Saying you're going to determine the cause of Autism by September is like declaring that you'll be discovering the Lost city of Atlantis next weekend.

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

Cannot believe that @vicmmic.bsky.social is being punished for being potentially the funniest person on Earth this episode of @gamechangershow.bsky.social

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

DESI releasing its info suggesting the cosmological constant might actually NOT be constant is rad as hell. Shout out to the potential Great Collapse at the end of the universe.

My wife uses MyFitnessPal and likes it a lot. I've got no experience with it though so am unfamiliar with the ad situation.

Food Safety Doc This document provides some basic information regarding food safety, along with some more detailed advice on food preparation and food storage. This isn’t an all-inclusive guide for everything you cou...

Food Safety Doc (docs.google.com/document/d/1...) has been updated. New revisions: Mold vs Oxidation in raw produce, H5N1 and potential thermal resistance to pasteurization.

Vitamin C, elderberry gummies or fermented garlic won't prevent viral respiratory infections. Instead; wear an N95/equivalent mask, get vaccinated every year on time, and consider iota-carrageenan spray. This algae-based product is evidence-backed as both preventing AND shortening viral infections!

It's February and we're still listening to Christmas music. My son is a tyrant and cannot be stopped.

All my homies know that Jupiter is a superior gas giant to Saturn. All my homies love Jupiter unconditionally.

I have a library card!
Do you have a library card?

Unfortunately I suffer from a desire to do everything and live a life that is as full and interesting as possible

In 3rd grade I had to do summer school to learn to read analog clocks only for the world to swiftly abandon the standard, so excuse me if I don't give the Doomsday clock much respect.

The 3000 piece puzzle my wife has selected for our next project is so big we had to duct tape two tables together to work on it.

BOOK RECS NEEDED!!
Fantasy, Sci-fi, and Non-Fiction preferred.
Iso Female and PoC authors.
Let me know what you love!

The two books I would have the whole world read are both Carl Sagan books. This and Cosmos are so insightful that, for me, they redefined what it means to be human. Please read them. Please recommend them. Please please, now more than ever.

Raising kind-hearted children during the rise of the hegemonic American Empire is going to be really scary, I think.

The Tower of the Swallow by Andrzej Sapkowski
Tier: B
Score: 6/10

Ciri's segments were pretty alright but together the story didn't hold me and felt like a weird turn in trajectory.

If you're a hitchhikers guide fan, you've got to tackle the Discworld books! Fantastic stuff.

Baptism of Fire by Andrzej Sapkowski
Tier: A
Score: 8/10

Maybe my favorite Witcher book so far. Loved the ending. Geralt's character has never been better and the theme of Destiny is really strong here.

2024 Gender Identity
Male Author - 93.8% (From 72.9%)
Female Author - 3.1% (From 27.1%)

Similarly the year of Rereads has tanked my reading of Non-Male authors. I note that if an Author's Gender ID is not something they're open about, they are not included in these numbers.

2024 Racial Identity
White Author - 95.3% (From 89.4%)
Non-White - 1.6% (From 10.6%)

Unfortunate consequence of my rereading year is that my already poor split between white and non-white authors was made worse. Looking to improve in 2025. Recommendations highly appreciated.

2024 Genre Info
Fantasy - 58 (90.6%) From 85.9%
Science Fiction - 6 (9.4%) From 12.9%
Realistic Fiction - 0 (0%) From 0%
Non-fiction - 0 (0%) From 1.2%

Unsurprised to see Fantasy and Sci-Fi on top. If not for the focus on #Cosmere content, the two would likely be closer.

2024 Numerical Scores (of 10)
Average - 7.7 (1.1 higher)
Adjusted to Goodreads Scale - 4.0
Average Goodreads Score - 4.4

This means I was slightly more harsh than the average reader on Goodreads by 0.4 points.

Also, 10 points scales will always be superior.

With a year focused on rereading some of my favorite books it makes sense to skew toward primo vibes.
#Booksky #Booktok

Every book I read I give a Tier Score and a Numerical Score (out of 10). Tier is all about vibes and Numerical is about perceived quality of the writing. Example, a book I rate S7 has would have absolutely unmatched vibes and above average writing but with a few things lacking.

And they only get bigger. I understand.
