Editors are levees holding back rushing and swirling floods of tortured plant metaphors.

How your email reaches me.

"He will continue teaching." Motherfucker what. The risk model is different from their usual purview but OSHA is desperately needed at these institutions.

Linus Torvalds being unfathomably based

Absolutely excellent story whether you're a metalhead or not. Darkness heals.

Cursed to wander the earth knowing that these sentences exist.

Remember when people were decrying the lack of viewpoint diversity on this website?

Reddit is still the primary home of hyper specific perverts and that's kind of beautiful.

I'm just an unsophisticated and loutish peasant but elite impunity and sex crimes were always bad IMHO.

We have tons of cat beds, perches, nap spots, and they're always welcome on the bed with us but one of the babies spends every night on a bath mat that she scrunches up into a bed. Lately she's taken to dragging my socks in there with her before going to bed, as well. Punishingly cute.

A true classic

Their greed just saved me $60.

lmao, offset work week is fucking my shit up

Months of waiting but my review copy of The War on Science has arrived. I read Krauss’ introduction. What the fuck happened to this man? He comes off as incapable of basic research, argument, basic scholarship. He sounds stupid. I look into strange claims he makes and they’re demonstrably false

Local bridge troll wishes he was in the epstein files because it would make him relevant to the current moment, unlike every other single moment he has been alive. What a sad, odious existence.

At christmas time my brother in law and I come up with increasingly silly crafts projects every single year, without fail. The homemade Caga Tio (not silly, to be clear) was a runaway success 10 or so years ago and we're still chasing that high.

Country artists have yet to discover the technology of "small beers" instead of "cold beers" but when that happens this website will have its first civil war.

Be as cool as I know you to be downtown LA!

There's always pureflix lmao

I've been offline most of the day and I don't know what this "nussy" term refers to and frankly I don't want to know.

For sale, Sturgis 2020 commemorative t-shirt, never worn.

I have no direct evidence for this but I just know that the emoji library in the nyt internal slack is a complete nightmare.

*guy who gets all his medical information from Sunday morning cartoons* So he'll be nice now?

Insanely there are three distinct strands of pedo apologia now. You have this craven cover-up strand, you have the birthrate perverts, and you have the manosphere/pua/incel creeps. But they're all just trying to justify being child predators! Enough of this!

Jeffrey Epstein was developing a series, moderated by @lkrauss1.bsky.social, to bring scientists and celebrities together. The first season would include an episode where "Woody Allen talks about the human condition with Linguist Noam Chomsky." drive.google.com/file/d/14Sla...

“America is sleepwalking into authoritarianism, and if there’s anybody out there that is a member of a labor union that is safe and doesn’t think this applies to you, he’s coming for you. They’re coming for you.” inthesetimes.com/article/drop...

All those guys with "kill your local pedophile" shirts and hats would be really upset right now if they knew how to read.

My nephew is right, backhoes and excavators are indeed cool.

This is gonna sound dumb but Practical C Programming by Steve Oualline changed the trajectory of my whole life.

Kind of fascinating looking at the trajectories of the Alien and Predator franchises. Looking at Alien, Aliens, Predator, and Predator 2 in isolation I would never have guessed that the Predator franchise would keep a consistently higher bar, save The Predator (2018) which was butt.

Just in case any other recording engineer needs to hear this in this most dangerous for your wallet of times (black friday is like a full month for audio shit): you don't need another plugin.

4 demos down. Songwriting is tough when you only have cats and your long suffering partner as sounding boards!

Let's make a species of animal that famously plugs its own asshole with shit for part of the year the face of our bathroom paper products.

If you think nuisance streamers were bad before... Someone's gonna live stream their own murder in a pair of these.

George General Electric got saved in 1944 and that day a sailor discovered something about himself. This may be relevant to your interests @komododad.bsky.social www.starnewsonline.com/story/news/l...

Is Oscar Isaac the most successful person to emerge from the Florida ska punk scene of the late 90s? I can't think of anyone else from The Closet Heterosexuals getting GQ features tbh.

probably little comfort to joan meyer who DIED from the stress of the raid.

Marion County agrees to pay out $3M for newspaper raid, expresses regret. Editor says court cases against city continue #ksleg

Bond continuity? First off, why? But sure, come up with continuity for the guy who's been to space, done Thunderball twice, been a spy for over 60 years and is currently a carrier of several previously undiscovered STIs. Is this all about the Casino Royale cock & ball torture scene?

I don’t think any of us are fully prepared for the level of self-pity and absolution that’s going to be in Olivia Nuzzi’s (hilariously titled) “American Canto”

lmao, accidentally made what I can only describe as "minefield lasagna". The sauce was a little wimpy so I looked around and grabbed some red pepper flakes as a last minute thing but didn't stir it appropriately so now there's pretty funny a bite-by-bite heat differential.

The 2005 Amityville Horror remake is just brutally miscast. George Lutz as a sarcastic asshole while turning into a family annihilator is a very weird tonal shift, and it's constant.

If axios is the only sourcing for this I remain highly skeptical that it's anything but a whisper campaign right now. It's not that I have excessive belief in the spinefulness of this crew, it's that I have even less belief in Axios' anonymous sources.

It's funny that the big muff became the sort of canonical fuzz because as soon as you kick that bad boy on your guitar disappears into the cymbals because the mids are so scooped. Which, given what most guitarists play, isn't that big of a loss, but still.

You don't get slow motion shootout scenes set to breakbeats with squelching 303 basslines anymore. And that is sad.

The thing with an early load in is that the night's punisher will already be there when you arrive and they'll spot you in daylight, making it so much harder to slither away when they pounce.

We've had cats for years but there's always something novel about waking up with a purring maniac massaging your neck with his knife filled hands.

Squirrels are prepping for winter outside, the cats are just moving from window to window alternating howls and ekekeks. One will howl and the rest quickly run over to join in. I wonder if this is how the audience at gladiatorial games felt.

Burning $4 billion a month to build a product that regularly drives users to suicide. I'm not a business genius but that seems bad.

151 cancellations on Tuesday www.flightaware.com/live/cancell... 854 cancellations today www.flightaware.com/live/cancell... At least ATL is at only 4%, not the required 10% cancelled flights so far, but not sure if other airports are doing a similar ramp up.
