I think Jane Austen is probably the Roman Empire for most women.

The DoD now has more money than it knows what to do with.

Imagine if we spent that money on healthcare or housing instead.

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom.” -MLK

Not an original thought, I’m sure, but is there a Democratic think tank compiling a Project 2029? Because if not, there fucking should be.

The grift that keeps on grifting.

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

I can see how it would probably be in poor taste, but I would really enjoy a #powerwashsimulator level set in an empty Jurassic Park. Blood everywhere, obviously, but also maybe a trash bag to pick up severed human limbs.

I’m just a girl
standing in a grocery store
wondering where I can find some tahini.

If only there was some sort of organization system, like… a library of some sort? @hankgreen.bsky.social

Reading @lindaholmes.bsky.social “Back After This” and there’s a single line halfway through the book discussing two basset hounds, owned by a lawyer and named Frolic and Detour.

These are excellent lawyery dog names. Well done madam.

Paul is an excellent straight man. Also can we discuss what a baller move by Hank to wear white pants and then say, “yeah I do shit myself publicly from time to time” 🤣

And yeah, we should absolutely implement the Chewy Decimal System.

Catching up on Smartypants Society on @dropout.tv and unhinged Hank Green is still one of my favorites.

Screen grab of Bill from King of the Hill is a flower shirt and sun hat. The poster of the photos says it is the only big beautiful bill he supports

This is a big beautiful Bill I support

This is how new stars are formed.

can you connect delta and Easter to tuberculosis?

This is all so HELPFUL.
THANK YOU

As a 35F who has never fenced before (BUT ALWAYS WANTED TO) any recommendations for how to start?

This series has been on my TBR for, like, ever. I gotta make time for it.

Ah, sorry. With the new tariffs we can’t afford to play the German one anymore.

For any weird #adlaw fans, CAFC’s recent In Re: Forest decision walks you through some statutory interpretation and reads like an exam answer. So if you need to study for your Administrative Law final, this is a good one.

This is so cool, how you’ve made pixel art look impressionistic.

Is this heaven?

Got my signed copy of #everythingistuberculosis. I can’t tell if this is blue, navy, or intergalactic indigo.
It LOOKS blue though so I’m going with blue.

This is the good news I needed to get through my day

Kitty Cutty! Or sword dragon with removable chunk of swords in mouth.

It only took me one week of intense reading on SubStack to realize… it’s just Xanga with algorithms.

Repeating myself, but the idea of Trump & Musk as "masculine" remains bizarre. They're just the toxic and immature parts with none of the traditional "masculine" virtues. They're whiny, entitled, unreliable, dishonest, self-absorbed, never take responsibility, never put duty over self-interest, etc.

You either die a hero or you play football long enough that everyone roots for the Eagles to crush you and ruin your record (See also, Super Bowl 52)

Eagles are the hero we need right now
