a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

Their first studio album has a song called “Tenant Enemy #1”, ffs, and it’s not subtle.

Star Trek Voyager scene. Seven of Nine (tertiary adjunct of unimatrix 01) is pictured. She has a dolphin shaped metal robotic implant around her left eye because she is a borgs. Closed caption reads, "Fun will now commence."

It's the weekend, baby

Not in that library - it was up over the garage - but elsewhere in the house, yeah.

Framed black and white screenprint of small square-rigged ships in a high-walled harbor at night. Stars sparkle in the sky. The white ink has been streaked and patterned to suggest both waves in the water and texture to the rocks

(Also, yes, I did bring some home.)

Considering that the other really standout category at this particular estate sale was maritime art, especially antique maps and ships/beaches/lighthouses, I would not have been surprised.

Scientific datasets are riddled with copy-paste errors Initial results from scanning through Excel files belonging to 600 published scientific papers.

Responsible for, so far, the founding of three states, one country, and a whole fuckton of universities - now taking on FIFA. I am *here* for this.

'Categorically false'; Foxborough officials say no World Cup deal reached With a key deadline fast approaching, the dispute between the Town of Foxborough and World Cup organizers is becoming even more contentious.

I kind of love that a single Massachusetts town is threatening to fuck up the World Cup

I *definitely* love that it’s because they don’t trust the Krafts further than they can throw them.

I have worked with a couple of people who’d do things like this in real life. They’d have given the croc indigestion.

But if you set your email up as IMAP, it should sync read count across any devices accessing the account, so making something read on the laptop should do so on the phone. Why would you make so much more work for yourself?

I didn’t even know you could *have* a thousand unread texts without your phone combusting.

My partner “manages” his email like that, and I can vouch that I *have* been tempted to fling his phone out a window.

I have the same kind of neurodivergent brain, apparently, because that dot was like a splinter stuck under my fingernail.

We don’t give people an option about seat belts any more because the evidence is so overwhelming, and the public good so apparent, that the state feels there’s no need to justify it.

Somehow, despite equal or more evidence and public good for vaccines, we rely instead on personal choice. Why?

I think this is critical - I agree with you; vaccinating kids *shouldn’t* be a choice for parents, any more than feeding them or using car seats or any other fundamental safety thing. But because it *is* left to parents as an option, the very presence of a choice makes people believe it’s debatable.

I am going to do something truly dreadful to the next person who uses “utilize” when “use” would work just as well (which is always, to be clear.)

Update: Having finally gotten inside, I see why people aren’t coming out. I would like to die in this library: 50% built-in bookshelves, 50% beautiful stained glass, giant overstuffed leather couches? Yes please.

New Orleans gets a pass because that’s a whole major regional thing - and there are many reasons I avoid western PA. 🤣

I’m at an estate sale where people keep going in but no one is coming out. I’m seriously starting to worry the house is eating people.

….well, now I know I must be pronouncing all of those incorrectly! 🤣

In Charlottesville, there’s a road that drives me nuts because it’s obviously “ree-oh” - spelled Rio and over/along the river - and all the locals say “rye-oh”.

In the DMV, it’s the entire damn town of McLean.

Hey, so, we have some news about something that won't be happening in 2032.

I think the snarky bsky haters may be getting to you. 🤣
