Can someone please explain how writing in sharpie or a blue ball point pen on something is engraving or carving?

I thought it was all about merit now?

Like 80% of spam calls are automated detection systems looking to see if you actually pick up when called and if you do they sell your number and times you answer to other scam call centers lmfao

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

Proposal for how to fix family wise error rates. For every uncorrected p value you must add an extra letter to the claim. “Eating chocolate maaaaaaaaay be associated with lower rates of stroke”

Health and science reporters should lead the coverage of all these health-related conspiracy theories & newsroom leaders should keep their both-sides political reporters out of their way.

political reporters: "who's to say which side is right? I'm just reporting what they say!" science & health reporters: "me! I can say who's right! can anyone hear me?"

CHOTINER: So your son is 14, is that right? IKARI: It's complex, Isaac. If— CHOTINER: And the “robot” he pilots, that’s actually the child of an alien you keep crucified in the basement, which is possessed by the spirit of his dead mother? IKARI: Look, let me answer the question. CHOTINER: Sure.

If you are unsure of what to wear today (as there is a chance the rapture may take you): you might as well wear a mask, for the chance that you’ll be raptured today is disappointingly low, but the chance you’ll be exposed to Covid today is distressingly high.

Washington Post reporter Joe Heim confirms this Trump-Epstein “Friendship Month” statue has been placed on the National Mall

Oh man if only me and everyone I know had been screaming for years about this exact situation happening as a consequence of law enforcement & the military being allowed to use surveillance weapons of war on domestic civilians like they kept on being allowed to do so now this is also happening too

Just sayin

wait they saturated every single cable network and could only get 3.2m? that's genuinely fucking hilarious

SENATOR @MarshaBlackburn: “We need the National guard in MEMPHIS because boxcar/train burglaries are up 5000%.” MEMPHIS POLICE: “Those crimes are actually down.” 🤷🏼‍♀️ 🚂 (h/t @NoApologies901)

"Raptured" I mumble, as I block someone

Per Samba TV analysis, Kirk memorial was watched by mostly old white people

man, same

Blocked a couple of transphobes today, so a reminder that one of my favourite naval artefacts is the figurehead of French pre-dread Brennus - which started life as a bust of the goddess Ceres. And doesn't he look bloody marvellous?

Ever since a bunch of drunks watched the wrong opera. (And I’m not even kidding!)

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgian... For those who didn’t believe me (smart! I’m usually full of shit, but this one’s actually true.) It was “La muette de Portici”.

I feel like the feeling of AI is if someone learned about the golden ratio and implemented that knowledge by putting a big obtrusive Fibonacci spiral shaped conch shell in every single thing they drew

this is amazing

We need more white men who have already wrestled with their authoritarian upbringing to "straighten" these guys out Which means we need cis het white guys parroting trans men and the poetry of trans men and the hot takes of trans men

This is a big one. Today's piece in the EAPM Style and Accessibility Guide magazine, The Word, is by @sandyernestallen.bsky.social on a worrisome media trend he's seeing — and it all starts with a dose of hate. eapmstyleguide.org/9-23-2025-tr...

I think more people should challenge the fact this weirdo views women as currency and fears trans women will dilute the market

embarrassing stuff from philosophy on quite a few levels

Investors are backing enough LNG tanker capacity to put the world on track for 4C of warming. This is when we're on track for 3C of warming and aiming for well below 2C. Investors are backing assets that'd be stranded even under the worst climate scenarios. www.businessgreen.com/news/4519373...

#BREAKING WHO sees no autism links to Tylenol, vaccines

jokes like this reinforce and spread addiction stigma, and that stigma is a huge reason why they successfully gutted public health work addressing addiction and overdoses. and it’s why they’re targeting adhd medications next. this isn’t funny. it’s harmful

"People these days are making money from activities at home like streaming or music recording, and that because this would not be possible without the rental property, the landlord should receive recognition" WHAT?! This is why people call them landleeches.

I doubt the observation is unique to me, but it's funny how it's always "women should simply fight the pain" and not "men should simply fight the flaccid penis"...

amusingly, I have to use OCR to get the alt text for these images, because you're not allowed to copy the text directly. Scumbag scammers, but truly, I blame the developers of GenAI for first creating a tool by stealing our work, which is then used to steal EVEN MORE OF OUR WORK
