I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

Is there a technical reason the papers keep writing forced labor vs slavery? I assume they just don't want to label the enslavers with an unduly harsh epithet, but there could be some distinction

PWHL please hire this person

Since Hamilton is the location of the original Tim Horton's restaurant, it would be cool if they named the PWHL team the Hamilton Bear Claws. I know they won't but it would be a subtle reference to the donut chain and also a companion name to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats CFL team.

My dad died a couple of years ago. I was looking at his old iPad today and I found a bunch of lovely family photos, but I can only see low-res thumbnails because his iCloud subscription lapsed. Are they gone forever? Can I ever get the full photos back?

Morning Joe just described some guy as a "fairly hawkish military historian". So, not one of the usual hippy-dippy they/thems obsessed with trench warfare?

If a Democrat said this, Republicans would demand they be flogged. Hakeem Jefferies would reluctantly agree, but specifically around a lack of decorum and absolutely not because the statement was wrong

Righteously argued essay here. Triangulation also demonstrates a fundamental lack of conviction and sincerity — once you do it you can’t get that credibility back with attentive voters.

"I am for the dignity and safety and equal rights of trans people everywhere. Fuck you. The end." "I do not believe you care about this issue. You are lying. In fact you're a straight up weirdo for fixating on kids' genitals so much. That is odd behavior. Let kids run around with their friends."

They all want to be the Oppenheimer of Death Star Ouija boards and that is not something you should want to be, even though it's a very silly fantasy

JK Rowling needs a password manager like 1Password because she can't handle complex characters

Sony says "reasonable consumers" know they don’t own the digital PlayStation games they buy. It argues that it's "not plausible" to suggest that when they buy a digital game they actually believe they're "obtaining ownership" of it. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/sony-sa...

The WNBA really needs to figure out that what’s happening isn’t a “free speech” issue about trans people but a concerted effort to destroy the cultural cache they’ve worked so hard to build. There is no difference between the anti-trans movement and the guys throwing dildos on the court.

You must fight the yen To tickle that wren And never pinch a finch Don’t be in a rush To fondle that thrush It only makes them flinch Hugging an owl Will cause it to scowl It makes them feel absurd So just have some grace And give them their space

You go through life thinking you don't want to hear from Ice T about boner pills, and you're right to not want that. Nobody should get that just dropped in their lap. That's like a _specialty_ specialty kink

Our scientists have discovered a 2nd continent: they're naming it pangea just made me absolutely furious. Come on, Sid Myers! ... and while I have your attention I really love civ6 even though I am still absolute trash at it

learning that the WNBA news cycle about trans people involves zero trans people feels like coming accross a cartoon dust cloud that dissipates to reveal there's only one guy in it kicking his own ass
