This is what peak performance looks like.

I know a cat that needs at least one of these.

100%

Sounds awesome. I would also be happy to give away my share. I would be especially pleased to see him absorbed by some kind of intangible blob.

I’m happy for the folks that can get this and all the money y’all have raised!!! What a great collection.

Sleepy time bear

It's Friday night baby

in my view, the key scholarly work that explains the origin of the modern market in children that we call #adoption is this: Viviana Zelizer’s PRICING THE PRICELESS CHILD

A bit tired of all the existential threats tbh.

dude they're nerfing your boss fight based on social media reactions. yeah your otherwise unique and challenging encounter is now pretty trivial and you have super exploitable weaknesses now just because genre newcomers didn't understand your fairly straightforward patterns

I’m going to get this one soon, it sounds fantastic

ugh what a nightmare

O'Neill was previously CEO of the Thiel Foundation, managing director at Thiel Capital, managing director of Clarium Capital, a hedge fund led by Peter Thiel, and managing director of Mithril Capital Management, a VC fund founded by Peter Thiel that funds Palantir. He co-founded the Thiel Fellowship

Political cartoon by Herblock. White man with a briefcase initialed B.G. (it's Barry Goldwater) standing on the street speaking to a woman sitting in a doorway surrounded by four children, one a babe in arms. Caption: "If you had any initiative, you'd go out and inherit a department store."

Too good an image to go without alt text.

I love the joy

Seriously. yucko.

Reminder! My mentions are a no “do nothing guy” zone. Responding with all the reasons why doing something won’t work takes more effort than just doing nothing and discourages others from doing something and that’s a toxic infectious “do nothing” bomb. You can even try doing something instead!

In genetics:
'Trans-acting' = a gene exerts influence on another gene on a different chromosome.
'Expression' = when a gene produces an effect in the cell

They tagged two of the most common terms in genetic research for defunding because we put fascist tech-bros in charge of our science. 😠

WoW has made me consider either dusting off the old Pinterest account or making a new one after several years of not logging in. 🙃 Unreal. 😅

I'm sorry, this sucks. :(

A screenshot from the World of Warcraft. The sky is full of stars, and there is a large moon or other planet nearby on the bottom left of the image with it's own unique geography with the idea of mountains and waterways. The sky is a beautiful combination of a mottled gradient of dark blues to light purples, mixed together with depth in a way that feels very true to life.

Have you ever played @worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com and looked at the sky? It's actually so gorgeous. These details make the world feel so real sometimes. I was doing some random stuff in Draenor yesterday and was genuinely startled by how lovely this was.

Behold, the thin blue line in action.
Fuck the police, and ACAB forever.

Wow this was very good - almost makes me want to watch the show too!

Heated Rivalry Holds Up a Mirror to My Deepest Self | The Walrus Ilya Rozanov is queer, Slavic, and shackled to his homeland—like me

Oh man this gutpunch of a piece by @filipouris.bsky.social. "Heated Rivalry exposes, among other things, the personal yet universal experience of carrying a hidden self across borders." thewalrus.ca/heated-rival...

Smartphone screenshot showing two New York Times “Breaking News” push notifications. The first, at 5:38 AM, says Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office over links to Jeffrey Epstein, citing the BBC. The second, at 2:01 AM, says Yoon Suk Yeol, South Korea’s ousted leader, was found guilty of leading an insurrection over his 2024 martial law decree. Each notification includes a “Share” option and a bell icon.

Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.

Fantastic piece here on context and its importance. Plus, you know, people aren’t all the fucking same.

The recent RI shooter was a transgender neo-Nazi, so I'm resharing the preview of my forthcoming @uchicagopress.bsky.social book on this surprisingly common topic. The @glreview.bsky.social piece explores Buck Angel’s transition from progressive darling to MAGA acolyte glreview.org/article/maki...

Floof peekin’ out 🪶

Seems like generally a bad idea all around.

The psoas muscle can tighten during stress so even if you've got your happy face on, you could say... uh... the hips don't lie.

Trains really are very cool.
