Ah! Those look so nice but my phone is a generation too old!

Broke my current one 😬

Does anyone know where I can get a phone case that doesn’t suck? Everything I find is either cheap, drop shipped, ugly, or used AI art

Heard the MSP feed was sunsetposting, anyone else catch the rainbow?

The natural result of dudes with lifelong John McClane fantasies getting control of the might of the US military. Standard “I hope someone would try me so I can kick their ass” type of guy.

Let’s be clear, this man *desperately* wants them to retaliate.

He’s not being flippant, he’s being hopeful.

Happy “but when’s international men’s day?” day to the absolute most annoying guy you’ve ever met (he doesn’t know how to google 💔)

Hey my girlfriend saw your dog from across the coffee shop and we really like his vibe. Can we please pet him?

How much people are willing to spend on a future for XYZ event is NOT THE SAME as the likelihood of XYZ event happening!!!! Oh my god stop calling it a fucking likelihood!!!!!!!!!!!

Knowing things is continues to be the worst part about existing in 2026

The polymarket stuff is further enforcing my belief that we should be pushing high schoolers to take stats instead of calc in the majority of cases

There have been MULTIPLE early leaks of scientific discoveries via DECORATED CAKE. Scientists are good at many things, but shutting up is definitely not one of them.

Okay I grew up in the midwest so I'm generally aware of tornado siren tests but this may be the first time since moving here that I've been WFH on a first Wednesday of the month because I cannot hear those suckers from my grad student office (our windows look into the building atrium, not outside)
