I’ve said this before, and I’ll say it again - and I’m not gonna say it’ll make you HAPPY - but if you’re looking for the realest and the purest things among humanity, sure you could do worse than taking two hours and JUST watching Sinéad O’Connor reaction videos

New York and LA should offer an equivalent to Israeli birthright trips to every theatre kid in the lower 48

My NYC take has always been the city should require the owners of all those permanently empty storefronts to let young people live in them for nominal rent. America’s weird kids would all move to NYC and revitalize this place, refresh the art scene, be safe from homophobic families, etc.

Oh, thank god. I was starting to develop real withdrawal symptoms. I had resorted to using... ellipses, for fuck's sake. Ellipses. [shudder] gizmodo.com/chatgpt-achi...

I am not exactly sure why the laws of physics require it, but if you have bad knees you are guaranteed to walk into at least one sharp-edged coffee table a day.

The more I see the more confused I get. He’s injecting… lines of cocaine? There are nunchucks on the door and a skull on an endtable. A driver’s license, king and queen playing cards. The handprint. CALVARY. And a map of the Americas in the peeling paint on the wall. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

I love this GALEX ultraviolet view of Andromeda. I wrote about it a few years back: slate.com/technology/2...

How many of your dead relatives will you be legally required to keep on your phone? If a phone update 30 years after the loved one’s death wipes out their files, can you sue your phone provider for murder? If you stop calling them, five or six generations on, do they die again, or just fade away?

Another woke opinion: No country should have nuclear weapons.

Everyday Americans also have identities I think

Governments in the 21st century should work to protect their citizens from corporations. Oh, and war is bad and almost always unnecessary.

Ignoring the subject matter… I swear to god there are more people out there who want to fantasize about how writers live than there are people who want to read a book.

CONTROVERSIAL OPINION: comics are important and we should think of them as a part of a balanced literary diet

Who out there writing wifewolf fiction?

100% support striking workers. Especially those whose logo is a severed zombie hand clutching a Starbuck’s cup.

Since the pandemic I do this thing where I leave whole words out of sentences—prepositions, connectors, even the subject nouns just disappear. I thought I was losing my mind. Then I started reading blogs and newsletters and saw it everywhere. Did Covid damage the language centers of our brains?

what if the people we gave all the wealth and power to actually gave a shit about us

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______. No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

I see this and all I think is: stillsuit.

Don’t bother me, I’m pondering my Carnivorous “Death Ball”

It's good that public sentiment flipped as soon as people saw the consequences of the things they thought they wanted, but we have a serious problem if we're going to keep cycling through this process forever.

Dear Physicists and Physics fans, I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th. Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬

Please don’t eat the fungus in the fourth picture, I think it might be a dog doing a cunning impersonation of a mushroom.

I think the trial of the D.C. sandwich thrower is going to end in a hungry jury.

A whole bunch of people younger than me got elected last night and I am totally good with that

I saw someone talking about this yesterday on a different social media platform--there's a way to use your credit card points to help stock food bank pantries! The link below has a list of cards which feature this benefit, how to use the benefit, and how to add things to "Community Carts."

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

dawg they’re live laugh loving the white house. president homegoods

Alert! The e-book of THE GOOD HOUSE by @tananarivedue.bsky.social is on sale for just $1.99!

turns out you can just… *not* throw your fellow human beings under the bus?

You find that thing inside a tree, you do its bidding. Not because you want to, because the tree’s psychic powers far outstrip your own. You work for the tree, now.

Democracy made manifest! Can an officer of the law not enjoy a sandwich? A succulent Italian sandwich?

I don’t wish death on anyone but I certainly won’t mourn Dick Cheney. He was a classic example of how these mendacious “patriots” end up doing irreparable harm to the country, then spend the rest of their lives “defending their legacy” with more lies. And we buy it, again and again.

It's election day here in NYC (and other places)! If you haven't already, please go vote! And please remember to thank your poll workers! Speaking from experience, it's a long and mostly thankless day for them.

The new Godzilla film will be called Godzilla Minus Zero. Running the numbers: 1) By the additive identity property this will be a shot-for-shot remake of the original 1954 Gojira (Godzilla-0=Godzilla) 2) The inevitable sequel must be called Godzilla Plus One. (aka, Godzilla-(-1)=Godzilla+1)

I've started watching these videos on YouTube shorts--an astronomer with serious Bob Ross vibes, sharing what we can see through his backyard telescope. Just seeing the moon magnified a little, seeing Saturn and its rings or the Jovian moons, just makes me well up. www.youtube.com/channel/UCKo...

This has made a lilliputian splash but it should be Brobdingnagian

2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world. That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today. So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based. Image by HEO (from above!) 🔭🧪
