH until I TURN BLUE”

Mush trying out a new proverb: The little shit doesn’t fall far from the asshole

“Dear Mr. Iran Donald‘s bone spurs are acting up and he won’t be able to play war with you anymore Signed, Epstein’s mother”

That’s what happens when you’re a loathsome human being. It’s a feature, not a bug.

The rapture

Probably would be seeing some northern lights if it weren’t clouded over here (as usual when the Kp index spikes)

Awesome doesn't begin to cover this.

Gobsmacking that there are top members of this administration who don’t realize we import oil, or are somehow unaffected by the fact that others do, too.

I have to wonder what’s hiding inside the lens.

Where can I get these?

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

At first glance I thought this was an angry hippo. Hippopotamus rex (that’d make hungry hungry hippos a tad more interesting)

One Fly to rule them all, One Fly to find them, One Fly to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

WHO TAUGHT THEM HOW TO DRIVE

I also think that, in general, we should reject anyone whose first run at office is for the US Senate. Look what happened when we elected someone who did that for president. Know nothing narcissists do not make good legislators/executives.

Did you know that in New York City you can't wipe your ass without an ID?

In NYC, getting a waiver to be this stupid requires an ID

Soil.

I could tell my Boolean algebra joke. Or not.

We got a DM the other day with a fun request from a local family: Could we find this nice BART train operator who always waved and beeped at this special little rider? And if we found him, could we deliver him a thank you card!?  So we got to work …

Post a gif/image of who you wanted to be as a kid (can’t find a decent gif)

This dredges up a memory of a proposal I was shown some years ago; someone wanted to do time transfer using the blockchain technology. Now, I don’t know the finer details of blockchain, but AFAIK it’s about data security and not synchronization.

It was more than the chocolate syrup. Honey, too.

this is really stupid but also hell yeah

No lies detected.

Every day is a good day for sharing one of the most useful papers about research data ever written. PLEASE get your people to understand and follow this advice. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This has been my position for YEARS

This is what happens when you have abstinence-only sex ed.

oh hell yes, had kalshi getting charged before april on polymarket at +2500

Card me like one of your French girls

Rotational Gravity xkcd.com/3220/

I implicitly support the meteor labor union, and whatever caused them to strike

I could tell you a joke about clocks but it might cause a tic

Sound on, if you don’t mind some justifiably coarse exclamations 😂

I’ll bet it’s delicious, whatever it is

It’s curious how republicans always seem to want means testing for programs helping the poor, but never for ones that help the well-to-do.

We need Wanda to come in and interrogate them in a hearing you come loping in like Rambo without a jockstrap and you decommission our minesweepers. Now, was that SMART? Was it SHREWD? Was it Good tactics? Or was it STUPID?

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.
