I want to make sure everyone knows that "plastic production" includes your clothes. Polyester, nylon, "synthetic," are all basically plastic fibers, made from oil. And every time you wash those polyester clothes they release microplastics into the water!
My family was never big on church, but when my friend's youth group leaders grilled me & prayed over me for 1/2 an hour while refusing to let me leave, making it clear they thought this straight-A, never-in-detention kid was "bad" just because I didn't go to their church... that was a nope from me.
Screenshot of a photo imbedded in the Huffington Post article. The photo caption states "Right-wing influencer Jake Lang carries a goat during a protest organized by the influencer on March 7, 2026 in New York City." And yeah, the dude is just carrying a goat wearing a doggie harness, with a big old weird smile on his face.
Literally wtf
Literally when we were lucky enough to buy our house in 2018 one of the comments I made was "well, when the economy crashes again we can refinance at a lower rate."
I hate that my Milennial pessimism was correct.
Ditto for NE-adjacent Upstate NY. It's like they're not even trying to look for directional signs, road markings, or aware that anyone else is on the road anymore.
Two important pieces of my lore are: 1. no matter what new city I am in, someone will ask me for directions (prob bc of my librarian vibes) 2. I am frequently, and I mean at least 12-15x in my adult life and counting, mistaken for a mannequin (cause still unknown).
UPDATE: she hated it.
Guys, I don't think my therapist would like this very much.
Good. Put all the little AI "actors" on a server together, and they can create their own little movie universe all on their own, doing their oen little thing, and none of us have to think about or engage with it.
And then we can unplug it.
I was right! They changed the dates in 2007, but it was to test out how it affected energy consumption. Results seem mixed...

Am I crazy, or did we move the time change at one point like 15 years ago? I feel like Standard Time used to start earlier in the fall and last further into spring. And I have a vague recollection of shortening Standard Time with the intent of phasing it out?
I KNEW IT. This winter has been kicking my ass. The cold and snow don't usually bother me too much, but this winter has felt like a personal attack.
Good news everyone, spring is coming. I know this because I woke up with a weather-induced migraine that has settled behind my left eyeball that ibuprofen, fluids, and vitamins are not evicting. Looking forward to another 1-3 of these per week for the next 3 months. Congrats.
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws
Goodreads' "readers also enjoyed" feature is just giving the same 12 books for everything, no matter what type of book you're looking at, & Storygraph's "books similar to" feature suggests the most esoteric, hard-to-find, and often low reader ratings titles. Can we have a functioning readalike tool?

I've always said I hope I go out during the initial apocalyptic event; I don't want to try to survive after with no electricity and half my loved ones dead. People always look at me like I'm crazy.
Well now I ACTUALLY hate the US men's hockey team
Midterms I think?
Free us from our snowy prison or the posting will continue.
So the women’s team only inspires the next generation of girls to play hockey but the men’s team inspires all Americans, got it got it got it.
Ngl I'm a little salty that while I saw hockey ppl celebrating the record-setting US women's hockey run to olympic gold, it's only now that the US mens team has gold that posts celebrating US hockey are absolutely flooding my feed. Like...
She had E. coli MULTIPLE times??
Okay well Insta/Threads once had a huge Discourse about whether telling aspiring fashion/costume designers that pressing (like with an iron) their seams was an intrinsic part of the clothing construction process was elitist gatekeeping so...
Right, that's why my "delivery fee" is 1.5 times the cost of my actual usage fee.
Bro, it's the data centers.
YouTube homepage is down. Just in case it DOES have something to do with the Colbert Talarico interview, I will now watch the Colbert Talarico YT exclusive, which luckily can still be searched up.
I keep seeing women make these long, well explained posts about how the SAVE act will make voting more expensive/difficult for married women & trans folx and how it relates to Jim Crow poll taxes and on every one of these posts there's their one White Male Friend who just comments "Bullshit."
"We understand that your doctor thinks this drug is medically necessary for you, but we asked our Very Special Doctor who is paid by us, your insurance company, and he said it's not medically necessary, so 🤷♀️"
Should I be worried that the head of DHS throws as much of a fit over a blanket as my chihuahua does when I put his blankets in the washer on wash day?
