today's apparently my day to inform fellow Gifted (rapid intake/synthesis of information) and habañeuro kin that having an existential crisis or three *before puberty* over the philosophical ramifications of the permanence and universality of death is not. in fact. a normal developmental milestone.

Pour one out for Jason Collins. First - and only - openly gay man to suit up as an active NBA player. Gone at 47. Glioblastoma. Rest easy big fella. Sending warm thoughts to his twin, Jarron, and the rest of the family.

Just wanted to update you guys. It’s been a long 7 yrs but I finally finished the bottle of Worcestershire sauce. It was a great run!!

True, but just TRY to get something like this past the GOP.

Somewhere in the last couple weeks I passed my 30,000th anti-ice whistle printed and shipped to organizers, neighbors, and friends around the country. the work has become second-nature at this point, the chirp of the printer a sound nobody in my house even notices. Get yours: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

I hope I am still alive for the day harm reduction replaces safety theater as the primary guiding principle of transportation policy

The FBI should be disbanded, its leadership and any agents who comitted rights abuses should be tried and imprisoned. Deploying law enforcement against reporters who the regime dislikes and opposition politicians is full-on dictatorship shit.

When someone has a 63% disapproval rating and goes to a Yankees v. Tigers baseball game. Sound up:

The nominal strategic purpose of the U.S. Navy is to ensure global freedom of navigation to guarantee stable global trade. It has not only not done that, the United States instigated the conflict which undid it. This is known in foreign policy analysis as a “whoopsie doodles.”

On a software project, I used dummy text as a placeholder to be replaced later with actual descriptive error messages. Predictably, not all instances were fixed before release, and bemused corporate clients reported "Error: There is sauerkraut in my lederhosen".

Good morning nerds!

The Bruins and the Celtics are both out, but do you know who IS still in playoff contention? THE BOSTON FLEET!! Can we, maybe, get some coverage that's not buried five pages deep? #PWHL #BOSTON #HOCKEY @onlyinbos.bsky.social @bostonglobe.com @bostonherald.com

happy may day! every right you have as a worker was written in blood ❤️

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit

Lying is a virtue to fascists. Cruelty is a virtue to fascists. Violence is a virtue to fascists. Killing is a virtue to fascists. It's not inconsistent at all; it's all very consistent to the one true belief of fascists, which is domination.

Happy birthday, Dad. Wish you were here. You’d know what to do. Or at least you’d know what to write. ❤️

Why don’t cyclist use the cycle lane? #405.

“People who couldn’t handle the hustle and bustle of Gastonia” is such a niche insult & accurate description of a particular person we all know.

Michael Tracey is obsessed with smearing Epstein victims and reframing the case as a “moral panic.” Last night he reportedly yelled at Pulitzer winner Julie K Brown about Epstein until he got escorted out. If only victim-blaming was unacceptable and intolerable in elite media spaces to begin with.

Instead of saving fake money, how about you give people real money. Take some from the billionaires. They don’t need it.

Go team “Everyone Loses”

It only gets better the more you use it as daily transport. I can ride from Brookline to Medford about the same speed as a car (faster during rush hour), carry birthday presents, and not be a mess when I arrive.

And on that note I’m going to go wash my brain with bleach, at least until his response to the complaint is filed.

NASA astronaut Sunita Williams completed the #BostonMarathon in 2007 in 4:23:46 from the International Space Station while orbiting the Earth at ~17,500 mph. First person to run a marathon in space. She qualified for Boston on Earth with a time of 3:29:57 in the Houston Marathon. #WomenInSTEM

Global Tetrahedron has completed its plan to control InfoWars

For 4/20 my wife got high, sat in a chair petting a cat for an hour, then announced out loud to nobody in particular: "I'm gonna make pasta beans. Don't ask what that is" Then she got up and now the kitchen smells amazing.

I am both sweet and extremely dense. I hope you also contain multitudes.

19 years ago this day, a perfectly good piece of pizza was ruined at Fenway Park. #neverforget www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufSQ...

Over 8 billion reasons to ditch fossil fuels in one photo.

I can just shuffle the meme cards in the archives and find something that works.

The question I want answered by every member of the Senate and the House is "what did you do in the last 8 hours?" That's it. I don't need spin, I sure as hell don't need a story. I just want a list. What the fuck did you do today?

did you know Leland Melvin (with @joecaramagna.bsky.social & Alison Acton) has a series of kids books and they are super cute?

never forget when the Easter Bunny sent Teddy Roosevelt to the shadow realm

It requires work. Which as USians, is anathema. But the work is worth it

RIP James Gadson, drummer. Working with everyone from Marvin Gaye to Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin to Justin Timberlake, his career spanned 6 decades. He played on over 500 gold records, including Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get It On," the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and Herbie Hancock's "Manchild"

Interesting fact, I always assumed it was because of the golden ratio 😳 but reality is far more interesting.

Do not surrender in advance. Make them kill you.

Average union soldier memoir: "at first I was like I signed up for this war, but is it really worth it? Then I saw the reality of chattel slavery and I had to be physically restrained from slaughtering every white southerner I encountered"

Build it

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Because you all deserve something good, this photo of Leonard Nimoy - who was born #OnThisDay in 1931 - as a young actor

Good morning, BlueSky
