So much nope. I'm going to have the heebie-jeebies for hours.

Ugh, sorry to hear that - although I think we're all less fond of FB than we used to be.

Yeah Cambodian takeout was our post-protest treat!

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

And according to Wikipedia they have been using "flapjack" for centuries and it always meant an oatcake kind of thing. So I guess we here in the US are the weird ones.

We had the same confusion. When Paul first said the word, I thought, wow, pancakes are so easy to make there must be some added requirement that makes this super interesting! And then it was... a bar cookie like a granola bar.

This one's maybe a little on the ling side, but trust me, it's worth it. I've cried reading it multiple times.

Today's #WeAreAllDC protest in downtown Washington, D.C. demanding an immediate withdrawal of federal troops from the District and an end to the federalization of the local police department.

I remember those!

My sister lives in a house that was used for filming that show (rental) and she dreads being discovered. Her last house was used for One Tree Hill and groupies came by constantly.

We were literally sitting down to rewatch Apollo 13 when I saw this.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

one of the single best deals in streaming. i've been paying for PBS Passport for years. it rules

Celtic Mythology with Professor Patrick O'Neill at UNC-CH. Took it with a bunch of friends. The grad students in the class were a little bewildered at this invasion of undergrads. Fun class and so interesting!

I've done that before myself. Sometimes a second look is all it takes. I loved that book!

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

I'm not a South Park fan but I have to admire their no holds barred attitude on this one.

I found the chapters set during the Cultural Revolution fascinating.

I'll be interested to hear what you think comparing the two. I read the book first and did not find it engaging after the first few chapters, but the series was riveting.

Are you watching the series or reading the book?

Fascinating. Microsoft emailed me to say it was raising the price of Microsoft 365, but when i went to cancel it offered me me the old price — without all the AI bullshit.

It’s forcing AI on everyone and making them pay more for it, then only telling them they don’t have to if they try to cancel.

How awful, I'm so sorry.

Hundreds of scientists are set to take part in the first performance of a new Scottish country dance inspired by the ripples in spacetime whose existence was first theorised by Albert Einstein.

The mad thing is, for like %99.998 of human history, nobody really spoke to anyone who wasn't born within a couple miles of them, and we're supposed to believe that *now* people's horizons are too narrow?

That's our current routine as well! Still have a few left to watch.

Your thread gave me a desperately needed lift. Thank you.

I'd love to go into orbit but actually living on the moon or Mars is right out. Spacewalks would give me the screaming jimjams.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.

So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

That's terrifying! I won't be sleeping either. 😄
