Lithium salts have to be the most annoying dosage there is. Such a narrow therapeutic window...

Enceladus is the natural moon that I find most intriguing, personally. Subsurface oceans, extremely high albedo. Astronomy and the search for possible life is just plain neat.

It would be amazing to detect strong evidence of life elsewhere in the solar system.

I do wonder what the mix is on fame being cognitively harmful/the kinds of people who seek fame being prone to grossness is. Kinda ties into the debate of power corrupting vs revealing, really. (My belief is that it's a mix of the two, and ratios vary by person)

I think she grew up Mormon, and knowing a *lot* of Mormons (having grown up in Utah as a Mormon myself) it's... not completely out of left field, though a glance at her Wikipedia article says she apologized for her surprise performance. Still, that stink does not wash off easily.

Specifying surface conditions does make me wonder what the habitability conditions start looking like for subsurface oceans and if that's a can of worms astrophycists are afraid of opening in public. The amount of speculation would have to really spike on a per-planet basis.

"Eric Clapton's such a great guitarist, I should read about his career. Oh, Jesus. Maybe it was just the cocaine? ...nope, he's still Like That. It wasn't the cocaine at all."

(I just hope Weird Al isn't secretly a total creep...)

It feels like any big-name musician is a total crapshoot on learning about. "Man, Jimmy Page is a crazy good guitarist? I should read about his song-writing career. Wow, he sure stole from a lot of Black musicians. And he also had a relationship with... Oh dear God, no."

John Lennon is one of those people that seemed pretty great... until you actually learn about him in any sort of detail.

Bill going down alongside Trump would be a hell of a BOGO.

They're just gonna get continually more stupid and destructive until someone gets killed. Even that may not stop them.

Please God, let Zohran Mamdani talk Trump into resigning the presidency. If you do this, I will believe in your existence again.

"Hey JD, I would say you're a bad Catholic but... you're not a Catholic anymore. :)" - Da Pope (if we were in a better timeline)

Actually enforcing laws for white-collar crime in general, really.

Countdown to Da Pope deciding to cut the last vestiges of subtlety and just outright say, "Mr. Vance, you are a very bad Catholic and your anti-humanitarian crusade is in opposition to centuries of established Doctrine. Just stop already."

And the centrists who honk about "Covid activists and anti-vaxxers are the same!" probably haven't had a Covid booster since 2022 at the most recent. As you said below, what they're *really* saying is "Can't you let me pretend this is over?"

Reaching out to my disability community here, does anyone have expertise on how federal student loan discharge for disability works? Would love to ask some questions.

He reminds me of Confidence from Red Dwarf. This is not a compliment.

Dammit, Phil (laudatory).

Girl, where’d you get those shoes?

Beanbag chairs?

*All* of Legends got together to have a baby with Return of the Jedi and crammed it into one movie.

You could probably find a replacement rod in a junkyard and get a mechanic to do the job for a beer and the novelty of it.

Or LS swap it for yucks.

Sure, it's almost uninsurable and not something you can realistically wrench on yourself. But at least it can't develop rod knock.

I'm convinced that botany is a cruel joke.

There are three groups of plants: brassica, grasses, and nightshade

It's the people who expend effort to remain uninformed that really irk me.

It should never be underestimated how many people *want* to be uninformed.

The "use in AI" might even be as simple as a function like Google Translate rather than ChatGPT-type stuff.

Rah has sung the praises of professional bra fittings many times. I think Polish grannies specifically?

I'm suddenly wondering if Three Amigos should be considered an adaptation of The Three Musketeers. If so, is the presence of Chevy Chase a significant enough demerit to disqualify it from achieving "good" status?
