yeah
i keep looking for an octopus-free sushi restaurant when traveling & haven’t found one in sf or berkeley

Is there a healthy fascination with Hitler?

Nintendo also probably has better health care policy; Dr Mario believes in germ theory

actually can't quite get over what a poor choice mullin is for this role, in basically every way, and not just for us — for the administration, too.

i’m gen x and this would have been a laughably low % of self reported lgbtq+ people even in the early 90s when hiv stigma was widespread

RFK does not seem to understand that not only should the Massachusetts flag be changed to pink and orange, but that Bostonians have a tradition of standing up for their right to drink the caffeinated beverage of their choice without government interference.

He's right of course. Employer-linked benefits aren't natural law but a WWII wage-control workaround we never bothered to fix. It's also why Americans are afraid to start businesses or leave bad jobs. We've chained risk-taking to a paycheck.

“now i can make things shitty without moving around!”

Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.

A very severe blizzard in Kaktovik, Alaska. @alaskawx.bsky.social

people have been lied to about this. the GOP, the NYT, and sundry centrists have spread this bullshit story where kids are being bum rushed into surgery by a shadowy conspiracy of endocrinologists and gender ideologues

uh

had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane

Sam Altman on X: "Here is re-post of an internal post: We have been working with the DoW to make some additions in our agreement to make our principles very clear. 1. We are going to amend our deal to add this language, in addition to everything else: "• Consistent with applicable laws," / X Here is re-post of an internal post: We have been working with the DoW to make some additions in our agreement to make our principles very clear. 1.

Sam Altman just said he has tweaked his deal with the Pentagon and wrote a list of things he says are part of it, and he chose to include this really great line:

"One thing I think I did wrong: we shouldn't have rushed to get this out on Friday."

this can mean that your time on the active list is weeks/months, rather than years

also, it’s time to remind alaskans that they or their family can go on the -inactive waitlist- for pioneer homes as soon as they turn 60

if you later need to move there, you move to the active list but you keep your seniority from the inactive list

fyi: mini grants to help quality of life for alaskans with alzheimer’s

if you’re familiar w the mental health trust mini grants, same idea & process

i’ve used the mh trust grants for uncovered dental/vision, ramps, repairs, etc.
great program

there’s a reason our standard post-sedation instructions include “stay off social media” along with the usual don’t drive, don’t sign contracts, don’t use a chainsaw

Not to dash anyone’s hopes of It Happening, but that’s almost certainly Imiquimod cream being used to treat a basal cell carcinoma. It’s gross, but if you’re a pale person over 65 who, for example, plays a lot of golf, you can expect to get familiar with it at some point.

Remember what I said about how, when Trump is flailing, they start inserting a fake, fictional Trump into their stories, who is acting rationally and sanely?

Just ira glass narrating my life

it’s a good cut
how long would you want the front/upper pieces? pull back too or let that part stay loose?

roadhouseendgame i was talking to my mom about cardassians and said something along the lines of what must it be like to be a cardassian civilian. like abstractly knowing the rest of the galaxy thinks of your species as 'the evil ones' and kinda sorta knowing your government runs labor camps and torture prisons and is a military empire, and it's a huge deal for everyone else in the galaxy, but you just like run a restaurant so it's not a big part of your daily life, so you just like, go about your day and make soup and don't think about it' and then halfway through my sentence i actually heard myself and then had to go sit down for like ten minutes. like sat down in a chair and stared at the floor for ten minutes

whoops

Decoded list of weather observations from Fairbanks Airport Sunday morning March 1, 2026 showing the low temperature between 3m and 9am AKST was -49F and at 9am visibility was one quarter mile in ice fog.

Fairbanks airport low temperature Sunday morning of -49F (-45.0C) ties the record low for March 1 (also 1956). The only lower March temps were March 12 & 13, 1911, when the low temp both days was -56F. Also, this is likely the first time with dense ice fog in March since Mar 1, 1956. #akwx #Climate

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

the best faith defense for platner is that he's not actually a nazi, he's just a dumbass with genuinely appalling judgment and no self-awareness, but he's found himself talking with nazis so often at this point that you should assume he would continue to do so as a senator

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.
