i know how stupid this is but if official dem accounts decided to make these assholes internet famous by calling them perverted freaks it would end this daycare harassment campaign and im telling you i know how stupid that is…

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”

Breakfast will be summonable by the press of a button

Marriages will be easy to cancel

The world will be standing room only

Crime will be treated by doctors

A List of Predictions Made in 1926 About 2026 🧵

The old ways are the best

A few months ago I got the story of a duck who aspires to curling greatness stuck in my brain and simply couldn't get it out until I did this

The average American has three friends.

He asked me what I would say to the 4th graders who suggested the name if I met them. Good times! “People aren’t going to like everything you do even if it’s successful, and it’s legitimate for them not to like it and you should get used to it” is what I said. 2/2

The results of the naming contest for the GRAIL probes were announced at a meeting in 2012. I noted on Twitter that I thought the winning names were dumb. During a lunch break the NASA PSD director ran into me on the street and said “I hear you don’t like the names?” 1/2

been a long time since ive seen this label

AI is not only incapable of "seeing" most languages since they are not digitized, it is hastening their disappearance as young people abandon them in favor of languages that offer chatbots and other such resources.

A language is endangered when it has less than 100 users, and extinct when there are less than 10, mostly elderly, and basically nobody willing to learn it. When a language no longer has users, the culture of that community - history, poems, science, songs...- is gone. We are all poorer for it.

oh you think I’m kidding about the sponge en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xylospo...

in Ancient Rome, you’d chill with the homies at the public bathroom, sharing the single ass-wiping sponge on a stick (Xylospongium) amongst yourselves it was a more noble era www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-...

got all the way to my metro stop in DC once before I realized I had two live cave crickets in my boot (I grew up in the West so am accustomed to checking my boots for interlopers, but foolishly did not assume I had to do so in DC)

the most surreal bathroom I’ve ever visited was definitely the World’s Biggest Public Restroom at the Meixin Foreigner Street theme park in Chongqing: roadsandkingdoms.com/2015/its-a-w...

that’s just the social shitter, as was the custom for the ancients (no, really)

I will tell my kids (I don't have any) that this is Simpsons composer Alf Clausen

A few people cheered

One time, I got giardia and had to leap from a moving bus and find shelter behind a wispy thorn scrub

May not be surreal, but a memorable one had transparent glass in the cubicle doors that presumably was meant to turn opaque when locked. Except it wasn't fully working and instead just dimmed...

Like everything the UAE does, it's technically incredible, and has no sense of pacing, dynamics, subtlety, or indeed any aesthetic beyond "impressive".

Was running one day (few years back) on the trail by my house in NoVA. Fellow runner passes, turns around and says, “Hey, aren’t you Brad from Twitter?”

The mst surreal bathroom I've used was a wooden shack built on the edge of a 300-500m cliff in Nepal. The seat was just a hole between two planks hanging out over thin air. It was terrifying, but I *had* to go. You could see a big streak of nasty stuff smeared all down the cliff.

Happy New Year, Bluesky (after dark edition).

Happy New Year, Bluesky.

Now away the old year passes Burn the corpse and salt the ashes

absolute nightmare fuel

always check for black widows

do I ever approve of this Louisiana float with animatronic crabs at the Rose Bowl

good piece with an incidental insanely brutal takedown of klein

SHUT THE FUCK UP, EUROPEAN

this happens to me more often than I want to admit

Happy 20X6!

Happy 2026! To start the year, here's a tree ring chiton, a 5cm ocean mollusk that sticks to rocks. Instead of having obvious eyes on a head, it's got 100s of tiny eyes embedded in the hard plates on its back, each with a rock crystal to focus light. Its top is one big eye spying on the world above

*taps my book wild faith* as noted in literally the first chapter, the Satanic Panic never ended, it just took a nap for awhile this shit about daycares is literally just the 1980s warmed over. can we bring back cool hair instead of christian vigilantism www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

memory is poison. you can get these things high-centered in a crazy part of the latent space and it won't come out.

@questauthority.bsky.social from a product liability standpoint, how bad is it when your machine is responding to obviously psychotic questions by claiming the end user has a magic computer chip in his head that gives him direct root access to the “divine directive”?

Memory launched in April... 😬

1) this is fucked 2) openai absolutely should have caught his the thing I don't understand from a practical perspective is 3) how were people rehydrating the thing across multiple sessions in order to get juiced the way they wanted to? were they throwing out sessions where it didn't take the bait?

Dog I heard you liked editing posts so I embedded the post about editing posts in the post about editing posts.

As a child, I used an outhouse that a porcupine had been in earlier. We’re quite sure of it as I came back to camp with 8 porcupine quills in… uncomfortable places.

The most surreal bathroom I've ever visited was in Uzbekistan. Was the only one in it so didn't quite clock why, until I realised none of the sit down toilets had cubicles around them.

you are not celebrating the new year’s in an appropriately luxurious fashion if a woman in a flowing outfit is not launched into the air to the sound of orchestral music

is it even a New Year’s Eve spectacular show if a bitch doesn’t fly
