Paul Mokeski, you glorious bastard.

I bet a ton of people drink far less now than 20 years ago for the same reason as me: Our smart watches showed us how much drinking even 1 or 2 drinks fucks us up.

The fundamental of catholic prayer is the rosary, which involves reciting the Hail Mary 50 times. The Hail Mary is the first prayer taught to 4 year olds in catechism.

The idea that "American Catholics want to be protestant, while American protestants want to be Catholic" remains extremely well evidenced.

Bitch if you don’t want to pray to the saints, Martin Luther gave you an off-ramp around 500 years ago.

Trump spent everyday for 8 weeks on twitter telling his accolytes to come to Washington and fight.

Being healthy is taking a truck load of steroids, womanizing, being bombastic, and dying at 71 years old.

This guy here is dead 👇

60% of US military spending is wages and benefits, for what it's worth.

I had an old post on Twitter about this. The US spends about 18% of its GDP on the social safety net and 3.5% on military. Germany spends about 24-25% of its GDP on the social safety net and 2% on the military. Our military spending is not why they can have nice things or why we don't.

okay missed a couple updates cuz of the holidays, but getting back to it. just took dose 9, and doc said to stay on the same dose. down another 4.8 lbs since 12/16, for a total of -15.3 since i started on 11/11. not too shabby. hoping to push a bit harder on eating well now that holidays are over.

Yeah, i'm not sure "skip breakfast and don't have a bedtime snack" is the one-cool-trick to have a beach body.

Is everyone done doing intermittent fasting? Feels like COVID killed it off. Or I'm just not working in an office where idiots are talking loudly about intermittent fasting all day. But if it's still going, save half the vitriol you had for loud vegans for the fasters.

Powerful statement.

Back in the early 2000s, Gender Studies was the whipping boy of the right wing anti-intellectual movement. The elapse 20 years, a lo & belond it's a top 5 most salient topic in the american political discourse.

Scrolling quickly and thinking this was a pretty cool building, but upon closer inspection, it's just a pallet of concrete blocks.

damn, that’s crazy justin. personally I’m so manly I can play with my kids for two, maybe three hours at a time

In order to survive, the poorest families will buy cars with salvage titles, rip out the deployed airbags & seat belts and just drive without them, no car seats, no insurance, skip registering their cars, licenses, skip paying citations, buy gas 5 dollar at a time. We see it every day in the USA.

We need to emphasize destination access so much more as we plan our transportation networks, but we also need a much more dramatic word than that. We're not talking about just having the option to go places; we're talking about our ability to participate in society and survive in a very basic way.

Some of the individual cases defy belief. Milwaukee paid more than $10 million in police settlements in 2025. urbanmilwaukee.com/2026/01/01/m...

It's come to my attention that the 3rd Amendment is in play.

On Facebook it seems every account (businesses/friends) that is clearly hacked and endlessly posting irrelevant ai generated nonsense content, suddenly has coherent pro Trump views. Largest Chicago photography account was hacked and it just switched to Trump posting after two weeks of endless junk.

True confessions: I still feel amazing when a post has double digit engagements.

Boston spent my entire childhood on the biggest highway project in world history.

This is about 10% of drivers in milwaukee. www.wisn.com/article/are-...

Conventional oil peaked circa ~2011 pretty much on time with the peak oil predictions. Global oil production has been stuck in neutral for 6 years.

The Austin Contrarian (inventor of the concept of weighted density on the transit blogosphere) had to write a post ca. 2008 explaining that no, peak oil isn't going to kill Walmart, if anything higher oil prices reinforce the position of large discounters with integrated supply chains.

Traveling through West Virginia for work and I decided to take the scenic route that goes through Hawks Nest State Park Last time I came through here was during peak fall color, but I think winter has its own beauty. Snow or not.

My problem with threads is the same problem that I have with all meta products. I want my online persona & my family / childhood seperate.

Need to start referring to Grok as just "Elon Musk." Unlike Tesla, where he's a 15% owner and the rest are retail investors he convinces to buy the hype, Musk owns ~56% of xAI.

Elon Musk chatbot repeatedly making CSAM on demand should be one of the single biggest stories right now and it's effectively a collective shrug instead

I still keep a memes folder on my phone, just in case

The whole concept of colonization in a below-replacement birth rate world makes no sense. Going send 5 thousand white americans to Venezuela and it will just peter out in a few decades.

Threads passes Twitter

Memes were far better when people had to screen shot videos and then do janky edits in Paint.

Hundreds out in Milwaukee with just a couple hours notice and ten degree temps.

Bunch of the meme accounts on instagram that I follow have activated once again to defend these attacks. I've been suspicious that these are basically controlled by the maga influencer warroom, share apolitical meme/slop to male audiences, then flip on to influence elections.

How soon before Marco Rubio is the president unelected of Venezuela?

This would be 50% of the global car market. Lol.

oh my god he posted so many action shots from the makeshift mar a lago situation room and they were just looking at tweets together on a gigantic screen

It’s absolutely crazy how awful X, or Twitter, is now. The Grok stuff is just the tip of the iceberg. I went over there for five minutes to do my banking and it was absolutely appalling.

#RIP I've seen a couple of examples of Mike Fossey's work today ...

One of the best to ever do it

truly one of the geniuses of posting

what the fuck do u mean you “shrunk the kids” I want a divorce

it’s really true! I used to love reading the replies on viral posts, or on interesting threads from experts absolutely gutted the appeal of the place

I just witnessed a chicken leading a dozen chicks across the road. She literally was teaching them to stop and wait for the cars and everything.

just saw a crow in a tree that was big enough to change my outlook on life. there is a before and after i saw this humongous dog sized crow
