As metaphors go, this one feels a bit too on the nose.

We should be two “D&D Honor Among Thieves” sequels deep.

I just can't even.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...

Bring back the ancient knowledge

This was good for me to read, and I'm sure it'll be good for anyone else in the same boat.

I'm not saying I don't understand why someone would remake Ferngully, because I do. But I AM saying I don't see what the point is unless you cast someone as unapologetically sexy as Tim Curry for Hexxus: www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVzY...

"sorry I can't come to your once-in-250-years party. I'll be busy doing something it would actually make much more logical sense to do four days later. I bumped it up on purpose so I could throw it in your face. eat shit forever, amen" there is no hater on earth like a hater from Chicago

Spectacular images taken by the Artemis II crew of earthset and the eclipse. Just incredible. NASA posts them here and it’s free to access: images.nasa.gov

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

This roman d6 proves "shiny math rock" has always been preferable to "readable math rock."

Good news! OpenAI is canceling so many large purchase orders and datacenter expansions that the global price of RAM is dropping.

Homophobia and Transphobia is so crazy to me because its all based in people’s inability to mind their business

A great summary of just how fucked literally everyone is as a direct result of Trump and Hegseth being absolute fucking morons.

OK... hear me out... Oil barrels ROLL. 🐵🛢_ _ _ _ _ _ 🚢

Why search for actual webpages that match your search, when Google can spew out concise descriptions with this kind of accuracy?

Man, I feel this about pretty much everything.

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Soon, all the films in close proximity to it will also be THE THING. Within the year, all films in the registry will be THE THING.

I am enough of an optimist to believe that things will turn around, but enough of a pessimist to constantly worry about the damage that will be done between now and then. It will take generations to come back from this.

One more great reason to buy cookies!

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Having done it in the past, good LQA is incredibly important.

Congratulations to the California Republican Party, whose campaign against Prop 50 was so effective that I just received a mailer urging me to vote against it. On the day after the election.

A fantastic game. I really should play it again one of these days.

I have eaten the eggs that were on the counter which you were probably saving for breakfast. They weren’t moist or savory like the seafood variety of Friskies but I was bored. buff.ly/D4lLaCm

Honestly QA might be the hardest of ALL dev jobs to replace with AI. The entire goal of QA is to notice when things are falling outside of expected parameters.

Every study about vaccines that comes out is like "this vaccine is 97% effective at preventing this disease & also 3 other diseases & it somehow helps you play the violin beautifully" and antivaxxers are doing their own research that's telling them they can cure measles by eating polar bear liver.

an extraordinary person with an extraordinary legacy who nevertheless didn’t take herself too seriously when Gary Larson published this cartoon, she was in Africa and her institute was horribly offended and drafted a complaint the whole thing was defused when she returned - she found it funny

Apropos of everything, because it cannot be said loudly or frequently enough, anybody who has a problem with trans people can get fucked.

Doctors I trust more than RFK Jr.

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

One of the ironies of good medical care is that you get more visibly ill people in the population - because we can now keep people alive instead of dying quickly; leading idiots like RFK the lesser to conclude that medical care causes more illness.

BRO. THAT’S THE BOOK. THAT’S LITERALLY THE BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK.

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

If you see this, quote this post with a vampire that isn't Dracula.

we are literally naming our bank after the mountain lair where the dwarves became consumed by greed until they finally realized they had to move beyond it to survive we absolutely understood the message of this book intended for children, we are very smart people. please give us all your money now

I cannot stress how much .webp downloads annoy me.
