My Shattered Nerves

Looking for a scientific illustrator/graphic designer based in Canada in the "environmental/conservation" space to help with a synthesis figure for a paper. Please ping me with ideas.

Ok truth bomb: Happy Gilmore 2 wasn’t that bad. If you’re a pro golf fan you’ll love the pros in it. Everyone who could come back from the first one did, there are definitely some decent laughs. Worth the watch for fans of the first one. Adam Sandler is bearable throughout.

“Kill anything that even slightly seems icky or could inconvenience me” is high up on the worst personality chart.

Sinners exploring the revolution of Black music is one of the greatest scenes in movie history.

This hex could fix me

The eternal question 😣
Alt text:
‘Why does everyone force introverts to be talkative and leave their comfort zone, but no one forces the extroverts to shut up, even for a minute, to make the zone comfortable?’

All this AI shit makes me feel like there's an entire genre of people who resent having to think at all.

US to rewrite its past national climate reports US President Donald Trump's administration is revising past editions of the nation's premier climate report -- its latest move to undermine the scientific consensus on human-caused global warming.

The Trump administration has announced that the US will rewrite past climate reports, in a clear attempt to erase scientific history and undermine the consensus on human-caused climate change.

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered... History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

the thing that trans people ask of the world is so tiny, really. just to be able to exist as the person they are, without the rest of us being weird or cruel about it. it's a deep shame on our society that we are unable to deliver on so small a thing.

The older I get, the more I hate seeing 'my partner hates my hobby' / 'please cringe at how much my partner spends on this thing they love' media gags. It's exhausting.

Stop dating people who shame you for enjoying something. Have fun with your games, minis, makeup, sports, whatever.

Here we go again. Doesn’t like what citizens have to say, withhold the results.

t took six months for a Trump official to be politely forced by a journalist to admit live on air what everyone - including every economist - knows to be true (but which Trump keeps lying about): tariffs are paid in the US by US importers.

What an indictment of our media.

Definitely check out this thread

Not doing a selfie but you get the gist.

Noticing a pattern here.

We asked some Australians to try these classic Canadian snack foods and they died, they all died We thought we’d have a bit of fun and get our friends from Down Under to try some of our favourite Canadian snacks. Unfortunately it went horribly, horribly awry.

DanielleSmith made it clear that she’s on the side of the separatists. Today, Smith and Minister Amery instructed government lawyers to oppose Elections Alberta’s reference of the separatist’s ballot to the Court. #ForeverCanadian lawyers and I will be in court tomorrow. 1/2

Nuclear reactor on the moon but no healthcare.

All we want is healthcare.

I'd highly recommend grabbing a tea and a biscuit and spending 20 minutes reading this thoughtful and in-depth piece from Girl on the Net about the problems of the Online Safety Act.

80 years ago, on August 6, 1945, the United States committed one of the most atrocious crimes in human history and plunged the world into a nuclear dark age. It dropped nuclear weapons on Hiroshima, Japan and mass murdered an estimated 70,000 to 140,000 people, mostly civilians, instantly.

More of this please

Not fleeing: New report shows more wealthy residents in Mass., 2 years into 'millionaire's tax' Despite previous concerns, Massachusetts' "millionaire's tax" hasn't seemed to deter high-earners from continuing to live here, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.

1. The extra marginal tax rate will affect millionaires' daily lives almost not at all, which is why in reality none of them would leave the state.

2. When you have this much money, your accountant/financial folks are already making you as tax efficient as possible.

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Bookless Future as a cautionary tale.

AI boosters: At long last, we are close to a Bookless Future from the classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Bookless Future.

I Used AI to Make a Video That Sucks I used AI to make a video that sucks. It is bad. It is boring. But I made it in under an hour. And now it is my entire personality. To some, my AI-...
