The 1912 article gets rolled out a lot but it’s my solemn duty as a historian to remind folks it’s *worse* than that

Eunice Foote published greenhouse gas studies in EIGHTEEN-FUCKING-FIFTY-SIX (of course, as a woman she couldn’t read her OWN paper at scientific conferences - god FORBID 🙄)

I know I took a bath and my fingers are all swollen and unrecognizable but it's me, phone, I assure you.

Ah, my bad!

How did you manage to read the mathic order as libertarian? Did you miss the extended passages detailing the elaborate administrative and punitive apparatuses?

Chapter 6, most definitely.

Turns out conlaw was just one of those nonsense punishment tests from the monks in Anathem

Crypto is probably next, but don't assume you won't like some of his others if that one doesn't click.

Oh, they have sex shops? I've been getting mine at the USCF store!

Such a perfect way to describe him!

Ah, fuck, did we *have* to have Snow Crash? I wanted Anathem

Something like 3000, unfortunately

You're cute and wonderful with or without the nails. But the nails are super cute too.

Thanks, but I stopped liking being swaddled when I was maybe two years old. To each their own!

The Spelling Bee won't take capacitive, cavatappi, or cavitate. Crimes, I tell you. Crimes.

In 2022, the Spelling Bee screwed me out of a Queen Bee by including the word "phablet". Now in 2025, they no longer take the word. I mean, sure, that's the better state of being -- phablet is not a cromulent word -- but I feel I've been cheated twice.

Huh. I guess based on the penultimate episode of Andor, it's officially canon that "Deathstar" is one "single word".

Go Valkyries! Happy first game and season opener.

My team was excited to join the flag raising in Oakland this week, and we’re so excited to support our WNBA team in the Bay!

You haven't read Anathem until you've re-read Anathem

I would 100% watch this.

Wow, that University Challenge final!

A screenshot of a phone lock screen that includes an off-white rectangle with the following words in red: "We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture. This is not a place of honor. No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here. Nothing valued is here. What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. The danger is still present in your time as it was in ours."

Why yes, this IS the perfect lock screen photo, thank you.

Every time I unlock my phone to access the internet/social media it rings more true.

I've hiked the East Bay parks for decades and never been fortunate enough to see a rattlesnake there, and yet every year the EBRPD taunts me with this advisory. It's cruel.

I'm no vermeologist but the pronounced clitellum does seem somewhat of a giveaway.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

Idk who needs to hear this, but the 1993 production of Cabaret is ridiculously good and couldn't be more timely. Sam Mendes directs, Alan Cumming rules the stage as the sexy Emcee, and Jane Horrocks as Sally puts both Liza Minnelli and Dame Judi Dench to shame. Go watch it now.

"At least four"? How many grandparents do most people have??
