Hi everyone let's talk about the Carlisle 52 series of cups, in particular the Carlisle 5216, a topic about which I am extremely normal. In my estimation, a triumph of thoughtful industrial design and is probably my favorite ever mass produced object. 🧵

Zohran Mamdani will be sworn in as NYC's first Muslim mayor on a Qur'an from the personal collection of the great Afro-Boricua intellectual Arturo Schomburg—as well as Qur'ans owned by Mamdani's grandparents. www.nypl.org/press/schomb...

THIS. Did you know sickle cell is curable, now? FULLY curable. If you're feeling down or despairing about what FEELS like technology/advancement/science "standing still" or being fully malicious, I have great news: You're not paying attention to actual science. Just tech industry marketing.

It's kinda funny how every third political post on has some variation of "oh so you think there's going to be elections how cute" in the replies while the daily news is of Republicans getting boatraced in elections, manufacturing the reality you desire to be outraged about isn't just a rw phenomenon

Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, while simultaneously removing apps that report the location of ICE officials because Google sees ICE as a vulnerable group. “Big tech has made their choice.” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

MAGA is homegrown. There is no Russian conspiracy. Your neighbors are actually white supremacists. Stop blaming everything on some foreign actors as if your country hasn't been responsible for dozens of genocides and atrocities without foreign intervention.

ADHD is stored in the ass

Guilty as charged 😌

beyond the obvious metaphorical fecundity of this, it also makes me wistful thinking about what the jackass crew could have done with some cheap humanoids. i want to see johnny knoxville boxing a unitree g1

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

Seriously though, I love-hate Reddit posts where the title is "AITA for marrying the love of my life" and it's a middle-aged man who broke up his family by grooming his teen daughter's best friend

Ever notice how the poster of the AITA question gets to set it up in their favor? “AITA for not letting my drunk best friend blow my husband at Christmas dinner?” I’d like to hear the friend’s side before passing judgment.

Idk fam maybe try some insurrecto stuff against the American military bases in your country and let us know how it goes. 🤷‍♂️

More prosaically you are quadruple screwed if you lose your job and very few people have either the savings or social infrastructure to be off work long enough for any sort of insurrection to work

“We were transferred from one prison to another, and during the strip searches I was raped.” That’s what German journalist Anna Liedtke, who was abducted by Israel from the freedom flotilla boat Conscience, says Israeli soldiers did to her while she was being held in captivity.

Watching THE GREEN KNIGHT again

This is me every day. i don't believe a thing I see, the major difference is I also don't know if I'm wrong, so I just pretty much scroll past every image and video... which sucks, too.

If you were visited by 3 ghosts on Christmas, who would you want them to be?

And Tiny Tim, who did not die. Yet did not live. Trapped forever in his tiny body, never growing older, cursed to survive only on the blood of the living, never to see sunlight again

other than Badenoch being a woman what on earth has she ever done to make anyone think she can boil a pot of water, she's more likely to let the roast burn while she rants about my parents genetic makeup

Regia Lucha posted a clip of Santa Claus (& El Grinch) in action from the 7th.

Second anniversary of our Apple TV’s spectacular attempt to understand me asking for “Hercule Poirot’s Christmas”

In the hallmark movies where the lady goes back home from the big city, they never talk about the game she must play pretending that the ethnic food in the small town is anywhere near as good as her family thinks it is. Just grimacing while eating mid Thai food.

I mean yeah it’s an authoritarian takeover but can we take some comfort in the fact that the people doing it are INSANELY stupid?

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

on brand for russell

Nah it's cool everybody he's a Christian now remember that was in the past haha he already became a Christian so no worries no need to pay attention to his past behavior he has a note from Jesus that says he is excused, hahaha don't worry about it fr fr it's in God's hands now, amen

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months. It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

I need it. I need it like water.

We also stopped mass lead poisoning, stopped burning holes in the ozone layer, and massively reduced acid rain. So much is actually possible. Even in the broken world we live in, absolutely gargantuan goals against "necessary" realities were accomplished.

QTP with a video game that takes you back to your childhood

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

I’m sorry, but it is disgraceful to be an academic who uses this technology to conduct research. It should be prohibited in all of our scholarly institutions, including universities and journals.

OUT: creampie IN:

Okay, I’m breaking my promise (sorry) because I forgot one of my favourites, which is a Nigerian way of disparaging someone’s intellect that goes “why are you such a Dundee United?” Dundee has been synonymous with being idiotic ever since Dundee United’s disastrous West African tour in the 1970s.

At least one academic publisher is now outsourcing article production to an AI firm. How's it going?

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

The genuine kid interactions are an element that modern SESAME STREET has abandoned, which is a shame, because as a kid, this made the characters even more real. Look at the way they all make eye contact, or drape an arm around the Muppets. A true connection...

Ouch. Difficult to say "Our previous CEO was protecting a sexual predator" more explicitly than this. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

I don't think a face is supposed to make that shape, it looks like it turned to liquid. And it's beautiful.

Incredible words from real boxer Anthony Joshua after he knocked Jake Paul the fuck out lol

Sophy Ridge to someone from Trussell: "Can I just ask, demand for food banks is going up and this is often seen as a negative thing basically, that it shows that more people are in need turning to food banks. Could you flip that and say its a good thing..." er, no.

David Walliams' reputation was an open secret, junior staff were told to meet him in pairs & never visit his home, yet HarperCollins only dropped him when a Telegraph investigation came out. The problem is not just him. HarperCollins knowingly promoted & funded a guy sexually harassing junior staff.
