The first photo I captured of the 9-23-23 Ada, OK supercell (after a few test shots). Yes, all three lightning strikes were captured in a single image! From my distant vantage point, this intricately-structured supercell gracefully danced under a sky full of stars with unmatched beauty. #Photography

So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.

I think one of the things that every technologist needs to ask themselves is "What would the worst person on earth do with this thing I'm building given enough money to take it over". Often people are optimistic about the best uses and lack pessimism for the worst. (why I have a job in security)

I'm sorry but I can't help myself: the best fruit discourse is poisoned by conflating "average one you get at the grocery store" with "best you've ever had.". The classic example is peach, the average grocery store peach is dogshit and the best you've ever had is a transcendent experience

people think saving elixirs and never using them even after the boss fight is a funny video game thing but you realize that's just who you are as a person when you clean out your fridge and find a jar of sauce from 5 years ago

"no swearing in school" my god just quit and go to another school man, there is no coming back from this here

Otters have undergone weaselfication in that the optimal shape for a mammal is a pipe that is a bastard

i love being able to see the vision here. like i would not think of a length of pvc pipe as looking like a baby otter but i'm not an otter

The purple area contains all of the highest volume posters, this could be an extinction-level event for non-New Yorkers hearing about the weather

If this Olympics has any lasting effects, I hope one of them is the expansion of the PWHL

I listened to an interview with Alysa Liu yesterday and I can see that the interviewers are unsettled by her and do not know what to do with her responses. She challenges so much of what USians are taught about competition and frankly about how to live a life.

One of my favourite descriptions in older literature is "a person of strange fascinations". Depending on context, it means they're either a weird sex pervert or a colossal nerd, and it's handy to have a phrase that can mean both of those things because in my experience they're often found together!

If your mans is not soundtracked by an upward glissando on a medium-pitch bowed string instrument when he peeks around that corner you need to know you deserve more!

This is it exactly, a fallen Shrek

If I could impart one thing to folks learning how to cook, it’s this last thing. When it says “season to taste,” that means add salt and pepper and taste it, and if it isn’t shimmering with deliciousness, add more and try again. Keep doing that until it’s perfect.

Or get one of those cool new salt spoons.

Weekend plans

I urge you to stop what you're doing and watch Alysa Liu's free skate from yesterday. I have never seen anything like this. I understand why sports writers are born now. I have never seen anyone as free from the burdens of this world as this pierced Oakland girl spinning to Donna Summers.

I didn't think it was possible to hate this book more than I already did but then a Joanne jumpscare happened

spirit gotta be teachable... cause you wont always be right

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

we must stop buying this idiotic American idea that the worst thing you can do to a white powerful man for committing horrible crimes against democracy is "losing your job and people saying mean things about you." there are far worse things we can do to these criminals, and we should do them.

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

youtube is where lower production quality means better content

Arrested on his birthday lol

If you stop watching with toy story 3 the series is about how you can set aside your childhood toys while still retaining a fondness for the good times as you move forward into adulthood. if you keep watching them woody goes bald

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

Mikaela Shiffrin wins the slalom gold medal by 1.50 seconds If you add up the winning margins of the winners at the 1998, 2002, 2006, 2010, 2014, 2018, and 2022 women's slalom, you get 1.51 seconds

There actually is an example of "A character acting in direct contradiction to what we know of them in a way that feels like a betrayal" but it's not Luke. It's Hux. 🧵

This is a great encapsulation

I really cannot over, emphasize the speed at which they are shutting down your ability to do personal computing in an effort to literally wall off the Internet as an entirely paid for enterprise that you must subscribe to in order to exist within. We are in very deep shit here.

He's also right about another thing I am constantly going on about, which is that a LOT of straight male behavior is fundamentally IDENTICAL to gay male behavior, masked ONLY by the fact that heterosexuality as a social construct relies on the constant denial of this plainly obvious fact

This is @glutelord.bsky.social and he's completely fucking correct. The fundamental tension at the heart of all incel culture is that these guys HATE women and refuse to appeal to them but desperately want to get laid anyway, and this contradiction can only really be resolved through violence

A Republic, if you can summarize it.

kebab is actually short for kerobert

If you take money out of a video slot—or an online betting app—you're not thwarting the company, because you're not a customer. You're churn. You're the price the company pays to FIND their customer, and their customer is the person whose life they're going to ruin. On purpose.

thinking about Nick Groom's suggested "seven types of obscurity" in Gothic novels, forming a handy "is it goth" checklist lmao

I’m so tired of being expected to dole out butt pats to guys who can’t even write an email without Dark Clippy whispering to them.

i like that they were advertising things you could buy and put in your house, like you engaged money and you got a thing. now all the commercials are for medicine, insurance, apps, hot chip and lie

Every trans selfie you see here is the technology not being used for its original purpose: weird dudes grifting each other for fake money and posting bullet point summaries of 100 page self help books and arguing about age of consent laws.

An account you control, @PagliacciDaClown, has been suspended for the following post: "Who up doing clown shit, lmao? I'm thinking about ending my own life." Our moderation policies aim to encourage healthy discourse. For an example of a user we think exemplifies this spirit, see @PagliacciDaClown

@drewmagary.bsky.social and @davidjroth.bsky.social interviewed the show runner for The Simpsons on a pod recently and if any of their beer name suggestions get used that's gonna be multiple @defector.com people making in into that universe.

So is that @dhm.bsky.social at the top right?
