I think this is about the temperature but honestly it works for decades as well

This is brilliant!!! Blow it up, BSKY!

“International Women’s Day” ending up on the only 23 hour day of the year.

Cover image Barbershops of the Floating City by Grace P. Fong. An Asian woman with long black hair, wearing a blue qipao-like dress with blue floral designs, holds a pair of black scissors and faces us. A shadowy figure, a woman in profile, stands behind her. At the women’s feet are gray-brown skyscrapers. Behind her is a pale-green-blue sky and a pale yellow sun-like circle surrounded by yellow rays and black angled points shaped like scissors. The Uncanny banner, May/June 2025, Issue Sixty-Four, list of author, essayists, and poets credits, and the editor credits, are on top of the image.

Hey Kerastase, you are saying your own name two different ways in your own ad. French and English pronunciations, I get it, but if I can't say the name in my own head, I'm not going to remember it and also I don't really understand what you are, so maybe I'm not your customer anyway... never mind...

Yes -- oh -- I'm being told those are baked into the apple pie somehow...??

I suppose this is why we need to make sure people understand statistics. Any one result doesn't tell us as much as when you look at the results over the larger population.

I know. It's frustrating. And the resurgence of smoking is also a guide there... we have to keep it up, or we lose ground.

We are slipping in that fight. It's awful.

Do younger people know about the huge effort that was put into decreasing the % of smokers. Education campaigns in print, on TV, in schools, new restrictions/enforcement, labeling, a soupçon of public shaming, changes in how smoking was depicted, etc. Might guide us in anti-anti-vax efforts.

But it worked out
Since they eventually had to cross the road THEY WALKED DIRECTLY AT ME SQUEEEEE!!!! Please add your own music.

Good god yes. Awful.

Not disagreeing. And yum.

That's beautiful!

I assume I'm the arsehole. Yes, I suspect I overreacted in defense of a piece I really enjoyed. I didn't understand your post. I will delete my comment.

Oh how nice! I love the idea of him saying "sitch" just casually, like it's a usual word!

My object pronoun is whom.

I stand with whom.

This is a really good read about obsession and a beautiful object.
