Oh, so *this* is how the writers are gonna bring together the A story and B story for the finale! Very cool. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/s...
This A.I. Just Created Viruses Not Found in Nature
Scientists trained artificial intelligence on libraries of DNA and then asked the model to create recipes for viral genomes. Sixteen of them were viable, yielding new viruses.

Maine has like 4 of the top 5 ice cream shops in the world.
Andrew Janjigian@wordloaf.org · 2w agoHow many people know that the best ice cream in the US (maybe the world?!) is sold at a lakeside snack shack in the Maine woods?
It’s 2029 and a Democratic President just took the oath of office. He turns to the massive crowd for his speech which starts: “My fellow Americans. Moments ago, while I was being sworn in, Donald J. Trump was arrested and taken into custody along with multiple members of his cabinet and staff.” 🥹
No Lego set has ever tempted me like this before… 🖖🏻

You have to give credit to Arby's team for their honesty, "We have the meats" makes no mention of that meat being good, fresh, or having any positive attributes - just that they have it. Make your own version with the Arby's Font & Logo Generator!

I will continue to call out the lies spouted by Arby’s!
Wow, I need this crossbody bag! Not only does it look like a TNG tricorder, but it has Tom Servo in the scanner! WHAAAT?! ❤️🖖🏻
TrekCore.com 🖖@trekcore.com · last mo.For those of you worried about the upside-down flap in the new Loungefly #StarTrek TNG crossbody tricorder bag... thankfully the final product has it correctly oriented, and it was just the sales artwork that was incorrect.
“Don’t wear asbestos jewelry? How dare they? Who has the right to tell me not to wear asbestos jewelry? I’m offended by that.”
Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 3w agoMAGA cultist Eric Metaxas was outraged by seeing an air quality alert triggered by the Canadian wildfires that suggested people limit outdoor activity: "How dare they say that. Who has the right to tell me or you or anyone anything? It's a free country. I can do whatever I want."
It should be mandatory to report it within 48 hours. Hey @mikethompson.house.gov, can you start a bill regarding this? …because if it’s POTUS, I suspect they’d cover that up too.

Graham Platner drops out of the Maine Senate race and wants to help pick his replacement? Buddy, you’ve done enough
Flying east sucks. You wake up early to catch an early flight and when you get there, the day is pretty much shot. (Don’t get me started on red eyes. They suck too.) Flying west rules! Leisurely arrive to an afternoon flight, relax a few hours, and land with the whole evening in front of you!
Thought I had posted a skeet, but got interrupted. Don’t see it saved as a draft, so I guess it’s lost. I shall endeavor to conjure a pale echo of its brilliance, though its perfection remains a mirage forever beyond my grasp.
This was EIGHT MONTHS AGO! The state still overwhelmingly voted for the guy in the primary. Maine, you got played.
Gwen McNamara@timeandagwen.bsky.social · 10mo agoFor everyone who is just now discovering that Graham Platner STILL has a nazi tattoo, I direct you to this post from three days ago. Yeah, he’s a piece of shit…and it’s not just the tattoo confirming that.
In better news, John Oliver's three-day stint/stunt as a corporate villain on legendary soap opera "General Hospital" appears to be going... fucking brilliantly?? I have watched this clip on a loop for like 20 mins I really, truly need to see the full episodes NOW
There are more people on stage than in the audience!

Portland Harbor…or as we natives call it, “Portland Habbah”. To be clear, this is the real Portland in Maine and not the copycat on the west coast.
