Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

"Double c double s and you'll soon see success!" — one of my coworkers out of nowhere one day, and now I cannot misspell success.

George Washington’s Woke Vaccines What the Founders would have thought about Pete Hegseth lifting the requirement that service members get the flu vaccine.

Hegseth's repeal of universal flu vaccines is nonsense on so many levels, but his claim vaccine mandates were an "era of betrayal" irked me as a historian. Here's my response, in @thebulwark.com this morning;

Everyone is reporting the family annihilation in Mississippi as if it was a mass shooting. It's not a mass shooting — a family annihilator has a totally different psychology.

I can't help anyone who is so indoctrinated that they really think the world is shitty because it has to be that way. It so clearly doesn't. We're not even talking about political activity in the world. We're talking a basic foundation to be able to say, this shit's not right, it could be better.

As someone who works in a data center that is correctly zoned as industry and next to the expressway, I just want to note that once a data center has been set up, it provides ~12 local jobs so at any given time there's usually 3-6 people in the building total.

The news: “now there are concerns data centers are gonna be attacked”

lol and??? Nobody asked any of us if we wanted data centers built next to our residential neighborhoods. so as far as I’m concerned, maybe you should’ve asked the people first. I hope they all fail. fuck those data centers

Nazis are fair game. Period.

"should we really resort to playing dirty to defeat the nazis i–"

yes. kick em in the fucking balls. what kind of question is that. grow the fuck up

"…but the more absolute his power…the more he is the prisoner of his own trap. ...He cannot wander at leisure in the streets and parks of his own capital, or sit on a lonely beach listening to the waves and watching the gulls. Through enslaving others he himself becomes the most miserable of slaves.

"They think they can achieve happiness if they just leave the earth or leave society or find an immortality potion."

Not to get all spiritual, but this is an excellent description of hell. They're in literal hell.

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

You can’t do that to rural voters! What are they, black people? bsky.app/profile/coll...

My brain refuses to believe I ever found facebook fun, but I distinctly remember enjoying it.

European friend asked how I'm able to afford living in America and I said "easy, I'm boycotting everything" and then I ate a single grape.

If am insurance company denies a claim as medically unnecessary and then is forced by a medical board to reverse that position, their consulting physical should lose their license and the company should be fined 50x the cost of the procedure.

saying that charlie brown had "hoes" is like saying that temple of aphrodite at corinth had "hoes". what was happening there was within its own cultural context, and we should be careful about describing it in modern language

The cover of "Modern Dragons: The Art of Devin Elle Kurtz" features dragons soaring through a city at sunrise, among skyscrapers. Ember from "The Bakery Dragon" flies in front of a titanic dragon in the distance.

"Modern Dragons" is live on Kickstarter now!

"Finding the smallpox to be spreading much and fearing that no precaution can prevent it from running thro’ the whole of our Army, I have determined that the Troops shall be inoculated." -George fucking Washington

This is the honest for-real thing that an actual judge should actually do. That which is presented without reason should be dismissed without reason.

Also retroactively abolish qualified immunity as being devoid of legal basis ab initio.

Youve Been Passed The Virtual Joint!

congratulations!

I coughed until I threw up then I sat on the couch and watched Interview With the Vampire. I had some candy. Life changing shit.

palantir should be viewed as the enemy of modern society

I said it before and I'll say it again:

Giving a pack of Epstein associates a comprehensive list of all children in the country with home address and school listed, sortable by various traits that indicate vulnerability to exploitation, is the literal diametric opposite of keeping kids safe.

Pennsylvania's motor-voter system effectively screens non-citizens from voter registration • Pennsylvania Capital-Star The audit also revealed problems with PennDOT’s data security protocols and recommended tighter internal controls.

Pennsylvania's auditor general, a Republican, audited 210,000+ new voter registrations under Gov. Shapiro's new motor voter system to see if noncitizens were registering to vote.

They found one. One.

And that was because a PennDOT staffer erred. It was fixed before the driver left the office.

You absolutely SHOULD NOT go around telling people that data centers are full of gold, silver, palladium, copper, and that the data centers are almost entirely unstaffed.

The Rip 2: Still Jacking It

Yes, Israel is destroying Lebanon's breadbasket. This is why I have been saying that Israel's goal is to destroy Lebanon itself.
