The CBC made this clever & cute video that uses kids to explain the rules of curling:

Rich people think they live in a higher tier of society full of better and more brilliant people, but it’s actually just the same society except the people have more money to waste and lose. So much of what they do is just wealth-induced hallucination

Let’s see if this works. 🎁🔗 www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...

Last month, I wanted to do a California public records search to see what my property title records said. The California state website redirected me to publicrecords.us and that website set up a recurring weekly $5 charge for no reason. Just a heads up lest anyone else fall for this scam.

More McIver (D-NJ) to ICE chief at today's hearing: -"How do you think Judgment Day will work for you, with so much blood on your hands?" -"Do you think you're going to hell, Mr. Lyons?" -"How many government agencies are you aware of that routinely kill American citizens and still get funding?"

Some executive at #$CPB approved this product name. No shade, but some eyebrow.

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.

$1.65M per day in DC alone. That’s approximately two NIH R01 Grant *years* burned per day. Ninety *five year* R01s projects burned in the last seven months with no end in sight. Instead of lasting scientific advance we get….what? Civil rights violations and authoritarian replacement of democracy.

Agree. But also, there’s only 3/5 parts released so far, so I’m looking forward (?) to the rest of it.

I feel like a lot of people are probably saying “oh, yeah, ‘war is peace’, I get that now” instead of just wtf is this 1984 bs that they havent thought about since high school english class.

Warren Buffett, I think, attributed the saying to Ben Graham: “it’s only when the tide goes out that you discover who’s been swimming naked”. My question to Warren is, is the tide supposed to go out that far?

Holy shit. Bugonia was quite the ride.

Minus: I’m not swole, so sifting ~8 gal of mixed soil and aggregate is the best I can do today.

Jesus, walking out of the temple: “Render unto Nobel” {dons sunglasses as temple detonates behind him}

The thing is that we should just not be doing extrajudicial killings, regardless

Just finished watching the documentary, “Bombshell” - www.pbs.org/wgbh/america... 🧵/spoilers

He…did…what…now?

Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden. Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

seasons greetings.

I think the iconoclasts might have been right all along: don’t put anybody’s name or face on anything. #fucktrump #fuckJFKtoo

I’m not sure why this doughnut hole isn’t more newsworthy. I’m just (at 56) discovering how exponential non-employer-group-insurance coverage goes between ~50 and 65. Isn’t the ACA supposed to be a form of group coverage?

Solvang hack unlocked: grab a slice of Sicilian Pizza at Stica in Santa Ynez before trying to surmount the traffic jam into Solvang. Especially before the Jule Parade. 👍🏼

If you see this, quote with your model of masculinity

I’m pretty good at making my own homebrew masala chai, but I’m also open to shortcut hacks. Halfway between chai and earl grey, this is a good alternative:

I don’t necessarily disagree with @captmarkkelly.bsky.social on this point, but I don’t think Trump cares if you’re green as Gazoo if your rich, powerful, “a winner”, or “high IQ”. I think a more apt synonym for 3rd world is “poor”.

Did I just see an elderly woman dutifully scan all her items into the self checkout and walk out without completing payment? No I didn’t, and neither did you.

“Palpatine and Anakin are Dead” (To be fair, I had no idea he was involved in the screenplay for Brazil, or any of dozens of other credits, because I am an illiterate cretin)

Idk but it works wonders when you’re awake.

Fun bonus fact: magical thinking about science and sexuality is actually the number one underlying cause of huge problems in most people’s lives 🤗 #SexWorkIsWork #DecrimNow #GetTested

I’m the monster at the end of this book. (1/2)

Customer: “I completed the order but missed adding two things. How do I add them?” Me: “if you completed the order, short answer is, there’s nothing we can do” Customer: “ok… what’s the long answer?”

Altman: I’ve lost an electron here somewhere. Interviewer: are you sure? Altman: I’m positive.

Cultural footnote: I grew up in a time where it was unacceptable for men to hit women but not vice versa. It’s never ok to use violence. But deep in my mind, the only correct response to what Trump did comes from the Muppet Show: hiii-yahhh. youtu.be/u4TFedidkpk?...

I enjoyed this video, despite its pretty minor mistakes, but man, the pace is just way too fast to absorb. That said, I’m happy to see a science video not just steal an existing script: hers is a genuinely new presentation of the concepts. youtu.be/BUV8XYaZ4EU?...

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

I tried subtly asking my father in law, to no avail, if living through watergate and all was like this. Because all this *points around* seems just full blast bananapants.

The greatest mistake the Muppets ever made was making the Chef Swedish

Jokes aside, I really enjoyed death by lightning.

The “christian nation” folks thinking is defective, there never has been “one” path to righteousness and it’s not as simple as being a jesus believer. 🧵
