i only recently learned that water is actually intrinsically slightly blue. like not just because it's reflecting the color of the sky

my life is so fantastic except for i have a tummy ache

i really struggle to make sense of what it even means to live in a world where you can say 'you should do a breakthrough' at a computer and it produces a mathematical breakthrough

always appreciated how the final boss of the odyssey after all the giants and monsters and magic and whatnot is just a bunch of rude guys

i very genuinely wish the political right were intelligent enough to understand the film’s critique of them

PT Klein@ptklein.com · 3w ago

A movie about the illiberal pretenders to the throne of civilization forcibly coming to terms with their culpability in the violent breaking of the social contract—of course the political right is up in arms about this.

We're setting the stage for an Election Day where white suburban women beat federal agents to death to vote for milquetoast Democrats

cabo verde held both world cup finalists to a draw across 90 minutes and almost took argentina to penalties, easily the best performance anyone has put up against either team all world cup

I've seen enough and believe the national average price of gasoline will again reach $4/gal in the next 7-10 days, if not sooner. oil now up nearly 10%- I'd expect price increases of 15-45c/gal (depending on price cycling state or not) in the next week or so.

i think every other republican senator should also consider spontaneously dying this week. it's trendy :)

the ref calls it loose all game (with the consent of both teams) and VAR calls it tight in one or two crucial moments, gotta solve that problem or throw the whole system out.

maybe you can explain to the canadians why you keep voting for donald trump’s nominees, because you sure as hell haven’t managed to explain it to californians

Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 4w ago

Canada's boycott of California wine is causing devastating harm to winegrowers. I'm urging the Canadian government to recognize that California doesn’t agree with these tariff wars, to lift these restrictions, and increase consumer options to strengthen both our economies.

A secret third thing@secretthirdthing.bsky.social · last mo.

"traditional" cishet dating facing a crisis right now is very interesting tbh, because its abundantly obvious that each side resents the role that they are expected to play, while simultaneously demanding their partner perform theirs.

i think it is time people understood that the apocalyptic and hyperbolic tone of baudrillard, virilio, and others was not just rhetorical excesses of french literary prose

baudrillard and debord are in French Hell right now blowing their brains out

reflecting on america's history today, and in particular the circumstances of president william henry harrison's death. it sure would be tragic to have another president who insists on giving a long, exhausting speech, gets super wet in the rain, and contracts a fatal illness

the provinces decline to offer tribute, the armies return in defeat, the temple of the arts has closed its doors, and the name of the Emperor is scoured from the palaces by his own magistrates. now the sun and storms turn against him. the Mandate is lost.

we’re about to see the first american struck by lightning, fireworks, and a fighter jet at the same time
