ok, so, this is entirely beside the point, but setting aside the abhorrent racism for a moment, is this a sticky rice that sort of clumps when you press it together? because I am used to rice with separate grains that you couldn't really do this with easily.

MOBY-DICK Hard: "With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship." Easy: "When things get me down, I book a cruise."

"This is how we get flotsam: King George insists on levying harsh taxes on his New World subjects. Some Bostonians respond by littering in the harbor."

14yo got her 2nd Gardasil vaccine! I’m rejoicing that my daughters are now protected against the cervical cancer that killed my mother. Fuck all the vaccine-haters. These vaccines save lives & anyone who chooses not to protect their kid, boy or girl, from HPV is an idiot & menace to society.

And she wrote the (terrifying) book.

My main surprise is that this move took this long to do but this is about as grave a situation as you can get when it comes to vaccine regulation in the US: archive.ph/Y5WCM

I've read @carlzimmer.com book Airborne. You might want to as well

Electrochemical steel: absolutely the new hotness.

One of the most gratifying days was the day the GOP prepared for huge crowds to attend this bastard's funeral, only to have pretty much nobody show up. Everything we see going on today in the Administration is the continuation of Reagan, but with the dog whistle replaced by a steam calliope.

Musk to Trump “Did you even say Thank you”?

And we were too dumb to discover gravitation even though cats were knocking objects off high places since there were objects and places to knock them off of...and cats.

Stephen King knows horror better than anyone.

ACAB and the press makes them worse

You could waste your time reading that New Yorker article, or you could listen to the Behind the Bastards episode about Yarvin that rightfully mocks him mercilessly for being an edgelord idiot that doesn’t understand history.

More of the usual common sense. Even if you're not interested in agriculture (You do eat, don't you) Sarah makes it fascinating.

This has it all; assonance, alliteration, music, and a h/t to the Bard.

In my former industry (contracting) it's said that safety regs. are "written in blood". Public health mandates are written in little tiny coffins.

Happy birthday to James Hutton - the Father of Modern Geology! Hutton used Scottish rocks, like this exposure at Glen Tilt, to support theories of plutonism and deep time. Here granite intrudes and surrounds sedimentary rocks - evidence these rocks were once molten

My partner just asked me if there's an insanity defense in defamation cases. Short answer: no, but if there were, he'd win easily.

@w7voa also said that though he recognizes the importance of the femur as the largest bone in the body, he wasn't sure why it had its own federal agency and had Googled it upon his appointment.

@voltzyr.bsky.social Your bio sentence made my day.

“You don’t know what you have ‘till it’s gone.”

He nailed it!

"You don't know what you've got 'till it's gone."

Read that book! It's scary informative.

Anthony is the best at this sort of poetic intricacy. Follow him!

Read this follow Sarah

This takes only a minute but if you don’t chuckle you have no heart

Nerd™ meta

I had no idea there were so many amateur urologists.

You must follow @sarahtaber.bsky.social There's so much about food supply and agriculture people are unaware of. This thread is a fine example, AND there are many more like it.

RAW MILK TIME I was surprised to find most of the "raw milk cures ___" talking points from the last 20+ years come from one (1) raw milk dairy farmer in California. Let's get to know him!

It's not the Gestapo if it doesn't come from the Gesta region of former 3rd Reich. Otherwise, it's just weaponized wanna-Nazi thugs.

World's worst "conversion therapy" narrative.

The timing of Adam Conover embracing THE ORB while Donald Trump is back in Saudi is too funny. When did ORBS become this sinister? I grew up associating ORBS with British royalty and…actually ok don’t worry I’ve answered my own question

Quote with a pic of the plane you'll accept as a bribe.

Making Tides of History is the coolest job ever. I'm writing a series of episodes about empire in the ancient Mediterranean, about to start researching the La Tene Culture and the Celts for the next set, and planning interviews with absolutely fascinating scholars. "Blessed" is overused but damn!

Buried lede. 1. The cops put cameras up illegally. 2. Men go free (that's fine), but women sex workers get felony prosecutions (not fine).

No anthem played over Red Square today can cover the sound of justice coming. Today, on Europe Day, a special tribunal for the Crime of Aggression is launched in Lviv. Justice for Ukraine begins to take shape. Justice is the foundation of a long-lasting peace. → europa.eu/!G9GkXT

i love how humble these dudes are, we should give them more money
