my adversarial "Digger is about Scientology" reading was a joke when I said it but I don't think it was funny either
Tom Cruise, a bad person who gets away with it, all but wears a sign in Digger that says this is his demonstration of how people like him get away with it. It's like hearing gallows humor from an executioner or a confession that there will never be a confession. I can't believe it's funny
Reading Midnight Spiderman I was thinking about how the only way to get a Rich People Are Bad story in front of a lot of people is to let rich people control that story. And then Digger just tweeted it out
I've been auditing research on patient-reported outcomes in the medical lit and it is WILD how many of these projects say oh yes we're open access, here's an open access paper, but the items? No the items are not available and not open. And you can't reproduce them.
if you are publishing a scale validation paper tell me why your paper doesn't list all the items!?!?!?
Goddess of Spring: fertility incarnate, that means huge tits. Goddess of Summer: bikini season, that means huge tits. Goddess of Autumn: bountiful harvest, that means huge tits. Goddess of Winter: comforting warmth when all else is cold? You're not gonna believe this, but that also means huge tits.
this is a load-bearing verse for my theology
images that spring to mind unbidden, part 1006: "a larger number of kobolds may fit" // "local ferry service"
images that spring to mind unbidden, part 1007: "more hydrogen atoms"
anachronistic romanization in the baroque cycle
Prompts a fun question: whats the most niche historical inaccuracy in a piece of work that annoys you Not like 'oh they were referring to the wrong king' , more 'they had the wrong king on a banknote in one scene'
I love my email being full of garb company adds. They feel like a translation across time. "Hot & Back in Stock: Red Florentine Wool!" "Free Barbute Helmet with Purchase of Maciejowski Chopping Blade!" "Boring Spearheads Getting You Down? Try Damascus Steel!" "Are Your Hoes Ready for Harvest?"
The slug community will be pleased
Pretty cool.
I have never seen a map like this one in an academic book. It's from from Derek Hoyos' CARTHAGE: A BIOGRAPHY, and I am intensely jealous that I never thought of putting placenames on slips of paper rather than trying to type them all onto an image of a map.
this is very stupid but would own
there was a 1936 proposal to build a concrete ramp structure up to the midpoint of the eiffel tower so you could drive up it. and i, for one, think it’s a shame that there was never a trend of making world monuments more car-accessible.
mcdonalds is celebrating obscure lgbt holidays that aren't even in june and the right is relegated back to "i drew an anime girl that agrees with me politically" balance is restored 🧘
Don't get too excited; these didn't belong to Bilbo or Frodo, they're from the gauche-ass stereo rig the Sackville-Baginses installed when they briefly owned the place www.craigslist.org/view/d/minne...

guys that cloudflare chart is about automated content crawling not social media bots, Yandex is an indexing site, when one of its DCs go down they do less crawling of the web. please learn to read.
everyone is making pretty bold anecdotal claims about the Yandex DC going out resulting in less right wing content, but all the actual data I’ve seen has been saying it hasn’t moved the needle at all. I would be very skeptical of these claims; they will almost certainly turn out to be totally false.
update: this appears to be most likely fake 😔
....uhhhhhh chat
hey, that's not fair. Democrats are *also* allowed to say Obama will put you in a FEMA camp so its technically equal when you think about it
“Obama will use the ACA to put you in FEMA death camps because he’s a Nazi” is just politics as usual and “Mike Collins endorses concentration camps and has a bunch of Hitlerjugend sharing memes about gassing the Jews on his staff because he’s a Nazi” is unprecedentedly offensive without reason
random thought that if red means no was a normal sex party and not aella mantling madame d'arouet from terra ignota, there would be dominant women and male play-victims present
People just think science is bigger than it is because science has such unreal outcomes for our lives. There just aren't enough scientists, there isn't enough funding, there isn't enough time and there isn't enough resource for our needs. People think their countries fund it much more than they do
Interesting. Not shocking but interesting that even developers that wanted to build couldn't find financing specifically in SF.
Iñárritu kinda hates himself, kinda hates you, hates society, but really hates Republicans, and most of all hates Adam McKay. And while this makes it sound miserable. It's actually funny, eminently watchable, and the reason to see it in theaters is weirdly enough: the foley work
