You are correct and it’s because pasta shouldn’t have joins, it makes the shapes cook unevenly

The issue seems to me that Ds want to regulate things like energy use and safety protocols while Rs want to make it mandatory for AI to only produce white Santas

my PhD advisor told me "always yield right of way to the person entering the restroom" and I still think about this a lot

now if you would like those things... consider facilitating emotional hygiene that produces you as a viable intimate partner ... Do the work that makes partnership possible

women do not "owe" men love... we are not owed partnership... we are not owed sex we are simply not "owed"

do you get to join Harvard IOP when the place you left in disgrace was Harvard

This is the ideal travel attire. You may not like it, but this is what peak passenger looks like.

I've had to fly in a suit for business and it sucks - people should be comfortable on airplanes - not like, putting their bare feet all over everything comfortable, but sweatpants comfortable if that's what they want.

"Look we've really stretched the air safety system to the breaking point so if you're going to get on a plane you should dress in the suit you want to be buried in."

It’s just really depressing every day to think “these dudes really REALLY hate women”

I’m sorry that I don’t have anything intelligent to say right now because I am so fucking angry www.newsweek.com/nursing-not-...

it just seems plainly clear to me that if you serve the country in any capacity, civil or military, and you are not a conservative white man, the Trump administration wants to make the workplace as hostile an environment as possible so you remove yourself

undergrad asked me quite reasonably last week "why don't you buy another copy of the book"

“Given the scale of Epstein’s trafficking operation, it’s clear that many more powerful people were involved. My staff have seen a paper trail with their own eyes. Banks that helped enable him should be investigated." trib.al/fDV5onk

Scientists tell Americans not to trust the CDC. Instead of a global leader in science, the CDC has devolved into “a propaganda machine for RFK Jr.'s fixed, immutable, science-resistant theories,” said @pauloffit.bsky.social. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Get your flu shots people. Last year was the worst flu season in 10 years and don't love even a small regional slice like this looking much worse already. For reference national data for last season: bsky.app/profile/pear...

I posted a couple of replies in a thread earlier tonight about who will be the GOP nominee in 2028 and the thing is I just can't look that far out at all. I think the level of uncertainty in US politics is incredibly high because of Trump's age and health.

The President of the United States just called for my arrest and execution. In these moments, fear is contagious, but so is courage:

* LEAVITT: HENRY II DOES NOT WANT TO EXECUTE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY

It's wildly inappropriate to remind people that they have taken a Constitutional oath to follow the law? The party of law and order, boy, I don't know... www.politico.com/live-updates...

This article is so infuriating. I'm so tired of conservatives who see the actual impact of fascist policies and instead of reexamining whether the policies themselves are wrong, instead just want exceptions for the people they know.

An excellent point. For all the journalists who were so concerned about who was running the show in the Biden White House, it seems more than fair to ask those same questions about Trump!

*lots of girls, boys and non-binary people too

Quick reminder that it was Me Too because ever woman* has stories about men being creepy or worse

This is the thing. We can look at him saying this thing and say “oh he says shit like that all the time and nobody is going to act on it so it’s not a big deal” and that pose in itself is a big deal because it reflects that we have become inured to this, and that his underlings routinely ignore him!

Nice for them to say clearly that holding people accountable for their actions is some sort of “HR witch hunt”. So many people coming right out and saying what they mean these days.

Bezos allegedly wanted the editorial side of the paper to focus on - what was it? - free markets and individual liberties or somesuch and I guess by "individual liberties" he meant "men's freedom to harass women and denigrate their intellect."

Someone I respect is currently taking the time to dissect a terrible David Leonhardt piece and I'd honestly forgotten about Leonhardt and how much he sucks and it's amazing just how many of these asshats the NYT has managed to accumulate.

"Democrats should find a reasonable compromise. Perhaps, each Democratic member of the House should lose their left hand and each Democratic member of the Senate should lose their right hand."

I occasionally hear from people that Isgur is worth reading and listening to. I do not see it at all. she is a campaign operative for a conservative movement that no longer holds power.

Any President who calls for the opposition party to be hanged should be immediately impeached and removed from office.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

It is also fine to divide Confederacy-worshipping traitors out of the military, too, and anyone with a fucking noose tattoo, FFS. I am, in fact very proud of being "divisive" about those folks!

It's fine to be divisive about Nazis. Nazis should, in fact, be divided right out of the military.

A brief rant about something that isn't politics: thermometers. Specifically the ones you use when you're sick. I own probably three similar digital thermometers - the cheap kind that are blue and white and have a kind of flexible tip. At least one of them tells me my baseline temp is 95F.

I’m just going to keep posting some version of this photo over and over again as long as Charlie keeps hanging out on my desk.

Huh funny how Johnson can comment on things he wants to comment on though I think he missed a rather important "illegal" in between "following" and "orders"

I appreciate both the specificity and broadness of this sign

The new Turing test is whether a machine can show more empathy than the average husband

On the brighter side

Also completely fine to just straight-up ignore strangers when you feel like it. I had a post make numbers yesterday and I just muted all notifications. Sorry if I missed you but it was getting weird.

The Epstein Story does smell like Russiagate! (An actual international criminal conspiracy that Donald Trump participated in and faced no legal repercussions because he has been effectively granted complete political immunity by the cult he serves as the leader of.)

EPSTEIN BOMBSHELL: my staff is releasing a new report showing JPMorgan Chase executives – all the way to the top – enabled Epstein's sex trafficking operation. You're going to want to read this.

I'm glad our little guy survived and I'm glad he will find a home where he will be well cared for but please view this as a reminder to 1. not keep exotic pets yourself and 2. not encourage others to do so. Don't follow or share social media accounts of people keeping wildlife as pets.
