Yeah. We are going to need more of The Muppet Show revival.

The announcement!

I'm so excited for this!

The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

In my ongoing attempts to give you a break from *gestures widely* THE HORRORS: Let's talk about the utterly bizarre science of cats' purring. Here's a weird starting point: There are NO cats (Felidae) that can BOTH roar AND purr. Cats that roar = genus Panthera Cats that purr = genus Felis

This is the kind of information I like to start the week with.

It’s AGDQ time! One of the best weeks of the year!

Christmas Eve tradition!

One of the great Christmas questions answered!

Playing junior developer telephone is not as fun as the party game.

To describe the current state of the world as a daily show of deepening horrors is a massive understatement. However, I read something today that I think more people should see and read. I hope she doesn't mind my me sharing it here. I'd rather be an X-Men by @gailsimone.bsky.social

This is so true

Leftists should defend John Bolton for same reason we tell cultural conservatives to defend trans kids: if you don't take a stand defending the unpopular from oppression, a dictator soon moves on to everyone else.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

So I'm trying to qualify for the Fresh Faces 3 KH2 Rando charity tournament this weekend. Not sure what that is? Roro (the organizer of the tournament) has you covered! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_6N....

Made it 5 years, but now I've got Covid.

Wonderful things still happen in this world.

Today’s celebration.

Sharing so you can block it

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

This is amazing footage!

Confession: I really hate the “no, we should deport <other side>” posts.

READ. THE. SUBHEAD.

Every study about vaccines that comes out is like "this vaccine is 97% effective at preventing this disease & also 3 other diseases & it somehow helps you play the violin beautifully" and antivaxxers are doing their own research that's telling them they can cure measles by eating polar bear liver.

Please ignore tired pieces in publications like the Atlantic that are still trying to stigmatize mask wearing. Wearing a mask to prevent sickness from airborne viruses is a science-informed position, and it has been that way for over 100 years.

Because I'm a complete goddamn nerd, I'd like to explain to folks (particularly Liberals) what a feint is, in sword fighting. People think it means "a fake attack." It doesn't.

I hate it when the dustbin of history and the recycling get all mixed up.

A simple sandwich bread this weekend.

This was also my first thought when I heard about this.

From Teen Vogue: How Trans Kids Can Protect Themselves Now That Trump Is in Office. “Despite what can seem like a deluge of anti-trans bills, policies, and language, there are a lot of people on your side, fighting for trans rights.” [teenvogue.com]

It has been one week. Don’t give up!

This weekend’s bake is Basque Cheesecake.

@kaine.senate.gov I’m disappointed to learn one of my senators voted to confirm Kristi Noem to lead DHS.

#YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan is the real deal. Each episode really feels like actual comics being brought to life. It’s a fun and engaging new take on the classic character. This is another win for Marvel animation.

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

I had never seen this and I’m so gald I have now!
