Nasty looking line of storms coming. The late spring storms have been unusually spicy this year.

MARKETS ARE PRICING IN A SUCCESSFUL REOPENING OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ, LEAVING OIL, EQUITIES, AND OTHER RISK ASSETS EXPOSED TO SHARP DOWNSIDE RISKS IF U.S.-IRAN TENSIONS ESCALATE AGAIN.

It is not my job to emotionally regulate other people. It is not...

This is a pathological mind

today i discovered my partner has been giving the kittens a drop of cream every morning. i was greeted with this, when i failed to deliver said snack:

I HAVE A BATTALION SIZED ELEMENT OF SUPER MUTANTS IN FRONT OF THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL, THEY'RE PUTTING BARRELS OF FEV IN THE REFLECTING POOL

At least the U.S. has a succession plan for its aged ruler. On any given day over the next decade or so the world could wake up to one of two giant nuclear-armed power vacuums.

The funny thing is that being yourself as an older person, as long as you're a decent bloke, makes you cool to younger folks

I think I read about this in a novel back in 2007. Called "Halting State" or something, can't possibly remember who wrote it ... /s

I’m out of Tinsel’s favorite food and tried feeding her her second favorite food and she’s absolutely furious.

A power Moscow respects targeting the capital? Fair enough. They have lived under the fear of nuclear bombardment from the West for a very long time. A vassal they believe is a fake country doing it? It is humiliating and terrifying

as a leading writer on Glonzo issues, i think it might be useful to draw a distinction between fake problems and merely bad solutions what i mean is that a "Glonzo issue" best describes a situation where the supposed problem *doesn't exist* and thus any supposed solution is pointless from the start

Since I did do my PhD in cyanobacteria growth and treatment optimization modeling AND work in the water treatment industry, I’m gonna share my theory as to what’s happening here and how to fix it. People are focusing on the painted bottom of the pool increasing residual heat, and while that 1/19

I wrote up a few thoughts here.

Not fucking some of this stuff up doesn’t require much expertise. It requires common sense. In the same way, any person with common sense should have been able to look at the US’s screw worm tracking program and think, you know, I’ll bet there’s probably a reason we’re paying to sterilize flies

Repeat after me: I am not more kawaii than Pope John XXIII. I am not more kawaii than Glenn Greenwald. I am not more kawaii than Mehmed II. I am not more kawaii than Noam Chomsky. But if I stand back and watch and learn, I will be more kawaii than I am.

I cannot stress enough that this IS NOT NORMAL. As in, it does not happen. Unless, of course, the government wouldn’t want defendants to find something in discovery by pursuing their legal fees under the Hyde Amendment.

New: Trump’s family crypto business expected to soon be allowed to operate like a bank Decision will be made by Trump-appointed regulation Charter approval would allow US companies to complete transactions - like Venmo - on Trump platform, with cut for the firm www.notus.org/economy/trum...

I love a joke with layers.

So you're telling me the market is finally ready for me to ship pcOS—the only operating system that is also probable cause?

Windows updated and now won't boot. My favorite!

Good piece from @smotus.bsky.social. What I will add is less scholarly & more based on having grown up in suburban TX with people like Talarico's TX antagonists. A key answer to the 'who is this messaging even for' is the messengers themselves. They get off on this shit. (1/n)

I apologize for the unscholarly rant, but I think it's worth anecdotally describing the world that produced Talarico's antagonists. This is who these little fucks -- fellow TX Gen Xers -- have been since the 1980s. The anomie of the present moment is allowing them to return to youthful form. (7/7)

These guys are not hard men from hardscrabble backgrounds; they're comfortably middle class & no different from Talarico in this respect. But his antagonists are clearly hosts for the phony, paper-thin language-virus version of masculinity that gets drummed into a lot of Southern white men. (2/n)

Its all bullshit and will fall apart before two days pass.

omg

lol I just passed a kid trying to sell water and Gatorade out of a cooler and he just looks at me and goes “you know what, it’s way too hot for this shit, bro” and then he packed up and left 💀

One of the things about the Lauren Southern story is that her reactions after being raped by Andrew Tate aren’t unusual. A lot of people think, maybe subconsciously, that they’ll never be raped. A lot of people, maybe subconsciously, blame victims. Unlearning this is key to combatting rape culture.

The contrast between the massive organic outpouring of communal joy in New York and the tawdry little spectacle at the White House couldn’t be clearer. This is the real #America250

While many of you are yelling "GO HEAT" and "GO HUMIDITY" I'm yelling "GO POPUP THUNDERSTORMS AND THE CONDUCTIVITY OF TALL METAL STRUCTURES"

Happy Friday, from this big orange baby.

A thread I'm transferring over, answering a question asking me how I was doing after a few years medicated for ADHD - how my comorbid conditions (depression, anxiety) were doing, how the medication was working. I answered there, but here it is again: My depression is functionally gone.

My spouse just reblogged this on Tumblr & I have multiple moots who I know will enjoy this.

I believe SpaceX goes public in two days.

Let's learn about the coquí frog 🐸 (Eleutherodactylus coqui), native to Puerto Rico where it is a beloved national symbol. I want to focus on their call: two tones described as co- and -quí. (SOUND ON) Take a listen 👂 & see if you spot the pattern. Then I'll tell you something amazing about it.

Wondering if Iran is timing this with the Friday stock market turn to add pressure to Trump.

Rainy AF this first week of June. Like May came late or something.
