That's some folding tables and pipe and drapes. Terrible OPSEC but what else do you expect

Fun fact: the US has been at continual war since 1945 and *not a single one of these wars*, from the Korean War to Vietnam to Iraq to Iraq again, was ever declared war by Congress. The last time the US Congress declared war was 1942. 83 years ago.

OMG 😭 Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure." LIFE SAVING! www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhEx...

great news, all of trump’s businesses go bankrupt, this is our path to a green future

American history is just 'you let a motherfucker shenan once and sure enough they'll shenan again' ad infinitum Actions need to have consequences

Many folks argue that the first two impeachments didn’t constraint Trump so why try again, but if the rule of law is to have any meaning, then Democrats must insist on at least trying to hold Trump accountable for asserting dictatorial powers to kidnap, invade, loot, and murder.

You don't have to listen to these professional liars who are barely trying. 9 months ago they were saying they were powerless to return a man they illegally sent to an El Salvador gulag because it would violate that country's national sovereignty

they opened with artificially low rates to price out all of your local restaurants' in-house delivery drivers specifically so they could do this

That time I had severe bronchitis and strep at the same time or the heatstroke or the anaphylaxis or the time I passed out during a polar plunge or How much time do you have

@chuckwendig.bsky.social found you a recipe

guys, "the judges at the ICC are being sanctioned by the USA and can't access their iphones or bank accounts" and "why aren't any countries banning twitter or prosecuting elon musk for owning a site that manufactures CSAM" stories are the same story

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

Of course there's a picture book about Mamdani already

this is a fascinating statistic. i would assume this is to a great degree simply the obvious fact that green energy is by definition a growth sector. fossil fuels is not, notwithstanding the big run up in production in FF in the last 20 years.

New year new me does not imply a better me. I'm not the problem here. The year on the other hand

Now reading Everything's Eventual by Stephen King. This is my favourite book of his short stories.

A book of short stories about gods as if they were in tv shows or about gods being on tv shows. A couple of good stories in here.

Look at him. He never has to worry about his 401k. He never has to file taxes. He lives a life of petty crime (biting ankles) and hard naps.

Snug as a bug

They gentrified the tinfoil hat

Now reading The Darkest Night edited by Lindy Ryan

If you set off fireworks on New Year's, I should be able to come to your house and set off an air horn at an inconvenient time

Why does "happy new year" feel like a threat

My cat tried to reach for the scissors. Sir, you don't have thumbs and anyway you are not to be trusted.

It is your duty if you see him in public to tell him he's the worst chief justice ever, worse than Roger Taney.

I had to try explaining lutefisk to someone at work and how do you describe the indescribable? There's no way to grasp the horror of it.

Wove in the ends. Sewed in the sleeves. All that's left is knitting the collar and that's a tomorrow project.

Naturally I sewed one sleeve on perfectly and the other one on backwards. There is much swearing.

I just tried to move and my body made noises like glow sticks cracking

Look at this face

Put on my special focus outfit (Deadpool onesie) and carefully contemplating the right movie to have on while I sew together the sweater.

This year I read 226 books, thanks in part to six weeks stuck on the couch recovering from surgery.

Burn it down and salt the earth

I have a coworker who uses the subject line of the email as the email, including their sign-offs. The body of the email is always blank. No one has ever told them not to do this? It's baffling

"Goin' Out West" came up on my playlist and I got into it and forgot to work. Damn you Tom Waits

Maybe this year I'll finally write that book. Gotta get over myself and do it. But first I have to find the hard drive with the research and the first 30 pages on it.

With it being New Year's and my birthday coming up this comes to mind

I hope everyone makes wonderful, well thought out resolutions. I mean…. I’m not - but you can if you want to.

I keep trying to date things 12-31-29 today and I don't know why

Thirty years ago today. The most beautiful, hopeful farewell.

"Weiner subjected patients who didn’t have cancer to chemotherapy and other dangerous treatments, neglected to properly treat patients who were seriously ill, overprescribed addictive narcotics and was suspected by colleagues to have hastened the deaths of more than a half dozen people." BWUH

The tale of a thief on a quest to find a missing queen. Along the way are kraken, goblins, giants, and an assassin hiding inside a cat. He might just take down the thieves guild too. An enjoyable read

All of these “your year in…” various services and apps and it’s just a constant reminder of how willingly we’re being surveilled. (He says, posting to Bkuesky 😂)

Please take some time and watch these deep dives. The amount of money made off merch alone is staggering. And with no transparency of where its going. Aden takes the time to show the math. They do not sell anything at cost as claimed bsky.app/profile/aden...

Reminder that years ago it was found out that the FBI straight up made up a whole bunch of fake forensic sciences, plural. People have gone to jail and been executed due to literally pseudoscience. Hair forensics, for instance, is totally nonsense. They admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Cooper emerging from his blanket cocoon

Australian researchers have made a trial COVID vaccine that stops COVID infection and transmission, rather than just reduce the damage done by an infection: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/immunology/articles/10.3389/fimmu.2025.1654126/full This could be life-changing for many - including me.

I will bet money on "they're showing him AI video and of course he thinks it's real"
