Big and small, we've got it all. Most heartening.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

Are non-refurb, quality single-channel adjustible pipettors really that expensive now? Holy Nessie's butt!

A printed set of World Book encyclopedias is $1200 and only captures info up to the window in time in which it was printed. A few bucks a month can make sure a vital resource that's constantly updated and rigorously scoured for inaccuracies by benevolent pedants remains available to everyone.

Actual advice for (UFP) No Kings As soon as the Klingon Bird of Prey is on screen, go to yellow alert.

Anyway, block, ignore, talk hockey.

I don't know what to do with myself, so I feel right at home. Happy Fall Flannel Forearm Friday!

I've never seen Fed posting as a double entendre until now. Rules against Fed posting still apply.

I'm am forever grateful for my quite expensive box grater. Cheese melts so nicely now, in everything from classic large to weight supporting fluff. I may be in a slight nacho coma now, but I'd do it again. Might do it for breakfast.

So, put what is essentially dust on something producing a large amount of heat... ...guess y'all never tested the flammability at a far lower temperature of powdered non-dairy creamer as a science experiment... ...short version, don't (be a dumbass).

Damn. That was a CO with perspective.

Mood. #art #oilpainting

This is in Alaska. Wrap your head around the size of this ongoing American disaster.

No wonder he started making catios! Fourteen cats! Respect.

After reading Dan Egan's excellent tome The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, reading this is utterly appalling. A significant amount of the world's fresh water is in the Great Lakes, as they go, so do we.

Simply beautiful.

Looks like a lot of lenticular clouds forming around the mountain. What a cool phenomenon.

Happy Anita Bryant Humiliation Day

Thinking about what could've been, as one does at 0310, if Kacey Bellamy had donned the green and blue, and had Brass Bonanza played for her. Sigh.

Excellent piece by Greg Weaver @fresnoland.bsky.social reporting the problems that led to the loss of Teakettle. We need to future-proof our land management agencies so that internal bureaucratic process and structure does not continue to cause inaction. fresnoland.org/2025/10/14/g...

Daily bunny no.3109's seafaring days are behind him

Having rewatched Casino Royale just last night, this is a good awakening. Still wonder why Tomorrow Never Dies isn't rated higher, Michelle Yeoh crushes it.

Anyone else hear the Pac Man sound?

Pumpkin wins! Flawless victory!

I forgot how ratchet I get listening to the radio feed rather than the television feed. 3-all in the third... ...breathe... ...breathe... ...stop clenching the jaw...

Sharks messed that one up but good.

Four. For sure.

For anyone who knows the North Coast, Chavez Market in Ukiah has comals for less than 15 bucks, in flour and corn tortilla sizes. They also have some of the best fresh chicharron, like extra crispy pork belly at 10.99 a lb.

Mmm...unitasker goodness.

Let’s get biblical, biblical…

Does this rate hike come with proper penalties for PSPS incidents, no-fault payouts for lost perishables to the tune of $5k/household, immediate dismissal of the C-Suite if another fire starts from their neglect, full-fault legal and monetary sanctions in the event of damage or death? Then hell no.

When you’ve pissed off WeRateDogs so much they’re calling you “fucking losers” on Main you have absolutely lost all merit in the court of public opinion

When your GP, dentist, and eye doc are hours away. When bad weather means roads closed for weeks, months, or longer. When one season means preparing for another. It's not bad by any means, but the reality isn't idyllic either. There are different steps to take, different things to be aware of.

The best books are those you'll read again and again, those you'll loan to friends, and read to your kids, genre, literary merit, and authorship be damned.

I like to remind people about lifetime limits and the refusal of insurers to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions. The ACA has issues. But those 2 things alone make it worth saving and fixing.

A massive storm that brought a record storm surge to Alaska was poorly forecast, and “this is one of the clearest possible examples to date where missing upper air soundings due to NWS constraints may have led to a degraded forecast.”

I get that it's outdated. But you REALLY need to memorize the phone number of your parents/SO. When you really need that emergency contact, your phone may not be an option. And quiz each other on it regularly.

The US Navy beat the Japanese with ice cream ships. It beat the Soviets with Cher on MTV.

Happy birthday to the US Navy. And in particular to the captain of the USS Missouri. Who, when Cher walked out on deck in this, not in the jump suit they'd been promised, went: "Ah. Fuck it. YOLO." And later almost got stripped of command for it. youtu.be/9n3A_-HRFfc?...

Taps sign

Entire Alaskan villages - nearly all indigenous people - facing massive floods. AK Guard and Coast Guard sending what they, but they're 400 miles from a road, and the closest runway in Bethel is threatened by water. bsky.app/profile/task...

I love when people discover that everything they've ever eaten is just brassica wearing a funny mustache disguise

Okay, this shit is hilarious. Make BBQ with a live dragon?! Dumpsters, Dustbins, and Discards?

Mmmmm... ...dumplings.

Happy low tire pressure season to those who celebrate
