On the difference between a pedophile, hebephile & ephebophile: "... it's very hard to explain the difference without sounding like a pedophile." Yup. Me, I'll take "Things I wish I hadn't learned for $1000, Alex."

<sigh> Whole lotta people out there who still seem to think they can rules-lawyer their way out of creepy. I liked it better when we were talking about the Burgess Shale.

in tribute to @charliebrowntc.bsky.social , a king among cats, let us have a thread of Great Departed Cats, to show the angels that are now greeting him. this is my baby Fez, who left us in 2022. one time some butter fell off the counter onto his side and Sandal chased him for like twenty minutes.

don’t you worry, my great grandpa didn’t allegedly disappear pinkertons during the great depression for me to be a bootlicker. all power to all the people

i think everyone should watch harlan county, USA

Happy holidays!

When Covid caused NYC offices to hollow out what they found was that yeah the core business districts suffered but the neighborhoods where people actually live, thrived. All WFH means is rethinking business districts, not cities.

Oh for sure man.

My mind struggled with the fact that Colm Meaney is 72 years old. He played Chief Miles O'Brien on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. And was recognized as "The Most Important Person in Starfleet History" according to Star Trek: Lower Decks.

most on the nose “he’s on a mission from god” reference in recorded history

Keep posting sky pictures, I like being reminded that we're all piles of carbon screaming through space on a rock and we're all just hanging on and hoping for the best.

hi, are you doomscrolling? Try not to stay up too late tonight.

People who make primary source documents easily accessible to the public are the best Thank you @paulgp.com

What if instead of Cyber Monday (aka Daddy Bezos Day), we did a Support Indie Media Monday? What are your favorite indie publications? Who are some of your favorite freelance and indie reporters and commentators? Can we make this a thing?

Let me show you the difference between a $40 hoodie and a ~$100 hoodie. 🧵

Real estate developers need to be more discerning about who they throw boatloads of money at

This is what I taught myself how to do a few months after I got an iPhone and it fell out of my girly-pockets one too many times. You will need: 1: a washable yarn, decently sturdy. 2: a crochet hook suitable to the chosen yarn. 3: ideally, beads or a button. Or make the cover-flap really long.

we need a department of kerning

If all the aurora photos are giving you unbearable FOMO, it may please you to know that there’s a possibility for more lights tonight (Wed. 12 Nov), possibly right after sunset in North America. We’ll see how this next CME (coronal mass ejection) impact plays out!

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load. So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

IQ is a eugenicist concept. Larry Summers is eugenicist. That's why I'm not at all surprised he was also pals with eugenicist child trafficker Epstein. If you think men are superior to women, then it's a short skip to "women and girls exist only for men's pleasure"

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

For all the cunts who compain that there ARE TOO MANY POC in "historical european games". That's just Fash.

#aurora from my deck. So cool!

I like that on social media we all pause and look at the sky and share what we see and it's good. It's good.

Submit them to Aurorasaurus!!! They're an NSF funded project out of University of New Mexico that takes crowdsourced aurora observations for research purposes: www.aurorasaurus.org

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event. Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

You might have imagined the menswear guy to be heavily into kerning (style, detail, history…), but not, it appears. Or rather, he is now. Expect posts on tailor’s shop signs, labels etc…

Aurora in the woods!

You really REALLY don't want your baby to eat botulinum toxin.

Not be a joiner, but look at it! So cool.

Just a few more from the backyard before it ends…🥹

My god.

Still pretty.

When in doubt, sit on it. Advice for many situations. #NHLJets

Guy seething with jealousy: Well, I think the normal sky is already pretty cool

i didn't see the aurora but I SAW ITS SOURCE

Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

The sky said trans rights

Weird that we have a planet-wide magnetic defense system that self activates when the sun decides to attack but it is very pretty

A few more photos from tonight’s incredible #aurora. I’m fascinated by the amount of red light tonight. This is generated by oxygen molecules being excited by light plasma at least 600 km above the Earth. The green is also oxygen molecules, but much lower (100-250km). Definitely a great night.
