You know what’s nice? When a dog moves from one end of the couch to the other, knocks a pillow to the floor, and squishes in just so she can touch you while she naps🥹

May their meltdowns be as grand as their wealth.

I see we're having a debate about whether it's okay to go back to "X," the site owned by a trillionaire fascist who is currently bankrolling the GOP's midterm, throttled Ukraine's war effort, and still winkingly allows vast amounts of CSAM on his service Answer: No, what the fuck is wrong with you

Republicans would rather your children watch a man get killed than a drag queen read

Your semi-regular reminder that we, and most bookshops, have a plentiful supply of clean, strong boxes should you need them for moving, storage, building forts, overthrowing the patriarchy etc.

Knew the correct response on my Jeopardy game just now, all thanks to #Mincup! Q-What is talc? Woot!

A cute #quartz “inclusion” before Match 6 while it’s still #Caturday. Is this FINALLY quartz’s year? Make it so. #MinCup26 ⚒️ sci-fi 🧪 🖖🏼 scifi Geosciences #WomenInSTEM geology #geosky #GIS 🍎 🪐 🔭 🌋

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

I not sure my kids appreciated my “My sciatica is bothering me today and I am butt-hurt about it” joke. Moms can make dad jokes, too! Sciatica=no fun ☹️

Yelling, “Percale, you dumbasses!”when the 5th website shows me flannel sheets. “Not the same!”

The age old question: buy ink or replace the printer? Yes, I do have to waste ink running a head realignment monthly, but will it be any better with a new printer? Just a different annoyance probably More ink it is!

Good morning. Trans people and immigrants aren’t why your grocery bills are high, your gas is expensive, and you don’t have universal health care. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to figure out the real reason, and vote for those who actually want to fix it. 🇺🇸

Natalie Harp is a year older than Martin Luther King Jr. was when he gave his I Have a Dream speech. She has agency and is running the propaganda operation that serves to put people in concentration camps. She does not get a pass because she looks like a dipshit teenager.

Just made (separately) hard boiled eggs and garlic confit. Too bad I don’t like sauerkraut. I was so close to the hat trick for “overwhelming household aromas for the DIYer”

If you’re hiding in a catering truck when you control the most powerful military in the world, you aren’t winning.

…OpenAI humans were testing a security-breaking system; a "benign" system didn't just "decide" to hack. Humans gave sad system a set of instructions & goals; it did not "decide" to do anything. Humans connected it to the Internet & removed cybersecurity safeguards; it did not "escape containment." …

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

I cannot overstate how much I hate when people are dicks about babies crying in public (especially airplanes). Do you think the parent is having a good time right now?? Do you think they are not aware of the situation??? Are you going to negotiate with a literal infant????

Cheer up, USA. One of your soccer teams has won 4 World Cups.

Is Mini Mamdani in the room with us now

At DMV. A guy at one of the windows has paperwork issues (sounds very sketchy to me, and I don’t even work here) and keeps blaming it on “it was piss pouring raining that day” I hope the DMV person responded “Signatures are required on pissy days, too.”

I will not accept an argument that art and creativity have been uniquely democratised in the last few years since the invention of genAI. What a disservice to human history. How little regard you must have for the billions of souls that struggled through unimaginable suffering to express themselves.

The women have won four World Cups, but absolutely congratulations to the men for making it to the knockout round. Yes, this is a reminder that the USA has, in fact, won a World Cup — four of them. In case you heard otherwise.

All the best vibes to the person/entity/algorithm that caused the sacred garlic confit knowledge to cross my path Garlic parmesan risotto is my new favorite thing

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

i post this every year because men soaking in toxic masculinity are all “why can’t we get women” and Tom Holland dances in drag and lands one of the hottest women on the planet, maybe there’s a lesson here guys

💯

Military families are sounding the alarm about the presence of toxic mold in military housing. It’s an issue that has long been making service members and their families sick. Stephanie Sy reports on the ongoing problem and what is and isn’t being done to address it. https://to.pbs.org/4tEvmhc

#UkrainianView. One of the ways to define racism is: 1) when russia attacks dams, factories, AESs, ports and oil storage facilities in Ukraine - iti s called "war-related operations". 2) when Ukraine attacks factories and oil storages in russia - it is "ecocide and global society should react".🔽

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

Archaeologists in the Holy Land just uncovered a 3,000-year-old Israelite tablet… It reads: “Iran is only weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon.”

When a robber holds a whole bank hostage, but then decides to free them, he still goes to jail. Just saying.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

Spoiler: It's because he and his boss are racist and sexist pieces of shit

If the estimates were right, there were about 9 million people at No Kings rallies today. That would mean this protest was THIRTY TIMES AS LARGE AS THE TEA PARTY PROTEST which we were told, over and over again, was a massively important sign that US politics had shifted dramatically to the right

Attended a protest for the first time today. Someone must’ve organized a “drive your granny past the protest” event. So many beaming elderly woman waving at us. #nokings
