When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Everyone needs to read this. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Your yacht will never find out anything damning about your business.

Devastated to see what’s happening at a place that I loved because it was the writing home of so many people I loved. what a gutting week

Please read this.

🤦🏻‍♀️🤬 What are we even doing…

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. This… is sending me mixed messages?

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

We talk a lot about "writer's block," but not nearly enough about "writer's avalanche" -- that feeling of just going about your day, doing the dishes or walking your dog or whatever, and getting blindsided by a flash of ideas that swamp you all at once.

Psst! Registration ends in a few days!

TFW: You finish a "clear out all the clutter" revision and get rid of 8,000 words the story just didn't need. Like cleaning your whole house, but SO much better.

By now, some of you are probably reaching the point of, “Jeez! We get it! You’re left-handed! Why you gotta harp on it so much.” But the thing is, it’s not really about being left handed. Bear with me…

Things that are oddly perfect for left-handed people: #2: Nutrition labels For most boxed foods, when a lefty grabs it off the grocery store shelf, just turn the box toward you and read it! Righty? Your hand’s over the label. Do they not want you to know what’s in it?

Things that are oddly perfect for left-handed people: #1: Toilets I suspect the flush handle is conveniently (for me) on the left because social convention is to greet someone (shake!) using your right hand. So people don’t wanna flush with that one.

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #10: (Some) handles We're a "keep to the right" culture, so even lefties reach for double-doors with our right hand to swing them open, but there's also unnecessarily handed ones like the ex. below. Why?

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #8: Inside pockets #9: Outside pockets

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #6: Can openers #7: Wind-up watches

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #5: Desks Sure, you can have the drawers on the left -- if you're willing to pay more for a bigger/custom/modular model. Again, most offices/hotels/schools don't bother. *bigger sigh*

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #4: Adjustable desk chairs The knob is usually on the right side. Sure, you can pay extra for a version w/ the knob on the left (or TWO knobs), but most offices/hotels/conference centers don't bother. *sigh*

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #3: ATMs & credit/debit card slots/swipes If you hold your card facing you with your thumb on the front (like everybody does): Righties -- you're all set! Lefties -- Sorry! BACKWARDS.

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #2: Ladles (especially fat skimmers) If you're left handed, you have to pour away from yourself (awkward! messy!) or use your non-dominant hand (also awkward! usually messy!).

Scissors. School desks that come as one piece. Notebooks. * I'm not left handed, but my sister is, my best friend is

Things you may or may not have noticed are designed specifically for right-handed people: #1: Pie servers. Many have a cutting edge on only one side and/or are angled to make it easier to slip under a crust edge from the right side. If you're left handed, your pie will DEFINITELY get mangled.

Give me a #StarTrek opinion that will get you disrupted: The Borg would have won.

Change one letter. Ruin a candy. Spittles

What is it like inside your head?

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Have you issued a formal statement about clipping your nails on the commuter train? The situation across the aisle from my seat is… unpleasant.

😡 THIS WAS SOLVED PROBLEM!!! I can't even... www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

Let's celebrate some GOOD NEWS for once... 😊 www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

“Secretary Kennedy is not entitled to put people’s health at risk. He has rejected science, misled the public and compromised the health of Americans.” www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

This reads like sane-washing. Like we’re all supposed to ignore the overtly racist, misogynistic, homophobic, etc things that Pete Hegseth says and believe he’s really articulating a more “nuanced” idea. 🙄 Uh… NO! That Hegseth Speech Was Actually Pretty Good www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/o...

Take a movie title and replace one word with “bollocks” The Twilight Saga: Breaking Bollocks Part I

I have not watched Breaking Bad.

Post someone who looks good in black.

“Mr. Hegseth further directed… [DoD] to ‘execute their service fitness tests at a gender-neutral, age-normed male standard scored above 70 percent.’” “Gender-neutral… male standard” 🤯🤬 WTAF What Women Heard in Hegseth’s Remarks About Physical Standards www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

“If you gut the agencies that give you data you don’t like, you can create your own nostalgic reality where American men are skilled again and women know their place.” 💯🤬 American Women Are Leaving the Work Force. Why? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/o...

Blaming Democrats for a shutdown when you control the House, Senate, and the White House only proves you can't govern.

Aaaahhhhh! I’m so excited!!! @prongdeer.bsky.social finished my next character illustration! 🤗

Mets season is officially over… 😫😢
