I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

Are they going to wear masks? If not, let’s all go to the airports and take pictures.

The betrayal of trans troops: well that was depressing pca.st/episode/24e7...

Someone needs to sit these guys down and explain the concept of guillotine insurance to them

I don't really get why people do this. I say enough shit that'll get me in trouble without needing an impersonator to do it for me.

while doing food prep today, I’ve been listening to the Guardian’s The Birth Keepers podcast (content note: childbirth, dire outcomes) and I realized how RACIST the Free Birth movement is, because they’re saying the Black maternal mortality rate is because Black women are inherently unhealthy.

Just for more information: HE'S NOT THE ONLY EX-LIBERAL MP WHO IS CURRENTLY CHARGED WITH DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

If I am understanding correctly these are cases that were cited by the trial court in an order denying a defendant's motion for a new trial in a criminal case and were cited to the trial court by the state in its briefing In other words, a criminal defendant had a conviction sustained on this shit

The tech bros are going to have to re-schedule the AI Revolution. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Glitch shuts Yara Pilbara, Australia's biggest maker of vital fertiliser input ammonia, for two months. The shutdown comes as a quarter of global trade in ammonia, used for urea fertiliser and mining explosives, is blocked by war. www.boilingcold.com.au/glitch-shuts...

Interesting discussion at this thread but the cash-out point, for me at least, is that one *must* explain to people flirting with antisemitism as an adjunct to pro-Palestinian advocacy that they are doing Israel’s work for it

Good day to listen to lemon pound cake. Congratulations #afroman youtu.be/oponIfu5L3Y?...

If you have 1000 servers, each experiencing a fatal error randomly once every 3 years… you will get random, unpredictable, unstoppable failures every single day. Scale is hard because it makes rare things common.

Please soothe your soul with this footage of an enraged muppet being treated at the wild muppet center.

Gonna be weird having the French on our side, next time we invade the US via Canada.

Finally, a real use case for JavaScript

Still really weird to read this as a Sydney sider

So try and hear me out about this Strait of Hormuz security situation

Just going through random old news in the metaverse area and this was ridiculous in 2021 but now lmao finance.yahoo.com/news/metaver...

I feel kinda bad that the stones got destroyed. I think I had a weird fondness for the stones even though they were horrible political project; Instead of cows field contained standing stones with eugenics ramblings. Would not buy again.

START HRT. YOUR FAMILY IS ALREADY DISAPPOINTED.

If this means he's not bombing or invading anyone for five fucking minutes, then no. www.theguardian.com/games/2026/m...

Use Moses to find all the mines.

I would be pretty reluctant to carry a pager gifted by Mossad, gotta say

I love this timeline www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

This is a WIN for science. RFK Jr’s overhaul of vaccine recommendations has been BLOCKED by a federal court. The ACIP committee cannot meet as planned this week, since its membership has been invalidated, and ALL votes made by those advisers in the last year have also been invalidated.

*emerging from a tank I have driven through your homes* ok which one of you assholes is going to clean up this mess.

You are also just far more effective and more likely to be listened to if you are not seen as having a vested interest in it. It's much easier to be listened to on 'we should hire fewer people from Oxbridge' if you *went* to Oxbridge, for instance, because no-one can accuse you of being chippy.

I salute the pedantry of the child’s new toy.

It's not that deep? Jim Crow-era landowners were, in general, spoiled, incompetent silver-spoon brats who didn't know how to actually do anything. Like manage their property. So they kept sharecroppers in debt to make up for it. You really don't have to romanticize it, it's just "power corrupts."

I think relentless mockery is good, but endless 'awareness raising' may not be helping. These guys want to market themselves as the forbidden taboo knowledge parents are scared their kids will uncover. They do not want you to burst out laughing at the thought of them posing next to a rental car.

1/ Russian commentators are asking if the Russian government has shut down mobile Internet in Moscow due to fears of a coup attempt. With the shutdown now well into its second week, they express concern about the stability of the Putin regime. ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/anto...

Remember this when anyone tells you you can never negotiate with terrorists, that they can never integrate.

My cat Stevie had stunted growth because she was a stragly street cat, because of this she is still 100% crime.

This is everything

This Vietnam War reboot is shit.

I'm working on a book outline that argues democracies rely on the constraint of power through functional verification, deliberation and accountability and how thats been hollowed out and captured in the US, and he just tweets it out.

I am very sad Minnesota didn't go for the fighting loon flag.

Kyiv citizens spending the night in metro stations, hiding from russian drones and missiles.

Hey, so all those extra gas plants that they were bringing online to run data centres? Yeah.

It's extremely windy today and if I only owned an acoustic bike, today's errands would have been in a car. Our Ebikes remove the barriers. They neutralize winds, flatten hills, shrink distances, and make up for lack of energy. E-bikes don't replace bikes, they replace cars.

Americans Jews have no more power over Israel than the average American voter. In fact, the far-right government in Israel pretty much loathes us because the vast majority of us are left-wingers and many of us are reform aka not Jewish enough for them.

THIS. Charging for water isn't anti-agriculture. It's a basic guardrail that keeps lowest-common denominator bulk goods, that can be grown just about anywhere, from crowding out more financially rewarding types of farming. That brings MORE MONEY to farms & rural areas.
