Apologies to John Cena, but I'm making my feelings known right now:

A while back people were joking that social media popsci had basically reinvented four-humors theory but with dopamine, serotonin, cortisol, and adrenaline.

Fact check: true

Greg Pak and David Cousens are the new team on Dynamite's ThunderCats, which will relaunch with a new, number one issue.

you know in the age of gen ai i think we owe the horse e_books people an apology. everyone was so disappointed it wasn't really a robot, and now it’s like, yes! people made that! art!

a year in which multiple religious organizations have put out statements that are more supportive of the rights of immigrants and lgbtq folks than the sentiments contained in your average media opinion piece

“1Password for Claude” let havoc reign

there is more to media criticism than "this statement is accurate but i would have preferred if you said this in terms i find more effective at representing my worldview / priorities" and yet

“journalism” in bio, yet doesn’t link to article when posting screenshots on main

Brennan Lee Mulligan (Critical Role, Dimension 20) is campaigning for the Democratic Socialists of America in Los Angeles. Interesting, if you are the type of weirdo who knows what all of these things are. www.youtube.com/shorts/F95nE...

adding “World Cup final being subjected to a half-time show” to my list of things that are not helping my blood pressure in the slightest

On a sidenote: If I was to *regionally* define the Second World War, I'd run the Caribbean War from 1935 (Ethiopia) to 1948 (Montego Bay) or even 1953 (Suspension of the British Guyanese Constitution)

People who deny the existence of dragons are often eaten by dragons. From within.

10 hours into a 15 hour flight is when I really do want to high-five everyone on the team that invented actually-effective noise-cancelling headphones

already unfollow / mute / block folks who post outrage-bait screenshots of news articles with no attribution but given the unceasing proliferation of folks who repost them might have to get even more mercenary

While I appreciate journalists' giving space to criticize incidents of racism, I wish they didn't just ask questions to the ppl who were the targets of racism. Ask Messi about the racist behavior of Argentine fans. Does he approve of fans' monkey gestures or the vice-president's comments? Ask him!

Have been making appropriate adaptations. The cilantro thing is particularly tough on my household.

buying TTRPGs and playing TTRPGs are different and arguably unrelated hobbies.

A film by Tony Gilroy about Pedro Pascale as a cello player? Sign me up!

Tweet so good I printed it out and put it on my wall. I referred to it in a conference talk today @hypervisible.blacksky.app

Another week of blistering heat will bring even more health risks in the coming days. The National Weather Service is predicting that more than 90 temperature records across the U.S. will be tied or broken this week through Wednesday.

10/10 for historical and historic haters

“The project offers a stark reminder of how scientific institutions are often the first victims of dictatorships: ‘We must be aware of what these totalitarian processes entail, and that no society is safe from the possibility of these things happening.’” www.science.org/content/arti...

“This will make you lose your mind” - screenshot, no link, no attribution -> time grifter behaviour.

Ouch. Check your repo admin users are up to date and you've culled folks who no longer need it. forum.openmandriva.org/t/statement-...

Wolfing down huge amounts of bewildering information couched in unfamiliar terms for which you put together the meaning as you go along--mate, that's literally what childhood IS.

One of the best new devices in OB/GYN, the JADA — which saved my wife from a scary post-partum bleed this spring — was developed *as a senior thesis* in 2011 by two ugrads in biomedical engineering at Cal Poly That‘s how much underinvestment there’s been, a senior thesis could disrupt it that much

PAPERBACK LAUNCH INFO: I've enlisted 2 friends, both sensational journalists, who had books come out around the same time as mine. Can't wait to talk to them about what the world is like a year later. ❤️‍🔥 @greenwell.bsky.social @amandahess.bsky.social www.strandbooks.com/maris-kreizm...

Helen of Sold Out Shows is more like it.

A direct result of this thread (well worth reading) is learning of the existence of bringbackdoors.com , a website dedicated to whether the hotel has real bathroom doors.

No one doing more consistently unhinged work than the folks who design hotel showers. Containing the water to the shower itself? The lowest priority, have a half wall. The tile? The slipperiest imaginable, and just no regard for those who might have to shave their legs. Bunch of maniacs.

Strongly recommend watching the whole thing youtu.be/WrW0kySM6CE?...

In retrospect we can see that BuzzFeed slowly compressing a watermelon until it exploded was a Beatles-on-Ed-Sullivan moment for an entire generation of livestreamers who, instead of buying guitars to be the next Beatles, nihilistically tortured themselves to be the watermelon.
