big shout out to Wikipedia for choosing literally the most nightmarish possible image to showcase the uses of Perlin Noise

I am still in awe that the US American rightoids use "soy" - a symbol of USA's "Victory" in the Cold War on the protein-rich feed front - as an insult. A perfect encapsulation of their alienation from the nourishing roots.

You probably have heard about the conspiracy theory that the Bush's Legs were an intentional tool by the USA to collapse the population of former USSR. The thing is, yes, Bush's Legs totally *were* the chlorine-filled hazardous waste that damages the organs of whoever eats it!

What if Bluesky doesn't have to be Important. What if social media doesn't have to be Important. Remember less than 20 years ago when social media didn't exist and we just hung out on forums and anyone who suggested the forum was Important would have been referred for a wellness check.

1/ A thread on our latest publication: Don't tell our beloved cyanobacteria, but we’ve been flirting with ants lately. 🐜 Formicine ants have long been regarded as simple "acid sprayers", containing only formic acid in their venom. Our study shows that this is not the case. 🧵 doi.org/10.1126/scia...

*You* are an unreliable narrator because your coping mechanisms for your deep-seated trauma forbid you from acknowledging the reality of the situation. *I* am an unreliable narrator because I sincerely have no idea what the fuck is going on.

Shout-out to RAFCAMERA and its Belarus machinists. I received my 75mm x 1mm flange, mounted this antique beauty, and... Incredibly fuzzy pictures. 🫨 I opened up the lens, re-arranged the elements for classic #Petzval, and now it is sharp. 😍 Who is G.G, who is A.R? #VintageLens #Camera Pr0n:

isekai discourse always comes off like people think Stories come from the Story Factory and that the ubiquitousness of the genre isn't a result of a lot of first-time/amateur creators (which the genre conventions specifically enable) being elevated b/c western licensors only care about teenage boys

If PlanS was able to singlehandedly derail things (what a mess), the NIH is certainly big enough to shift things again (hopefully with better results...) www.deltathink.com/news-views-p...

Once again highlighing the importance of high dosage HRT for trans women: In Male Mice™ sex steroid loss in castration is discovered to be linked to neuroinflammation.

chickpeas are so important. yum yum

Does anyone know if there's written documentation on how ONT put together their dorado bacterial polishing model? I know it fares well on benchmarks, but what is it based on and how did they put it together? Is anyone testing alternate polishing models these days? 💻🧬🧪

Fascinated by the clear differences of opinion among various image hosting sites regarding exactly how much of the scrotum needs to be covered for an image to qualify as SFW.

www.tumblr.com/venxomi/8033... reading through this and sending bits to @grindagoat.bsky.social constantly because like I knew Subaru RE: Zero was eggy, I didn't know that she's just blatantly a trans girl in the closet because holy shit so much of this matches MY childhood (sans crossdress bc cult)

WHAT is going on in monagatari

When I was a first-year we caught a least weasel and fed her mice. She eventually took a liking to one mouse and kept it alive and groomed it while eating its kin. Eventually close presence of the predator's scent killed the mouse.

removing this guy from his position is the single most important errand facing American politics at present. the amount of damage he's doing is almost incalculable.

franchise so big that it's become intergenerational and is being enjoyed by grown ass men *and* children alike while still being developed by only one guy but ppl will still get mad if you imply touhou belongs as one of the greatest of independent game history along with undertale and cave story

18. Princession Orchestra I really enjoyed it! I think the pacing was a bit wonky, but this was just really great magical girl stong. Good songwork, especially with how many there were. I adore Meteor especially. Also impressed by how vast and well-developed the sidecast is. Just a great show.

19. ReZero Season 1 (rewatch) Honestly held up even better than I expected. The commentary on otaku masculinity is, in a lot of ways, even more relevant now than it was in 2016. The show is also just a remarkably good mystery plot.

The use of “czar” for a government executive really reached an absurd peak the other day when I read someone’s position was the appointed “anti-semitism czar” which well yeah he usually was

Michelle's first day of cheer practice #art #ocs

Owners of media will continue to pump this shit out because their interest to make people believe they are billionaires in the making instead of a class of exploited workers so you’ll spend your life making them richer instead of fighting for a better quality of life for yourself.

"that's right, we know what we're doing and we're banning you on purpose, you know, with intent."

So, they're *personally* banning all the trans women. It's a conscious choice made by a person.

Writing for MORIAH was an absolute delight. Kyle has got something truly special here and I'm proud that my words, insufficient as they are, are part of this book. Go back this.

"police officers require more training"

They don't have good productive groups like timurovets or volunteers or factory to do healthy identity fusion with do develop a purpose and that's why they compile surrogates like a caddisfly larva.

Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games really just has me acting like this image. Like I don't get hype for any of Murata Shinya's yuri and yuri adjacent works.

You should be able to get off to boko no pico in public and online and if someone tries to stop you they should be arrested

Wow ChatGPT even learned the pattern of a Chinese first author + a well established last author with great reputation.

A campaign has started among Polish scientists to persuade the government to increase funding for research. The campaign has the keywords "3% for science, 100% for Poland". At present, R&D spending in PL is ~1.5%. A protest is planned for May 27 at the sejm.

Had a deeply frustrating conversation just last night with someone who insists Dark Souls Has No Story. Since she was a millennial as elder as I was I was expecting at least some substantive reasoning, but no, Overgrown Gamefaqs Poster syndrome strikes again,

remembering that uhana ririka made an official top bottom chart for the con cafe girls (with added puppytao)

Trying to learn anthropology and ontology of the theater from his lectures while they are making a lolcow from him on Twitter is quite possibly the most experience of this time in my life.

its fun how you can just learn things from textbooks and lecture videos for free

LRT Honestly it continues to be wild to me that people will very often just hallucinate things in order to deny queerness (Especially to deny transgender readings) Like I've seen these sorts of hallucinations often for other things as well, but it seems especially common for that.
