Frodo: I wish so much unbelievably stupid shit had not happened in my time

Gandalf: So do all who live to see such times. This is all exceptionally stupid, though

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

September is Bi Visibility Month, so perceiving me may be easier, as all bisexuals have disadvantage on stealth rolls until Halloween 1st.

Guest Post: Feeling Nourished in Our Worship of Jesus Christ β€” Exponent II Blog What are these holes in my paper cup? These holes are things in my life that get in the way of me feeling nourished in my worship.

I wrote (and gave) a talk a few weeks ago in church, then it was accepted as a guest post on Exponent II! I’m pretty excited.

I say this extremely seriously: one of the main skills children have to learn to be adults is to do things they *don't* find interesting. This is both because many necessary things in life are boring and because sometimes interesting things take time and effort first.

Boundaries: I don't want to see that thing so I will block it for myself.

Censorship: I don't want to see that thing so I will block it for everybody.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless β€” a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class β€” is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

An orange butterfly (or moth?) sits upside down on a rain gutter. It has black spots on its wings, and white spots on just the top half of its wings as well.

It feels like we should be making a bigger deal of β€œwe actually did in fact find a cure for AIDS”

What ChatGPT has made even clearer to me is that there is a large population of people who have no opinions of their own, no taste of their own, no feelings or thoughts of their own, or if they have them, they don't trust them.
They would outsource thinking to a spouse or parent before, now it's AI

If you’re worried about teenagers spending too much time online, maybe try making offline less shit, less expensive, and less likely to involve local Facebook group busybodies crying about how teenagers dared to exist in a group in a public space?

Bill is awful and should have been summarily ejected from any position of influence years ago

girl full offense but if you are seeing anyone's genitals in the bathroom at any point you have fucked up. i've spent 30 years using women's restrooms and i have never in my life seen anyone's junk except my own

Yes to all your points. Garments have gotten so much more expensive! And I feel like they’re much more flimsier than they used to be, so they’re wearing out faster too

The freakout about the Zohran government possibly opening some groceries store in food deserts is fascinating because the simplest way for capital to route around it would be for businesses just open up there and obviate the need but they appear unwilling/uninterested in doing so, so govt steps in.

Collective griping about bad generic versions of drugs in the other thread made me realize it's been a while since the PSA: if your pharmacy switches which manufacturer they use to supply a generic drug, and the drug works differently or doesn't work, file an adverse effects report with the FDA.
