If you think about it, it’s really those wars’ fault he signed up with Blackwater and got a nazi tattoo

I know it's a silly jokey joke, but people REALLY need to stop anthropomorphizing their boyfriends. "My boyfriend told me" your boyfriend didn't "tell" you anything. "My boyfriend thinks..." your boyfriend can't actually think or feel; just output a convincing simulation of it based on probability 🙄

We aren’t lucky enough to have that problem OceanGate itself away

This may be the oldest ‘butthole’ imprint on Earth Fossils show exceptionally rare evidence of a cloacal vent—the slit that most vertebrates use to excrete, have sex and lay egg—which could shed light on the evolution of the orifice

Hey @caldy.bsky.social look at this 300 million year old vent

This is one of the curlers on the USA Paralympic curling team and I told him today that he should post about his Paralympic experience on BlueSky because people on BlueSky get very excited whenever anybody doing anything cool in the world posts through it on BlueSky instead of other websites

Aircraft are easy to replace. Pilots are where the real value lies

It’s like nobody has read Sartre

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

Fired for the temerity of wanting to go around Dear Leader’s will (executive orders that don’t hold up to legal challenge)

"As a marginalized group we’re used to these things, and we’re used to going around them and finding ways around. I think it’s so important, more than ever, to still uplift and celebrate our students."

That's it.
That's the statement.

Again, you’re missing the point. Primary school mathematics doesn’t teach the mundane basic skills necessary to practice mathematics, and the fact that you keep coming back to that assumption makes me suspect your math education doesn’t go beyond sophomore level coursework

Nah, it’s more as if a “literature” course required memorizing times tables and punctuation symbols, then tested handwriting. The problem isn’t the value of those skills. The problem is that the course content isn’t literature.

It’s the exactly correct scale to use. USAID cuts alone put them beyond Pol Pot, maybe 1/3 of the way to Mao

Exhibit A will read something like “Lady brains need to be good at patterns so they can pick berries and weave. Man brains need to be good at 3d so they can hunt with spears”
