one of my favorite mussolini facts is he wanted everyone to use italianized names, so louis armstrong became luigi fortebraccio. if giorgia meloni tried this today we'd have musicians like: giustino lagotimbro, cinquanta centesimi, gambino infantile and mitragliatrice kelly

people don't jump and click their heels when they're excited anymore, without a heel click emoji it will be lost to time

now that the esports bubble has popped we're going to see more sponsors and teams that will prefer getting out of their contracts rather than deal with any drama

mango obviously fucked up and should face consequences for his actions, but c9 dropping him over this does not feel right, unless there is something else going on i'm not aware of?

catering to heat resistant voter bases helps in these sweltering nyc primaries

they should add a little sisyphus to the linear cycle graphs

is the green giant supposed to be roman coded with the toga and the ceasar haircut?

men like to gamble larger amounts against other people, women prefer smaller fixed bets against the house

remember nicknames like genocide joe and killer kamala? ive yet to hear any for trump despite being so much worse

still can't tell if we are really lucky that trump is so old and stupid, or really unlucky

it would be cool if someone invented a way to safely reduce the usual 9 month pregnancy time, even if it was just 5-10% shorter it would be such a valuable discovery for humankind

i like when characters never break character, like how L sits like this even on the toilet

they should dress up the ralph kramden statue outside of port authority for the holidays

i have never met a fan of the fantastic four, i dont understand how they've remained popular enough to keep pumping out reboots every few years

my gf went on exactly one date with a rationalist before we met and all she remembers was him talking about hpmor because she mentioned liking harry potter

i wonder if ancient greeks debated using customized cups for kottabos the same way people debate digital controllers and notches today

one benefit of never buying new clothes is people subconsciously think you look younger because they remember your appearance from back when you first met

i know someone who in the span of a week unironically changed their opinion from 'sabrina carpenter album cover is demeaning for women' to now saying it's ok and everyone should stop kink shaming her

if you're citing religious texts to help decide what countries to bomb you aren't qualified for government

assuming there's some baseline level of misogyny/misandry that will always exist, it's probably healthier for both to be present in all political movements, rather than having two parties bifurcated around disliking a whole gender

canonically, trump is lying that he owns a death note but is just refusing to use it out of principle. imagine how frustrated netanyahu must get in that universe.

wish might be one of the biggest casualties of COVID: was valued at $3B, turned down $10B offers from amazon and alibaba, and eventually sold last year for $173M

maybe the reason absurd humor is seeing a rise in popularity is because the population is collectively losing our attention spans, and if you're adhd enough, everything seems out of context and slightly funnier

i had my own personal twitch streamer on the train, i'd have tipped him a dollar if it was socially acceptable irl

i dont like that people keep trying to call prediction markets news, or a replacement for news. there should be a different term for what they are: a vibe signal, a meta-amalgamation of opinions and sources of various truth levels

isn't it wild that people tried to set up an exchange so movie studios could short their own bad movies but due to the mpaa protesting they decided to ban box office futures in the usa instead

video games train kids how to use cancel culture: they're fine being as edgy as possible to other teammates, but the minute someone else in the server starts attacking them they'll mass report for even the lightest offense and then relish in the free loot if they get banned

a democrat in the house of representatives was assassinated last night and all i see from maga online is mockery and glee, a movement built on this many lies and cruelty doesn't have the capacity to empathize or disavow, they'll continue to cheer on violence as long as it suits their needs

why do tissues need a new box every time, but we can get toilet paper and paper towels as refills? let me buy bulk tissues and put them in a box myself please, save yourself some cardboard

polymarket's marketing department has been getting increasingly unhinged for months so i'm not surprised this was their idea

as a bored child on a ferry during a family alaska trip, an old japanese lady saw me doing origami and we sat for the whole ride practicing, barely able to talk. it made her day that some random boy liked her hobby, and i learned some tricks i still use. also she gave me a cute glood luck frog charm

current predictions for what will be voted best out of context quote at manifest

one of my favorite ideas for carbon capture that i read about recently is trying to use olivine weathering reactions tldr - mine special rocks, grind up and mix with water, inject co2 gas into the slurry, then pump the mixture to the bottom of the ocean where it sits harmlessly

they give out awards now for posting too hard for too long

talking to a lot of smart people across different industries this weekend has definitely convinced me the chance of china taking action against taiwan is higher than I thought

if a hypothetical is too gross or uncomfortable for you, it doesn't make everyone else who is able to engage with it an immoral or worse person

goodnight manifest

master furry @tracewoodgrains.bsky.social hard at work

saw a man get his arm broken in an arm wrestling contest last night and i cant get the sound out of my head
