So cute 😭

I've decided to once again take photos of fabulous transmog that I see while standing about across Azeroth. I won't include character names unless I have permission (I always chat first). This year's first snap is the magnificent look of this Worgen Fury Warrior. #Warcraft #WoW

The autistic guide to waving exuberantly without accidentally Sieg Heiling We’ve all done it. Who hasn’t been innocently hanging out at the inauguration of a man dubbed by people in his own party as the next Hitler and accidentally performed a Nazi salute that could only be ...

Lolz

Guardian vs. NYT. You know who's going to call things by their true names and who's not even gonna give you syrup with that waffle.

Guardian: "Elon Musk waded into controversy on Monday when he gave back-to-back fascist-style salutes....

"Oh he's autistic, he didn't mean a Nazi salute"

Funny enough I'm autistic too, and have never managed to do that...

Don't blame someone being a dickhead on autism.

A study came out recently that showed a single COVID infection increases your risk of serious cardiovascular events for 3 years post infection.

That’s terrifying - but there’s a bigger discussion being missed.

That finding means a Covid infection makes you a “vulnerable”. 🧵/1

How bots are driving the climate crisis and how we can solve it The internet now makes up around 7.4 per cent of global emissions – with half of that made up of bots. But it’s possible to track the perpetrators of bot-related energy waste, say University of Melbou...

This is an angle I hadn’t really considered

I’m shocked. This is my shocked face. No really.

The image is from a "Transparency Center" document and lists guidelines regarding acceptable and prohibited content for insults. It mentions: 1. Insults about: Character, such as cowardice, dishonesty, criminality, and sexual promiscuity or immorality. Mental characteristics, including but not limited to accusations of stupidity, intellectual capacity, and mental illness, as well as unsupported comparisons among politically correct (PC) groups based on inherent intellectual traits. 2. Highlighted section: The document allows allegations of mental illness or abnormality when tied to gender or sexual orientation, referencing political and religious discourse about transgenderism and homosexuality. It also acknowledges the non-serious use of terms like "weird."

Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

Elon / Vivek MAGA backlash is in full swing. They should have remembered the old saying:

Beware of geeks bearing grifts.

Andalusian classics but they are women loving each other. 🌞Based on a painting called 'Cortejo español' by García Ramos.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at TAU and the University of Lisbon have developed a groundbreaking nano-vaccine against COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray WITHOUT requiring cold storage. Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against ALL major SARS-CoV-2 variants. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

Your Aussie Shepherd might be molting if… you find a wad of dog fur in your clean underwear and it doesn’t even cause you to raise an eyebrow.

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!

No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

Add me too!

Retail keeps losing my attention but SoD has held it for a year now. I just really enjoy it.

I'll have to look into it :)

Gosh I haven't even started on that yet

A group of WoW characters clustered around the AQ gong. One is riding a black bug mount.

Woohoo! With my guild's help I got my black bug mount from doing the AQ scepter questline in SoD #ScarabLord #WorldOfWarcraft

A painted stone by Kerrie Ann Gardner. The scene on the stone shows a pair of Ravens at the Elan Valley in Wales, with a crescent moon in the background. The scene is circled by tiny golden runes and magical symbols.

Day 3 of #ArtAdventCalendar - I hope everyone is enjoying this hashtag as much as me?

This painted stone depicts a pair of Ravens at the Elan Valley in Wales, which is an International Dark Sky Park. I’ve always been pleased with the way this stone turned out. 🌘

I went and watched the entirety of Skibidi Toilet... for research.

Gorgeous work

An illustration of two bunnies on a cream-coloured background. The bunny on the left, seen from the side, is stretching with its bum up, front legs reaching out while its ears are low. The bunny on the right, also seen from the same angle, is stretching its hind legs and curving its back down so the tail and head perk up. The ears are no longer low, but upright and alert. One can see one of the hind legs stretching out extra far. That must feel very nice!

Don't forget to stretch!

Omg it’s so cute
