Toss up between "broken ankle while trying to clear snow off the driveway" and "broke a finger during wallyball by swinging at a ball that was coming down the wall and catching the wall with my finger"
What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain.

Did you know that for five bucks a month you get access to the PBS passport streaming app which has tons of incredibly good shows and documentaries and things and it helps support their funding?

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

Clowns will say it doesn't matter; we don't have the numbers to impeach.

You get the numbers by FORCING THE ISSUE. You make NOISE, you DEMAND, you NEVER STOP YELLING.

You do nothing? You get nothing.

Ignore the clowns. Call your fucking reps and tell them to do their jobs and IMPEACH.

Huntington's is an inherited disease that's like Alzheimers + Parkinson's all in one. NOW: "once the gene therapy has been delivered into the brain... [it] injects a piece of DNA to reprogram the neuron to become a factory for its own cure."

Counterpoint: fuck you
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'

"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Say what you will about Joss Whedon, I think it was genius for Dollhouse to introduce a new technology, spend the whole first season looking at various ways it could be used, and then in the season 1 finale just throw up a "3 years later" title card and immediately show a post-apocalyptic hellscape.

Finished reading "There Is No Antimemetics Division" by @qntm.org and it was exactly my jam!

I like how it starts almost as a series of short stories in the world that slowly connect, and then pushes the concept *way* farther than expected

If you like SCP-like stories, you'll probably love this 😄

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me

Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

This is something I'd been thinking about for the last while (mostly but not entirely because of the negative online Stranger Things reaction) - there are people out there who see every dropped thread or minor inconsistency as an unforgivable (Cinema)Sin and it's kinda sad
Audiences are the architects of their own misery because they don't know how to enjoy something on its own terms, and the more that thing builds in importance, the worse it gets for them.

Many of you are psyching yourself up to start that dream project in 2026.

AWESOME

Just keep in mind that devoting your free time to achieving your dreams is not the same as Hustle Culture. Keep your mind on you and your art and don't fall into the trap of thinking every minute should be monetized.
