AirBnB as shitty short term hotel replacement isn't great, but AirBnB as an *experience* house is fun.

Boioioioioioing

going to also give a shout-out to dv shelters, healthcare hikes and snap shutoff almost certainly means a spike in domestic violencee, they’re also hurting from lack of federal grants from the shutdown

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

One of my favorites times of the year.

The 30 Rock episode with “how do you do, fellow kids?” is closer to the release of Windows 98 than it is to today.

Unless it's FFVIII which makes the active decision to punish you for ever having the nerve to grind. (But yes. Skill or grind is a valid way to look at any leveling mechanics.)

Fwiw this is an absolutely surreal experience as a resident of flyover country. Probably a sign you people talk about NYC too much, or that I need to unfollow a lot of y'all.

No one warned me this dynamic is like a regular thing in adulthood.

Nov 7th is the birthday of both Lise Meitner & Marie Curie. Of the 13 chemical elements named directly after real people (not mythological figures) only two are named after women: meitnerium and curium (the latter of which is named in honour of both Marie & her husband) #chemsky 🧪

if our goal is to rebuild trust in public health or biomedical science as an institution, eric feigl-ding is certainly less caustic than rfk jr., but to be honest, he offers us the same zero that rfk jr. does

Burt Meyer, a Chicago toy designer behind classics like Lite-Brite, Mouse Trap, and Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, died Oct. 30 at 99, leaving a joyful, generations-spanning legacy.

Since TN has fewer than 10M people (more like 7.25M), 100K is more than 1% of the entire state population.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

Assuming this is correct, it's useful context.

My husband keeps telling me BOGO and 50% off are the same, and that's how I know he isn't the one that shops for groceries. (Because sometimes we don't have space to buy things in doubles!)

Man if I weren't online right now to see the trend trickling in on what I thought was a little personal story about my former boss, but just signed on to see that 30+ notifications thing without context, I'd be having a little panic moment lmao. Social media breaks brains.

One of the first things you should learn about safely handling an Italian is that you should *always* assume the Italian is loaded.

One of my old PIs told me how surreal it was to her that people saw Barres at a conference (after transition) and would say things like "He's such a better speaker than his sister" and just be completely oblivious.

My ask of any science enthusiasts who tell the story of Rosalind Franklin: Don't make her life be about the DNA debacle. She died far too young, but she was a promising scientist in her own right, a mentor and scientific author. Not for Watson or Crick, but for her legacy.

It is not, in fact, the opposite of the Sally Fields Oscar speech, but more the opposite of Freaks "One of us"

Oh my God, Twisted Kaiju Theater is one I've not thought about in over a decade. Thank you for getting this page in front of my eyeballs again.

In DEAD HAND RULE, a character goes to see a musical on Alt Coulumb's version of Broadway. As a musical theatre obsessive, I was extremely excited and tried to work out what Gladstone could possibly be referencing with Ocelot Rex by Rat King Productions. A thread of my thoughts (and being wrong af)

Here’s the ruling, which is a public document freely available on the internet that should take any reporter about one minute to find and share widely: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Six officers is what, like $1.5M in the city budget already?

I made a Bsky content manager site because of Requests and I wanted it. You can: • import your history • search w keywords, dates, # of likes, replies ... • find, delete, or export things individually or in bulk • download official backup (.CAR) • some basic stats :) I CANNOT RETRIEVE YOUR DATA

You play briefly as one of those women in an extended sequence to go into the twink's head to help unravel his toxic masculinity complex.

So, NIH seems to have opened some high-level, director-of-institute type positions today, with a window of only two weeks. During a shutdown. Hm.

Since we're on scientists today, Peter Duesberg is 88, gonna have to pull out the champagne when we get to that one.

oh, we need to bring this one back. we *desperately* need to bring this one back.

Someone in the chain of command misheard "We should be more like Orban's Hungary" as "We should be more like Orban - hungry"

Polar night

"She just... I don't know" 😢

Every time I remember that the Cluster of Differentiation (CD) markers have no real nomenclature beyond a numbering system that indicates historical order of discovery, and that they're somewhere in the 300s now still running with it, I get irrationally angry.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

“U.S. District Judge John McConnell accused the administration of withholding SNAP for ‘political reasons.’ “ This is an insane statement. When a judge issues a ruling, it is no longer an accusation.

Was this the best use of my time today? No. Is it the most amusing way I could have spent the last 90 minutes? Absolutely. Pattern is free here: bit.ly/4nGGCGc

Context for the fall for anyone who saw me report this yesterday. I did speak to the instructors and we still have a few weeks before costume orders go out, and I can request to be in the lower level choreo group if I so choose before then, so that's reassuring to know I have that option.

I just checked the hubs' and none are in this list. For what it's worth, don't freak out if you're on this and took some of the pills - the recall is due to bad solubility, which is just lower uptake, which just means it's less effective.

Today absolutely sucked but I did not discover any new aspects of the injury, so I should be better in another day or two. Now the anxiety of getting back on the hoop is another matter.

The double splitscreen shot from 1:13-1:42 is one of the most insane shots created during the photochemical era. You’ve got a real woman fondling Maroon and Valiant at both ends of the shot, with the woman’s body hidden by splitscreens that run along the edges of the fluted columns in the BG…

Ngl that [dramatic pause] Would be [puts on sunglasses] goated [won't be fooled again starts blaring/ puts on dark goggles on top of sunglasses]

Wonder why this scene looks so familiar... #WildlifeWednesday 🐦🐕

I love a good ABC story (Alien Big Cat, as in one out of its normal territory) and this is one of the funniest misidentifications of the bunch. Usually it's just a large housecat with misleading reference background objects.
