As much as I enjoy the music it doesn’t sit right with me that Maynard James Keenan picked the name “tool” because that word was name for an idiot to him and he wanted to see it on t-shirts because he hated his fans before they existed.

Today in being a nerd whilst writing military sci-fi: You can estimate gravitation with a lighter because the behavior of the flame tells you how much the gravity is pulling down. Obviously, be VERY FUCKING CAREFUL on vessels & stations because you don't know the atmospheric mix.

This book doesn't really do anything new per se but it does its genre extremely well with well-imagined characters, fun banter, interesting plots and the main character's "Fuck it sure, why not?" approach to well... life is quite fun.

Once again, blocking people who you have never directly engaged with is at the same time 1. good self care 2. fucking stupid.

...shouldn't the Knights of Columbus have changed their name by now? Or is it a different Columbus that we wouldn't want to throw into the Chesapeake Bay?

So if you're using a sponge and leave it in the sink and forget and then accidentally pour some broth in the sink and forget do you have to list ramen broth as part of the medium?

Stephen Miller is privately raging over deportation numbers he deems too low. So he's shifting huge amounts of law enforcement resources away from fighting serious crimes and into his immigration crackdown. If voters knew about this, they'd recoil. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1961...

Bluesky is now deleting the accounts of the people I know on the ground in Gaza, including my dear friend Tasneem. These are real people who rely on our direct donations to eat and survive during the aid blockade. Please give to Tasneem and help others if you can. www.gofundme.com/f/help-tasne...

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
