Let's Check In With The Knitting Olympians | Defector Knitting is the perfect activity to calm the body and soothe the mind during a high-pressure event like the Winter Olympics. Once you internalize your stitch pattern, you can just zone out and focus…

four stick figures on sleds, one is sliding face first, face down, marked "skeleton", diagonally opposite to it is one sliding feet first, face up, marked "luge". The other two combinations are drawn and labeled with question marks

given the existence of skeleton and luge, i postulate the existence of two other, yet to be discovered, winter olympic sports

Yeah, I support Newsom. I appreciate the harp, and I think she and Andy Samberg are just such a power couple

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

As a teacher and as someone who’s created political education materials, I think we need to make more stuff like this.

A lot of the easily available videos on social issues are riddled with misinformation or disinformation or bad politics or are panels, and often don’t explain how things work.

Anthropomorphizing language can be cute when applied to your favorite car, but it helps to muddy the discourse when applied to tech sold as "AI". New from me & @nannainie.bsky.social on @techpolicypress.bsky.social -- how to spot & revise away from anthropomorphizing language applied to "AI"

Philippine Airlines Inflight Safety Video #PALSafetynovela | Care That Comes From The Heart YouTube video by Philippine Airlines

When I flew ANA airlines in Japan, they had a Pokemon-themed inflight safety video that I thought was my favourite, but I think Phillippine Airlines might take the cake:

In a green E of an illuminated manuscript the three kings are asleep in one bed, under a pink coverlet. They are wearing their crowns, but though we can only see arms and shoulders and heads, it seems like they're naked. One is white with a long grey beard, one is white with a short black beard, and one is beardless and black. There's a golden angel hovering over them in the top part of the letter, looking glowing and benevolent.

Happy Epiphany! It's the time when I traditionally post this manuscript image: There Was Only One Bed

Call your Congressperson now. It will be logged as “Holy cow we got X calls on the week end”. If they’re Dems they need these calls to pressure worse Dems & better Republicans. Don’t give up the ship yall.

A sentence from the Wikipedia article on Police stating "Police forces have become ubiquitous and a necessity in complex modern societies." A [citation needed] tag has been added to the sentence.

When editing Wikipedia, sometimes it's funnier to add the tag than to fix the sentence. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police

I did not bring a crochet hook on my holiday travels and I have already wished for a crochet hook twice, even though I'm not crocheting anything. Future packing note.

You would think that cleaners would make it easier to tell what's ammonia and what's bleach. Why do I have to risk the dangers of the Great War every time I clean my toilet??

You might think that eggnog ice cream would be perfect, given that eggnog is already a milk-and-sugar-based beverage. Well, you'd be right. It's freaking GREAT and my only regret is I made it decades on this earth without trying it before
