It’s profoundly ignorant to suggest that the Pope should be fighting crime on behalf of the Catholic Church. Anyone who was remotely familiar with Roman Catholicism would know that that’s what Daredevil is for

Huge congratulations to Hungary 🇭🇺 🎉🎉🎉

And great news for every neighbouring country that felt Orbán's malign influence.

They've done weekend meetings to sort all of this out. They've never done anything of the like to help the children they have made homeless. The only time they've shown any determination throughout the housing crisis was in making sure the evictions ban disappeared. This is unsustainable.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

I've run out of fairy tales that the toddler wants for bedtime stories so now it's the plots of Legend of Zelda games.

He honest to God asked for "a Link story".

I keep thinking that if climate protestors blockaded fuel depots or prevented health care workers from getting to work then they would be baton charged off the streets and there would be wall to wall media coverage about how that was a moderate and sensible thing to do.

Here's hoping Trump loses this war before our tank runs out.

*Of course the Iranian regime is a murderous tyranny. They are not however the party who started this war.

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

Basically, moose was borrowed into English from an Eastern Algonquian language after i-mutation happened.

So it didn't go though the mouse-mice, goose-geese, tooth-teeth, man-men mutations.

Look, I moderated a Harry Potter Livejournal community. I wrote a lot of Harry Potter fanfic (including a story about a major character being trans). I met a lot of my best friends because of Harry Potter. If I can give that shit up because the author is ACTIVELY WORKING TO KILL PEOPLE, so can you.

The first and last thing I’ll say about this whole HP series thing is that the best way to choke out an evil that still breathes is to deprive it of oxygen.

Don’t hate-watch it. Not even the trailer. Not even clips that pop up on TikTok. Don’t post about it.

Starve it. Make it irrelevant.

We need to bring back the ideal of masculinity focused on quiet self-sacrifice for the sake of others. Alpha shit is for losers. Be a man and humbly forgo the shit you want for years so you can provide for your family, you indulgent little wuss

Small note. Mass layoffs like these are also a tactic to devalue the work because workers become more desperate while companies create false scarcity.

Do not, ever, forget your worth. Don’t let them win.
You make this industry exist. They don’t.

I take some comfort that we replaced the sand early on as I wasn't keen on him potentially eating kinetic sand.

Still, not a great position to be in.

Just got an email that #SmythsToys is doing a recall on some sand-based play kits because of potential amounts of asbestos.

Please check if your or your loved ones have bought any of these.

I am understandably not best pleased that my toddler might have been exposed.

You'd think they'd AB test that and see that it would obviously lead to a drop in customer satisfaction. But no.
