Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Into the woods and knit.

Orange and white cat, slightly disgruntled. He says, "Good morning Gonzobongos! Well, apparently the Nobel Committee doesn't give awards to cats because I didn't get one, but it's fine, really."

Goodemorning Gonzobongos! Wel, apparenty tha Nobel Committy doznot giv awardes to ca'ats becawse i didnot git one but its FINE, relly.. .

Do other foreign countries have military bases in the 50 United States and 7 other entities? Is this "normal" in any way whatsoever?

It's always been infantilizing & racist the way they treated DC, that's a precedent Trump builds on, not something he originated. Everybody in the marble halls of the federal government always thought the city was those jungle monkeys incapable of self-governance.

I love the responses to this thread because there are a number of things mentioned that I am definitely not NYC enough to have eaten, but now I want to eat them next time I am in NYC.

I’ll ask again. What’s the demand for Oct 18?

I find it bleak that ChatGPT now has more users than Wikipedia. Many people would rather be spoon-fed information by a machine than read and research for themselves. Tech isn't just making us dumber. Worse than that: it's killing curiosity itself and the desire to learn.

Rare ‘medieval’ artifacts found in B.C. thrift store donated to SFU for study Rare artifacts dating back potentially thousands of years have been found in a British Columbia thrift store and donated to Simon Fraser University for study.

I cannot imagine what it would be like to find 13 rare medieval and Roman artifacts at a charity thrift store in Chilliwack, BC, but I'm glad they were donated to Simon Fraser University for further study: www.sfu.ca/sfunews/stor...

This feels like a shenanigan.

Heads up.

#27 is A Lady's Guide to Etiquette and Murder which was entertaining and interesting enough and lacked diversity in general. Not sure if I will read more in this series. www.goodreads.com/book/show/60...

Idaho being colonized by Qatar was not on my prediction list for 2025 tbh

Qatar is building an Air Force base in Idaho because they wanna move on from investing in American universities to train some useful idiots more directly? And y’all are more mad at randoms on the internet saying your priorities are out of whack than the dipshits who helped make this possible?

Comfort and strength to you and all who love her, Ms. Ng.

GODDAMMIT, KEANU AND SANDRA OH >:'-O

I've been doing a lecture on the life and failures on Charles J. Guiteau for nearly two decades... I feel like my time has finally arrived. Woot!!! 🤓

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Hi. Thanks to those who checked in & sent well-wishes--really means more than I can say. My mom, who many of you "know" from my anecdotes, is now in hospice, so I'm going to be offline for a while. I'll be back when I'm able. Take care, be kind to each other, make sure the people you love know it. ❤️

Middle East Crisis Updates: Israel Approves Gaza Deal That Would Free Hostages and Prisoners

I hope that this ceasefire is a lasting one and that all hostages return home. And I hope this paves the way for a more permanent peace. The atrocities and the suffering of this conflict have gone on far too long.

One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

Our plane to Spain is in the air!

Thank you so much to the countless people supporting us in every way and in particular all of the Rutgers students and faculty who have supported us every step of the way.

Good vibes coming from me.

Mag straks de open haard niet meer aan? Renkumse politiek worstelt met houtstookverbod: ‘Het beperkt vrijheid’ Veel gemeenten willen houtstook beperken of verbieden. Ook in Renkum staat dit onderwerp op de agenda. Terwijl een Renkumse de politiek vertelt hoe haar leven ernstig wordt beperkt door houtrook, wors...

"It restricts freedom."

Nonsense.

This is why I knitted when my kids were little. The knitting stayed done. Mostly. Also sewing.
