I'm entering my normie era (going home and watching TV instead of getting online).

Growing up means realizing the captain from Monk also played buffalo bill

this is how you get across to people that the wholesale destruction of the federal government is hurting them even if they don't work for the government you like camping? fuck you, you don't get to go camping because nobody can staff the campgrounds and you make it very clear whose fault it is

Trump long egg

The U.S. spends A LOT of money on golf, and not just for Donald Trump's trips to the links... Read @nickturse.bsky.social's story: interc.pt/4kQBQWa 📹 @jordanuhl.com

I've been enjoying taking pictures as I've been running around the city lately. So much so that I'm considering buying a camera just so I don't drain my phone battery.

I'm pretty sure Chevy Chase is on the same architecture tour as me.

Be prepared

Honestly this describes my feelings about things going wrong at work. If three things go wrong in lab I'm just going home early, because nothing is getting better.

Every time I have to deal with IT in person I come away looking like the biggest idiot. I tried the same thing 3 times when they were talking to me over email and the phone, but when one of them walks into the room then it starts working.

Newsome looks like he's perpetually doing cosplay of Rodger Sterling from mad men

there he is

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Hi, sharks - I'm Jaws and today's my birthday. It'd mean a lot if you share this so people can find me and potentially support what I do <3 🖼️ www.jawsstone.com 👛 patreon.com/jaws_stone 💸 ko-fi.com/jaws_stone 🎙️ @theartofpod.bsky.social 🔞 @only-jaws.bsky.social 📼 twitch.tv/jaws_stone

I know it's been well disproven that these people aren't actually good at computers, but I would think they would be able to conduct more accurate searches than this. High schoolers could figure out how to only search for the specific strings they want.

I have my mind set on the next RPG I want to run, but actually sitting down to do the work on it has been so hard. Normally I love world building, but for some reason I've been hitting a block lately. I just want to be playing instead of doing all of the prep for it.

An underrated part of this video is you can watch the Dow go down in real time in the bottom right

Okay, nerds, buckle in! It's time for some SCIENCE. Back in the late 1960s, a scientist got some government funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the Atomic Energy Commission to look for interesting bacteria living in extreme environments. 1/x

The National Academies remained silent about the destruction of American science. They did nothing for the scientists comprising their membership They calculated that they would be spared if they didn't make themselves a target. They will not be spared. www.foxnews.com/politics/str...

White Fox Watching the Migration❄️

Once or twice a year I decide I should get back into MTG so I boot up arena. It only takes a few games playing against alchemy cards to remind me why I uninstalled. They're one of the worst things they've done to the game, and if you don't want to play with them it locks you out of half the modes.

Thank Zenithar it's Fredas

Had too big of a lunch now I just want to sleep instead of work.

For those who haven’t seen this MASTERPIECE in person yet, it is meant to be viewed from 3 angles: From below: map of CTA network From side: picture of bus From front: picture of train

New — HHS just got another email with guidance stating that they aren’t required to respond to the 5 bullets email, but if they do they should follow specific guidelines including: “Assume that what you write will be read by malign foreign actors and tailor your response accordingly.”

I spent the entire weekend reading the entire from the ashes reboot of all the X-Men series, and they're pretty good. I need to jump into other marvel series, but I never know where to start if there's not a big jumping in point like that event.

I like that the pwhl is taking hits to the head seriously, but sometimes they seem a bit too touchy about it. For a lot of these hits it seems completely accidental that the head got touched, which seems wrong to give a game misconduct for.

I'm considering buying a Frost jersey, but then that would make a full third of my clothes hockey related. I don't know if I'm ready to have a wardrobe that much like Kevin Smith.

under communism there will be a train that goes from my house to every desitination that is personally convenient to me and runs on exactly the schedule i need it to and also nobody ever makes eye contact with me while i'm riding it

I'm excited for the pwhl expansion, but also a torn about it. It's likely that Chicago or Detroit will get a team. If I was just getting into the league I'd pick them, but I would feel bad jumping ship from Minnesota.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

I'm at a car show, and I'm noticing a district lack of motocompo

It should be against the law to have a tasty smelling breakfast sandwich on the train when I personally didn't have time to eat breakfast.
