A team of geneticists have determined why we are orange. It’s because some boring parts of our DNA got holes in it so the awesome can shine out. At least that’s my interpretation

i'm still seeing it on their xitter page (i don't have an account, so i'm seeing whatever the average joe sees).
screenshot of an email, with official social security administration logo at the top. headline in large text reads, "national slam the scam day, march 6, 2025," followed by regular text reading, "On National Slam the Scam Day and throughout the year, we give you the tools to recognize Social Security-related scams and stop scammers from stealing your money and personal information." there is an uneven, hand-drawn yellow circle around "stealing your money and personal information."
got this email from the SSA a few days ago. includes a link to report a scam to the SSA OIG. soooo, should i wait until march 6 to report the unauthorized theft of my personal information and potentially of my funds, or should i get the ball rolling now?
Beaker as Renee Zellweger on the cover of Harper’s bazaar.
i’m just photoshopping muppets onto the cover of harper’s bazaar: thread
note: do you want to give your completely made-up-out-of-thin-air jury-rigged project an air of legitimacy? call it a "proof-of-concept."
i was doing phase 1 of a, uh, proof-of-concept project, nit-pickily measuring some pieces of paperboard, marking and cutting them, laying them out, assembling. and one didn't fit. cuz i never actually CUT it after marking the lines. so, like, "measure twice, cut none"?
Elon’s estranged daughter has re-entered the chat
my friend in finland shared this, and perhaps folks here will find some solace in it, as well.
username squiddleprincess offers: asexual pickup lines hey baby, are you a firework? because you're breathtakingly beautiful, but i don't want you anywhere near my genitals. username antleraptor-art replies: oh my sweet zombie jesus, this is beautiful.
i just finished binging a true-crime series called 'cabin in the woods,' soooo, either i'm about to be rescued by some observant detectives, or by a bunch of deranged killers.
Evergreen post lede: Seth Moulton is full of it.
I had no idea of her background!
...i was almost done reading this before i realized, "wait, this *isn't* a horror prompt?? like, this is a real-life brand, and a real-life product??"
A white cluster of puffball mushrooms on the forest floor, little spikes and nubs on them.
Puffball mushrooms, like these I found on my walk today, are of the genus lycoperdon, which is a word composed of lyco- meaning wolf, and -perdon meaning fart. Wolf-fart mushrooms are their SCIENCE name. This factoid will nestle your brain until you repeat it to someone someday. You’re welcome
it doesn't so much 'nestle' in my brain, as waft gently through, like a small cloud of methane on an autumn breeze.
12:39am, quick scroll before i get ready for bed... welp, guess i know what's gonna be in -tonight's- nightmare.

Couch created as part of an IKEA Pride installation in 2021, each depicting a different lgbtq+ identity. This particular couch is meant to celebrate being bisexual, but instead comes off as terrifying. The couch is covered in hands, in the colors of the bi pride flag, and includes the text “when you change OR to AND nobody believes you”
Happy Bi Visibility Day to the IKEA bisexual nightmare couch
My autocorrect brings all the toys to the yarn and their light, damn bike it’s letter than hours, yam sight it’s wetter than bars
(i think partly due to someone conflating the different meanings of 'asexual') they are kind of a mascot for the ace community. i might have gotten a shirt with one on it...
