@jon_snow_420 god: i have made Mankind angels: you fucked up a perfectly good monkey is what you did. look at it. it's got anxiety 18:54 • 28 Oct 15

just shared this in a group and realised it’s the anniversary of this absolute s tier tweet by @jon-snow-420.bsky.social

As a theoretical cosmologist, I'm frequently asked "what is the benefit of the work you're doing for people's lives?" Nothing I work on makes money or cures disease.

There are a few different answers one can give, at various levels of "convincing" / "actually relevant to why the work is done."

#AcademicSky I'm trying to compile a list of academic conferences (> 1.000 participants) that were supposed to be organised in USA in 2025/2026 but that were canceled or made hybrid. (I saw some such instances here I think, but hard to find them again)

Let me know if you know of such conferences.

Swiss glaciers have lost 3% of their ice volume in 2025! 🔥

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

It truly cannot be restated enough that earlier this year Trump pardoned everyone involved with J6, the largest event of political violence in the US in my lifetime. They have absolutely no credibility here and deserve to be confronted with this fact whenever they're in public.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Some years ago, in my town, a local politician threw in the trash the meager properties of a homeless person.

He got condemned by everyone, including his own very rightwing party, and fined for using the wrong trash container.

No one defended him.

Trieste is very far from California.

Wasn't he DG from 81 to 88? That's what the obituary says

I checked because I could not believe this one was real and folks, this is real.

Just to accurately lay out the course of events, people were yelling at him because his auto-responding robot that was trained on Twitter’s userbase still displayed — against all odds — a modicum of empathy. He then made the robot speak like him and within hours it was calling itself Mechahitler.

"2 dangers

1) to argue that private jets are such a small percentage, therefore they should be left alone

2) to argue that until private jets are not dealt with we shouldn't do anything about the remaining 97% of emissions from passenger aviation

We should avoid both." @giuliomattioli.bsky.social

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

The Onion continues to excel at using satire to punch through the oh so polite tools of journalism about politics--abstract rhetoric and wordsmithing--and just call things like they are.
