Day 120 of showing the internet that (jumping) spiders aren't scary 😟 Our gorgeous girl Chai is full of surprises! Even though she’s a mature Phidippus Regius Bahamas and hasn’t moulted, her chelicerae have changed from pink to this stunning iridescent purple! 💜 🧵 (1/2) #jumpingspider #cutespider

It looks like a Serrano pepper

Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

Waiting for Godot: The Hunt for Godot is the recently announced newest installment of the Godotverse. The long awaited sidequel follows Godot's adventures during the events of the original play.

@teamcherry.bsky.social you didn't have to make her try to dance alone! I'm sobbing

“Just for a moment, let’s not be weapons.”

You shiver, and the city shivers with you.

This is so sick!

INLAND EMPIRE - There is also a *fourth* thing you've lost. YOU - A... fourth thing? INLAND EMPIRE - More precious than the gun, the badge and the motor carriage *combined*. Lost forever. Into the deepest of seas.

interesting thing about the ai discourse is that you will say "companies pumped a trillion into glorified chatbots" and get the answer of "well ai will revolutionize medical diagnosis/chem research etc" and its like ok but those companies didnt fund those, they very pointedly funded the chatbots

Darth Vader never actually said "Luke, I am your father" in the movie. The actual line is "This Luke is pissing me off. I'm the original Skywalker."

when i have 6 to 8 enemies coming by the house

"Vibe physics" is absolutely insane lol. Does he know you're supposed to do experiments and shit otherwise it's just random speculation. Who do I blame for making people think the practice of physics is being smart alone in a room?

Started persona 5 and i always feel so stupid when games ask you for your name but only give you an all caps keyboard and you dont realize that there's a lowercase keyboard option until someone in game says YOUR NAME in all caps and you already overwrote the save so its too late to change it.

great stuff in the personal life section of Shigeru Miyamoto (designer of Mario, Legend of Zelda, etc)

Growing up is realizing Capri Sun is just a flappy juice box

This placemat is gaslighting me.

There's a reproducibility crisis and science and they're running the "is love blind" experiment like 20 times. Feels like a misappropriation of resources 😔

I feel ill. 72% is repugnant - It's impossible to conceptualize the destruction of so many young lives. If you're not trans, you might not understand how much death weighs on this community. As Nora Hikari said, "the holiest day of the transsexual calendar is a mass funeral."

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression. What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

I finally know how to use bluesky

people who think modern Russia is Communist are so funny to me. that country is a corrupt husk wearing the corpse of soviet aesthetics as a coat like a serial killer might w/ a trophy victim. The US won the Cold War. the USSR collapsed. we shock-doctrined Russia into an oligarchy in our own image.

Detransision Baby is fantastic but I can feel myself getting a panic attack whenever I read it for more than 5 minutes.

Insane moral dilemma for the roko's basilisk people: say please and thank you to avoid the ai sending you to superhell or make less money

Just finished The Vegetarian by Han Kang and I could barely keep myself upright during the last section. What a devastatingly affective picture of misogyny, mental illness, and lost autonomy.

Rebooting the tmnt and naming them Kohen, Baylor, Stetson, and Tripp

There is no scientific evidence for any meaningful climate benefits of "grass-fed" beef, as many people, including myself and @gnrosenberg.bsky.social, have long been saying. This news study in PNAS further strengthens this point. newrepublic.com/article/1637...

I don’t know how to fall asleep. It’s something I’ve managed to do almost every night of my life, but I always forget what I did that worked so well the night before.

An entire @nytimes.com video on the need for power at AI data centers (& on tech companies now procuring energy) which never even mentions the words #ClimateChange, let alone notes that we need to phase out fossil fuels now to halt heating at a relatively safe level. I'm so tired.

Damn this HorizontalScrollView and I have a lot in common

This is what Dune's about by the way

Last night the monster under my bed emerged, told me he’s really concerned about the direction the world is going in, and asked if we could just cuddle for a bit.

gonna be real i don't think 'right-wingers hate trans women but also want to fuck them' is all that incisive an observation. yeah that's how they feel about cis women too. and implying that attraction to trans women is humiliating or shameful or worthy of mockery is uh not great

"Oh uh just one more thing...the Spice only exists on one planet in the entire universe"

"You mind if I sit down, Emperor Shaddam. I just came from Ix. Many machines on Ix. But they're not as good as those on Richese. My wife, she's got all these plans, sometimes even plans within plans. Now, I'm seeing two great houses, Atredies and Harkonnen, feuding. I think you're behind it all!"

Tall Girl from the movie Tall Girl was right. Being a tall girl *is* the worst thing ever.

this barbie loves to suck cock

im not a photographer but this is like...an awful photo, right? why is the lighting so bad?
