I really need NASA to come out with a hat with the Artemis mission patch on it.

Remember how he said Covid would be over by Easter?

That’s the “two to three weeks” stuff he was saying last night. Same stuff.

if you don’t like the process of writing then don’t be a fucking writer, it’s not that complicated

The very aggressive marketing of “dietary supplements” to healthy people by the supplement industry (an industry that was worth around $200 billion last year) is a scam

The new thing is landlords using ai photos for their property listings. Totally legal. Total scam.

The whole economy is oil and scams.

If you feel you can speak up, do. Goodyear didn't know about the problem with Myhrvold, because many reporters aren't specialists who'd even know to look.

It's not always safe to say something, but, where possible, it's so important to talk about what's happening if we're going to change it.

It is the anniversary of the My Lai massacre today. I'd say that even more than most years, it's important to remember what happened.

And the role Hugh Thompson, an active serviceman, played in both stopping and publicising it. Despite enormous military, political and public pressure to stay quiet.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Thursday said House Democrats will demand that ICE be banned from the use of tactical nuclear weapons without a judge's order.

being a writer is amazing because one hour you can have a spiraling existential crisis and the next you can write 500 words like nothing happened 🙃

‘Abolish ICE’ has become an increasingly popular position and people are being shot in the streets over it why the fuck would you dillweeds roll over like this. Especially given that citizenship is much more friable than people think it is this is not as protective as dems want it to look.

A six-panel comic titled "Wildlife Tracking Tips". In panel 1, the text says "A white-tailed deer traveled through here," and there are white-tailed deer prints in fresh snow. In panel 2, the text says "An American Red Squirrel came by," and the leap marks of a red squirrel are in the snow. In panel 3, the text says "A Snowshoe Hare passed through," and there are the distinctive fluffy-footed marks from a snowshoe hare jumping across the snow. n panel 4, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare found a sword," and one of the front paw marks in the track has been replaced with a long thin line running alongside the track. In panel 5, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare is dual wielding," and both front paw marks have been replaced with long thin lines. In panel 6, the text says "The Snowshoe Hare tamed a mount, vastly increasing its jumping distance. You should run," and the Snowshoe Hare trail runs into a deer track and disappears.

Wildlife tracking tips. A wintry comic from last year.

Movies aren’t always meant to be shunted into categories of like and don’t like. If you leave the theater or press “exit” and you’re thinking “Ok I don’t know about some of that, I have thoughts,” congratulations you’re engaging with art! Its own special thing.

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I've noticed this. A lot.

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

This group of teenagers behind me is discussing their favorite brands of water and I’m just wondering when this generation became septuagenarians

This Thanksgiving remember the cranberry sauce, but forget the Marijuana. Terry was convinced to take a "toke" of a joint with his friend "just to relax". Immediately after, Terry killed his friend who had given him the marijuana in a murderous craze. Not so safe, is it? Marijuana. Not Even Once. Ad Council

remember, folks,

It feels really performative at this point, but a reminder that it’s National Day of Mourning for Native folks

Relatedly, thousands of Native women are still disappearing and agencies are doing fuck all about it

Absolutely wild. She was 8 when she entered the country. An unjust system is to blame here.

Audience culture is the worst it's ever been, I swear to god. People forgot how to act. I'm at the theater, trying to enjoy my show, which I've paid GOOD MONEY for, and these two old assholes are in the balcony heckling the life out of the poor bear onstage. Not letting him finish a single joke.

I miss the era of when shows had so many episodes they would have to do holiday episodes.

You're told it'll sabotage your career if you're a vocally politically opinionated, queer, woman. But things sabotaging my career are systemic xenophobia, sexism, and horrible job market. Which are a direct consequences of people not being vocally opinionated in the first place.

Okay, so you cannot avoid a Thanksgiving event, and it’s not entirely under your control. You’re home from college, you live with your parents, your spouse isn’t ready to process how awful their natal family is. It happens. THERE ARE STRATEGIES YOU CAN EMPLOY TO YOUR BENEFIT.

Ah, I'm awake again. Time to open the psychological harm app
