Absolute centrism so pure it obliterates all conscious thought.

This lady got lucky with a meteor streaking through her 20 sec exposure of northern lights on a cloudy night in upstate NY near the St. Lawrence River

This is a picture of the northern lights in Central New York recently, taken from a suburb of Syracuse. Really crazy mix of light sources.

This is one of the best news stories you will read anywhere about ICE raids and how ordinary people helped one man barely escape a one way trip to some godawful detention center. www.syracuse.com/news/2025/11...

'Featherstone' is bourgeois folderol. It's spelled 'Fetherstonhaugh,' you ignorant peasant. featherstone.university

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

I kind of hate this widely-shared chart. While our life expectancy is too low and our health expenditure is too high, they are actually not particularly connected to each other. Most of the excess mortality is caused by cars, guns, and drugs - things that health expenditure has little to do with.

I will never forget the time someone bought the domain name of Guy Fieri’s failed restaurant and posted this fever dream of a menu.

This place is getting serious. Been here since beta and my tiny follower count hasn't budged. Fine with me. More of a reader than a poster. But lately I've been getting tons of followers, so I changed my profile pic to the real me, replacing the pic of my spirit animal: 1980's-era Bryan Ferry.

Dad, 83, asked today why internet sucks so much. Backhoe blew a tire, wanted to get it fixed, did a search, got a ton of unrelated ads. What’s going on? I say dad, it’s not you, search engines suck now. He was very happy to learn that he wasn’t becoming more senile, rather the internet sucks more.
