Dead Note but for stuff you don’t want to do.

US population (including newborns): 343,036,609 according to US Census estimate tracker. 135 billion/US population = average of 393.5 lbs lost for every living resident. I know trump doesn’t get math but you’re on TV, man.

Sometimes when the urologist asks for the table to raise up 6 inches but stops me before I stop the table, I tell them we disagree on what 6 inches is.

Add “extensive experience with weapons of mass destruction” to my CV. If you care about an unregulated drug market cutting items to make a profit, then work upstream. Fund addiction resources and fentanyl test strips. Shrink the demand and sales will slow. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

NEW: For more than a century, a smelter spewed lead dust over Omaha. For decades, the government cleaned it up. But a shift in guidance from the Trump administration may stop thousands more from potential cleanup, exposing families to the harmful metal. With @flatwaterfreep.bsky.social

Old Hickory also runs the x-ray they store at the Texaco station. You can’t be a one trick pony in rural America.

Oh you have a bidet? Cute. *slaps glass* This baby can rinse off so many poos.

Damn. They better not delete my meta-island. I spent 87 crypto coins and traded my ape.jpg so I could play Rust.

A reminder that earlier this year they fired a whole bunch of military lawyers, people who had the job of advising on the legality of military operations. apnews.com/article/pent... thehill.com/policy/defen...

BIG BUS GOT STUCK

Hot take: airport attire evolved to the changing airport. TSA pat downs, removing shoes, cramped seats, waiting hours because of a delayed flight…these conditions favor the sweatpants & running shoes. Athletic/leisure wear was the natural progression with the changing environment.

So we can no longer trust guidance on disease control & prevention at the…*checks notes*…Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Noted. Probably not a big deal. Surely won’t impact how hospitals & the public talk about disease spread. We’re fine, we’re all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

“Target said it will cut prices on thousands of food, beverage and other essential items in attempts to revive sales” I didn’t stop shopping at target because of the prices.

This morning I helped take apart a cabinet to un-jam a drawer for a pregnant colleague. Probably the manliest thing I’ll do all day. Please clap.

They are so close to understanding universal healthcare, something that has become standard in wealthy nations.

FYI to those that don’t know, v-fib is something that is lethal if goes on more than a few seconds. It’s not like gout or psoriasis where you have “flare ups.” Your heart is literally not beating right.

The older I get, the less I’ve cared about a future hypothetical child excelling at a specific class. What I’ve valued is the ability to ace rainbow road without falling off the edge.

Other computer games: On difficult mode we’ll make the enemies have more hp, deal more damage, and add other buffs. Good luck! Computer Chess: I’VE BEEN TOYING WITH YOU, CHILD. TO INCREASE THE DIFFICULTY IS TO BRING YOU CLOSER TO MY UNBRIDLED BASE POTENTIAL.

For the record, this doesn’t make sense. If you want to avoid paying a middle man who inflates prices you have to get universal healthcare. The reason we haven’t seen a viable alternative since the ACA is that there is no non-socialist way to both keep prices down & avoid a gouging middle man.

Aphantasia is something I discuss with my psychedelic-assisted therapy clients. Many ask if they’ll see visuals & I ask how well they can visualize an apple. Anecdotally, this feels like a good correlation. If they can’t visualize well, their sessions may feel like emotions in a swirl of darkness.

I’m so happy for this spam call, I hope they have a great day too.

Help me finish it. A sequel to “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” except the villain isn’t a ‘toon stealing and destroying Toontown to get rich off of highway development, it’s an animated LLM stealing and destroying Toontown to get rich off ________.

Tickets to the FIFA women’s World Cup in Aus/NZ started at $30 US, and the stadiums were packed with the kind of fans you wanted to be seated next to.

“So to encourage the youth to get freaky, we’ve suggested they bathe in beef tallow. Then, get a divining rod and use it to strike oil on their acreage so they can retire and stop being on welfare.” -rfk, probably

Everyone who studies research methods just had an aneurysm

What blows my mind about whales is to keep in mind that this is a naked mammal. A mammal with lungs swam down into the dark depths of the ocean and pulled out a rare squid simply by using echolocation.

Answer: No. you can’t have reliable testing when you’re adding in new variables all the time. Dude is just getting his kicks by cosplaying as a lab rat. No shame there, go off Nicodemus.

Armchair take: This is often learned from an emotionally repressed childhood. If you’re raised that showing emotion in certain ways means you lost the argument, you begin to put style over substance. His substance was vile. Just because he wore a collared shirt & shook hands doesn’t mean he’s civil.

BIG BOAT STUCK

They did surgery on a grape

Actually really good advice. I do this on my long (12hr+) shifts and it is a game changer.

Fun fact: I’ve done anesthesia in Palm Beach! Also Fun Fact: I never knowingly met someone who knew Jeffrey Epstein.

I prefer to read this as if the sharks are somehow picking up on basketball.

Appeal to authority is a fallacy but in a society you have to trust experts a decent amount. I drive over bridges, ride airplanes, and walk into elevators without knowing how to inspect them. There is too much knowledge out there and trust in our institutions and science is critical.

Back in the day, I’d get a wrong # text & would reply to make sure they know. Now that I get an AI scam almost every day, I don’t respond to anyone that isn’t in my contacts or states how they know me. Feels like I’m becoming a little tech hermit hiding from scavengers on the interwebs.

Friendly reminder that “trumps desired language on men and women” is that men don’t exist. That EO literally wrote men out of existence b/c they have no clue what they’re talking about.

Pretty sure this was a central plot point in the 2002 movie The Time Machine (spoiler, the moon blew up).

Can’t we just fire the dude with the price tag printer?

Never a bad thing to share, as friends/strangers are often the true first responders. Long story short, if the person is anxious and hyperventilating, it is not from an opioid. Look for shallow and slow breathing, constricted pupils, and a slow/altered mental state.

Once heard the perspective from a vet that if the military didn’t have the ability to give people socialism that the people couldn’t get, there wouldn’t be new recruits.

Hello, I’m anesthesia in a film. I rest a mask on a patient’s face while the surgeon calls out for drugs & you hear a bunch of monitors beeps. At some point the patient will code & the surgeon will use the defibrillator paddles for asystole. It works & the patient will open their eyes & thank them.

He finishes w/ “it doesn’t sound nice.” Yep, no shit. Sweeping people away from you doesn’t fix it, in fact you just made life even harder for them. It’s tough to explain why “covering up a problem isn’t fixing it” to a guy with a combover, spray painted face, & a litany of sexual assault claims.

2 years later: “EPA and National Park Service announce clearance for new Meta-owned company coal town in Appalachia for AI data center.”

Pirates are purely anti-authoritarian market opportunists, whereas as ninjas are often skilled assassins for hire to highest bidder, often feudal lords. In this essay I will…

Finding a way to kill this app is the closest we can get to the age-old time travel quest.

Saw this guy on Twitter, 100% thought it was a parody account. Still not fully convinced it isn’t.

I’m watching the Netflix doc on Woodstock ‘99 & it’s pretty nuts to watch the ignorance play out. Corporate bros tried to exploit young, angsty people in a hot, low amenity military hanger & were surprised they burnt it to the ground. Just a perfect flashback to toxic parts of the 90s.

Do you think kaiju get imposter syndrome? Going through the motions of toppling buildings but needing the validation of seeing a mech warrior come out to take them down.
