Listening to the Artemis II livestream today there were multiple points where the only voices I heard were from three different women. The moon mission passed the Bechdel test with extra credit.

I love Terry Pratchett more than any author that ever lived but if he was actively doing what Rowling is doing I would burn every book. I would be heartbroken and angry but the smoke would reach the heavens regardless

Democratic consultants: To replicate Mamdani’s success with the young people we must appeal to their short attention spans with memes and TikTok Mamdani (actual quote): In the fifth century in what we now know as Ireland, a British warlord named Coroticus had laid waste to the countryside

Show somebody who absolutely rocks a hat and isn't Indiana Jones.

The hardest working quotes you’ll see today are these quotes around “feedback” arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...

This is such a great under appreciated point of “cancel culture”. I don’t think someone who does something like Biss did should be in prison, or jobless and homeless, but there must be SOME consequences, and “you have to work regular schmuck jobs like the rest of us” is such a minimal consequence

RIP Rosie 💙

Over the course of 10 years at one job I had three coworkers who later killed or were killed by their spouse.

With slop bowl restaurants so popular, you'd think someone would catch on that stew is just a hot wet slop bowl

1. Tailgunner, Lumberjack, Janitor, Draftsman, General Contractor 2. Volunteer Firefighter (I'm sure he had other actual jobs but I never knew what) Me: I tappy-tap on a keyboard with ample coffee supplies and grumble when the office is chilly

If I was a governor I would be asking myself what Trump would do if Federal law required him to proclaim Obama Day

Interesting to me because I was a very picky eater when I was younger, and I mean well into my 20s. Up to then my score would be 29. Now 30ish years later my score is maybe 4-5 depending on how strongly we mean NOT. I could eat any of them if pressed, but 4 or 5 I strongly prefer not to.

I think a lot of people would be surprised to learn how many small towns are politically dominated by their wealthiest resident, who owns a car dealership or fast food franchise or meat processing plant or whatever. America has been sowing oligarchs for a very long time.

No offense to any other comic ensemble in human history but COME ON. This one show would populate at least two Mount Rushmore's worth of comedy legends. (Harold Ramis and Martin Short were in it too.)

Without hesitation I will state that I also was the result of an unplanned teen pregnancy and my mother’s life (and father’s) (and later sibling’s) would have been better if she hadn’t had me. She will strenuously disagree of course because she is a loving mother but that doesn’t change the reality.

Minneapolis has FIFTY YEARS of inclusive laws protecting trans people, allowing them to self-identify, and ZERO cases of trans people attacking women in the bathroom. ZERO. Over FIFTY YEARS.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Coincidentally this was just shared with me today

Can't find good sources now but years ago I read that the majority of popular American xmas songs were written around the 40s/50s, which was also an era when novelty songs in general were at their peak popularity in the US

Literally a Black Mirror episode

It should go without saying to anyone who isn't a dumbshit that "No formula is superior in nutrition to breastmilk" does not mean "No formula provides sufficient nutrition"

It shone pale as bone As I stood there alone And I thought to myself how the moon That night cast its light On my heart's true delight And the reef where her body was strewn

Email from Fathom Entertainment: "Experience Giordano’s Most Popular Masterpiece in Theatres" Me, a Chicagoan: The...pizza?

i’m setting you free. i’m releasing you from the discourse

Years ago, still relatively early in my tech career, we had an incident and a last minute meeting was called. I was the second person to walk into the room, and the first person said "Mike, are you aware when you walk into the room it feels like everything is going to be okay?"

There's more of gravy than of grave about you, Charlie Brown

We've reached the phase where people propose ideas that are actual episodes of Black Mirror

God help these people if they ever discover Godzilla movies

The accumulated guests at your Thanksgiving dinner will look at the table and ask "Where is the turkey?" and then all the aunts and uncles will look down and shout 'DROP IT!'...and I'll look up and whisper 'No.”

Today I was at a sold-out concert by former members of Oingo Boingo and it was by far the most concentrated genx energy I have ever experienced in my life

Now if I could choose two people to tell the Aristocrats joke…

“You may choose one person to tell you the Aristocrats joke.”

The farther any shape is from radiatori or campanelle the worse it is, with one exception for spaghetti and only spaghetti. So yeah, it’s penne. If Ned Flanders has a favorite pasta, it’s penne.

The Jays have the chance to do the funniest thing Canada has done since 1814

It's very beside the point, but it's an irony of "No Kings" that I don't know any living monarch has the carte blanche power to do whatever the fuck he wants that Trump gets away with.

There’s a bee in the Menards garden section buzzing around the aisle of fake flowers and that’s just a little sad.

Honestly probably easier to name the few that are less worthy

Who the fuck is out there doing “late” circumcisions??? How much data could there possibly be?
