Oh wow, did DOGE slashing the CDC have terrible consequences such as lack of preparation and understaffing to handle things like outbreaks and emergencies? You DON'T FUCKING SAY.

Every day I am radicalized further against AI. Seriously, the bubble cannot burst fast enough.

Oh I'm crying laughing reading this thread

Playoffs

The classic:

Flyers colors for the playoffs

The daffs and fritillaria have popped open. Happy spring! 🌱

I do enjoy that literally everyone is just full-on laughing at this particular turn in the story.

I've been absolutely riveted by this Artemis launch and voyage. It is so amazing, and inspiring, and wonderful.

I am living for the Alan Ritchson drama.

Oh Xander. Pieces of my childhood keep disappearing. I hope he rests in peace.

People talking about the Ready Or Not movie have gotten the Fugees song stuck in my head for DAAAYS.

I'm curious about that Louis Theroux documentary, but I fear watching it might put me into a permanent system shutdown state.

I genuinely think of this quote at least twice a week, in the now-times.

Happy International Women’s Day

tapping the sign yet again:

Ah the first blush of spring, when I can roll down the car window and start anew the game of "did someone hit a skunk or is that dude in the SUV up there smoking something really dank?"

not a random person, but i'd love to clear the slate and put Sen. Kelly in charge

If you haven't emailed your Congress and Senate reps about the DoD vs. Anthropic thing, and made your position very clear, I highly recommend you do that. Right now.

They all know he's a loser, and he knows they know, and this is all elaborate theater, but go on, Kash, I guess

Hockey <3

if you aren't watching this gold medal hockey game you are MISSING OUT.

watching the bronze medal men's hockey game. Can't believe the Olympics are almost over. HOW DID IT GO BY SO FAST.

i am howling with laughter. tears in my eyes. oh my god.

holy shit, KK Harvey!

The only NHLer that has reliably made the jump to #HeatedRivalry fanfiction is Quinn Hughes, and it's because he is known to be haunted by ghosts. I think that is fantastic.

I was looking into finding a yoga class because my hips, after years of sports and knee injuries and various abuse, are SO TIGHT, but holy shit. all these adult classes are at like. 10 am. Or 2:30 pm. DO NONE OF THESE PLACES SERVE EMPLOYED PEOPLE.

This is your hero, America! <3 Quinn Hughes

Thankfully my NHL team is not cursed with Miller and Trocheck, but other than that, yeah, cosign.

Twitter's down. Brace yourselves.

this admin is running on a "you can just do things" principle that is smacking hard up against the reality that, in fact, you CANNOT just do a lot of things. Like, physically in reality, you are incapable of those things.

Italy's giant goalie is reaching godlike status

Ah jeez, James Van Der Beek. Dawson, Mox...this guy was THE guy of our youth. Rest in peace, fella.

The drone footage of the speed Olympics events is SO. FREAKING. COOL.

Curling is fine and all, but if you happen to be browsing around on Peacock it is literally ALWAYS on live. What the hell are they doing over there in the curling rinks??

A candy shop called Maslow's Hierarchy of Greeds

This one hurts a lot. Farewell, Moira Rose. You were EXQUISITE.

I know there is SO MUCH happening right now, but Ukraine is still fighting. Please donate, if you can, to help them get some drone detectors.

a) no you aren’t b) to the extent that you can, this rapidly becomes unmanageable and unusable

Tell me, chat, is this good? www.kenklippenstein.com/p/ice-unloads

at a certain point the idea of putting all those layers back on is just too exhausting, so you're like, fuck it, a sweatshirt and these slippers will suffice this is almost always a bad call

People with no snow outside, what's that like.

There's a real thing going on where people refuse to believe all this isn't hired out. Firstly I believe this is astroturfed, but secondly I believe that they are, yet again, victims of their own misogyny. The Wine Moms could each individually set this up in an hour.

The snow started a couple of hours ago, and according to the forecast, should stop in about...two days, after at least 36 inches have accumulated. Happy winter, everyone!

Whoever runs the Louisville Metro Police Department Twitter account reached. A point. Sometime last night.

"bearing witness to events" literally just means recording what is happening so it cannot be elided or erased in the future, it does not mean you are required to watch execution videos as some duty, stop letting people who don't understand words tell you what to do

The foster dog is on a poop strike. I do not blame her: if I had to poop outside and it was -15 degrees F (without windchill), I too would simply hold it forever.
