The Boobarienne casting primitive hexes

The franchise pretty uniformly has a really great attitude of people being into nerd shit but doing it with absolutely no shame or hesitation because they know they’ll be accepted and encouraged by their friends. I’m trying to do that myself but I know it will end with a friend’s improv comedy show

Riker tooting on that boner

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

It’s also really great because they have the most amazing technology anyone could ever ask for in the holodeck, they use it, but then they’ll also show up for their robot’s cat poetry night because they realize it’s important to be present with those you love and that technology isn’t a substitute

We're going to talk about c19 today and I'm going to ask you all in advance to not zone out like you do when we're talking about it in person😑

Covid not "a cold" - it attacks every system of the body, making it weaker to every other kind of infection. There's another illness that does similar.

And if you stopped masking it’s okay to start again.

It’s worth it.

The image shows a text post from tumblr user "theconcealedweapon": If you really care about preventing government tyranny your #1 priority must be making sure criminals have rights. And that’s not a joke or an exaggeration. If criminals don’t have rights, then all the government has to do is to find Some excuse to label people as criminals, and those people will no longer have rights. It’s what literally every tyrannical government in all of history has done. If you believe that people who break the law should forfeit their rights, you’re literally as pro-tyranny as a person can get.

Tip o’ the hat to jolmy

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

A news article from Medical Xpress dated October 20, 2025, titled “Post-pandemic COVID-19 linked with high numbers of workforce absences and exits.” The word “Post” is crossed out and replaced in red text with “Ongoing.” Below the headline, an image shows a woman in a blue sweater holding a tissue to her nose, appearing sick.

"COVID-19 continued to cause about the same number of monthly work absences year-round as occurred during peak influenza months, a team that includes Yale School of Public Health (YSPH) researchers has found."

Scroll down for additional gruesome details. This plan costs $27,600 in premium, has a $12,300 deductible, a 50% co-pay and OOP of $20,300. You pay them $39,990 + 50% of every bill up to $20,300 OOP before you get any relief. And that's IN NETWORK. What middle class family could afford this??

I guess I just feel like it should be a bigger deal that Penske Media owns the Golden Globes and ALSO Rolling Stone, Variety, Hollywood Reporter, Indiewire, GoldDerby, and Deadline, plus 20% of Vox Media

The woman hosting this shit is CMO at a VC firm that funds AI projects. But the great @nytimes.com does not disclose that

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

Welp, my phone is very definitely still listening in and selling my data to Amazon at the least. Had some trouble with my log splitter, complained about it, and now I’m getting lots of log splitter ads. This is with everything buttoned down tight. Sigh.

I just got invited to have my first book featured in a fairly fancy bookstore's "book club," which they indicated would involve me paying them and, uh, no, that is not how this has ever worked.

billionaires should not be allowed to exist because the downside of "one of them loses their mind" is simply too dangerous for a functional society

also, having a billion dollars tends to make you lose your mind

The amount of personality Rose imbues in these pots is remarkable. This thing feels like it’s about to scurry off the table.

Hey so I did a thing!

This is the first personal writing I've done since January that's gone anywhere, and I'd love to see if you can FIND ME!

check out the thread below and look at this year's book list.

Hating the ACA is similar to hating on vaccines.

It's a luxury borne of not really appreciating what existed before.

The fix wasn't perfect, and there is a lot more that we could do to make it better.

But the "ACA Was Bad" Discourse is just untethered from reality.

Pre-ACA, and esp pre-EMTALA, we were absolutely cruel to most vulnerable among us.

Was the ACA perfect, even before Roberts tore up chunks of it because he personally didn't like it, and he arrogated to himself the power to wreck stuff? No.

But did it do A LOT of good? FOR. SURE.

No lifetime maxes. Pre-ACA, insurance companies would put lifetime max costs on coverage. I had NICU nurses talk about kids who would hit their LIFETIME max before their first breath of non-hospital air.

No pre-existing conditions. "No insurance if you had serious injuries." So my kid? Uninsurable.

A giant stack of papers, about 1/2 the size of an apple, on a counter.

Are we doing "The ACA Sucks" Discourse again?

I'm going to guess most people hating on it from the left have never received a hospital bill the size of book; I put the apple there for scale.

That's the $1.3 million bill my kid incurred in his first ~94 days. Why does that make me respect the ACA?

To supplement the newly passed Council legislation that increases fines for properties with never-ending sheds, we'll also pursue ways to incentivize buildings to get scaffolding down quickly.

authentic is the favorite word of people who have never been genuine about anything in their lives

Hey at what point were you going to reveal that the woman who the story is based on is the Chief Marketing Office at a VC firm that is invested in a bunch of AI firms??????
