Now I really have to run really early in the morning and work on my long runs so I can have better odds of an encounter with the leader of The Greater Illinois Khanate.

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Had a weird street encounter with a zoomer dude walking his dog on the wrong side of the sidewalk forcing everyone else to move out of his way until a little old lady gave him the power "Excuse Me". After as I was passing the dude he tried to get a bro-code type agreement from me "Did you see that?"

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I'm pretty sure ICE and Trumpers are extroverts. We can repel them with generic acetaminophen.

Welp.

Got an Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind DVD and had to find an HDMI cable for my Sony Bluray player - a 13 year old machine that has support for some now defunct Playstation Network. Then fire up the movie and got the "Prohibited action" message for trying to skip the trailers. Ah memories...

What if the Robert's Court are dyslexic and heard "Hold up The Constitution" instead of "Uphold The Constitution"?

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

That reminded me of a favorite quote from Lester Pearson, a former Canadian Prime Minister and a Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Funny how they don't investigate whether Viagra or TRT causes sociopathy.

BUCK: welcome to Monday Night Football going out across the fractured and shattered united states. we'd especially like to welcome our newest viewers from the greater Omaha Demilitarized Zone who are joining us courtesy of the warlord Lord Bones, the Water Prophet. AIKMAN: Tremendous warlord, Joe.

I was a dog guy up until this decade and I think this is very stupid policy. In the past few years I've been threatened by off leash dogs in the city more than 10 times in Chicago parks. I have had dogs snarl and lunge at me in my own building. Current dog owners are not in control of their dogs.

As America's most pro-business leader in a generation, I will choose one company each week and accuse them of witchcraft

Tylenol, schmylenol. Raise your hand if your mom smoked and drank while she was pregnant with you (basically anyone Gen X or older).

cursed to carry this for the rest of my days

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

When I interviewed older South Asian British people about their retirement decisions over a decade ago, a large number said they had kept a passport and land in India and Pakistan 'just in case' When I asked 'in case what?' they responded 'in case we are told to leave Britain'

the biden administration suspecting and proving that homan would take a bribe and then being unprepared to take the next step and just letting him walk away with $50k for doing nothing is so on the nose it just doesnt feel real

my favorite subgenre of Halloween decoration is “skeleton of things that absolutely do not have skeletons”

Pretty wild how Trump's example is torpedoing the chances of the right in Canada. Before Trump's latest term they were favored to win the next and didn't. Now they aren't looking good for the next one either!

Are these original Alfred Caldwell designed pedestrian denial systems that the Lincoln Park Conservatory has installed at this historical landmark Alfred Caldwell Lily Pond?

So cool to visit the Motus workshop at Birds Canada headquarters. The Motus community is studying the movement of birds, bats and insects. This tiny radio telemetry device will fit on a Monarch butterfly 😲 #invertebrates #birds 🌿 www.birdscanada.org/bird-science...

Nobody's sweet dreams are made of this anymore and that's sad

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

The F1 radio coverage leads me to believe that in order to be a top tier F1 driver you have to be a pretty constant complainer.

Suburban people who drive everywhere look at you like you're crazy when you tell them you ride the bus by choice because they can't conceive why someone who isn't poor would ever do that. But, having to do everything yourself is a type of poverty. I'd rather pay $2 than have to drive myself and park

what a haunting call

As someone who once spent months on a subtle bug that was caused by the differences between a test environment and deployment early in my development years this is both hilarious and awful. Your product deployment really shouldn't be based on not many people using it! techcrunch.com/2025/09/19/m...

Say American residents. Don't say American Citizens. Don't say Legal Residents. Stop participating in the artificial distinctions used to create different classes of people for the purposes of exploiters. Live the self evident truth of equality.
