i saw 55000 which like oh wow big number but also is it big in the context of the super bowl? turns out: NO!

I feel like one's tortellini limit should be increased during difficult times

Many, many tabs please

when they're dry goods in your pantry, it's legumescrolling.

when they’re all bangers it’s boomscrolling

right! like there's this internalization of "this is how we speak about art" and it's informative but not always useful. I just want to know if it's a time travel romance.

upped my sustaining membership because radio is one of the last things that allows for the joy of random discovery, plus I love XPN so so much

the louvre jewel heist is my new suez canal

I have also learned: -it's fine to have haters -it's more important to focus on the reward of doing something more than the logistics and challenges -long-term change comes from persistent effort and being okay with sucking at something -people with ADHD struggle with consistency but need routine

It's fun/excruciating to decide on Top 10 covers of all time lol xpn.org/vote-for-the... 1. Cowboy Take Me Away - boygenius 2. Ev'ry Time We Say Goodbye - Ella Fitzgerald 3. You'll Never Walk Alone - Penny & Sparrow 4. Dancing in the Dark - Lucy Dacus 5. Murdered in the City - Brandi Carlile

I bet a bunch of you nerds are going to want to read this meditation on memory, identity, family legacy, and <checks notes> art heists

Oh wow. I'm one of today's lucky 10,000 learners. #xpncountdown

I co-wrote the Leverage RPG specifically so you can do this stuff at a moment’s notice folks

First time at the Philly Zoo this weekend and I saw a tiger walk right above me, cool beyond words.

Cafe host Raina Douris @rahrahraina.bsky.social chatted with historian Dorothy Williams about the history and impact of Montreal's jazz scene for our Sense of Place: Montreal series. www.npr.org/2025/10/17/n...

I haven’t always lived here, but I’ve always loved this place because of the people. The corruption poisoning the political processes in this state have caused us to be represented by figures who have never behaved or governed like the people I know. But that can change. It has before. It will again

Small correction: The Exponent *offered* to print the banned issue, but the IDS students were afraid that would get them punished/sanctioned. So instead, the issue that The Exponent printed and delivered is a new, special solidarity issue co-written by students from both presses!

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Okay, what do I need to do to get Jet Lag the Game to release Amy's newest puzzle box for the public? I wanna do the crossword in there.

Absolutely incredible work here from @hankgreen.bsky.social:

It's literally only when people make posts like this that I remember the library will (probably) give you access, assuming it's not a niche publication. When I actually am like "I only want to read this one article but it's paywalled!" it doesn't even occur to me 😅

loving Jet Lag: Hide and Seek. Esp the podcast where Adam floats the theory that Ben found a pocket dimension, and that's why Adam and Sam didn't find him for a [redacted but it had me hooting and hollering with laughter] amount of time. I mean, that does sound like something Ben would do.

Got my older sister and her husband to start watching JLTG Switzerland this weekend - they finished yesterday and went on to New York unprompted 🥂 There's no better trophy in the worlddd

I think I can't share the Small Potato Rock video because it's YouTube Kids? But yeah if you need a jingle to get through today, 🥔 here it is youtu.be/plfmSTD2huQ?... dftba

through bribes and lobbying along with the cost of materials and exorbitantly compensated labor I would ensure that every building higher than like six stories was pink. it would improve both the skyline postcard industry and also our masculinity crisis. make the C-suite’s whole world Barbie colored

Getting COVID 5 times doesn’t make you “stronger.” The immune system isn’t a muscle—repeated infections can cause cumulative damage and raise long-term risks. Protect your immune system by avoiding repeat infections: clean air, masks, vaccination. Source: x.com/Engineer_Won...

Everyone, the days of NOT CREDITING photojournalists and video journalists are OVER. You MUST CREDIT photographers and videographers who are risking bodies and lives. Also very important, we can't verify without knowing sources. No one is being singled out. But from now on, you will be CALLED OUT.

Pay people you like on the internet folks, it’s going to be rough out there

HEY! On Thursday (10/16) I am giving a talk at Auburn about how we depict and talk about worlds in tabletop and miniature games. It's about granularity and how fiddly we get about the worlds we make. It's at 4pm and it's free and the info can be found at this link cla.auburn.edu/cah/events/?...
