I try to catch myself before posting negativity

I like basketball courts when they look like wood floors

Extremely chilling for bsky Alf hog discourse

When they report their symptoms to GEO or medical staff, they are told simply to “gargle with salt water.” This is in no way an effective treatment for TB, especially when their regular drinking water smells and tastes bad, and comes out of the taps in different colors.

New Sumerian myth just dropped

🐭 A mouse tried to steal a whole loaf of bread from a Russian soldier

In the 1960's people were worried about communists destroying America. Nope. Destroying America is a job for Americans. No one does it better. God bless the USA.

That's... illegal.

Two neighbors live less than 2,000 feet apart. One pays up to $500/month for electricity. The other averages $130. One has investor-owned National Grid. The other by a municipal utility. @popovichn.bsky.social and I dug into America’s widening power bill divide: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

I spoke a bit about Matthew Shepard over the weekend in person to some folks, but I didn't want to let the anniversary of his death — October 12, 1998 — pass by without giving a moment to him and his memory here.

Columbus Day celebrates a myth built on Indigenous erasure. Today, the fight to erase us continues in schools, media, and our lands. But we’re still here. Indigenous Peoples’ Day honors our survival, resistance, and sovereignty. My latest for @truthout.org: truthout.org/articles/ind... #indigisky

Trump：The ART of The DEAL Strikes Iran. Oil price goes up. Buy Oil from Russia. Russia funds Iran.

Shipping Tanker ETF going parabolic 📈 📈 Uh Oh

"10 and a half months. You guys can do the math." [Yes, I am taking this out of context but it's still funny.]

U.S. suspends Microsoft, Adobe from green-card labor program in foreign worker crackdown

Whoa, these were two of the biggest H1-B sponsors!!! A third tho is Oracle... Which is NOT being punished this way, guess why?

Dobropillia. Over 28 thousand people used to live here. They worked, loved, built homes, dreamed, raised children... Now it's all gone. It's just another Ukrainian town Russia erased.

GRAND THEFT AUTO 2

My ex-husband is one of the rapists at Aella’s simulated rape orgies that John Wentworth, Nate Soares, and I’ve heard Eliezer Yudkowsky also attended. He was an emotionally abusive partner and, until I left EA/rationality, he used the cult to keep me trapped. Journalists please DM.

School’s out. Got inspired by buddy of mine’s work and found myself putzing around with an Insta360 action cam in role of a wide angle, urban/street camera. Not typically the type of device I’d use and not the focal lengths I’d use the most either. Can’t complain though - this little thing is fun.

Altadena 💔 Aftermath of Eaton Canyon fire. Altadena, CA. January 8, 2025 Photos taken by me

Silwa had his goons randomly assault a non-white guy on the streets of New York on live television.

"I'm supposed to be tough. What happens if I faint?"- here's fun footage of Curtis Sliwa & Mayor Mamdani getting their flu shots together, including Mamdani offering to hold Sliwa's hand 😆 (Sliwa takes him up on it!) (Flu season is approaching and NYers can find free flu shots at nyc.gov/healthmap)

I really like how this normalizes too that it's OK to be afraid of getting shots, and still get them.

"I'm supposed to be a tough guy," Curtis confided. "I can hold your hand," the mayor offered "What happens if I faint?" Sliwa asked. "I've got you," Mamdani assured him, grabbing his hand as Sliwa received his flu shot. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-may...

wonderful reminder of the funniest dynamic of the mayoral race, where sliwa clearly liked mamdani and was delighted to see him humiliate cuomo also, more politicians should do this! get your flu shots!

Salty seas get saltier and world ocean more acidic as heatwaves bring ‘profound change’ ft.trib.al/e5oRq5R

there are no worthwhile qualities of fraternities, full stop. when they're not busy raping women and defending their rapist members they abuse and kill new members for fun. colleges have proven they cannot be made safe or reformed. the only reasonable policy at this point is banning all of them.

The Star Spangled Banner being played by the Mariachi Herencia de Mexico band before the Bears-Eagles game in Chicago on Monday Night Football was a deeply cool thing to see tonight

I don’t think banning (traditional) frats will magically “fix” anything overnight—and there’s a lot it doesn’t address. But when so much SA is centered around one specific area of campus life, it’s worth taking about #cornell

Are you talking about the rapist Brock Allen Turner, now going by Allen Turner and living in Ohio? Because Allen Turner is the rapist formerly known as Brock Turner.
