Anybody know any good stretches/exercises for a hip that really *really* wants to dislocate?

It never struck me before but the idea that the Pope can just reassign cardinals and bishops who piss him off is deeply funny, call it the Father Ted treatment

Okay so I know I was being flippant about Charles I and the ship money thing but uh

dawg what

Oh dang, officially halfway through grad school

Frankly I’d be more concerned that my parents used last-generation M2 Bradleys as currency

COOP

Time to send Jake to a nice farm upstate

Elves that sound like antebellum Virginians Dwarves with the thickest Appalachian accents possible Pennsylvania Dutch halflings Gnomes from Minnesota Let’s get real weird with it

Shot in the dark, does anyone have a link to any articles that: 1. Breakdown the actual expenditures of a primary care visit? Like X% to the Dr, Y% for insurance, etc? 2. Provide information on upward price pressure on employer-provided health insurance plans with the ACA/Medicaid cuts?

Good morning go birds

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. …gentlemen, it’s been an honor and a privilege 🫡

Small domino: Charles I wants to finance some light raiding on the high seas against Spain Big domino:

I’m not a theologian but I’m gonna go ahead and call this turboheresy

I legitimately don’t understand how a person winds up with these opinions. Yeah, they’re all still really young so have like…negative-to-zero life experience to speak of but holy shit

I'm not being funny but how does a normal person share a society with these people

Relatively quiet day thus far so time for a silly army anecdote

i have been thinking a bit about how any political program that requires the premise of “america bad” is a dead end

On the topic of "tearing apart the White House is okay because it's a negative symbol for a lot of people around the world," just kinda find+replace "flag" with "White House"

if tumblr dies I need this video to make it's seasonal rotation here instead just in case, Happy holidays 🎄

Can confirm

Hey quick question but if someone creates a BI dashboard that doesn’t let you export the data it’s okay to throw them out a window right?

This has to be like 50% weird evangelical Christian supremacy and 50% “stop claiming religious exemptions for beards”

It’s going to be a *fascinating* time to be a psych researcher over the next decade or two

If I was a swing voter in PA or MI who tipped the scales I don’t think I’d be able to show my face in public anymore

Me: “I wish I could focus enough to do homework while the kids are awake but I’m always waiting for them to start fighting or break something” Wife: “Dude that might just be anxiety” *distant crash, children crying* Me: “Does it count as anxiety if it’s right though.”

Every job that can be should be WFH, but especially during the winter so you can actually see what your home looks like during daylight hours

Me when it happens

The all time funniest way would be in the middle of a John Kruk and TMac broadcast

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson. Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa! [BIG ASS THREAD]

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it. They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Just got a wild bit of inspiration out of the blue to make a social media account that’s basically “so you’re 19 years old, broke, and are learning how to cook for yourself on the cheap” Am I an especially good cook? No I am not, but I’m very good at cooking at volume with limited ingredients

Good afternoon go birds

Feels like 19° with windchill right now but we got like 6” of snow overnight!

READ THEORY “it comes down to the man on the ground with a gun” - Admiral J.C. Wylie

…”you may fly over a land forever; you may bomb it, atomize it, pulverize it and wipe it clean of life—but if you desire to defend it, protect it and keep it for civilization, you must do this on the ground, the way the Roman legions did, by putting your young men in the mud.” T.R. Fehrenbach

Something I harp on A LOT in my grad work is how government services collapse when you apply a profit motive to them. They are FUNDAMENTALLY NOT businesses in any meaningful way. Like, you can’t apply the same logic to Amazon as the post office and expect it to work as a service

Important call went well today, so:

NJ keeping Van Drew on the team essentially to be the asshole whisperer makes a painful amount of sense

I know that if I was in charge of any organization, I would immediately ban wearing these in the workplace

Okay hey so I got some tentatively extremely cool news this afternoon and I need everybody to dedicate like 3-5% of their consciousness towards manifesting victory on my behalf

I wouldn’t be so salty about how cold it is (16° with wind chill right now) if there was snow. Cold without snow is insulting

“you will be visited by three spirits” the spirits:

I have just learned that Chris Pratt is in a movie that appears to be Minority Report But Worse and the world would have been a better place if he never lost the weight and stuck to straight comedy instead of getting cast in Guardians of the Galaxy

I feel like there should be limits on the Second Amendment except for when it’s funny. Like if someone wants an M2 HMG, yeah that’s a problem, but if a Boy Scout Troop fundraises and buys an M777 howitzer to win the pumpkin tossing competition at the state fair that should be allowed

Still amazing that AI can’t perform basic arithmetic but I’m expected to believe this is the glorious future
