Ways to have your name echo through the ages:
- conquer several empires
- make one of history's greatest inventions
- sell some bad copper

There can be NO age verification when there is no research and infrastructure to do it in a secure, anonymous and third-party-less way. Rushing it on the pretext of child safety will only result in disaster, as if there are not enough data breaches and abuses already. #privacy

My #cat is the sweetest cat, and I think she doesn't realize that it hurts when she bites my nose.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said β€œWe are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

The hardest part is getting a sharpened triangular piece of metal. You can probably pick one up from one of the many plane crashes.

This form of address is alarmingly nonspecific. What if some other husband had found it first?

@chrislhayes.bsky.social Proposal to pronounce DOGE as "doggy" from now on. There's no need to advertise his crypto after all. And it will get under his skin.

Don't worry, folks. If Elon ignores this order too, the judge will issue an even sterner one.

But we can't know what's in their hearts! What if, secretly and deep inside, they're not racist?

I think #cats assume we have the same situational awareness that they do. So they can sit behind our feet while we get something from a cupboard and we won't step on them because obviously we know they're there.

You: Why do I feel so tired

Body: Coffee and chips are not a meal

Body: Eat a vegetable

Body: Sleep

You: Guess we'll never know

Body: Oh my god

Popcorn is great. But affer I've eaten it, I don't want any more. And the smell... it *lingers*.

In Dutch, male and female words are treated the same in *almost* all contexts. So when the difference does matter, most people get this wrong.
