I'm gonna start a cinema club where our goal is to watch Christopher Nolan films in formats that would piss him off

if we try really hard, we can make the adjective for a mayor's race "mubernatorial"

I hate hearing announcers do live reads for gambling sponsors so much, everything about the expansion of sports gambling has made the experience of watching sports immeasurably worse

Like ten years ago I was on a really early morning flight from Portland OR to LAX - so not long at all - and I was seated next to an elderly woman who came in on a wheelchair. She ordered three bloody marys within an hour and goes “they ROLLED ME ON, they can ROLL ME OFF” shine on you 💎

Mohamad Sofa, a representative at UNECOSOC, writes on Twitter “The world must remember that we live in a society, not an economy.” I am going to repeat these words wherever people might listen.

Albania is erupting for the second consecutive day in angry mass protests against the Kushner land seizure deal worth $4 billion.

Can we please return to precedented times? I wish to be bored again by the news.

But not like beer-can armor, this is aluminum hydroxide, a gel that is /chemically/ resistant. That led to the next question: where does an amphipod find aluminum salts? The answer is in the sediments (mud) & the amphipod's gut. They ferment glucose into acidic 'gluconolactone'...

So ANY crustacean below this line is an anomaly... Which is *why* when scientists found an amphipod named "Hirondellea gigas" at the lowest place on Earth, Challenger Deep, they wondered how it survived at 35,800 feet (10,900 meters) down. This paper explains what they found: aluminum armor.

The "carbonate compensation depth" (CCD) is at about 14000 feet (4300 meters). Below that, the calcium carbonate used by crustaceans to harden shells & exoskeletons dissolves faster than it can form, due to dissolved CO2 in the cold water. Shells or exoskeletons falling from the surface dissolve.

There are almost no crustaceans in the deep ocean. Not because they would get crushed, but because they would DISSOLVE. The cold & high pressure cause changes to water that make it very corrosive to calcium carbonate shells. But there's one crustacean who solves this problem with ALUMINUM ARMOR.

"I can’t do anything about your unaffordable rent or exorbitant student loans; I have no expenses in my life. I live in a potato chip display and sleep twenty-three hours a day. I can’t fix your general lack of purpose."

It is my great pleasure to report that the dentist in the shopping plaza across the street from Dundas West station still has the Frogs With Human Teeth on display. I think about them every time I pass by, but I never have time to go in and check.

Here's a quick clip of the Worf's Weapons module from Berkeley Systems' Star Trek: The Next Generation Screen Saver collection. It's one of my favorites. You can check out the whole video here: youtu.be/960fwN8nCpE

WOW. The New Jersey AG has charged an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office sergeant for allegedly stealing a photojournalist’s camera equipment while the journo was at a hospital being treated for injuries she suffered outside Delaney Hall. The bag had an air tag and was tracked to the cop's house.

It’s great except once you hit a certain point the kit is incomplete & you have to wait for them to send the rest of the bricks in a trickle estimated to take until 2034

i wrote too much but basically this.

The regulatory state is more important to the smooth operation of society to which we’ve become accustomed than anyone in this administration realizes, and in a lot of ways, we’ve already run off the cliff and are just starting to look down

This is how you end up cursed.

I just realized that when It Happens, Fox News is going to be so weird to watch -- solemn, tear-filled tributes to America's Most President™ interspersed with angry coverage denouncing the millions and millions of Americans celebrating in the streets.

i think daily life would be much more interesting if every morning you got to choose from one of three randomly selected upgrades (e.g. sliced bananas on cereal, +0.1% to walk speed, homing missiles)

"The florsheims fit fine" should be engraved on his tombstone.

Striking to me how little reporting there is on this rule proposal, which is maybe the biggest change to American governance in almost a century. And this reporting is … weak. www.npr.org/2026/06/03/n...

The drop in support for marriage equality last year was not a blip, it has declined further, dropping 6 points from its high of 71. Whether or not gay or lesbian relations were "morally acceptable" dropped 9 points. Support for LGBTQ rights broadly is diminishing. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

I recently was thinking about practical examples of about what kinds of info would constitute a "nuclear secret" worth keeping, and one of them was converting plutonium nitrate to plutonium metal.
