I want every child to have as much food as they need for free and be vaccinated against fatal diseases. If that makes me a crazy radical, then so fucking be it.

Armaldo's prehistoric savings compounded enough to hire a PR team... it's working. Put them in charge of ocean conservation. They'll roll back the clock approx. 100,000,000 years

Got an early Christmas present, the #dwarffortress desk mat, and now I must strike the earth!

A gentle gesture of hope, luck and beauty for the holidays and coming new year. (Mus musculis and Comvallaria majalis. )

I love how people think those little cheese knives are for serving cheese, like awwww that's cute no those are for *defending* your cheese, trust no one

My milk frother also heats as it froths, and I've discovered that if I add in powdered chocolate, I can make a delightfully frothed hot chocolate in under a minute. This is dangerous knowledge for a man of my considerable appetites and wild, hedonistic disposition

Good morning, Bluesky Friends! 🗽💙 🌊

Yep. Through a combination of factors, not least the electoral college, control of the Presidency comes down to the vibes of <500,000 voters with incoherent policy preferences and who would fail basic tests about candidates' platforms, the economy, who does what in government, etc.

Any time we see another CEO pony up a million for Trump’s inauguration, remember this headline.

People with homes are so rarely cold at night that I just don’t think homes are necessary anymore.

We MUST keep vaccines. have you written your Senator to let them know?

My parents: "The REAL problem with our political system is the billionaires have so much power and use their lobbyists to buy politicians!" Me: "But... you voted for a billionaire who campaigned with other billionaires?" Parents: *Blue screen* They are like SO close to getting it. SO CLOSE.

Nunu became a star this month #warhammercommunity #warhammer

Can confirm.

I've been failing at reading some difficult books all the way through lately and realized my attention span is shot. The natural reaction is, of course, to start reading through the most pretentious books I own with the same stubbornness I possess when brute forcing a souls game with K&M.

I don’t take credit for this meme, but I do co-sign.

people like Dark Souls because they can relate to waking up from a long nap and finding out the whole world is fucked

If you're going to post screenshots from Twitter it should exclusively be stuff like this instead of stuff that makes people mad

I have news…that place where you got food poisoning is probably not where you got the food poisoning. Time between exposure and symptoms: Campylobacter: 2-6 days E. coli: 2-5 days Salmonella: 6 hrs-6 days Norovirus: 12-48 hrs Shigella: 1-3 days Staph aureus: fast Listeria: 9-48 hrs

Started up a modded playthrough of Skyrim a few days ago, and WOW it's improved from my last attempt pre-special edition. Gotta go back to filling up my museum now with Inigo and Remi now

Some Deep Thoughts from Deep Space.

Imagine the world if we’d been willing to learn from COVID… What if we’d embraced WFH to slow climate change? What if we’d installed filtration systems in public buildings to reduce the spread of illness? What if we’d demanded disability justice re long COVID? A better world is still possible.

Skyrim is a cozy game. Can’t change my mind on that. It’s now cozy Skyrim season.

Good. It’s horrific how other platforms abused their reach to strangle local, independent, and national outlets alike. I WANT to see news and actual vetted work and I WANT journalists to get rewarded for it. Because I want to live in a thinking human world over some AI generated slop dystopia

The core message of feminism is not "men are evil." In a nutshell, it's: —male supremacy is a real and old system of violent power —its foundation is in the family/home/community which can make it seem invisible —it disciplines and informs every other power system in the world

This type of behaviour is going to have a chilling effect on the scientific and research community. Already funding and time are critical challenges that need to be overcome in tackling these critical issues and now the powers that will be, will seek to cut funds, and try and silence the field.

Trump is targeting trans people in order to teach his followers how to bully and hate.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

There is a metaphor here somewhere

does it blow anyone else’s mind that both voyager spacecraft are still functioning and communicating with earth after almost 50 years of being in space and years of being in interstellar space??

im retiring from public life for a week to spend time on my farm and spouse, elliot, in the strange yet cozy town of stardew valley, the only place i wanna be

When I was 5, I loved science, which I took to be planets and magnets and chemicals and shit. Soon I realized science was a collective human activity, and these were just the objects of its attention. Anyway, whenever I read an OpEd on how science isn't political, I think "Are you 5 years old?"

I'M ALIVE!!! Fuck you, Schrödinger!

That's the thing. None of you are civil. You voted for mass death and human oppression. You are the party of "your body, my choice." It is impossible to have a conversation with those who want you dead. We're not falling for these crocodile tears, puppy. Go back to Twitter.

I have never had an original experience. I was introduced to Sriracha a couple of months ago, and I now own bottles. I think it can compete with my sugar cravings now.

The golden Nunu vs his traitorous son, also Nunu
