This is the man who is supposed to replace Kristi Noem.

Democrats need to show this video during Markwayne Mullins’ confirmation hearing. And a lot more. He’s a piece of work.

Saw the "OMG why are 40 & 50 year old people even ON social media?" post & my first thought was, "What do you think *should* happen, kid? Should we all just do a Logan's Run?" & then I realized this child has never once in their life heard of Logan's Run & I turned to dust & my ghost is typing this.

trolley problem diagram, with Sisyhpus pushing his boulder as the trolley car, and text that reads: Sisyphus is rolling a boluder towards the Grand Hilbert Hotel. The hotel has an infinite number of rooms, but they are all full, so they may not be able to accomodate him or his boulder. If you choose to divert him, his boulder will destroy the Ship of Theseus. But the ship has had all of its constituent parts replaced, so it may not actually be the same ship. Is Sisyphus happy?

a question for the ages, really.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

- Wasn't on Facebook early, but had an .edu address for Usenet
- WWIVnet > FidoNet, strictly for vibe reasons, fight me
- Randomly bitten by Fup (the moody Powells Technical store cat) at least twice

- Punch cards were for teething on
- First game played: Colossal Cave Adventure on a Data General box at dad's office
- but mostly I was there to sprint down to the far end of the datacenter and hit a flashing alert button when his code hit a breakpoint
- Still mad at the dumb Atari 400 keyboard

Somewhere around here I have a couple of THINK signs that belonged to my late FIL, and a stack of AIX 3.0 administration books

Holy shit

Andrew Tate: I fly to Saudi tonight. Will cross the desert to get into Dubai with War Room soldiers. While the rest of the world runs away like cowards we show respect to the greatest city on earth. Dubai. We’re coming. He also added a very strange ai generated image of himself and his equally silly brother, both dressed like a cross between Laurence of Arabia and the hero in a dystopian war movie. Their expressions are painfully serious, suggesting long term constipation. They hold guns of various lengths, cosplaying soldiery. The image is in shades of rust and orange

Who needs video games and television when you have the self perception and imagination of the Tater brothers

"Trump Says 'I Guess' Americans Should Worry About Iran Retaliating on U.S. Soil: 'Like I Said, Some People Will Die'

Quite the headline from People.com

These people are literally nuts and they're leading us into a holy war.

Chart showing in many countries, people see their fellow citizens as morally good.

We asked people around the world to rate the morality and ethics of others in their country.

The U.S. is the only place we surveyed where more adults describe the morality and ethics of others living in the country as bad than good. See our full morality report here: www.pewresearch.org/...

And there you have it.

Yeah that checks out

Maryland, huh? That checks out.

Maybe you can go home again.

Fox: You might have people who question Markwayne Mullin's temperament. A couple of years ago there was a labor union witness testifying, and Mullin challenged him to a fight. He actually took his wedding ring off and jumped across the dais. So that might be a strike against him.

At least they'll be easy to find and deport once Trump is gone

A top-down closeup photo of a pale yellow flower with serrated-tip petals, with the ground and leaves below out of focus. There are two little moths in the flower; the moths have a fuzzy gray thorax, and cream-colored wings with thin bands and edges of deep pink.

These pretty, day-flying moths (Heliolonche pictipennis), only about 1 cm. long, are one of my favorite desert spring insects. The only flowers they visit (desert dandelion, desert chicory, or scale bud) close up at night; the moths sleep inside them, which is scientifically adorable. #BugSky 🌿🐙🌼

A lady who rearranged her entire face to get a job doing immense evil while stealing our money and ordering luxury jets so she can cosplay across the country getting fired is unequivocally good

If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

i love "get to know this new, somehow even weirder and worse asshole" hour. we used to do it all the time during trump 1 so this is kind of nostalgic

Using the traditional option for dislodging potential avalanches—explosives—would be difficult, given the timing and the aircrafts the sheriff's office had available. But the night before, at a high-school basketball game, a utility worker with Pacific Gas and Electric Company happened to tell a local sheriffs deputy about an unusual method of dealing with risky slopes. Three years earlier, the company needed to rescue employees and their families who were snowed in at a power plant, and approval for explosives was taking too long. So PG&E had tried dumping water on the slope using a firefighting bucket, Pete Anderson, the senior manager of helicopter operations, told me. It had worked well, and they kept doing it. By Friday morning, Anderson was on the phone explaining the technique to Haack; a few hours later, one of the company's UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters was dangling a 660-gallon bucket full of water from a nearby lake and dumping it on the avalanche slope. The helicopter made seven drops, until the water in the bucket started freezing. Then it dragged the bucket through the slope, like a wrecking ball. "That was pretty effective too," Anderson told me.

Cancel everything, flying a wrecking ball through an avalanche is now my only interest
