I worry that most cynical among us, hopped up on 30 years of law and order rhetoric, will say "this is the system working: he didn't do anything wrong and now he's free." As if the terror and wide-scale publicity of an arrest and federal prosecution is not a horrible punishment in and of itself.

I believe the one phrase that has hollowed out so many people's lives, killed dreams, and acted as a primary driver in our current perceived lack of creative/scientific endeavors is "Well, there's no money in that." It should never be about the money, and it sucks that we're all cursed for profit.

oh let's stop playing daft, we know exactly who it is: all the rich people in the state who already contribute nothing but misery, looking to dodge out entirely on what little they're forced to financially chip in as fellow members of society. pro-Amendment 5 contributors are anti-social leeches.

I humbly request an unnecessary QoL from the devs of Everyday Life. Can the cooking directions please be on every side of the frozen pizza box? I just want to see the oven temp and bake time no matter what angle I'm seeing the box from. Thank you.
Generative AI does not write fiction well, so when an editor accepts a short story and then has to recant because it is AI, it's worth asking what they saw in the story in the first place. (As others, like Nick Mamatas, have noted elsewhere )
if you don't have any money, you too can support artists by liking and sharing their work, telling your friends about them, reminding them to eat, taking out their trash, doing their dishes, watering their plants, feeding their pets, please help i need adult supervision—

Thank you @wwrfd.bsky.social for letting me haul out my Wilson Odyssey translation and get super nerdy for Nat Geo. Esp because I talk to talk about the REAL PLACES behind the Odyssey. www.nationalgeographic.com/science/arti...
The Odyssey is fiction. But its monsters and magic may have been based on real science.
Odysseus faced the cyclops, his men turned into pigs, and he sailed between a six-headed monster and a whirlpool. Each of these, it turns out, have potential real-life explanations.

On average, a tetanus shot is good for ten years. Now is a good time to ask yourself when you last got a tetanus shot. If you don't remember, then it might be time to get one or a booster.
Princess Vimentin PhD | Cancer Biologist@princess-vimentin.bsky.social · 4w agoTetanus is returning. In the 1930s, Tetanus was widespread in the US. The development & deployment of vaccines reduced annual cases from ~ 600 in the 1940s to 17 in 2020. Mortality dropped 99%. There is no cure for tetanus.
