Jules Winnfield to Hegseth: I don't remember asking you a GOD damn thing

On this day in 1975, Harmonium released their second studio album Les cinq saisons. Considered one of the best Canadian albums ever made, it went platinum in Canada with 100,000 copies sold. It also earned four Juno nominations, including Group of the Year.

A music lover has been secretly recording live shows for decades - now there are thousands of free downloads online, including some major acts from the 80s and 90s. {https://kottke.org/20..../treasure-trove-of-secret-concert... https://kottke.org/26/04/online-treasure-trove-secret-concert-recordings

Vance to Heisenberg: "you should be careful when talking about matters of uncertainty."

*frenzy meter rises*

Wishing a happy Brian’s Hat Day to all who celebrate.

So @rickyftw.bsky.social's back from his jog through Death Valley... and it's @eliotetc.bsky.social's duty to inform Ricky why he might be better off sweating his ass off in the desert as #InternetToday returns for yet another American Fascism Gut Check!

As the husband of an Iranian woman, as an American, and as a human being, I’m honestly not sure how much more of this I can stand.

it's been on my list to make a video about lenny randle for six years and i finally did it. THE HISTORY OF CHARGING THE MOUND, EPISODE 6:

from now on this is benzene again

Apparently the Canucks didn't know about the Streisand effect? theprovince.com/sports/hocke...

I'm sorry but wtf is this image. Palladium fraternizing with niobium? Bismuth cavorting with fluorine? Dogs and cats, living together? MASS HYSTERIA!

Great story by NPR - a rare (but extremely welcome) positive story about chemistry and medicines discovery.

.... And if the conflict lasts longer than that...? How many MRI scanners are going to be unexpectedly decommissioned because they can't refill them with liquid helium? (obviously I'm also freaking out about NMR spectrometers...) This war is too stupid to be real. And yet it is.

An absolute legendary artist and pioneer. I can't get over the level of awesome in this photo.

am I the only one disappointed this isn't a pi*

Chemistry in current events: the connections between fertilizer, the Haber-Bosch process, and the Persian Gulf. Read this and your knowledge will exceed that of most of our current political leadership after only a few minutes of light work:

at the request of @legendofq.bsky.social and many others; here is the directors-cut of our boring and pointless discussion about local grocery stores.

what's that quote, "history doesn't repeat but it does rhyme"? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_oi...

not to be a Metallica pendant but I think it's Damage, Inc. and I would lobby to swap that with Creeping Death (lower main group seems fitting for that)

This is a huge mistake that the majority of the province will come to regret later this year.

Hi All. Here is Alex Pinto, chemistry professor at Manhattan University, in NYC. I use to have a twitter with a couple of followers. Now, I am finally at BlueSKy. If you used to follow my group on Twitter, please, follow us here on BlueSky. I hope to keep the same vibe we used to have on Twitter.

The final version of this manuscript is up at acs catalysis. pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/...

Tomorrow is our next #COrgI virtual seminar, featuring talks from Prof. Joshua Walsh on new organic materials, and Claudia Natola from the Body group at UOttawa on total synthesis. Info and registration here! cheminst.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?...

Unfortunately too cloudy here at 3:30am to Make Contact with the blood moon, but at least my son and I ripped through most of the Bloodborne DLC. A good night for the hunt!

we have one of each

Behold! A paleblood sky!

Behold! A paleblood sky!

The moon is close. It will be a long hunt tonight. #bloodmoon

'McLusky Do Dallas' comprises anxious, aggressive music that boasted the all too rare quality of being pure, destructive fun without the baggage of giving three tenths of a shit. www.treblezine.com/m...

... And that ad (because after all, it's a goddamn AD) was only possible because of the staggering genius of Nick Drake, who died 25 years earlier. youtu.be/_1IH3q2ULsQ?...

AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

DAMN RIGHT I GOT THE BLUES

Did you know that "young Sammie" and "older Sammie" did a Tiny Desk today? Yep, Miles Caton and Buddy Guy performed together #Sinners youtu.be/m5XxOLdMSS8?...

The Legend of Zelda (1986 - released 40 years ago today) sprite table (presumably for memory allocation purposes) and enemy character progression sheets, all drawn by Shigeru Miyamoto.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

Still one of the greatest action movies of all time.

...horrifying message without context, thank you

There is an old word to describe going to a foreign power and asking for their assistance in breaking up a sovereign country — it’s treason. Canadians are standing together in defence of this beautiful land. 🇨🇦

Now do the isotope pattern

This is a disgraceful statement, signifying nothing. Pattison and everyone else involved in this *should* be ashamed, but that assumes they are capable of feeling shame. I hope the locals in Virginia block this sale since Pattison is too cowardly/greedy to say no to enabling a concentration camp.

Doomscrolling has evolved into ragescrolling

Canada sent so many dedicated young people into the hellfire of Kandahar to help the United States. Now they ridicule us. JD Vance says he is tired of our "sob stories". Trump says they never needed us. Never again, America, Never again.
