Time of year for me to re-up my “Quadruple The Number of Public Swimming Pools And Rec Centers” plan. Will also add: it can be a good youth jobs program!

Another opportunity to post this hilarious semiotic analysis of this phenomenon: velvetshark.com/ai-company-l...

We *could* be chugging the wind and the sun too.

The only thing I like about Jordan Peterson is that he once ate nothing but ham and benzos for such a long period of time that he fell into a coma.

Or maybe, just maybe, people don't want to go far for stuff

Reminds me of sadness I feel but can't adequately describe when I see the same person walking their dog past our house, and every single time they are on their phone.

Counterpoint: it's tiny particle's moment to shine

You’re a navy seal ? I didn’t ask about your fursona but thanks i guess

hetero in the sheets, homo on the feets

Good news LGBTQs

It’s also telling that they see “a long-term life on medication” as bad. There is nothing wrong with being on medication if that’s what’s keeping you healthy! Having medication that makes you well is good, actually!

Everyone eventually becomes dependent on "lifelong medication" it's called "ageing"

it was literature pub quiz night and our team name "flowers for algae gone" didn't get a single laugh, this isn't the country i grew up in

Frequent teacher thought these days: how much LLM output am I grading

I had a serious bike accident in Minneapolis last month and was in the HCMC ICU for several days after needing emergency brain surgery. We put together a GFM; I'm looking for some help with the mounting costs as I recover. Anything you can spare will help <3 gofund.me/97b67235a

Not enjoying today's discourse: is bi real?

excuse me what

Another writer who apparently doesn't read, because Newsweek invented bisexuality in 1995.

Good afternoon from Neyaashiinigmiing

While the CBC gap is indeed pronounced and striking, we shouldn't sleep on that dip in CPC trust for *The Weather Network*

...... i'm sorry, they wanted to invade greenland because red lobster nixed the unlimited shrimp promotion? www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Ironic autocorrect: my phone tried to render limitarian as limousine

really excited about my groundbreaking initiative, It's Ok To Admit Wealthy People Can Be Real Stupid

One of the only things Trump has ever been actually good at is knowing when something has the stink of loser and, in this case, he has absolutely figured that out, but cannot get out of it

SJÄMSÅRA

Nothing says "Canada is three corporations in a trench coat" then going to your local drug store that's owned by a grocery store that did a collusion on bread prices, and seeing individual oranges for sale for $2.50 each.

Discovered double protein chocolate soy milk today, so I'm going to become an even bigger soy boy

Finally some good news?

When Sharon gives book recommendations, pay attention; she doesn't miss. I've only read Furious Minds but it is an indispensable intellectual guide.

New book day. Looking forward to reading @jwmason.bsky.social and Jayadev's book after hearing their excellent interview with @doughenwood.bsky.social.

Tonight, I simultaneously discovered what a Smørrebrød was and may have eaten the best sandwich of my life. If you're in Lesser London, check out Pub Milos: pubmilos.com

Appreciated @michaelhobbes.bsky.social's sense of generosity toward people who found something useful in this book even as he critiques it. It's how I found out about EMDR, which I found helpful in therapy. But woof, he's doing good work exposing some scientific whoppers in it.

Like twice a day now I read a headline that makes me remember that time I went to Versailles with my mom, and she looked around and went, “They had it coming.”

Whenever I think "the internet was a mistake," something like this comes along and reminds me why it's wonderful. Did I know I was going to learn about algae today? No. Am I glad that I did? You bet!

Felt exhausted, expected a meh class, and it turned out to be a high point of recent years? Funny how that works.

Curious how many of these people do land acknowledgements

I'm not a misanthrope by nature, but "no dog is illegal?" Come the f on.

Are you ever working on a PowerPoint, having a miniature existential crisis and thinking, man I need to figure some stuff out?

got this one today

getting a CTE to own the bourgeoisie

"This project doesn't seem very Indigenous." "It's actually a quite traditional Indigenous practice. It's called surviving. And since you need money to survive in this society..."

Troubling reports out of England of 30 year-olds being socially transitioned into same-sex attraction without parental consent! One can only hope that the UK bans coming out as gay until a child is at least 35!
