WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

it would be funny if Costco ended up buying Target

honestly i think posting on here and keeping things chill and not so precise helps us stay human. AI can't shitpost!!!

They spent at least $50 BILLION over 2 months to bomb people in Iran. I don't want to hear a single thing about what can and cannot be funded in this country. Ever. The End.

May I present the debut performance of our new band Junk Rock Smash Brain testdelete123.com/junk-rock-sm...

Fantastic read

You never have to defend politicians. You really do not. When you feel the urge bubbling up, drink water and keep it moving.

Out today, recording & mixing by neat noise @lingren.bsky.social : regionalbears.bandcamp.com/album/extraire

bingo

wow

heroic

Thinking about that point in the decaying Roman Empire where all forms of divination came under fire because the Imperial powers had grown so paranoid, the idea of even asking -if- the Emperor might die was seen as a direct attack upon his life (and punishable by death)

What the fuck are we doing here

I support @sanders.senate.gov’s efforts to stop the sale of bombs and bulldozers to Israel as the Netanyahu government levels entire towns and targets communities in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank.

Oz has outlived Baum. Miss Marple has survived Christie. Bond ventures on without Fleming’s help. This is thanks to the work of writers who have been tapped to continue a dead author’s projects, for the continued enrichment of their estates.

Did you know: There's HD video of Here Comes The Pizza?

This kind of thing is also why you can catch me on Ghost.

Pope Leo is no angel.

How screwed are we? Frasier Crane edition So I went to my favorite produce guy at the market for white asparagus, which has a v short season and is generally only grown in Europe, where they like fancy vegetables. Guy wraps it in fleece like it's an antique vase or a newborn baby or something. 1/?
