Only even more pointless and self-defeating.

So say we all.

And still can't get away from men.

Austin today 💦

City of Austin needs to cut it with these emergency alert tests.

@adapalmer.bsky.social Listening to you talk about the Renaissance I wonder could you do the same kind of analysis of the 20th century to explain how we got here? Or do things move so much faster you'd have to break it down by decade? I'd be fascinated to hear you break down modern times like that.

OMG Chortlemuffin is great! At the risk of chiming in twice in 1 night, I did this with an ecology piece. *Everywhere* there's a factoid that plastic debris kills 100,000 sea mammals a year. I tracked it back and back to a 1984 NYT article that made it up. It's *everywhere* yet based on nothing.

The citation chain usually works like this: -supposition stated as fact -supposition with reference to reputable book from c.1930s -reputable book from c.1930s with reference to Sir Edward Chortlemuffin, 1782 - Sir Edward Chortlemuffin, "here's an idea I'll fart out," 1782 /2

This video might piss off a lot of people. Some of you may already know all this stuff. See what you think. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yN0H...

A politician with the guts to say it: "No American child from the blue collar or the middle class should have to die fighting in Iran. Let the Epstein class fight the Epstein War." - Premier Wab Kinew at the NDP national convention, Winnipeg.

You know what to draw if you come across one of these.

Whatever you think about her other positions, Senator Warren has the strongest knowledge of banking, credit, and economics of anyone in Congress so pay attention here.

Post a non-religious picture you think of as holy

This is one of those things they weren't thinking about when they told you things can't get any worse. They ALWAYS can. This might be proof we're living in a simulation. God DOES play dice with the universe, Albert.

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

RIP Chuck Norris. #legend

National Geographic’s hot new cover story about silkworms modified to spin spider silk. Spider silk is an amazing material, five times stronger than steel by weight, combining strength and elasticity unlike anything else, natural or artificial. buff.ly/a3X76zT #ShareGoodNewsToo

Most interesting way to get your e-zine account blocked: making me feel sofa king old.

I can listen to this on a loop all day long, lol. 🤣🤣

What's the smallest thing that will make the most people happy in all of human history? I'm going to bet it's a tiny little clump of cells and coagulating factors that might already be out there. Good things come in small packages, and this package, wherever it may be, contains unlimited joy.

Ever have a joke stuck in your head you REALLY want to share with the world but afraid it could get you in trouble? But it's SOOOO good.

the room mics picking up the crowd at the #Oscars ceremony booing the orchestra playing over "Golden" acceptance speech being cut off needs to be an inflection point, especially after Adrian Brody should've had orchestras phoning into the broadcast last year to cut him off.

How much did Kim Jong Il pay them to play off the Golden team that fast???

Lionel Ritchie: black don't Crack ❤️❤️❤️

How many people 40 and under recognized the love theme from St Elmo's Fire when they played it on the Oscars tonight?

Wow. Lewis Pullman looks more like Bill Pullman than Bill Pullman does.

Talk about aging gracefully. Marlee Marlin, wow.

Pascal shaved so Dicaprio could ROCK that mustache.

Really expected that note to be from Grogu and not Dicaprio.

Pascal beardless just gives those eyebrows a chance to shine.

Weeping at this In Memoriam. So many many lost this year. And they're finally giving it the time these people deserve. Also Drew Struzan is the first person I've actually met to appear there.

I cut the cord 2 years ago and never looked back until tonight as the crazy wind keeps making my TV cut out during the Oscars.

Kazakhstan is rebuilding habitat for the return of wild tigers more than 70 years after the species vanished from Central Asia. The restoration is reviving prey populations and preparing landscapes for Amur tigers. Live Science buff.ly/54tZe4U #ShareGoodNewsToo

Perhaps Moses can come back and part the land this time.

This 2000-year-old sculpture of a baby doing a hadouken from inside the mouth of an old man’s head is still one of the hardest things I’ve ever seen www.artic.edu/artworks/221...

Al Jazeera cracked this "enigma": This school had many daughters of military officers and soldiers. The idea was to attract them to the school, strike it to draw in rescuers and relatives, and then strike it again to kill them.

I shared a baby sitter with Martin Luther King Jr.

Fundamental truth.

What just happened in Dallas County is one of the most blatant voter suppression operations I've ever seen—and it happened in a *primary*. In March. Imagine November. I broke it down here: open.substack.com/pub/objectio...

First discovered last year, a lasso-shaped peptide called lariocidin kills bacteria in a way that’s never been seen before - and because its germ-killing mechanism is new, something bacteria haven’t had time to adapt to, it’s awesome in the fight against drug-resistant microbes. AZO
