See, skeets like these are what the alf hogged for.

The GF and I watched the One Direction Where We Are live show last night. My key learning from this is that Louis Tomlinson circa 2013-2014 really loved punching his fellow band members right in the balls.

Lab markers too. It's essential to keep a pair handy at all times - normal Sharpie for writing on sample boxes and conical tubes, and The Good Marker that's fine-tipped, cold-proof, and solvent-resistant for writing tiny labels on micro centrifuge tubes. Nobody touches The Good Marker but me.

This is my first time hearing about a second part to that credo, TBQH. Not sure most tech disruptors know about it either from what I've seen

I assume this is what @swampvids.bsky.social does in their free time

Sleg, 2026. I was being clever and made it a right leg as a nod to gastropod dextral chirality, then realized that if I was doing the torsion correctly it would be a left leg. Oops

Boba tea implies the existence of kiki tea, a milky sweet drink with sharp rock candy crystals on the bottom

We already KNOW how to make super babies, you eugenicist creeps! And it's all the things you fucking fucks are fucking up! THREAD!

Of course I see this and think "F yeah, Massachusetts"

"You cease, I fire"

Mmmm, fish crust

In the Mario universe are positrons called walectrons

Went to a friend's house party yesterday with a bunch of poly/kinky/neurospicy guests, and the subject of neurodivergence came up as it inevitably does at these sorts of things. One woman there declared that neurodivergent communities are better because neurotypicals are just boring. About that...

Ok if you want to make this fucking dot go away you have to enter this menu and then physically click Go Live even if you don’t currently intend to and never fucking intend to Go Live

I'm afraid morale has not improved. I'm sure advanced Large Beating Models will be deployed by senior management soon.

The Seatbelts will be playing at Anime Boston this year. I might have to pop my convention cherry to see them.

Okay this is pretty fun dialed.gg

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Today in "stupid thoughts courtesy of my brain": Trilobites would make great slippers.

Fry: And then when I feel so stuffed I can't eat any more, I just use the restroom and then I can eat more. Lucy Liu-bot: You should write a book, Fry. People need to know about the-- CAN EAT MORE.

This is a delight to both read and watch. The cow tools content we need in these trying times

Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

You will be visited by three spirits.

Hey winter cyclists: the smartest thing I've done after threatening to do it for too many years was actually write down what to wear based on temperature. This helped immensely last year, and winter is coming 🥶

KPOP Demon Hunters is a movie about the importance of effective public health communication in this essay I will...

Something lovely to start the week! 🐙🏺❤️ Ancient clay pots with octopus decoration, made by artisans from Bronze Age Crete some 3,500 years ago! Heraklion Archaeological Museum 📷 by me #Archaeology

Heat pumps are sorcery from some dark warlock's pact and you cannot convince me otherwise

"Somehow, James Bond returned" seems easy enough to me! Worked for Star Wars re: Palpatine, no reason why it won't work here.

hahaha, whoops Actually though, weightlifting is great for basically everyone and the benefits far outweigh the risks. Highly recommend, just don't make it an ego thing.

Life is pain.

Some adventurous souls are already doing 1-day rides along the full length of it bsky.app/profile/nota...

a film you've seen more than seven times with a gif

It’s Halloween in the swamp, which is a time to remember all the bodies that are buried in the woods. Abandoned cemeteries are certainly on the “hiking in New England” bingo card. Did people used to just bury their dead in the middle of the woods? Sort of… ⬇️ #history #halloween #curious #newengland

"Vagina-compatible bullets" is my new favorite phrase.

If BttF ever did a remake (and they won't, the rights are exclusively held by the director who is Done with the franchise), it would have a Cybertruck time machine.

Now this is cool: a "House of Hades" piece of street art, right at South Station! These are made from colored linoleum pieces and asphalt sealer; they appear solid black at first until the car tires rub away enough of the sealer to reveal the piece. City erosion becomes art. #HouseofHades #Boston

some guy: bluesky is dying it is a hell hole some other guy: this site, bluesky, is eating itself alive yet another guy: this site will be dead by october me: here's a cool duck riding in a roller skate

"Will we be charging you an additional $5 per month to use this feature? Of course not. If you read our newsletter you would have seen it's $10"

Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

Spotted this in a local free things Facebook group. My delight at seeing the arrows is perfectly balanced by my disgust at the text. Why is the yellow axis labeled with green text? Why is the red axis text colored yellow, and why doesn't it use a double quote? Why is the green axis label BLUE??

Asbestos, lead paint and leaded fuel, radium watches, etc etc etc.

This is how I flirt

Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

It's 40 years since Kate Bush first ran up that road, ran up that hill and ran up that building and 20 years since I made this ̶d̶e̶a̶l̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶g̶o̶d̶ gif.
