say what you will about AI, always-on voice recording and auto dictation has been a game changer for my workflows. Save post and close app. Yeah Footlong meatball sub on white. No veggies. Don't toast it. Ranch and barbecue sauce. Yeah, ranch and bargecue sauce. More. More. Little more please

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

"Draining a pool in the rain" is top tier metaphor, thank you, universe

As NPS drains the Reflecting Pool for repairs, thunderstorms and strong rains work to replenish the water.

I’m really not enjoying the preponderance of evidence that suggests that when people want something they have zero morals.

The ‘public trust crisis’ in science largely comes down to ‘scientists tell people things they don’t want to hear’. Applies equally to climate science

The appeal of alt medicine isn’t ’capitalism alienated us from healing ‘ or whatever, it’s that it has no evidential foundation so it can make claims like ‘ouchie needles are bad for you but yummy milkshakes are good’

i will never forget how elon musk said absolutely nothing at all about the NASA artemis ii mission except one post making fun of that women who took the photo of the launch in the reflection of her glasses. he hates space

A lot of people are truly deluded into believing they care deeply about sexism and sexual violence and that they’re also very kind and wonderful when they actively make life harder for people who have been and will be impacted by sexual violence

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

Artemis II’s toilet is a moon mission milestone

On their voyages to the moon, NASA’s astronauts are finally getting some creature comforts of terrestrial toilets—such as having a door and being able to pee and poop simultaneously

On no, hard facts. What will my pea brain do now.... #cdnpoli "In fact, people vaccinated against covid-19 were 43% less likely to experience sudden death than unvaccinated people" www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Covid vaccines are not linked to sudden death in healthy younger adults, study finds

Simultaneously, they mock & degrade women athletes for not being athletic enough, and then when a few of us are that athletic, they say we must not be real women. The end state of this reasoning is a world where “real” women don’t — and then can’t — play sports. Policing gender hurts women athletes.

Abandon scarcity mindset that keeps harmful people in your spaces and you will see very quickly how much room you create for genuinely good, hardworking, kind people to thrive. It’s like weeding a garden and helping struggling buds have space to breathe.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

Kyler Fey vs Destoroyah@kylerfey.bsky.social · 5mo ago

As many of you will recall, the poem in the shape of beating Henry Kissinger to death is perhaps the single greatest piece of literature of this century.

in a social order where sex is constructed as a subject-object power relation (something one DOES TO someone else as a means of subordinating & feminizing them and affirming one's own masculine power) then yeah duh of course the right is horny for alt women, trans women, femboys, etc

The firste parte of *Beowulf* ys prettye grippinge but the secounde parte doth dragon a bit

"why die on the hill of sports" look, in most of america where options for secular community are artificially limited as is, sports are one of the few ways for kids to have a social life. by denying trans kids a meaningful way to participate youre basically telling them to become a statistic

Send this to your special someone 💕

Suburban wine moms will really be like "you believe in voting? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, firebombing a concentration camp" and then very effectively firebomb a concentration camp

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful. Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already. Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long? Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

There’s literally a straight line between Trump, Epstein, and the retaliatory lawsuits against women who came forward with allegations against celebrity men like Amber Heard and Blake Lively. They all even have the same PR folks. And yet people still refuse to see it

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability
