Where the hell is my chiffon?

THEY DEFORMED ME, COOP. REDUCED ME DOWN TO ONLY MY MOST RECOGNIZABLE CHARACTERISTICS. I’M A CUTESY SHELL OF MY FORMER SELF. THE BOYS AT QUANTICO ARE CALLING ME A “CHEE-BEE.” I’M SEVEN CENTIMETERS TALL, COOP. 150 GRAMS OF VINYL PLASTIC.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation. i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

why was this published 15 minutes ago, per their rss feed, after the existing team was locked out without any of this professed transparency apparently being deployed rubycentral.org/news/strengt...

The idea that the combined MMR is dangerous but separately the vaccines are fine was created out of whole cloth by Andrew Wakefield, a disgraced former doctor who had a patent on a non-combined version of the MMR. We've known his research was bunk for almost 30 years.

Ladies, not sure if an actual life hack or not, but I've never been street harassed walking around holding a hammer.

Myself, my partner, and the cat all get meds delivered now. The whole fam beholden to modern science.

LINK ROT: 38% webpages that existed in 2013 were no longer available 10 years later. Even among pages that existed in 2021, 22% no longer accessible just two years later. This is often because individual page was deleted or removed on otherwise functional website. Many implications for knowledge 🧪

I think about this almost daily.

Trying to think of the last thing I got really upset about that was really small beans, and it was that in this fantasy book I was reading all of the different countries were named after gems and I was like how would that even happen? IT MADE NO SENSE

In 1987, there were 27 California Condors in the world, all captive. In 2024, there were 566. 369 of them fly free. We did that. We fixed it. more here: aetherograph.tumblr.com/post/7871117...

Given the recent news of the cancellation of The Residence I'm going to go with The Residence as I absolutely _adored_ season 1 and thought that they could do something awesome with season 2. It was really witty and fun.

Hey so spooky season is coming up and one of my all time favorite books about hauntings is Ghostland by Colin Dickey. If you want a book that's going to claim it's all true and ghosts are definitely real it's likely not for you, but if want a book that talks from a folklore perspective it's fun.
