Can someone make it culturally legible that a top Republican voice in the country thinks it’s very fun that he runs a non-consensual porn bot platform? Are most republicans just unaware of this?

Having new years with a bunch of 9 year olds and they have a bunch of ideas for what should happen to the Times Square Ball that are all /way/ better than what actually happens to it.

OH MY GOD THIS IS SUCH A COOL USE OF BLUESKY’S OPEN PROTOCOL!!

Are smoke detectors better in other countries because I sure do hate how they work here!

“Wow, that Connections had two red herring categories including a full rainbow red herring category and /two/ fivers…” I say to myself, using phrases I have invented specifically to talk to myself.

Orin says that he 51% thinks that Santa is just a story 😭

my festive spirit amidst our grimly stupid reality (2025)

Someone remake “It’s a Wonderful Life” but Mr. Potter believes that hoarding is morally required so he can devote resources to delivering a far future with trillions of humans while George Bailey is like, “Gosh Darnit! What if taking care of people today is what takes care of people in the future?!”

Fuck off, plate.

It is very important to me that we do not tell apartment complexes that they need fast chargers for EVs. They need level 2 chargers. Not more than is used by a dryer or electric range. When you're charging overnight, you do not need crazy voltage.

It's the most wonderful time of the year: Watching Muppet Family Christmas and then re-discovering how the Ripped from TV version someone uploaded to YouTube ends: youtu.be/Bi9qSKZuvC4?... #doomedbaby

In the new year I want to do a series on HanksChannel called “find the papers” where I take a fun science fact and then actually find the papers that established that knowledge. Anything you want me to dig up? I’ve already done “Male anglerfish are sexual parasites.”

We are going to win. And the gay hockey dudes will kiss and we will cheer.

One of my greatest worries about climate was “countries will not trust each other enough to do this” but that’s actually become somewhat moot as renewables have become way preferable for many growing countries precisely /because/ they do not trust temperamental petrostates.

The thing about RFK jr. being a terrible head of health and human services is like…yeah. Yeah, he is literally the worst possible person for the job.

Fun to take. Some of the questions reminded me of this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-Nn...

2025 NERDFIGHTERIA CENSUS!! www.surveymonkey.com/r/868BGP2

I just don't think that anybody understands what humanity is. I think the most common and most intuitive models might just be super wrong.

Turns out the problem here is that I have mild dyslexia BUT STILL.

Truly unhinged question format from a bank with tens of millions of customers.

Malicious optimism @acollierastro.bsky.social

Working on the Nerdfighteria census!! If you happen to have time right now, I would love if a couple people went through this preview (it will not collect data!!) and let me know any mistakes you notice or changes I should make! www.surveymonkey.com/share/6e314ab5-729c-43d6-b00c-b5ec5d4d1fc7

Sometimes someone will get really mad at me because they think I got a fact wrong and then I look and they're mad that they have a different opinion from me.

Want to learn more about our campaign to impeach RFK Jr, and our long-term path to victory? We're hosting Zoom info sessions every day this week to answer: what's next? And how can you get involved? Sign up for a session at tr.ee/RvpnzG ! Learn more at standupforscience.net/impeac...

We've never seen what it's like for a platform the scale of Facebook to go into full-on decline and eventual demise, but we are starting to, and it's not pretty.

The F-150 Lightning was always a pretty dumb idea and an EREV version is obviously superior as a product and for the environment.

One of my favourite comedy specials--and I love me a comedy special y'all

I understand that a lot of folks have been misled by fear-mongering and powerful regressive voices but it’s still astonishing to me that so many have fallen for the idea that oppressively policing other people’s gender identity and expression could in any way be part of an enlightened future.

People are really missing out on putting a little bit of coffee in your tea.

I watched this after my father shuffled loose, and it's such a warm and life affirming hug for the soul.

Pissing Out Cancer, my comedy special produced by and formerly exclusively on Dropout.tv is now available for free and in full on YouTube. Thank you so much to Dropout for being chill and letting me write this into my contract! www.youtube.com/watch?v=xh5G...

I'm gonna resonant computing so hard that my adaptive pluriverse becomes as prosocial as a god damned golden retriever. resonantcomputing.org

Have you taken a moment to think about Rowlf today?

I think all the time about how Ray Kurzweil's dad died young and then Kurzweil spent his entire life imagining a world where a magic moment would arrive where technology suddenly advanced so quickly he could somehow get his dad back. It's very sad and very sweet, but that does not make it real.

It's so weird that we traded delis for coffee shops entirely because no one knew how much a fancy coffee cost and so they could just charge whatever for it.

This is such a lovely and perhaps upsetting tribute. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhA1...

One of the biggest drivers of high housing costs is that a small, highly motivated group of incumbent homeowners block new housing in their neighborhoods and almost no one is organized to push back. Young people bear the brunt of that imbalance. Be a housing fan.

new meme just dropped

Help...I have heard that some people look at a light to /stop/ a sneeze. I am very much the opposite. Are there people out there who have this anti-sneeze reaction when looking at something bright??

Seriously consider taking 45 minutes out of your day (perfect for multitaskers) watch, or listen, to this from Hank Green. Multiple 💡💡 going on all at once. Answers many, many questions. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iwgz... @hankgreen.bsky.social

Cyber Monday is Very Dumb. But, weirdly, I have found that Good.Store does nonetheless greatly benefit by participating. So, right now we're doing our BIGGEST DISCOUNT OF THE YEAR. If you're not sure what we have that people in your world might like, WE MADE A QUIZ! good.store/pages/holida...

An entire 45 minute @hankgreen.bsky.social video answering the question of why boomers run the government - in case you need some Thanksgiving eve viewing material that perfectly sums up why @runforsomething.net exists. youtu.be/IwgzuSqb7ys?...

Neither Montana nor California have legalized in-app gambling and the fact that those two very different states agree on this should be a signal to everywhere else.

Having taken 26 hours away from the internet I now feel uniquely qualified to lecture you all on… I’m kidding. Keep at it weirdos.

HELLO!! I have just weaseled my way into a set at this year’s “Cancer is a Joke” fundriaser! You can see me and a bunch of much funnier people with a $19 donation streamed live from Dynasty Typewriter in Los Angeles! Not, my set, at least, is not suitable for kids. veeps.com/dynastytypew...

Woke up this morning with sudden terrible neck pain. Twisted my ankle going down the stairs and then I sliced my finger on a can of beans. Prepping a turkey breast on one foot with one hand without being able to look down was a new challenge, but I was up for it!

I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

If anybody has any idea why my Twitter account is Japanese, let me know!!

@hankgreen.bsky.social nooo, Hank don’t do it!!!

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else? What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?
