Canada as a state. Greenland as a state. Iran as a state. The Western hemisphere as a state. Stuff like this should immediately end a presidency, seeing as it wildly violates the UN Charter & massively endangers US national security. But alas, he is One Special Boy & nothing seems to matter anymore.

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

We'vs talked about conger eels before. Let's do it again! They show up quite joyfully in the very modern (1967!) coat of arms for the town of Congleton, which has 2 congers surrounding a floating barrel, or tun. It's a canting, or visual pun. Get it? Conger + tun = Congleton! 🗃️🧪

THAT'S RIGHT, MOTHERFUCKERS, I WON A WEBBY AWARD. Here's my 5-word speech. #webbys

The two pictures are 11 years apart. On 10 May 1933, the Nazi Party staged an ideological spectacle of the burning of 'un-German’ books. 2nd image: Auschwitz II-Birkenau, burning pits outside gas chamber and crematorium V, 1944. #Auschwitz warns us of where ideologies of hatred can lead people.

At a lecture by Toronto author David Winterton. His book on architect Frank Darling confirms that Winnipeg’s Union Bank Tower is…. Canada’s First Skyscraper. A title I’ve researched and advocated for over many years. It’s now being repeated elsewhere. Victory, Winnipeg. @alexbozikovic.bsky.social

Physicist Robert H. Dicke was born #OTD in 1916. He invented the lock-in amplifier and the microwave radiometer, performed delicate tests of general relativity, predicted the Cosmic Microwave Background, and probably coined the term "black hole" as it is used in astrophysics. 🧪 ⚛️ 🔭 Image: AIP

Absolutely bonkers footage of Ukrainian soldiers shooting down Russian drones in prop planes with shotguns. Not ai, came from an official Ukrainian account and verified by the WSJ.

finding this shit on my Mac was a pain in the ass, btw I guess recent OSes hide the library folder? anyway, here's how I finally located the weights.bin file open finder > command + shift + G search for "~/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/Default"

There have been endless theories about why Tiger Woods' career fell to bits but to my mind there is no doubt about what exactly went wrong. Nothing was ever quite the same for him after he stopped employing David Crosby from the Byrds as his caddy.
