I’m seeing more and more Minneapolis/Minnesota people naming that they are burned out and I just hope people allow themselves to change their pacing from sprint to marathon or better yet, a relay. Slow down if the alternative is you crashing out and not being able to do anything.

Day nine of the Valentine’s inspired ‘songs as old romance comics’ series - this time Joy Division’s Love Will Tear Us Apart.

wait what

I changed the audio

*INCOHERENT SCREAM OF TRIUMPH* gizmodo.com/mummy-4-rele... Now bring back Admiral Hotness and the world's worst brother and we are in BUSINESS.

The guy who fired everyone the minute that the lockdown started, even though furlong money was available, wants pubs to support Reform He's not doing it because he thinks it's good for you

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

From "Green Eggs and Vance" We will boo you on a train We will boo you in the rain We will boo you on a boat We will boo you with a goat We will boo you on TV We'll boo you in Italy We will boo you here and there We will boo you everywhere We'll boo you at every chance We do not like you, JD Vance!

Does anyone know why the original one got removed? Meanwhile, new labeller, may take a bit of time to appear

Bring back poetry as an Olympic event

We need more theatre kids in politics

That preprint is out. Meta-analysis of 52 studies

Pure inadvertent comedy gold #IDSky

Hello my curious & hungry archaeogastronomers! I have a lovely little episode for your commute home! Where, I imagine the streets of medieval Kaifeng and the restaurants bustling with hungry customers, eating jiangs & ferments of all kinds, ancestors of miso! Enjoy shows.acast.com/the-deliciou...

Just watched my train ease extremely slowly onto the platform because the driver had clocked a woman with a dog sauntering down the wrong side of the yellow line. She appeared oblivious to the guard yelling directly at her to move If he'd come in at normal speed, he could have hurt them both

I discovered, when I was paired up with the world's least useful mentor through a work scheme, that whole families go on the March for Life And the overlap between people who are anti-abortion enough to still go on the March for Life and people who don't vaccinate their kids must be pretty large

It's Leo's Towing--and they're doing a charity event with Lito's Burritos on Sunday 💜 www.facebook.com/share/186pVG...

TWIN CITIES Armed Citizens Against Tyranny is a HONEYPOT action. No one in the Twin Cities, including the MN Gun Owners association, knows anyone supposedly in this group. Local orgs are STRONGLY urging folks to STAY AWAY from their planned "protest." acatusa.com

Goes to check: Purchased on [date]

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

This is like watching the US version of the scone wars

lmfao at "Your Honor, in the ancient libraries of Ashurbanipal." Incredible stuff. I'm not a lawyer but man what a swan dive

I've met men who literally told me they didn't know how to talk to me once they found out I wasn't single Didn't Know How To Talk To me Asshole, just say words! *tears own head off and throws it at him*

And a lot of pick me women

A reminder: last time, they told us there was an opt-out from the electronic "summary care record", if you didn't want your data siphoned up from your GP surgery... but NHS IT ignored that code, took your SCR anyway, and sold it to Palantir. This time, they're saying it out loud. TELL THEM NO.

For those keeping score at home:

Gentle reminder that Jimmy Carter once negotiated a ceasefire during the second Sudanese civil war to help eradicate Guinea worm disease 🫡

Refugees are such an misunderstood group. It is, unfortunately, extremely expensive and difficult to escape from countries that don't want you to leave Many refugees were probably middle class, but not rich enough to buy their way in. They didn't leave everything they had for a life on welfare

Could someone with access to Brazilian Bluesky please see if it's possible to get hold of the actual study? I want to send it to certain sports orgs, ideally in English, because I doubt they will bother to arrange a translation

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

You know when men tell women they need to *blah blah* because it attracts men? Women don't need that, they need to avoid hobosexuals and predators Men are losing to bears. Come back when they learn to be more bower bird

Following the release of the Epstein files Jk Rowling has deleted a decade of port logs belonging to the Super yacht Samsara. What is she hiding?

Want to boost this a little as I've seen folk talking about how Anas Sarwar wants to remove trans women from women's prisons - because in his actual column he makes clear it isn't just prisons. It's everywhere.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAJAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breathes* AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

Fucking finally, an explanation for how Oxford incurred the wrath of GB News and the Telegraph I understood the town planning ideal, but not how that could have caused all the hoo hah. But rage at a basic, and unrelated traffic scheme makes some sense of it

New washing machine has sensors to stop it spinning if the load is unbalanced. Unfortunately, this stops me doing a cheat's hand wash on my nicer jumpers: spinning them close to dry in the machine, instead of rolling them up in towels Washing them en masse creates more friction and is slower

One of the things I had to adjust to when kiddo was little was that I wasn't earning during mat leave. So when I went out with kiddo, I had snacks, change of clothes, wipes, nappies, toys My husband had gone back to work. He went out with kiddo. Usually the nappy bag. They bought anything else

I know this from researching police salaries for a recent paper: many cities have a set of officers taking home more than $500k and they can’t really explain why oaklandside.org/2026/01/29/o...

Just a few months ago, a child in the US developed the most feared complication of measles (subacute sclerosing panencephalitis) from an infection they had years ago when they were too young to be vaccinated. I hate to think about what is being unleashed by this virus as a future tragedy.

You know, it's very British to do a day club that plays Where's Me Jumper, Love Shack, and Brimful of Asha in succession to a packed dancefloor. Also, my group knew all the words, tho not everyone danced to all of them Alex did, obviously

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

I keep thinking of that survey that found boomer men less likely to complain about loneliness than younger people. This guy joined the group that radicalised him in search of community We are so screwed when the generations who always found community online retire and their IRL friends start dying

And now for something completely different

I have made progress on this #crossstitch design

Skynet intesifies

Also interesting, and matches my feeling that a huge part of the UK's problem is that mining employed so many people in good jobs with strong community links. It's hard to leave a community behind, but there's never been a successful push to replace those jobs in those towns

Ok, how many of you are willing to read about company finances and lawsuits just because the company is Hasbro and the problem was Magic the Gathering? I feel like the overlap of interests may be quite narrow but one side of the Venn diagram is strong

Not pictured: Haruki Murakami’s wife, or indeed whoever is cooking, cleaning, paying bills, running errands, doing the laundry, answering emails, etc like yea his routine is goals, but let’s not lie to ourselves about all the invisible work others are doing to enable him to have that routine
