Things I have inadvertently stockpiled: food - yea, like regular food, not prepper food, bc I have enough money and a fear of not having enough food (thanks childhood) and then COVID shortages hit (ooo, that made it worse)

Things I have inadvertently stockpiled: ice cream computer parts refills for the wrong pen masks

I do good for a couple of months, chip away at the pantry overflow that on the floor and the freezer that can’t fit anything else but then a life stressor hits on top of another one and another and then I’m at the grocery store panicking that I can’t feed my family (except…)

This is why you google “(recipe) nytimes cooking” and fond some blogger who references it. Yes, you have to wade thru a dumbass story and 60 ads but you get the recipe.

Black cat day - my void used to hate everyone but me and the teen pictured, then about 2 yrs ago, he started loving everyone except my cat loving other teen. Definitely not a lap cat but demands pets (a lot) by petting you first.

Gut punch of a story about an Amazon engineer who trusted ChatGPT-4o to manage and reduce her seizure med dosages. You'd hope someone who made it into a top engineering position would have known the limits of AI circa May 2024 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/w...

You can do the same thing, buying a house and borrowing against it—ha ha, just kidding, normal people get taxed annually on their wealth via property taxes, the "you can't tax wealth, the economy will collapse!" rule applies solely to the super-rich.

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

Serbia’s students turned disaster into defiance, grief into solidarity, and less than two years of resistance into victory. They built something new. They broke a grip on power that seemed unbreakable. Let this travel far beyond Serbia: Power is not permanent. Hope is not foolish.

The people of Serbia celebrating the defeat of the dictator who held full authoritarian control of their country for nearly 14 years. This is what democracy looks like.

A new survey of 1,000 American adults found that the strongest supporters of transgender sports bans are not the people who admire women most: they are the people who hold the most hostile views about women. www.helenwebberley.com/news/transge...

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

The list goes on and on, but THIS is science for the public good. This is our tax dollars at work to make the world a better plan and address some of our most difficult challenges ✊🏼❤️ THIS is why we are standing up for science and democracy.

Apparently, being mean to white people makes them turn into racists and that liberals are the new racists because of this. Per a commercial I just saw. As a liberal white person, I am thoroughly confused.

Three years ago, my dad said that all fish are the same shape. Out of spite, I decided to draw all 478 families of bony fish listed in Nelson 2016. There's still some stuff I need to edit and some fish I want to redraw but, after 985 days, I finished my big dumb fish project last night.
