Since 25 million is not enough to fully adapt The Belgariad for the silver screen I'll have to go with a super restored and tricked out VW Thing

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

Vance: I'm trying to focus on doing as much of God's work as possible. And if that leads to the end times, okay

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

This week in LAX I paid $40 for a fast food burger, fries, and fountain drink. 😑 I didn't notice till I looked at the receipt. In SLC, the airport guarantees street pricing, so restaurants charge the same as they would outside of the airport. LA could do this too and stop scamming trapped travelers.

This motherfucker makes me, an atheist former cradle Catholic, wanted to argue doctrine with him.

Vance: People hang out those hideous signs in their yard that say, "in this house we believe blah blah blah blah blah. You know, love is love, science is science, whatever. No person is illegal." That sign is such a disgusting butchering of the Nicene Creed

#knitsky #knitting I need your help. A little over 2 weeks ago my wife and best friend @delrex.bsky.social had a sudden heart attack and passed away. I don't know if any of you interacted with her but she was a far more talented knitter than she gave herself credit for.

She'd want it to go to someone who would appretiate it. There's not a scrap of acrylic in there, she was.....kind of a yarn snob. If you know anyhone just message me. I may not respond right away as there is a lot I'm processing/doing RN. Thanks for being an awesome community for her. ❀️

Huge thank you to everyone who has responded. So much love and suggestions truly made me cry. Knitters are awesome. Great call about the library/kniiting group suggestions. The major library in our area has a group that makes hats and lap blankets for oncology patients. She'd have loved that

As I pick up the pieces of my life I'm at a loss of what to do with her stash. It seems criminal to break it up and doing so would break me. Is there anyone here in Knitsky that knows someone in the SF Bay area that would appretiate and use it? I don't want to sell it.

This week has been, without a doubt the worst of my life. Last weekend, my absolutely amazing better half Delanie passed away from a sudden blot clot related heart attack. To be frank, I'm still numb. Family and friends have rallied around me but the pain and loss is immesurable

To distract myself, I saw that Dropout had the first episode of the new season of Game Changer. For 44 minutes and 31 seconds of this godawful fucking week, I laughed my ass off. It's utterly deranged and might be the best thing they've ever made

Thank you @samreich.bsky.social, I did not think it was possible for me to find any comfort this week but you absolute wild nutcases did the impossible for almost an hour. Now I'm back to crying writing this but thank you for that absolutely unhinged 45 minutes. ❀️

I've been alternating between non stop crying and massive dissociation in between trying to do the shocking amount of tasks necessary when someone passes. I've been powering through someonewhat, but today I hit a wall. I did not have the energy, physical or mental to do anything

Less 'naturee is healing' sadly and more like 'stupid evil people trying to pretend they didn't do stupid evil shit'

The millennial craft movement vastly improved American gastronomy and I refuse to let zoomers with no cultural memory of the bland garbage we ate and drank 20 years ago meme me into thinking it is cringe.

A spontanious celebratory techno rave is the most European thing I've ever heard and I love it

Marie Le Conte@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com

went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

To any Hungarians annoyed that Americans are placing the credit for your momentous victory on the shoulders of our stunningly repellent little weasel of a VP: you are correct to feel that way, I'm sorry, we just want to seize any available oppurtunity to humiliate him specificially

I've had more arguments than I should over Vick. Man was convicted, lost millions, went to real prison and then after serving his time has worked on anti dog fighting outreach. Folks will still demonize him more than someone who murdered people.

I have a hard time picking my funniest tweet but I know for me the funniest day on Twitter HAD to be Fyre Festival. Once my @delrex.bsky.social and I realised it was going down in real time we effectively spent the whole day refreshing and cry laughing. I was dehydrated from laughter

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

Has to be a cassowary for me.

NEW: A hobbyist has created Nearby Glasses, an app that warns you if someone close by is wearing smart glasses. 404 Media spoke to the creator who said he was inspired by our coverage that uncovers how men are wearing Meta's Ray-Bans to covertly film massage parlor workers.
