i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

i met anubis in the realm of the underworld, big strong guy by the way, had a dog’s head, i’m not so sure about that. and he said to me, mr president, you’ve got the heaviest soul we’ve ever weighed down here. can you believe it? they’ve never seen a soul that heavy in all of duat

i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.

I’m still not over the fact that there was an extremely popular award-winning movie over a decade ago about the perils of falling in love with a chatbot and a company decided to make the chatbot in the image of the movie’s chatbot and now quite a few people have decided to date it

Holy shit.

Not going to lie…this is exactly where I ate after a full day exploring, and that shit slapped harder than a Pharoah’s crook on my slave skin

Hi 👋 I work in the ICU and often help patients find comfort in their final, dying moments and this is some king shit right here and I say he's innocent

they made being killed by technofascism seem so exciting in the 90s. sleek chrome androids crushing skulls. what it actually looks like is a bunch of extras from The Office who have been pavlovian-condition'd by a website to call you slurs if you stand between them and a vending machine for blowjobs

Spinning "a player who was expected to be drafted in the 1st/2nd round fell into the 5th round" as a Donald Trump Success Story is actually a really good example of how things work around there

ppl keep mistaking Jurassic Park for a survival film against dinosaurs when it's actually a survival film against startup culture

Can’t believe we have this perfect distillation of the horror of what American Christianity has become with JD fucking Vance killing Pope Francis.

Gives me the shivers. 250 years to the day after, the church bells ringing the alarm at Lexington, calling for defenders in what became the battle that began the American Revolution,
Same bell.

If you're not paying attention to the trees and how they sway what are you even doing?

Michael Jordan said "Republicans buy sneakers too" and now Republicans are saying "anybody who buys Michael Jordan-related merchandise deserves to be removed from the United States and sent to a torture prison for the rest of their life"

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission.

A very nice mushroom in reddish oranges and black

Two nice mushrooms glistening in morning-time moisture

A bloom of nice, delicate white mushrooms

A nice multi-layered mushroom in black and white edges

@lukelukeluke.bsky.social I hope I’m doing this right- here are some nice mushrooms! (Sumatran rainforest style)

Forever my hero

I have tariffed
the penguins
that are on
Heard Island

and which
you were probably
assuming
did not export goods

forgive me
they were taking advantage of us
so cunning
and so cold

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Taking this literally- The Stupids

Time for Millennial Rage

A supremely graceful friend I made here in Sumatra

bring us your poor, your tired, and your huddled masses so we can stuff them in an unmarked van and ship them to a slave labor camp in an undisclosed location

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

"Tiger Woods is dating Donald Trump Jr.'s ex-wife, who kept Trump as her last name," I say. Forty-thousand bees descend on me instantly, killing me in seconds. That was the magic sentence, it turns out. The relief is immense.

My current neighbors… can be a little noisy but they’re cute enough to pull it off.
