There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

The gloves probably came from the kids’ department (I have an extra small skeleton so bitty hands) but the union suit (sold as a pajama onesie, but it’s close-fitting, not a kigurumi) is definitely adult sizing

Well, I’ve got a union suit printed with a skeleton that glows in the dark and I got it from Old Navy sometime in the past five years and I’m pretty sure my skeleton-printed cheap stretchy gloves do too.

PEM is not a single symptom; it's a pathological state in which response to exertion is shock-like: drops in BP, drops in oxygenation, drops in HR, drops in temp, transient drops in cognitive ability.

And doing exercise more, or harder, or more often does not alter the nature of the response.

Trump’s reckless new policy on homelessness - The Boston Globe Thousands of people in Massachusetts with a history of homelessness could lose housing due to policy shift.

Good for @globeopinion.bsky.social for calling out the harm of Trump’s new rules for programs serving the homeless. Mandating sobriety and employment won’t fix homelessness, it will fuel it. Let people get safe, so they can then work on recovery and jobs. 1/2 www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/21/o...

the entire Ziggy concert film

They re-released it for the anniversary last year and I took Milo. He was not as young and impressionable as I was but he appreciated it nonetheless.

It was Bowie in the Let’s Dance video who first caught my attention, what with me being 13 and glued to MTV. The classmate who then introduced me to Ziggy etc. just cemented it.

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

Journalist challenge: Use β€œMachine Learning” when you mean machine learning and β€œLLM” when you mean LLM. Ditch β€œAI” as a catch-all term, it’s not useful for readers and it helps companies trying to confuse the public by obscuring the roles played by different technologies. πŸ§ͺ

[They] recommend flu shots for anyone who comes into contact w/ domestic or wild birds. The vaccine can’t protect against bird flu, but it reduces the chance that someone could get sick w/ both viruses at once & cause the bird flu virus to mutate into something that would spread easily among humans
