old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Drat! Got slack with having spare t.p. multipacks. We're slightly low now and the possibility of a cyclone means the shops very much have lockdown day vibe. No eggs, long life milk, t.p., bread. We'll probably last a few days? Just?

Everywhere I’ve ever been, you could always just walk in whatever bathrooms there were. It’s not like they card at the door. The social stigma against being a creepy pest is all that ever stopped you, and that doesn’t change because trans people exist and need to use the bathroom sometimes.

New goal for today: browse and download as many recipes as possible and cancel NYT. Mainly, I'll miss spelling bee as I don't usually go to the archives of the other games anyway.

A German word for being embarrassed by the actions of someone else is Fremdscham, or “foreign shame.” A similar word from Icelandic is aulahrollur, which is quite tricky to translate but basically means something along the lines of “cringe quake” or “douchebag chills”

One thing you will never think after reading a great book or listening to a great album or seeing a great piece of art is, “I’m really glad this person remained cautious while they were making this and guarded against being perceived as weird.”

I argued that a 'cumulative run rate' graph for cricket one days did tell me who batted first because the team who won by 30 runs would have stopped earlier if they were batting second. Was marked wrong because the words about who batted first were not written on the graph. I was sent to the Dean.

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.

One hot college girl with gothy vibes loudly asking that someone explain crypto and then feigning interest would paralyse Elon's entire coup for months... ... but we can't in good concience ask anyone to make that great a sacrifice.

When protestors uttered the slogan “defund the police” the national media had a massive freak out. But now that Trump wants to actually gut the FBI and (it would seem) illegally fire 1000s of people who work there, the same media sees it as a curiosity, a dull bureaucratic matter.

I hate the model of shein and temu but it would be funny if the thing that finally caused a whole bunch of people to wake up to Trump is their slave-labour-environment-destroying orders not being delivered

Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.

Just heard about the news out of Queensland. Hormone therapy, from puberty onwards, is safe, rigorously evidence-based, life saving medicine that results in higher quality of life, lower rates of depression and anxiety, and a direct reduction in deaths for trans and gender diverse people.

the world they want is one where you're either unemployed or work an almost no wage job, you have almost no political input or self determination and you’re happy about it because you can get a t-shirt off temu for a $1

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

In January 2021, during the third national lockdown, I pulled into this deserted pub car park to turn the van round and found a lamppost and a bin engaged in lively conversation while they thought no one was looking. Incredible.
