the year is 1990. american children walk out of their schools chanting, "no blood for oil." the year is 2003. american children walk out of their schools chanting, "no blood for oil." the year is 2025

Fun fact: copper is so easily reworked and recycled that there is a tiny tiny chance that some of Ea-Nasir's inferior ingots are in the device you used to write this skeet.

Unbelievable. This would be a terrible blow to American science, writ large. It would decimate not only climate research, but also the kind of weather, wildfire, and disaster research that has underpinned half a century of progress in prediction, early warning, and increased resilience.

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

Fox News’ Chief National Security Correspondent. We are about to go to war for oil, while citing a lie as justification. Again.

Lol, I love Hello Chinese.

I think it's important not to misunderstand what these social media platforms are. They are not public arenas where we bravely take on reactionary forces in honorable combat. They are apps that expose you to stress and thereby simulate the feeling of having done something useful

repeating “the lady who handcuffed herself to the twitter building has veto power over national security personnel” to myself over and over and slowly going insane

This is worse than when we used to make Furbies talk to each other.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind

The 2025 Year in Review is now available on LibraryThing! Now in its third year, it's better than ever! We've added lots of new information, in order to give you even more insight into your LibraryThing activity over the course of 2025.

Repealing Section 230 would chill free speech by allowing platforms, not users, to be held responsible for what its users say. Platforms will become much more censorious over what its users can post. This is extremely bad They're trying to rush it. Call your reps, don't let them

Additional atmospheric rivers are expected to impact the West later this month. Given the significant river flooding already impacting Washington and Oregon, a continued risk of flooding and landslides is expected across the region through at least late December.

It's so fucked up to have been a kid during the D&D is the devil freakout and the Tipper Gore dirty lyrics freakout and live to see the teen suicide machine get such a pass.

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.” Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

Skagit County has ordered Mount Vernon and upriver communities of Hamilton, Rockport, Marblemount and Concrete to evacuate to high ground as soon as possible. Everyone in Skagit County living in the 100-year floodplain will likely receive an evacuation notice today.

Oh shit y'all, I found a vintage meme!

Abso-fucking-lutely not

It was the omg of times, it was the Jfc of times

Never forget the true meaning of Christmas

A reminder on evacuations: Level 1 means be ready. Be alert. There is a threat in your area. Level 2 means get set to leave at a moment’s notice. Have an emergency kit. Level 3 means go. Leave now. You are in immediate danger. Find more details in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXim...

SKULL OF THOMAS AQUINAS: TAKE A LEFT NOW PRIEST: No, the GPS says we have to keep going— SKULL: I KNOW A SHORTCUT PRIEST: Do you remember the last ti— SKULL: FOR THOSE WITH FAITH, NO EVIDENCE IS NECESSARY; FOR THOSE WITHOUT IT, NO EVIDENCE WILL SUFFICE

This headline isn't just *misleading*, this is a deliberate attempt to create a false narrative about life-saving medical care. Absolutely fucking disgusting.

I don't know why I haven't made this before now.

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.

There's a post over on Twitter that I've been laughing to myself about. Some right-wing guy is celebrating that a school took down "All-Gender" bathroom signs and replaced them with "Single Occupancy Restroom" signs. And like... it's the same thing, man. You're celebrating a pointless relabeling.

show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn't a selfie

I know I'm not the first person to make this joke, but I *am* the last person to see the movie, so here goes. (ahem) They missed a real opportunity by not calling Ocean's 8 ... MILF Money.

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

Reminding everyone that the more *accurate* a company can promise its data harvesting is, the more $$$ they can sell or rent that data for. That was always the game with Facebook. Same game, new profiteer angle.

Saw a triple moon headache rack today: sheet metal crescents and a welded chain full moon, all rattle-canned blaze orange. Fuck yeah, redneck witches!

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel, Disney Animated or Pixar.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

Further evidence that widespread covid vaccination is better for everybody.

some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think
