Three technologies that are so stupid, they prove that we evolved from slugs 1. Cryptocurrency 2. Humanoid robots 3. Leveraged buyouts

TeslaBois trying their absolute hardest to talk up Elon's stupid humanoid robot as the biggest market opportunity EVER, despite the plain fact that so far nobody has come up with a plausible use case other than sex dummies for rich incels

"Though the #GOP likes to consider itself pro-family, the maternal and #InfantMortality data across the United States tells a different tale. The policies enacted by Republican state legislatures strongly contribute to the poor maternal and infant #health#infantmortality#goputcomes in these jurisdictions. "This […]

Who remembers Univel? Novell's attempt at Unix

Jesus didn't own a sword Just saying

Farage resembles a frog with a pickled pepper up its arse

Canada Post is a service, not a consumer product. The idea that it operates at a "loss" is stupid. It's like saying schools operate at a loss; hospitals operate at a loss; roads operate at a loss; sewers operates at a loss. We pay for public services collectively, because they are simply needed […]

pretty sure that if Le Monde calls your trans kid a "fashion week sensation" while you're scaremongering about bathrooms in an off-year Virginia gubernatorial they should just scroll credits on your ass because it's over www.lemonde.fr/en/m-le-mag/...

If you are pregnant or a clinician, please consider responding to The Guardian https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/23/share-your-reaction-to-trumps-comments-about-pregnant-women-tylenol-and-autism

Just a note for the next time anyone schedules a conference in Texas: It is now literally illegal for trans people to use the bathroom there. Your trans friends and colleagues are going to be silently judging you for hosting events in a place it's illegal for them to exist when there's lots of […]

You really only get one chance to shoot your shot when it comes to lying on this scale. Whatever dregs of credibility they could hoover out of the FBI, they're gone. And they made such obvious fools out of the legacy media with the Kirk stuff. Those guys aren't gonna play along the same way

This meeting could have been an emoji

@mloxton We always say our dishes are as clean as soap & water can make them. “Here Soap! Here Water!!” (Very old joke)

Pro tip for dirty dishes If you soak them first, they clean better If you use a physical scourer with enzymes before soaking, stubborn dishes, pots, pans become much easier. I speak, of course, of letting the dog lick them out before soaking #tipotheday

So You didn't get raptured, and nobody you know did either. Bummer High expectations, low outcomes. Sucks to be you right now Also, quite obviously, you are a massive impure sinner. Also bummer But hey, why not embrace this, look around at your actual brethren, and extend a hand. Maybe they […]

"So how come you didn't get Raptured with all the others? Stuck here with the rest of us ay?" #rapture

Next time I see a disappointed #rapture believer: - Oh hey, you're still here. I thought you'd be taken with the Rapture. Ah well, all my gay friends just disappeared on that Tuesday, RIP, so I guess we're doing it wrong. Looks like you're stuck with me, pal.

Bonus #Joke I accidentally drank holy water with my laxative... Now I'm about to start a religious movement. (It's #HootinTootinTuesday again! Post some jokes or funny memes under this hashtag today, and bring lots of smiles to #Mastodon.) #Humor #Humour […] [Original post on universeodon.com]

So turns out y'all unworthy wicked-ass bastards, because you got no #rapture and your sorry ass is still here

What on earth is that fuzz around Brendan's jawline. He looks like a panicky rodent peering through a bleached toilet brush

My study of old #folklore gets more and more relevant to current-day affairs. Example: All of these narratives about "Things That Cause #autism " are basically recycled folk tales about #changelings . Right now, we are at the: "The child is WRONG somehow - the mother must have been careless!" […]

There was a rapture movie in the seventies that wound up being screened at my school. Even as a child, I thought it was daft, cringeworthy, and risible Not much has changed in the whole business since then, and my opinion has not changed much

The people who live with autism don't seem very impressed with TFG and RFK claiming that Tylenol causes autism https://www.youtube.com/shorts/8dYkGWY1Jw8

A mouse with a smile so benign, Made fortunes from castles and shine. But fans yearned for a plot, With more courage than not, Till at last Disney grew its own spine.

I know what it is to have a chronic condition with no known cause or cure. I know what it is to surf the wave of hope sold by people with no conscience… only to be smashed upon the rocks again. I know what is to watch those salespeople disappear… with their money Leaving me to drown again.

One thing that struck me when people were getting all in a froth that "The COVID vaccine is EXPERIMENTAL" (which it wasn't), was that those same people who refused the COVID shot would BEG to be put on a clinical trial with an actual experimental drug for their cancer Like, oh, so NOW […]

If RFK Jr. does include vaccines as a cause of autism in his report, here are some facts from Defend Public Health’s report. 1. Tiny amounts of thimerosal were used as a preservative in childhood vaccines, but once it was removed (2001 in the U.S.), rates of autism diagnoses kept climbing.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you are white- or yellow-skinned, and not living naked on the African savannah, then you are unnatural AF and no amount of raw milk is going to change that. In fact, if you are an adult and reading this, you are unnatural AF, because in our natural […]

The story about a crying subordinate has me wondering. When I was a manager, I always had a box of tissues handy, but I'm not sure in the age of virtual work what is best. If you've ever cried at work, how would you have wanted a manager or meeting-leader to respond? […]

Oklahoma rolling out an "ideology test" to exclude teachers from NY or CA (and others) from being certified in OK unless they are sufficiently MAGA. Same state that does miserably on international tests, has a huge number of vacant teacher slots, has […] [Original post on med-mastodon.com]

US Arms manufacturers seeing strong headwinds this year, while EU vendors are seeing a strong surge

And on that note, The Husky informs me that it is way past walk time

If I referred to "that pompous shiny-face fat-headed fuck", to whom would you assume I was referring?

So ... the Whitehouse foray into TikTok is going really ... interestingly

Steve Witkoff brought a medal home with him from Russia for a US citizen who died while fighting for Russia against Ukraine. Let that sink in a bit

Little Marco has aged fifteen years since January

Jardiance has the most cringe ads I have seen in decades. Are they trying to be memorable by being toe curlingly bad?

Back in the day, we made little spanners in the USA

Oklahoma has over a thousand unfilled teacher slots on a population of only four million. At the same time that they struggle to retain or attract teachers, they have decided to implement a political litmus test to applicants and existing teachers I guess with all the out of work women they […]
