What if everyone and everything just didn't, you know?

“burn the entire democracy down and start over” is an opinion equivalent to “apocalyptic times are good because the rapture is coming and I’ll go to heaven” in that it’s a way people give themselves permission to do none of the complex and difficult things that would make things a little better now

These 'gender reveals' are getting out of control! Let's talk about why this bolete mushroom is changing color on exposure to air. I can't be certain of the species, but there are a number of "bluing boletes" including Gyroporus cyanescens. Some are edible, others at least mildly toxic.

I’m very fond of “An Olive Grove Facing the Sea”, a melancholy early Snow Patrol song

This is why I am so, so skeptical of leftist calls for “community” as the alpha and omega of political organizing. What happens if the relevant community thinks you suck, or thinks the person that wronged you is great? Give me impersonal institutions over social groups any day.

In my experience, if a self-describe anarchist starts explaining what they want to replace the State, if you drill down far enough, their description will either be: 1. the State, but with more community meetings(and required attendance) or 2. The dumbest idea you've ever heard in your life.

A few more because of course this is going to be the cover design of all my work notebooks from now until I'm over this phase.

ICYMI, I legitimately think this is one of the most interesting interviews I've ever conducted!

Doughnuts are ok but the fancier they are the more disappointing they are, and if they have any coating whatsoever aside from a sprinkle of sugar it's a no from me

everyone: OMG all the rich and powerful people in the world turned out to be abusers and pedophiles!??!! neil gaiman: hey everyone, remember me?

Taking every shitty "and Zombies" adaptation of classic literature and search-and-replacing "Zombies" with "Knuckles".

Sure hope January really does end today

I’d reported X to Apple for abusive content a few weeks ago, got an update the other day: “we notified the X content provider regarding the identified content. We also found the content violates the App Review Guidelines and requested the content provider take action to come into compliance.”

I’d like to pretend I’m looking at the photos from the F1 test and being “ah, the aero effect of…” but honestly all I’ve got is “I like that one’s colour”. Respect to the people who understand what‘s going on from an engineering perspective and can explain it in small words

I want to read books that could only have been written by *that* author, because of their perspective, their sense of humor, their pet peeves, their experiences, their niche interests. I want to read books flavored by the author as a human, not by tropes on repeat. And that's how I want to write.

there are two 261 cars I've seen around. One is a Tesla that looks like it’s been anonymised; the other is a BYD. I think they should fight and my money is on the BYD. The Tesla is ashamed of itself and wants to be a Toyota

Only just realised that people are calling Arknights: Endfield AE. I did wonder why Another Eden was coming up so often in discussions

We're kiiiinda bringing some ~gdocs on atproto~ energy! Leaflet actually started as an app for quick fun shared docs, before we added atproto blogging / publishing Some limitations e.g. only published docs are on atproto b/c all data's public — but you can share Leaflet docs even w/o publishing!

Generalize your skeets. What’s your most typical, most average skeet? Ugh, the new Bluesky update broke Formula One. But at least I have cake

Have... have I won? I haven't seen this in at least a week.

In the fullness of consideration it would have been inappropriate to make their relationship canon due to the problematic power difference, so really, queerbaiting you was the most ethical course of action.

the "medieval people didn't know how to draw animals" crowd has been real quiet ever since john siferwas dropped the Perfect Woodcock

Endfield is continuing to occupy me despite feeling like a game entirely pieced together from other games I played. My factory. is currently a mess of red signs and clog warnings because I got stressed and ignored it, but there's loads of other things to run around discovering.

I've been saying since I moved, this area needs a decent coffee shop (i.e. notiony beans, not Lavazza), and I feel justified in that because one finally opened and it was too busy today to even get in the door for a takeaway latte. It even has pastries, which I am sadly going to have to wait to try

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

you know what smart companies would do? hallucination bounties, where if you catch someone above your level in the organization putting out an official document with AI hallucinations in it you get a cash bonus

The results of this poll fascinate me (so far over half want to live in the countryside, a quarter in a town, fewer in a city). I would love if everyone who wanted to live in the countryside could live in the countryside www.thejournal.ie/poll-city-or...

Every morning I wake up and find out what kind of bullshittery occurred overnight in the US. I'm so sorry US friends. It is so fucked.

Since Jan 14th I have been working on imaging NGC 2359. Seeing conditions have been spotty. I collected over 21 hrs of data, but only used 15.4 hrs of data tossing the rest due to poor seeing. I have to say this is better than any previous attempts with OSC camera. #astrophotography #colorado #ZWO

Endfield is running surprisingly well on my tablet. I went in with nearly no knowledge and thought it'd be like OG Arknights but it's basically a Mihoyo-type action RPG with a convoluted factory system that requires you to play through long tutorials if you forgot a step and want to check what to do

why in god's name am I thinking about the Beckham drama. but! I have been baffled at people horrified by the "most beautiful woman in the room... the MIL!" thing since it's 100% standard old wedding DJ humour. It clearly landed badly because there was long-simmering tension. but it's a basic joke

The best moment from the #Rolex24 autograph session? A fan offered Alex Palou a $1 donation towards his court loss that was announced this morning, which he happily accepted. I guess anything helps, though it won't go very far towards the $12 million he owes McLaren. #IMSA

Can't quite bring myself to read the article but I know "it's eels being real good at tubes" will ensure I never forget the concept

Sick of weather. I want to frolic in the sun and sit in a hammock!

oh that’s not good

Dublin City Council CEO Richard Shakespeare says "I have now taken the decision to suspend all posting by the City Council on the X.com platform. This applies to all City Council X accounts and will be actioned with immediate effect."

A few more angles of the SF-26 that will run at Maranello today. The HP logo looks a bit less harsh on the white background. Technical director Loic Serra said: "We dedicated significant time to the concept phase to capture as much as possible of the new regulatory & technical context." #F1
