LRT because this always pisses me off: actually, the only place the "gates" of heaven are mentioned in the bible, after saying *all* the nations will enter them: "Its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. "

This Heritage guy is known for his brilliant hot takes. He means 1933 as in the year FDR became President...but still.

Playing ff7 remake 2 and barret is so much better in English than Japanese I'm switching back

leadership at my company: "DEI is no longer something we do. However, we still do it, we're just not going to call it that for obvious reasons"

It's probably the worst time in my life to be a researcher. My current government research job is fucked. University research is fucked. I want to sell my soul to industry even less than I normally do.

It was windy today and a pinecone fell on my head. I got home and realized I was bleeding lol

If the Democratic senators pass this CR I will be so fucking pissed

i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution

New—NASA Acting Administrator Janet Petro just sent an email to all staff letting them know the Office of Technology, Policy + Strategy, the Office of the Chief Scientist, + the DEI + Accessibility branch in the Office of Diversity + Equal Opportunity would all be closing. "Embrace the Challenge."

Big layoffs at work today, but in an unbelievably stupid way

Fun fact from reading the Talmud: urine is a subcategory of water

My thoughts on transgender athletes getting an unfair advantage--- you know what's truly unfair? Tall people playing basketball. Anyone over six feet should be banned.

From dust you have come, and to dust you shall return.

Had one of the most awkward conversations of my life. Guy asked who I was, I told him my name and that I'd let him before, he told me he is a terrible human being and asked me to tell him about myself, I had no idea what to say lol

I like how it's a major plot point in apothecary diaries that the emperor loves big boobs and that's the only reason he isn't a pedophile

The shadow president has a harem
