i have always found it so interesting how little it is mentioned that green day is a queer band. to have an openly bisexual man as your singer in 90s was big deal but i rarely see them talked about as any kind of pioneers in this way. dont really have an opinion on this just think it is interesting
Why do we sing of its fame? We really like saying it's name!

Six four-leaf clovers of various sizes on a white paper towel with a quarter for scale. The quarter is a little bigger than an individual leaf of the smallest clover. The largest could fit several quarters on each of its four leaves. It looks less like a collection of four-leaf clovers and more like a collection of four-leaf shamrocks, the leaves are so big
Here are the six clovers I brought home, all ready to be pressed
Today I found multiple 4-leaf clovers today. Real ones. And one of them is massive!
I'm always amazed at how many people have not seen one in real life, but I go on a walk and bring home six
There's apparently an English language remake of the weird AF South Korean horror-comedy "Save the Green Planet!" up for an Oscar this year. I haven't seen it, but the original is very fascinating and difficult
"...as the U.S.’ once-vaunted science institutions fall to political capture it becomes a consequential vulnerability for any government or agency whose overstretched policy staff rely on the outputs of large language models."

HEARTBREAKING! My little boy is going blind in Gaza. His eyes are fading away. I beg you on my knees, please help me save his sight before it’s too late. I can't bear to see him in darkness forever. Please, have mercy! SAVE HIS EYES!

You know what autistic people don't need? TWO terrible U.S. autism committees. Both RFK Jr's IACC and the Autism Science Foundation's Alison Singer's I-ACC strategically exclude autistic concerns and needs. By @ejwillingham.bsky.social, in the latest TPGA newsletter:

Oh, wow, and I have more than a few Quebecois in my family tree
Okay, I have ancestors from St. Marie de Beauce, Trembles, Lauzon, & St. Foye. My ancestors were Quebecois!
I wonder if my French-by-way-of-Canada ancestry would work
A cartoon by me and Nadine Scholtes. TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has three panels – although the final panel is divided into two sub-panels. PANEL 1 In a newsroom (we can see a desk, and framed front-page stories on the wall), an older reporter, who is white and male, is talking to a younger Black reporter. The older reporter is wearing an off-white shirt with a red necktie; the younger reporter is a bit more casually dressed in a gray polo shirt. Let’s call the older reporter “NECKTIE.” Necktie has his arms folded behind his back, and a condescending expression. NECKTIE: Percy, you can’t write about police violence. You’re not objective. PANEL 2 We are looking at Necktie again. In the background, we can see a young male reporter, with a red shirt and glasses, and a younger female reporter, wearing a jacket over a light pink blouse, both sitting behind desks. NECKTIE: Just like Joey can’t write about trans issues. NECKTIE: And Alicia tweeted about being sexually assaulted. So she can’t write sex crime stories. Reporters must be objective! PANEL 3 This panel is divided into two sub-panels. The first panel shows Alicia, having stood up, speaking critically to Necktie; Necktie has his arms folded and is grinning. ALICIA: But by that standard, isn’t everyone “biased”? NECKTIE: Not quite everyone. A thought balloon leads from Necktie’s head to the second sub-panel. This panel shows Necktie, now wearing a jacket, a crown, and a sash with “cis white male” printed on it, standing on a little platform. The other three reporters are enthusiastically cheering for Necktie, and Alicia is swooning a bit with little hearts in the air around her head. Behind Necktie is an enormous lit-up sign – the kind with a border made of light bulbs. The sign says, in large letters, “ALWAYS OBJECTIVE.” Balloons and confetti and roses fall from above. The balloons have lettering, which say things like “upper class” “white” “cis” “male” “abled” “thin” and “straight.”

An article titled "The Rise of the Techno-Pastoral" by Lisa Peralta. The image that accompanies it depicts a gameboy whose screen shows a pixelated green field and trees, and its lead reads "When criticizing the present, we keep dreaming of the technology of the past. Is this logic sound?"
I made a blog!
been thinking a lot about our relationship to technology and what I find unsettling about "tech detox" culture

go read this great essay!!!!
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
The abusive, racist response of these neighbors to *a bunch of loud kids* is so disturbing because feels like everything that is wrong with this country in one 7-second video nutshell.
What do you say to someone who believes their chatbot has unlocked the keys to the universe? I talked to mental health experts who are following the 'AI psychosis' issue closely to find out: www.404media.co/ai-psychosis...
Apparently the weird words are weirdly transliterated Cyrillic. Those are Russian words

My hairdresser and friend opened her business last week. Tonight it burned to the ground. This is devastating.
I’ve set up a fundraiser. If you haven’t done anything for international women’s day yet, here’s a chance to support a women-run business in need: www.paypal.com/pools/c/9nhn...
This is really heartbreaking. My heart goes out to everyone affected by the fire in Glasgow. You know the drill. Donate. Boost. Help however you can. Let’s help turn dreams that were burned to ash back into dreams that are coming true.
This is a major fire. If you're in or near Glasgow, please wear a respirator mask if you need to go near the fire. Keep an eye on the winds for the next week or so as well, as winds can blow ash & other particles pretty far. Stay safe!
There isn't. It actually makes more sense that we'd have multiple natural sleep cycles so it would be unlikely for the entire troop to be asleep at once. Also, once I accepted neurodiversity for processing/attention, neurodiversity for sleep makes sense too
I prefer Standard myself. I also think that the way society is built forces most people into unnatural sleep cycles regardless of what the clocks say
i just watched a video on this and i love it. every time i have tried to build something dependent on a platform rather than a protocol, i have regretted it. they always contort into something worse
IRC is a lot of fun. Some of the people I follow on social media are people I followed from the blogosphere, so maybe I should check to see which ones still have them. The internet can be fun again!
A man in Alabama is set to be executed this Thursday for a murder he did not commit.
Charles Burton was part of a group robbery in which one of his accomplices fatally shot a man in the back, unbeknownst to Burton who had already left the store.

PARTIALLY DEVOURED is more about Duane Jones - explaining him, chasing his genius, understanding why he disappeared - than anyone else.
Having Barnaby’s gorgeous, noble painting as the cover is a huge honor.
