Hi, I'm Beebo. Filthy NC transplant from Florida. I post my thoughts and cat pictures in equal measure.

Anita Bryant died? when you're the figurehead for a movement that is still making the lives of gay and queer people hellish to this day, I won't celebrate your death. I will however pop open some bubbly to mark the occasion.

Unfun fact, if you were born prior to 2014, you and the last known chattel slave in america lived at the same time. Just give yourself that little reminder in case you think we as a country have progressed all that far.

Idk who needs to hear this, but seriously. Fuck Ayn Rand. She got maybe 2 things right, libertarians and religion sucks. But she fucked up literally every single thing she said from there on out. She wasnt prescient, she wasn't a good writer, she was a wildly self interested bitch-on-wheels.

I genuinely want everyone to go and watch/listen to Bilmuri's American Motorsports album. It's country metal. It's insane and wonderful in combining the best of both in ways that southern rock doesn't quite hit. It's like finding a new area to itch that you had no idea was dying to be scratched.

Quick reminder to everyone, the push for privatized health insurance in America came as a consequence of Christian science movement, which came as a result of the millerite movement, which happened because people tried to predict God's return.

Sorry y'all, Folding Ideas might be short for this world, I let it all ride on $HAWK, I thought this was the one that was gonna crack the code, fix the problems, and we were gonna ride it to the moon. I said to myself "If I can't trust the hawk tuah lady, who can I trust?"

I love the Charlie Brown Christmas special. There's an eerie loneliness that hangs over the whole thing. The music, Charlie Brown's depression, the dying little tree, the flatness of the children's voices, the inevitability of death. A Christmas masterpiece.

What are Democrats doing to prepare for the new Congress and White House? Fuck if I know. All anyone - conservative or liberal - talks about is fucking Trump. Guess I should compile a big ass list of groups doing real work so we can go into 2025 armed with more than hot takes and thinkpieces.

This is why #Twitter is failing. Because it's only about money from engagement. Tim is aware that being a paid Russian troll made him a ton of money. He also knows he can turn around and say stupid shit and, if you engage with him, you will be directly funding him.

Waking up to realize that you don't have to have attend a big, wild Thanksgiving party is one of the most freeing things ever as an introvert. I love my big wild family but holy shit a quiet, calm, and small Thanksgiving sounds incredible right now.

"Why would you want to leave Twitter?" Because, Joe Rogan and his sycophants are there. Because this is the reaction to an expert in the field with decades of experience. Because while Twitter wasn't ever a place for civil discourse, it is basically just 4/8chan at this point.

Unrelated note to everything going on, I'm a Florida boy who just migrated to NC over the summer. I am now discovering that ladybugs have been invading my house to hibernate. Yes. Ladybugs hibernate! They form cuddle puddles and just... Check out. For months. The DREAM.

Making this post to actively encourage folks to donate to charities around the coming holidays *if you can.* We made 70 care packages last year with a $300 dollar budget and cleaning blankets donated by the community. Kindness is in short supply right now. If you can, add to it.

In the past, each of our channels made their own calendars. But this year, we brought everyone together to create one calendar that celebrates not just scientific and societal progress, but the collaborative spirit that makes Complexly what it is.

About 13 years ago, we started a company called Complexly so we could make SciShow and Crash Course. That team has grown into a company of 80+ people, who have worked incredibly hard to create 9,000+ videos that are each researched, fact-checked, and available for free.

Had the pleasure and honor of working today at Great Circle Earthworks with none other than THE Dr. Brad Lepper. Dr. Lepper is one of the premier researchers in the mound building cultures of North America and is the manager of archaeology at the Ohio History Connection.

You are up to date.
