Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Having a seriously bad anxiety day.
Nothing I have the slightest bit of control over. Something that in all liklihood will turn out fine.
However, Anxiety doesn't listen to logic. It wordt case scenarios everything. It's really fucking awful. An annoying thing might, but probably won't, happen. FML.

Not quite true: we try and apply rules only to later find there are exceptions and complcations everywhere.
Mendelisn genetics is fine as an umbrella theory but scratch the surface and hoo boy.

Biology is so wild. It doesn't respect the rules we make up.
We all know children inherit genes from their parents. But it turns out mothers also inherit genes from their children!
And it can help them. (But it can also hurt them.)

If you haven't heard of Lord Cochrane - possibly the maddest, baddest, most brilliant bastard in British history, do yourself a favour and look him up. You will not believe the shit he pulled, and - mostly - got away with.

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"

Sadness resolves. Good memories from when MTV was genuinely a music channel.
They should have the decency to rename their reality bullshit channel to FuckwitTV or something and let the MTV era end with at least a little decency.

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were:
MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles)
Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna)
MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls)
MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

it's The Most Wonderful Card Of The Year Tuesday! as 2025 comes to a close, share your favorite new (or new to you) magic card!
Just went with the first card that came to mind. For all Aetherdrift's faults, there were a handful of cards I loved, especially this guy:

Really in a mental health rut at the minute. Things I have no control whatsoever over destroying all my joy. It's so frustrating.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Took me 25 minutes to give up on the #steelers today. They got the winning season for Mid Tomlin to keep his job, so time to lay eggs against the Browns and Ravens to miss the playoffs. Again.
