My nephew: Are you a girl or a boy? Me: a boy, I used to look more like a girl but then I turned into a boy Nephew: How??? Me: I went to the doctor and they gave me some medicine Nephew: … Nephew, bragging now: I’M a boy and I didn’t even HAVE to go to the doctor

my god, that bike has an autism score of 0.93!

remember, folks,

Anti-Italian racism strikes again 😔😔

That’s part of why we @unbreaking.org started collecting those moments shouts to the team In hopes that we can provide help in reconstructing it later unbreaking.org/issues/food-...

Anyway, poor beleaguered spouse who was either working, taking care of the kids, or both from 6:30am until 8:15pm, had to be sent to CVS for me to get more Tums because I am not allowed to drive.

I love trying to look up what foods DON'T make heart burn worse, and the lists are just, "Here's what you should avoid!" and it's every food that's ever existed. "Home remedies for heart burn: - Don't eat anything that causes heart burn :D"

Huge news today, if you missed it; Chris Duncan was released from Louisiana prison after being wrongfully convicted for nearly three decades. @psfrench.bsky.social wrote this devastating but important read this spring on Louisiana’s rush to kill Jim despite junk science.

We know that, for a ton of reasons, a lot of folks don't have as much to spend as they'd like this holiday season. Sooooooo, here's a thread of things you can do that will support your local indie bookstore or other business WITHOUT spending any more than you intended...

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

LIBRARIES MAKE BOOKS ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE, she shouts, apparently inaudibly WHY DO THESE "YOU'RE A CLASS TRAITOR" PEOPLE KEEP PRETENDING LIBRARIES DON'T EXIST? ARE THEY CLASS TRAITORS WHO DON'T BELIEVE IN LIBRARIES?

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against the demonic computers

Every company sued for wrongful death:

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read

Update no one asked for: Mostly stayed hydrated today and finished tonight's prep without throwing up. Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself for tomorrow, but it wasn't even half as bad as the Miralax with a side of Gatorade. I think next time I will ask if the extra night of prep is necessary.

Every other guy online is a debate pervert who gets paid like $750k a year by the Liberty Flame Institute LLC, which nobody has ever heard of, to alternate between saying that the age of consent is too high and that puberty blockers "destroy fertility."

On the one hand, I am very, very, very unhappy that my new doctor's office does 2 days of prep instead of 1. On the other hand, in the past two weeks, multiple people have told me they've had to reschedule because of failed prep. So at least this might prevent that from happening.

👀 Alex Vitale is a sociologist who wrote a very good book called The End of Policing.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

I'm about $600 shy of my personal $4,000 fundraising goal for Scarleteen: Please help me get there so I can stop harassing people to donate, TYIA www.classy.org/fundraiser/6...

i just reviewed 50+ applications for an arts award and most of them were written by chatgpt. And then the other reviewers said they put them into Gemini to rank them. At a certain point, if everyone is giving their thinking entirely over to AI, why are we even bothering with any of this anymore?

this man is the Shohei Ohtani of being hospitalized and getting arrested.

341,000 Black women are still missing from the labor force since the pandemic began. This is the most educated female cohort in the country, and more than half are breadwinners for households with children. Erasing their economic participation undercuts today’s stability and tomorrow’s workforce.

I know this is rhetorical but my stab at a real answer: because they are trying to get funding from VC people who are ideologues like Peter Thiel and Thiel doesn’t want us to have libraries

" If you know someone who has been detained and released by ICE, our REBUILD Program provides FREE therapy to help them regain stability and support." www.darknessrisingproject.org/help-me-find...

every single baby had to be hospitalized.

FINALLY got to see my bestie today for brunch and mani pedis, and I found out that I had misinterpreted her due date and thought I had an extra month to make this baby blanket. Soooooo time to get knittin'!

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

Our house is a disaster zone because we're two moderately disabled adults who both now work full time and have two young kids who have resisted cleaning up after themselves their entire lives. My neat-freak mother is coming over on Wednesday.

good morning, logging on to catch up on what i missed on a serene autumn saturday morning

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

this is true and dishwashers aren’t the only green thing that’s better! see also: heat pumps

We had a ten-year-long debate over using the word “fascism” and the Coast Guard just…tweeted it out.

#BREAKING: Former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers will immediately leave his role as an instructor at Harvard while the University investigates his ties to child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Dhruv T. Patel and Cam N. Srivastava report.

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

this sounds like a great idea. luckily there are no extremely serious consequences to providing false information to the Internal Revenue Service

Editorial Board. Hitler never called a female journalist a pig to her face. It’s time for these fascist comparisons to stop.

Where are the learning loss people? It’s hard to learn at school if you’re afraid to go because the secret police might kidnap you.

Anyone who has spent 1 hour in academia has seen at least 2 senior professors who are married to former students (usually grad students) and those professors are usually old AF.

I agree. People tend to think abusers don’t really know what they’re doing or want to give them the benefit of the doubt. While some of them might not be immensely strategic, they’re incredibly aware of their actions, behaviors, and the impact thereof. Abuse is not a mistake— it’s a choice.

Yeah, it's not even a question -- people were Big Mad that they might be the next Charlie Rose, just because they routinely pressured subordinates into sex. And they had to do something about that. But not, you know, stop pressuring subordinates into sex.

"If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein's sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot… teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else." - @warren.senate.gov www.cnn.com/2025/11/17/p...

I spent October traveling to schools throughout the South talking to students about American history. What I found were young people who understand we can tell a story that includes both the positive and the negative. As one 8th grader in Memphis said, “Doesn’t seem that hard, just say both things.”

I know it's hardly the top priority, but could is there any way we could add "mandatory headphone jack on every smartphone" to the Woke 2 agenda?
