Honest to god, I love my Turkish colleagues and the country is immensely beautiful, genuinely one of the most memorable places I have ever been with food that is some of the best in the world, but given who Erdogan is and what he has done to the country, seeing the US fall below Türkiye is painful

it's all I got right now

Interpreting everything in modern times through a Tolkien lens is my schtick, but the whole fall of Númenor, where the most prosperous and advanced society of men was increasing in power as their hearts became more corrupt and their leaders became obsessed with defying death…it hits different now

It’s overdue. I love BJJ. It’s been the most exciting thing I’ve taken on as an adult. It’s culture is shit.

I once protected chuck norris (Worked security for an event he was speaking at; met him briefly)

I know that I am not the first or even the 50th person to make this observation, but genuinely, I don’t think the founders of this country could’ve ever imagined a future where Congress would so readily abandon it’s own power in service of a tyrant.

WWII POW with a Purple Heart, turned owner of very small very rural country store (see below; I have a ton of childhood memories there) Farmer turned rural mail carrier who was probably the most well known member of the entire community

I think that there are a lot of people rightly disappointed that Crockett didn’t win. And I also think some people on this website in particular are off-put by Talarico’s very obvious Christian messaging, but that messaging is very much not “reach across the aisle” messaging.

Got suckered into adding hammocks because “I need a spot to ready my hardy boys books”

When did braces become a kid thing more than a teen thing? I got mine at 13 and had them for 3.5 years. My daughter got hers at 11 will have hers off by 13 or so

It’s kinda wild to me that we perfected human locomotion something like 140 years ago with the modern chain-driven bicycle

Who’s got the “I did that” stickers of Trump for vandalizing gas pumps like the dingus squad did during biden’s years?

I strongly believe that grad students are not responsible for a PIs program of research. This is a byproduct of how my advisor mentored me: she trained me and fostered my interests, but I was not essential to her research getting done. This largely reflects in my students as well.

A lot of people pointing out that AI only does mediocre science, at best, but, if we’re being honest, most of us only do mediocre science, at best, as well

1/ Assuming reporting bears this out, I understand why people find it terrifying—but it’s also a complex worldview. I was raised in a dispensational, pre-tribulation, premillennial evangelical household. This is the same theological belief set most of the current administration subscribes to.

 something that I very much love about Bob Dylan’s ”With God on our Side” is how it was a time capsule of a song that is not at all relevant today anymore.

So, I was taught growing up that Romans 1:27 referred to AIDS “In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

Stretching “candy,” but…

a lot of discourse on here attributes way too much logic, reason, strategy to the government's actions by doing their rationalization for them. i don't think we have reason to believe they care to rationalize what they do? they've been pretty explicitly exercising power and enjoying impunity.

Might as well put Capone on the FBI building and the Ted Kaczynski on the ATF

I can’t decide if I’m too open to AI or too guarded but I’ve chiefly found that it has two uses for my job: 1) troubleshooting code that won’t run 2) “please write a 300 word bio of my professional profile for this stupid talk I’m giving that has asked for a bio”

I have no idea whatsoever if this is true, because, unlike some of you, I recognize that the discourse on here is massively detached from reality and normal people politics BUT I haven’t hated a democrat as much as I hate this guy since back when I was a republican

I think bluesky would be roughly 300% better if people here were capable of reading “this is an assessment of the empirical reality of a situation” without assuming it comes with an implicit “and therefore I endorse the reality of that situation”

“You should never be proud of doing what’s right. You should just do what’s right.” When Dean Smith comes up, this story is always the first thing I think of. www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colle...

i didn't care for schumer's statement, but if you're going to be angry at him, make sure you're much angrier at thune, who bears this obligation even more strongly than schumer and will absolutely ignore his own duty

The waffles/pancakes tweet remains undefeated.

And I have to say, if your political strategy relies on the Senate Minority Leader making an extra-forceful statement, maybe you need a better political strategy? (If your strategy is "better Dems," maybe work on the 4 Dems opposed to a War Powers resolution instead?)

Not for nothing, but in our community which prohibits door to door solicitation explicitly and obviously, the only solicitors we’ve ever had to tell to get off our lawn have been republican canvassers

I'm already sick of "It's all a distraction from Epstein" replies. This regime is killing innocent people because our leaders are all power-hungry tyrants and war profiteers. When you say it's "just a distraction" you minimize the gravity of what's happening and the lives lost.

Celebrated a birthday with this one today, hiking in the Cibola National Forest, and now I can officially say that she’s spent more of her life with me than without

I lived in Ohio for 13 years and if anyone is wondering if the men from this season of love is blind are an accurate representation of men from Ohio, the answer is absolutely 100% yes.

 saw a completely pink cyber truck in the wild today, with a business logo that said “I’m ugly, but your house doesn’t have to be“ and it was for an interior design group, and I can’t support ever having a cyber truck, but that’s an effective message

At my first faculty job we had a nice lounge that served as a place to warm up our lunches and have access to a full sized fridge

What’s wild to me about this is that there is absolutely no shortage of absolute lunatic doctors out there that do have a license to practice. Staggering levels of incompetence here, could accomplish the exact same goals with a much less controversial nominee
