a.) who the fuck is doing this??????? b.) I mean I guess it explains the mysterious frequency with which i encounter 30 year olds driving $90,000 pickups

Much in the way that morels are often found at sites where forest fires occurred a few years before, Anime World springs up in the fertile soil left by a Hot Topic closing

Happy Pluribus Season Finale Eve to those who celebrate.

seeing something crop up over and over on social media that fits the basic format of the Fermi paradox (e.g. “if that were verifiably true it would be on every channel and every news outlet”)

there will be more books and also lesboge about this in time

Keepchange You! Filthy Animal

lol okay that’s one way to crack into the 20 percent range of approval

I’ll keep saying this until it sticks: If it’s within your ability, it’s easier to write good code once than try to spot little bugs in review. (People suck at reviewing and they hate doing it. If anything we should be training the fucking LLMs to do code reviews.)

okay this is my current favorite linkedin guy ever. “data centers in space are nonsense unless they release the UFO technology” is virtuoso shit

I really don’t care about “the letter” that much. Not quite a full on distraction but heading that way.

my wonderful christmastime is going to be COMPLICATED AS FUCK thank you very much

My most expensive spindle. this one deserves its own post. This one is a tiny masterpiece of glasswork to create a coral reef. Made by Stephen Willette

Bluesky please enjoy (some) of my supported spindle collection. Many of these artists are my friends (and a few I even made!) More in comments!

okay just saw someone say this "killed this TA's career" and uh teaching assistant is not a career. it's not even really a stepping stone to be being a professor. it's a kind of assistanceship position that you do while you earn your graduate degree. the *graduate degree* is the career builder.

surely if I chum the water a little the sharks will leave me alone

I have been assuming that there are people who know their way around a Python script who have been at these full bore but …. maybe that’s a bad assumption?

Grinch always pulling this shit

i will say this is the first time it’s felt like the 21st century in a good way for a while

The minute by minute battle between people uploading the video and companies taking it down is a real early internet idealism information wants to be free cyberpunk situation

Bari Weiss trying to perform an abortion and accidentally delivering 1,000 babies

Bari Weiss yesterday: Well that should keep THAT story under lock and key for a while! Canadians today:

some people on this app bolt awake at 5am every day asking how they can clown themselves harder

One of the more important stock-taking moments to watch a bootlegged news program censored in your country.

wow thanks. I really needed this

quick 60 minutes summary thread if you work a shitty job on the west coast and haven’t seen it yet

anybody who’s seen it wanna give tldr or a link to a tldr on the 60 minutes segment now that it’s leaked?

I need to share this with someone

"But WHY does the water erupt if it's more dense than the ice above it" - the greatest argument in the history of planetary science, locked by funding agencies after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

The most plausible explanation is that this is a fake video submitted by a member of the public who found it on social media. When you step back and imagine what might qualify as "Epstein files" documents that would require release by the new law, it would likely include tips from the public.

The video is on YouTube and has been for 5 years!

Your power bill has tripled and you can't afford new PC parts just to create this.

You take the Chip pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the Dale pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
