I know most of the focus is on RFK Jr.'s weird horny texts, but the news that he used to spam Bill Nye with anti-vax weirdness and Bill was like, "Dude, you're you're confusing correlation for causation" is the only RFK text-message news I will ever need.

“‘Do you think there’s something a bit… odd about Littlebottom?’ ‘Seems like a perfectly ordinary female to me,’ said Angua. ‘Female? He told you he was female?’ ‘She,’ Angua corrected. ‘This is Ankh-Morpork, you know. We’ve got extra pronouns here.’”

Recently helped a ham friend turn a painter's pole and some junk into a nice little antenna to get him on 10 meter. I used a catfish rod to move the antenna wire up and down for tuning, it made sense at the time. His first contact was 9,100 km away and might have given him the radio bug for life.

Remember 25 years ago when a photo was taken of a fed pointing a gun at a crying refugee child and the image was so shameful it dominated the news cycle for a year

Nothing like a surprise invite to a same-day "company update" meeting to spike the ol' panic. It doesn't help that they phrased it like "We're hosting a company update meeting to share the latest strategic decisions."

Just trying to give us all anxiety disorders.

That’s actually really interesting, but the simplest explanation is still that Peterson is just Sheogorath, the god of madness.

In an obscure corner of Kazakhstan, the remains of an ocean millions of years old have created probably the most surreal landscape on earth -- as captured by photographer Daniel Kordan

No more kings. Vimes had difficulty in articulating why this should be so, why the concept resonated in his very bones. After all, a good many of the patricians had been as bad as any king. But they were...sort of...bad on equal terms. What set Vimes's teeth on edge was the idea that kings were a different kind of human being. A higher lifeform. Somehow magical.

Marched for #nokings, ate some delicious tacos (cochinita pibil is life changing), and got to see a bucket list band, Autechre, play at Portal Louisville. Hell of a Saturday if I may say so myself.

Partner and I were just talking about this last night when a movie we'd enjoyed was 6.8 on IMDB and 81% on Rotten Tomatoes and I'd never seen any writing about it before today

I have gathered my thoughts and turned it into a fun blog about how IMDb is hell. I hope you like a long, under-explained list of movie ratings. aftermath.site/imdb-review-...

One of the best editor's notes I've ever witnessed in the new Wired article about Cybertruck owners, just flawless

www.wired.com/story/owning...
Screenshot of a quote - How do you feel about becoming a political lightning rod? People occasionally just flip [me] off or whatever, but nobody's come up to me and tried to make a statement about anything. Personally, it's kind of dumb. It's just a vehicle. So it's ironic that it would even become a political statement, but nonetheless it is. [Editor’s note: Taylor was arrested and plead guilty to conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding in the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He was later pardoned by President Trump.]

When Mike Johnson or another national leader repeatedly claims they haven’t seen relevant things in the news, an appropriate reporter reaction would be “Holy cow, how do you not know?!? How can you do your job without knowing what’s happening? What are you doing to fix your ‘not knowing’ problem?”
beijingpalmer.bsky.social BeijingPalmer @beijingpalmer.bsky.social · Oct 13
I don't understand why U.S. reporters so regularly seem to let politicians get away with 'I haven't seen that' about stuff a) they obviously know and b) is directly relevant to their job. Did they sign some kind of agreement never to ask a follow-up question?
atrupar.com Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · Oct 13
REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts?

MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

Oh, you know, just listening to an almost 25-year-old punk album and super thankful that we've resolved all the problems that they were talking about.
Verse 1] Right-wing theocracy maintaining inequality Have organized politically to uphold traditional hierarchies Between rich and poor, black and white Wanting homosexuals out of sight And conventional marriage between a woman and a man Increasing political pressure until abortion is banned Because killing is bad, but guns are good For slaying doctors just like Jesus would Or arming Christian soldiers for the next crusade Killing all the heathens that won't be saved Protecting us from immigrants and perverted sexual deviants A world of mindless Christians is what they want Carrying out their modern-day witch-hunt [Chorus] Falwell, Robertson and Kennedy are defining immortality They're bashing sexuality and cashing in on bigotry Modern day witch-hunt [Verse 2] The Christian Reconstructionists are acting as the catalysts Grooming young activists to become Christian fundamentalists Convincing with every medium that can lend a hand That the youth should serve God's divine plan So that "Biblical law" can be set in place And their bigoted morals must be embraced That's the Christian coalition's resolution To transform every home into God's institution With a kitchen for women and a closet for gays And a man in charge to make sure that's where they stay And if they don't comply, there's always domestic violence To keep women subordinate, scared and silent Making everything the way that God would want Contributing to this modern day witch-hunt See upcoming rock shows Get tickets for your favorite artists You might also like Xenophobia Aus-Rotten ...And Now Back To Our Programming Aus-Rotten The World Bank Aus-Rotten [Chorus] Falwell, Robertson and Kennedy are defining immortality They're bashing sexuality and cashing in on bigotry Modern day witch-hunt [Verse 3] Demonizing feminism Indoctrinated sexism National chauvinism promotes authoritarianism Empowered women threaten Christians' plan Of being an obedient dog and serving man Like gays, lesbians and transgendered Roles that don't reflect Christian principles Living your life by what the bible says But your God is a myth and Christ is dead Letting the Bible do your thinking is so absurd Because your malfunctioned God never wrote a word Those who actually wrote the Bible on your shelves Were straight, bigoted men just like yourselves Your word of God is just a front That justifies this modern-day witch-hunt [Chorus] Falwell, Robertson and Kennedy are defining immortality They're bashing sexuality and cashing in on bigotry Modern day witch-hunt [Outro] Your bigoted religion is what you trust But your sick God doesn't govern us Modern day witch-hunt
