The ROGD paper was so bad particularly b/c the author wrote it based on a survey distributed to participants the author knew would support her conclusions in secondhand populations self-selected for transphobic sentiment, with unverified respondents, and based on that she claimed the phenom was real

i didn't realize until today that Lufthansa's special 100th-anniversary paint scheme deliberately casts the airplane's wings as the wings of the crane. very cool.

Costco promotes its executives from within its own workforce, and is wildly successful. The lesson from this is that corporations should only be allowed to hire executives from the pool of Costco workers

They didn't just leave it in, there was apparently a microphone near where he was seated (40 rows back). Seems downright callous bsky.app/profile/core...

We are counter-programming the State of the Union with a fundraising telethon featuring everyone’s favorite Bluesky posters doing short presentations and sketches on stuff they are passionate about. Will stream on YouTube starting at 8:30pm EST postersmadness.wordpress.com

that's exactly what they are wanting to do -- panopticon-level shit, and if every republican with any remaining principle doesn't stand up loudly against this, they can just sit down forever and not participate in public debate, honestly. this is your moment.

NEWS: We’ve found more evidence proving that Amazon’s “cheap” prices are the result of intimidation and illegal price fixing that drives up prices for consumers.

We are, as directly stated, and as evidenced by industry data, headed for a reality where venture capital is 4 firms and they are all in a cartel together so they are just one thing. MONOPOLY ON VENTURE CAPITAL. And for every crank of that wheel, a lot of people die.

So many people don't seem to know what an actual apology is. 🫩😮‍💨

Prosecuter: what are your feelings about Elon musk Prospective juror: elon who? Prosecutor: Elon musk Prospective juror: dunno who that is Prosecutor: the asshole who made the world's largest CSAM generator and already killed half a million children by destroying USAID Judge: *bangs gavel*

Saw someone say elsewhere that their kid with sensory sensitivities would like almost all of the recipes in COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, but they were pretty “basic” and they would try to make them more interesting… please, your food averse child probably doesn’t want exotic grilled cheese. Stop. 😭

Discworld QOTD, from Soul Music “Famous I don’t know about,” said Glod. “It’s hard to be famous and alive. I just want to play music every day and hear someone say, ‘Thanks, that was great, here is some money, same time tomorrow, okay?'”

so after being bedridden for 16months due to a hernia, I've finally got my surgery! I'm in a lot of debt from my extended illness and I've not found a job yet, so if you've got a couple dollars, it'd help me get through this last stretch. Thanks so much! ko-fi.com/fooneturing

I am going to marry two strangers because the blizzard closed city hall.

The SM64 "backwards long jump" is such a disappointing name once you learn that the Japanese name for this trick is the "ass warp".

the single most traumatizing thing to happen to most people is … orders of magnitude different from this minor inconvenience 😭

I know there's more meaningful shit happening right now but it's wild to me that otters eat pelicans and nobody talks about it.

⚠️ One of the most impressive #blizzard’s we’ve ever witnessed. Here’s another aspect: Ocean gusts over 100 mph, creating massive 45 ft waves, rouge waves up to 75 ft! Would not want to be sailing through that ⚠️

Charlie Kirk repeatedly pushed the white supremacist Great Replacement Theory and regularly made racist comments in his public statements. If we can't call someone so explicitly racist "a racist" without getting fired, who else is off limits? Donald Trump? Nick Fuentes? David Duke?

The Peanuts movie may be the king of this. I assumed a lot of the more extreme posing was the result of swapping in bespoke character models for those poses, but, nope, a lot of that was just the result of having incredibly-flexible, almost Will Vinton-ass claymation-like character rigging:

Today, our hearts are bursting with love. Welcome to the world, my son and yours: Abolish ICE

Hey folks, this might only apply to Lidl in Ireland, but... I've often given the advice that you should buy a rice cooker, and noticed they are getting them back in Lidl from the 26th Feb - 4th March, this is the one I have and it's lasted me for years, and it's only €17.99. I had to tell everyone!

Let's break it down — this is the way the world ends: Not with a bang — but with a chipper and apparently sincere, but in fact completely stochastically generated apology. If you would like me to show you more fear in a handful of dust, let me know!

Safety and alignment staff at Meta watched as AI speedrun deleted her inbox despite her repeated and emphatic instructions that it not do so. When it was done, the AI responded: “You're right to be upset… OK. That was wrong - it directly broke the rule you'd set. I'm sorry. It won't happen again.”

Happy Snow Day from King Vidor and Colleen Moore!

New Republic: Sen. Mike Lee, no genius, posted this idiotic criticism of Democrats: “Cartel hit men wear masks. Leftists aren’t complaining.” Sen Chris Murphy responded; “Oh, dear Mike, I literally couldn’t have made our argument better than you do. The bad guys wear masks. The good guys don’t”.

Oh, sorry, is now not the time for this? 🪶 🐣

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

I just got a call from Brittany Pettersen's office (presumably to ask me if I'm going to caucus and if I will caucus for her) and they started with "you're a strong Democrat and we want to know how you feel" and I just unloaded.

Albi Kitchen opened in their spot just off Loring park in late 2025. Then Nick Shirley showed up to “investigate” the daycare next door and Albi endured weeks of random angry MAGAs wandering, causing problems, and costing them business. Now they need help to recover. chuffed.org/project/1689...

We cut child poverty in half across this whole country and also instituted universal free meals in public schools across this whole country. And then we let those policies expire. During the previous administration.

The Bonus Army was also racially integrated which is part of why MacArthur laid down such an extreme beatdown
